Upgrade StorageZotero Data dissapeared - Help!!
Hi,
I am Using Zotero 2.0b7.4. under WINXP
I just changed the place where the Zotero Data should be stored from "Firefox Profile Directory" to a Custom Place on my hard drive.
After restarting Firefox I the new place is now set up: BUT: my library is empty and all the zotero data is gone!
Of course I was expecting that my data would now appear in my new place?!?
I don't dare to just switch back to "Firefox Profile Directory" because I fear the empty library will overwrite all my data, so I would like to save my zotero-library first.
The problem is that I can't find the Firefox profile directory nowhere.
Im am using Zotero in a virtualized Environment. (Our university uses Microsoft Application Virtualisation). Is this the reason for the problem? I can also not find the Zotero Data in my roaming profile and searching my computer also did not help.
Can I solve the problem by just switching back to the Profile Directory for saving the Library?
Any help very apreciated!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
But I really think this is a usability issue. There really should be an alert telling you this when you change the storage location.
