Upgrade StorageImporting to reformatted computer
The last time I reformatted my computer and re-imported my Zotero library, all the "Date added" entries were reset to the date of re-import--rather than the original date the references were added. I'd like to reformat my computer again, and was wondering if there is a way to avoid this resetting of dates.

BecFromMDI think these are the directions I followed last time. Any other suggestions? If not, I'll try following these directions and see what happens...

dstillman Zotero TeamNo, you didn't. These instructions involve simply copying your entire data directory, so there's no way for Date Added to get reset. That only happens if you use export and import.
