Upgrade StorageEndnoteX4 to Zotero
I try to export from EndnoteX4 (RIS style added, and exported in RIS format as .txt, as told by tutorial) into Zotero2.1.1 with ZotFile and OpenOffice integration 3.5a1 installed on a windows7 64bit system.
I get an error to please check if the file is correct and try again ("Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten beim Importieren der ausgewählten Datei. Bitte überprüfen Sie, ob die Datei korrekt ist und versuchen Sie es erneut."). Nevertheless, it does import the very first entry into Zotero.
I tried export files as small as one entry total, same result.
RIS.txt File looks like this and is UTF-8 encoded:

AB - Axonal steering reactions depend on the transformation of environmental information into internal, directed structures, which is achieved by differential modulation of the growth cone cytoskeleton; key elements are the microtubules, which are regulated in their dynamics by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). We investigated a potential role of the MAP adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) for growing axons, employing embryonic visual system as a model system. APC is concentrated in the distalmost (i.e., growing) region of retinal ganglion cell axons in vivo and in vitro. Within the growth cone, APC is enriched in the central domain; it only partially colocalizes with microtubules. When axons are induced to turn toward a cell or away from a substrate border, APC is present in the protruding and absent from the collapsing growth cone regions, thus indicating the future growth direction of the axon. To assess the functional role of the differential distribution of APC in navigating growth cones, the protein was inactivated via micro-scale chromophore-assisted laser inactivation in one half of the growth cone. If the N-terminal APC region (crucial for its oligomerization) is locally inactivated, the treated growth cone side collapses and the axon turns away. In contrast, if the 20 aa repeats in the middle region of APC (which can negatively regulate its microtubule association) are inactivated, protrusions are formed and the growth cone turns toward. Our data thus demonstrate a crucial role of APC for axon steering attributable to its multifunctional domain structure and differential distribution in the growth cone.

So you could see what happens with a single record if you either remove the keywords entirely, or edit as I suggest.
Zotero does work around the keyword issue. The reason it exists is most likely not malicious, but from long-standing limitations of their export framework (that probably don't really impact other formats):
https://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev/msg/079cb3b86bc60bcc?dmode=source
And yes, the buggy RIS seems like a "feature" to me, too.
I've worked on the translator some and can get back to saving a real entry; to try it, go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/RIS.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).
With this version, the entry saves correctly, but I the import tells me it has failed, with the error:
(1)(+0000000): Invalid item type undefined(3)(+0000000): Translate: Discarded field url for item: field not valid for type undefined
(1)(+0000000): Invalid item type false
(2)(+0000002): Translate: Translation using RIS failed:
thrown exception => Invalid item type 'false' in ItemFields.getFieldIDFromTypeAndBase()
url => /home/ajlyon/Desktop/ris-in
downloadAssociatedFiles => true
automaticSnapshots => true
This is very odd. I first thought that this was happening because I was using the multilingual branch, but now I'm using a fresh, vanilla install of Zotero 2.1.1.
As I said, this error occurs after the imported entry has saved, so the new item is in the database, Zotero just doesn't create a collection for the import, and the item is therefore not filed away. If anyone can reproduce this or fail to reproduce this with other setups (Firefox versions, operating systems), please let me know.
