import from bibdesk
In order to import from Bibdesk into Z standalone, I first exported by Bibdesk databases to Bibtex format. Then I imported into Z. But I discovered that two fields were not properly imported: Pages for journals, and Publisher for books. I added two lines to the BibTeX.js translator:
71 pages:"pages",
72 publisher:"publisher",
Now it works. I have the same problem if I export from Bibdesk to RIS format. But I don't know how to fix the RIS translator.

I am trying to import a bibdesk database into Zotero standalone, and almost immediately I get a Java S warning. I can only import a few titles, not the 4,000 plus I need to import.

What could it be? Any help appreciated.
