One being much larger? Which?
-
The "it" was the trash. I've since emptied it. zotero.sqlite is now 109 MB after emptying the trash (again). Still very big - if you consider a 60 MB upload prohibitive, as your remarks above suggest. If 60 MB will require literally months to fi…

I emptied the trash, and now it has 25153 items in it again. In any case, zotero.sqlite is currently 178 MB. Am I pushing this beyond supported limits? Perhaps I should go back to EndNote. I really prefer some functionality in Zotero, but …

Yes, sorry, collections. They have not synced yet, in any case. On the online library, there are: JKR EndNote Lib__A JKR EndNote LibB JKR EndNote LibC JKR EndNote LibD JKR EndNote LibE JKR EndNote LibF Trash On my laptop, there …

Actually, I now see 8889 items in the Library on the web site, which is most (but perhaps not all) of the items on my laptop (it shows 11103 items when I select all - but perhaps the discrepancy stems from counting sub-items in one environment by on…

The computer that was doing the reset crashed (due to an unrelated problem), apparently before the process was completed. The web site shows no change. I can't see whether the process is queued or aborted. Should I start it again (from the other …

thanks again
-
Dan, yes, please kill the queued upload. Will keep auto-sync off until I know all is clear. Anything I can do to help? Would it help to transfer the zotero.sqlite file? Thanks for your help.
-
Well - not the whole mess at once - Zotero couldn't complete that. I ended up discarding batches of ~500. Need a stress test case?
-
Yeah, didn't think of the key until after I posted. Found it, and now am deleting the whole mess at once. Thanks a lot.
-
ok, thanks, I seem to be underway (having restored from the saved files). fwiw, it is "delete", not "backspace" that works on a PC. Confusion forgivable - on a Mac it is even worse - what the PC thinks of as backspace is marked "Delete", what the …

I have a copy of everything under Zotero. What do you recommend?
-
New - trouble. Exasperated with trying unsuccessfully to empty trash, I exported the 28 collections I had - everything except the trash. Then I removed and reinstalled Zotero standalone. Each collection is pretty large, and I get: A script …
-
I tried backspace, I tried delete, I tried Ctrl-backspace, Alt-backspace, Ctrl-delete and Alt-delete. Nothing happens.
-
I'm using standalone, on Win 7, if that matters.
-
Meaning I tried it, and nothing happened.
-
Tried that, no effect. Checked database integrity - came back clean. Not sure what to try next.
-
Okay, making progress. First I cleaned up the library on the desktop, removing duplicates (not the ones resulting from double imports - ones that were already present in EndNote). I've done this with automatic syncing off. Next, I've synced to se…
-
Adam, Thanks for the quick response. Sorry, somehow I saw only part of your earlier response. Will clean up the laptop and start over. Jim
-
When I look at Zotero as a Firefox extension, it sees only what is on the local computer - makes sense, but not consistent with the complaints about resolving conflicts. Ultimately, I can import everything locally on the 2nd computer, but I am conc…
-
Correct - does not consistently get stuck at any particular point. I have turned of sync, fwiw. It may be that what I need is less coffee and more patience. I've gotten farther today than I had before - importing N at the moment. Largest piece s…

Is there a size limitation I should be aware of? I have been trying to migrate from EndNote. I use RefMan format to export from EndNote, import to Zotero using Import. My EndNote library has > 30,000 references (and handles them quickly). I…
