Well, it's next week, and I tried syncing on one of the Macs. Initially I got an error, #55257679. Then, following the instructions, I ran a second sync manually. It seemed to work, but the 3-pane conflict-resolution window said there were 98 proble…

Thanks Dan. Sorry not to get back to you sooner. I'm not always in the office where the system is. BTW, how do you quote things the way you do? Here, I'll use [quote][/quote] tags until I learn a better way. [quote] The only errors I see in the deb…

Hi Dan, Your suggestion seemed to work with Zotero on one computer but not another. I reported the error from the second computer (594353875) and submitted a log (D392752936). In the meanwhile, I have a few suggestions and one question. 1. On the…

I tried using the WebDAV on Sakai, and it seems to work fine up to this point. In another post, I've reported that I've been unable to synchronize for some time. So this leads to a second, related question. As I understand it, Zotero synchronizes b…

I have the same problem. I restarted my computer and then FF, but the problem persisted. Then to get a clean record, I restarted FF w/ error logging turned on. Here's what happened: 1) Right-click on Trash and selecting Empty Trash brings up the wa…

Dan, A few things happen if I close the tag selector. (1) I still failing syncs. The exclamation point has become an almost permanent fixture. (2) I tried reopening the tags shortly after importing a new reference and got the message, "An error has …

"Disable auto-sync in the Sync pane of the Zotero preferences, and you can see whether this is the cause. If it is, the syncs are probably failing—indicated by an exclamation mark on the sync icon and an error in Report Errors under the gear menu—…

Thanks for the quick and complete response (on Sunday, even!). I've upgraded to 2.0b5, and hopefully this will fix the problem. I take it from your explanation that should this problem reoccur, clicking the reset button is the appropriate fix.

Hi Dan, From your phrase "at the moment" I surmise that this is on the list of future improvements. Is this correct? The reason I ask is that I get such messages frequently and was going to report the problem. (Generally, I do NOT manually initiat…

I am having the same problem (and worse). I probably should have checked here first, but I'll add another report with the "and worse" part. As for Sync Stopping, it's hard to know exactly when it happened. Things were breezing along fine w/ 3.6. Th…

Does anyone know how exactly how the toolbar determines which Zotero library to use? Zotero keeps its data in a Firefox profile, and for the sync 1.5 preview I am using separate "production" and "test" profiles. Since OO.o runs independently of Fire…
-
But if Zotero really does become acceptably fast with very large databases, then we will need to be able to merge multiple databases together. Just glance at the numerous discussions about using EndNote, and you will see that working with a single d…

Just to elaborate on Rintze's idea, it would be great if Zotero tried to digest as much of the RIS file as it can. If there are errors, Zotero should say something like, "Five records could not be imported. Please see the log at xxx" where xxx is a …
-
Rintze's idea is a good one. In addition, Zotero should give the record number and a few pieces of identifying information (e.g., first two lines). Sean, I'm not sure what you mean. All I get is the text I quoted in my earlier post. Is there some p…

I am trying to import bibliographic records from EndNote X. I export them using Refman (RIS) Export format to a txt file. Then I try importing them. With Zotero 1.0.9 I have no problem importing all 70 records. With Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview about 15%…

Regarding the 2nd suggestion, yes, duplicate works in part. The problem is that it includes all the information from the first reference. With a template, only selected fields would be copied and the others reset to a default. When an online source…

Nevermind. I read TFM and figured out the problem.

I can't see that the links Catlynnl mentions is the solution. It seems to be particular to SugarSync (a fee-based service) and runs outside Zotero. Apparently, SugarSync provides the synchronization software. I've been doing this kind of syncing fai…

That seems to work. Thanks.

Hi Dan, Here is the report ID: 1080349634. I will send the file directly to support. Marsh

Thanks Dan. As an update as to how I'm handling this, I installed Portable FF on my USB drive, and I'm going to try to integrate everything into this version of FF. Once I do, I'll then use it to replace the existing databases on all four machines.…
-
This is a big problem for me. I'm trying to combine Zotero files from four different computers. Once I have them combined, I'll try to synchronize the Zotero data directory, as Dan suggested on May 24. However, I can't do so until the files are comb…
-
Yeah, I didn't mean my post as a criticism, and I was sure that behind the scenes the Zotero developers were already addressing many of the issues. I just wanted to raise the issue in a more open forum, not only to voice it but also to encourage dis…

I know about the sql database. I've successfully accessed it using OpenOffice Base. Maybe that's the way to add some of the capabilities being discussed in the forum.
-
Maybe I don't know how to use Zotero properly yet. I'll have to look into it. Still, my initial impression is that Scribe is much easier to use than Zotero. For instance, when writing a note, how does one look up and insert other references and keyw…
-
How about keeping Scribe alive, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, and updating it to integrate more tightly with Zotero? A starting point would be making MySQL, rather than Filemaker the database. Next, synchronization instead of import/expo…

I hope you continue to support both Scribe and Zotero. I'm from the old Unix/Software Tools school: it's best to have different tools each of which does one thing well than to have a Swiss army knife that does lots of things, none particularly well.…
