  • OK, I edited my sqlite file, removing all tags (there were over 15,000 of them - not sure if this is an excessive number?). Doing this completely removed all my delay issues. It opens very fast (~5 seconds for my 6,500 items), and there is no notic…
  • Hmmm. executeJS seems to be a firefox add-on? Firefox doesn't work on my system (for some reason), so that is out. It also looks a bit daunting, judging from the javascript api site you pointed me to. What are your worries about editing sqli…
  • Wow! Closing the tag selector completely eliminated the delays switching between collections. It also dramatically reduced the initial loading time when I start up Zotero. Wonderful! I tried the dbfix, but it didn't fix the delay problem whe…
  • Yes, I'm using Zotero standalone
  • Update: I think my delays correspond to the loading of the tags. I have My Library, a collection (call this "my collection") under this, and a single group library (under "group libraries"). When I click between these (in the lefthand column), I …
  • I still have long delays opening (~30-40 seconds), which sounds much longer than others (with about the same number of items: ~6500). Also (and more annoyingly), when I select an item to put it in on of my collections, I get the spinning wheel of d…
  • I just discovered that I only get this error when the following is selected: "Sync attachment files in My Library..." under "File Syncing" (in the "sync" tab of the preferences) When this is NOT selected, then the "Could not open system libra…
  • Any thoughts on how to fix it? Remove it?
  • The little red exclamation point is always there, and gives that error when I press on it. The only issue I have is slow response time (that seems slower than others who have posted here with ~6000 items).
  • Thanks for all your help. After removing the extra notes (both “_RIS import” tagged ones and the ones that Endnote mysteriously decided to add), the library works very fast (minor delay when entering some name to search for, but not bad). It still…
  • Looking at the endnote entry for that, I do see a field for "notes" that has that info in it. That particular entry I know was an auto import from an online database. So this looks like something Endnote is doing when importing? And zotero is jus…
  • Here is the text from the RIS export file from endnote for that Butti entry above: TY - JOUR AB - Von Economo neurons (VENs) are a type of large, layer V spindle-shaped neurons that were previously described in humans, great apes, elephants…
  • Also: it takes ~40 seconds for zotero to startup (even after removing so many notes). Is this normal?
  • OK, got the RIS import tag to work, and I trashed (and emptied the trash) of the RIS import notes. Things have gotten noticeably faster (though it still takes ~30 seconds to load after startup). I now have 11080 total items including attachme…
  • also, I notice that a number of my entries have notes that don't have any tags, but simply have parts of the entry, e.g.: Butti, Camilla Sherwood, Chet C Hakeem, Atiya Y Allman, John M Hof, Patrick R Comparative Study Research Suppo…
  • OK, I see "_RIS import", but there is no way to "click" the "_RIS import" tag... I can enter "_RIS import" into the search box below, and all the other tags disappear. But now what? I can't select the remaining "_RIS import" tag. How is this done? …
  • I see this: "Tip: You can display all of the notes generated automatically during the import using the “_RIS import” tag. To select and delete these notes after clicking the “_RIS import” tag..." however I don't understand these instructio…
  • I get similar delays using the "title, creator, year" search option.
  • OK, I have 15589 for all items including attachments. I have 6410 entries. Looks like most of the entries have notes attached (which is making the total higher than the entries). But they are just notes, most with only a few lines of text (a lot …
