@bwiernik that's great news!!! It's going to be a massive time/stress saver. Thanks!

Hey @bphillips79 it is a real bummer. I wish they were able to implement an undelete of a collection. I too end up using the unfiled items, but what a nightmare. Hope they can figure out a way to do it.

@dstillman now that I know what to look for on my next round of adding citations I'll turn on debugging and try to replicate. Will be back in touch.

@emilianoeheyns a plugin would be an excellent idea! @dstillman for the first time I actually witness the move happening. It just happened. It's quick. I had a new collection highlighted (as you know one is always highlighted so I don't think it ma…

OMG @dstillman thanks so much for the "option" key tip, that's a big help. So today after I responded to @AucMgris post I had a heavy Zotero day going through my emails and adding articles to my collection. I had several collections move into other …

Hi @AucMGris: I am the other user that has been working with @dstillman to sort out this problem. I've been having the exact same issue and can report that it too seems to happen with collections I have been recently interacting with. Although, the …

@dstillman Ok got it! Good to know that I am a crazy person with the number of collections I have ;) (you should see my DropBox!) Also, thanks for acknowledging the find-as-you-type is not ideal. I don't do much interaction with other tree views so…

Got it. So this "Production" collection is under Insurance as it's a subcollection for production insurance. It is not the missing "PRODUCTION" collection. The "ELECTIONS (1) and (2)" seem to be the missing "ELECTIONS" collection. But neither have…

Hi @dstillman thanks the additional details on what you see on your end. I think we may be zeroing in on something here. Please follow this link for screen caps of my Zotero library: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9vddg49wu2fynkc/BRENT STAFFORD ZOTERO CA…

Nope. The DropBox app, like the Zotero app is installed on the System Drive for each computer. But DropBox data never resides on the same drive as Zotero Library in any of my setups. Let me ask, is there a problem with having the Zotero library on a…

That's a good point @adamsmith. Note though when I google missing collections Zotero there are most certainly other people reporting missing collections. Some of the same advice re: backups etc... Dan has given me over the past year are also in resp…

Hi @dstillman thanks for the quick response. 1. yes, I am now absolutely certain there has been no accidental deletion or accidental moving of one collection into another. Yes, thanks to your help over the past year I have worked through that and …

Hi dstillman, excellent to hear that "there can be keyboard input before the collection-name prompt appears is certainly a bug" wound its way to view and is slated for a fix. That's awesome you found that. I think the keyboard input issue is certai…

Hey dstillman, thanks for the reply. I believe you had helped me 9-10 months ago when the problem first cropped up. The automatic backups didn't do the trick. But as mentioned above, so far I've been lucky to find the missing collections on my lapto…

Hi there, I've been using Zotero heavily for the past 4-years and it is just in the last 12-months that I've had the problem of missing collections. This has happened numerous times in the last year. But never before. It seems that something has cha…

Hey thanks man, so much for the quick response!! In it you state: I could not find two instances of "Elections" in the Online Library or in the My Library in my client. I was not able to use your tip to < press + on your keyboard to expand a…

Opps, apologies it was my "Elections" top-level that disappeared and I saved it by dragging the sub-collections into "Education"
