I mean that Zotero completely closed down after the warning from Windows that it was not responding. This website https://www.abebooks.com/products/isbn/9781864030396?cm_sp=bdp-_-9781864030396-_-isbn10 caused it twice, the second time after I reop…

I have tried it on a couple of other pages. It behaves differently on each page. In neither does it offer a snapshot, so its not stalling, but in one it only collects a website link in addition to the Zotero entry and in the other the only data is t…

More information. I stumbled on the error log for the Firefox Connector. Its pasted below. JavaScript Error: "Script injection timed out" {file: "moz-extension://614c0255-1e4f-4de3-9cf2-af1feef10ff1/background.js" line: 260}] [JavaScript Error: …

Re Default path. Yes I copied it there, then checked Preferences>Advanced and it had found it. Re Snapshots. I will await upgrades with eagerness! All questions answered! Have a good day, whatever time zone you're in.
-
Whew! Scary but effective. All 5751 items back in view! Re instructions above, "If you then move that 'zotero' directory to C:\Users\\Zotero (being sure to capitalize it), when you start up Zotero it should pick up those files (and hopefully not g…

OK. This may take a while.... I'll get back to you with results either way. PS Thanks for many years of help!
-
Yes there are files in there including a sqlite file. Thinking it through I may have moved the Firefox Profile without moving the Zotero profile, so it may be the active one. Looking at the "Date Modified" on the folders the most recent is yesterda…
-
PS The error message closes the Standalone when it is itself closed, and when it is open it does not allow clicking on any of the menus in the Standalone. It just bongs! So no way to actually get to "Preferences".
-
I think the path is wrong. Its an old Firefox profile, and something unidentified is corrupted in it. But there is no sqlite file in the current new Firefox profile (created about a month ago) because (I assume) I changed it when I installed the new…

The security software is ESET. https://www.eset.com/au/ How do I check what that is doing?
-
It was working ok, but not understanding the upgrades, I first upgraded my Firefox for Windows version which of course changed the way that that works, and seems to have removed the Zotero sqlite file from the Firefox profile. Then I was working in…

Thank-you Phonologist, for keeping us up to date. You're talking about Standalone? I presume the rest of the instruction is => set intl.locale.matchOS to false, and set general.useragent.locale to en-GB?
-
:-) "...sort of ... assumed to be there" except by people like me. I don't use other databases much. Didn't know you could do it on file explorers either. I'm the sort of person they write "dummies" manuals for. If it were up to me, I'd add it to…
-
Thanks. I had a feeling it would be something simple. It would be useful if this was in the FAQ's or the Zotero 'basics' instructions. I can't believe how long I have been using Zotero without knowing that! Definitely makes it easier to move arou…
-
Yes yes! I would love someone to implement an indicator of related items! It would save me writing a note for every item which has a 'related' connection as I currently do to alert me to look there. Making the tab change colour after making an entry…
-
Thanks for that. Looks like I have the latest version installed anyway (Friday 29 June 2012) but its behaving a bit weirdly. Its not giving me the list of items in the history when I left click Home, and if I just click the Home button a very small …

I'd really like the ability to add a starred ranking system as a column option. I know this has been requested for several years but I cannot see recent progress on it. The ability to add additional columns such as "Extra" would also achieve this as…
-
Why? Laziness. I hardly ever open my web sync page.
-
I agree. It would be lovely to have tabs change colour when they have items added. I sometimes rush through adding tags if I'm on a roll with finding items to add. This means I skip adding tags to some entries. I end up making good by occasionally m…
-
Asking this from a position of ignorance about the inner workings of Zotero but couldn't you do it via creating a "save and quit" window on exit like Firefox has, but save to a backup location which is set in preferences?
-
After a number of restarts all seems up to date. The original errors (4 or 5) were accompanied by a red icon next to the sync circular arrow. At that stage I was not getting the upload / download progress meter, just the sync arrow turning. The mess…
-
Was able to successfully repair the database thanks. Will investigate the "Time Machine". Thanks for the helpful tip!
-
PS. Folder size not showing up is another annoying Windows Vista problem. The capacity to show folder size in Vista has been turned off. See this Windows Vista Forum http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/118967-folder-size.html
-
Thanks for that. I think I am so shaken up that I cannot think of such easy solutions. However, trying it showed that the Zotero Sqlite files had not been backed up though the storage files had. In fact I have found using Norton 360 to back up gener…

I just had the same problem as bdesc100. At the URL http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all?content=10.1080/03075070701685130 I get a journal icon, an empty translator box after clicking, and Zotero half hangs (the cursor gets the hourglass)…
-
Thanks. I have let our thoughtful librarian know. I will be very pleased when this is fixed!
-
Fantastic, That error is so irritating!
-
The shortcut key works as a work around, but leaves the copied citation with a hanging indent. Any advance on the problem?

Found the Mozilla Europe site, and installed the UK version, but then found the dictionary was still US, so found an Australian dictionary addon. Now I have a spell check that lets me have all the 'U's back in labour, colour etc, and allows me to g…
