Thanks for the quick response! And you're right. The functionality that I need is (still) there. I think I understand the source of my confusion. In the past, I would see in the Snapshot pane a link to a file with enough of the path visible to ide…

By resurrected, I mean that I created a new profile, having accidentally blown the old one away, and then linked that new profile to the folder containing the old storage folder. I did not think to check before I did that if there a was pre-existing…
-
No, I didn't think it did. But could it have lost track of them somehow? I'm thinking that in the course of the profile mess that I went through (i.e., caused), the zotero.sqlite file could have been deleted (by me) and then recreated (by Zotero whe…

The original file shows a hollow circle for these items. So, that's where things started to go wrong. In the original file, some items with snapshots show solid circles, and have local files, and others have open circles, and lack local files. So, s…

Hmm. I thought I was pretty careful about the export. But I'll go back and check.
-
Well, it calls itself a snapshot. Which was confusing. And it was supposed to be a snapshot. At least that's what I believed I was creating when I downloaded the item. So, I think that you must be right. Something must have happened in the export/…

Ok
-
Well, it certainly says "Snapshot". Mind if I send a screenshot to you? I can't paste it here.
-
Well, I was just about to edit my post. What claims to be a snapshot goes to the website rather than bringing up a local file. All my files are purely local btw. I'm not synching anything. But the problem I just identified above seems a different …
-
Something that I've just noticed. Some of my items have snapshots attached, but they don't have the blue dot that indicates an attachment. Am I missing something about when a blue dot should appear?
-
Thanks. Very helpful.
-
But is there a default mapping? I don't want to change the icons' significance. Just to know what they currently mean. Re empty circles, everything should be stored on my disk. So, I presume that an empty circle for me means that the attachment so…

I've given the solution a try, and it works well with journals. But a lot of my research involves the popular press, e.g., newspapers and magazines, which don't seem to have this capability. Is there a solution/work around for articles that they con…
-
I would find this capability massively useful. Asking the user would work for me.
-
Many thanks!
-
No problem. But how do I share the zotero.sqlite file if not via email?
-
Okay. Will do. Tks.
-
Okay, back to the original topic. I've replicated my duplicates problem. I have screenshots of the original collection I exported (which had no duplicates), the import of that collection (with duplicates) and the .rdf file (which shows duplicates). …
-
Your help is much appreciated. Re what I should have done for a new profile. Yup. Absolutely right. Sigh. I thought that I was specifying the location of the data file, not of the profile itself. Long days and nights contributed, but thoughtlessne…
-
No. I am not creating profile folders manually. I am using the Profile Manager. I created all three profiles using it. The only thing that I did differently this time it seems is that instead of specifying the the new profile should be created in Pr…
-
Okay. Well, now I have a real problem. I tried to create a new profile. I put it in a folder named Profiles that contained two older active profiles, each in its own folder. When I created the new profile, I chose the Profile folder as the location …

Collections. And this is exactly what I did: " If you export something from one library as Zotero RDF and import into an empty library, you're going to get what you exported." And I did get multiple collections. Unfortunately, I deleted them all, so…
-
I only exported once and only imported once. The original file doesn't have the duplicates. Only the, new, file to which I imported does. The idea was and is to create two libraries, because the original was getting unwieldy. I'm using two profiles …
-
Wow! Thanks for the super quick response. I'll give your solution a try.
-
I would also find it useful to be able to import several .rdf files at that same time.
-
I had the same problem. Exporting to a shorter path, and then importing from that path to the profile I wanted to transfer the subcollections to worked. It would be good if the error message could flag path length as a potential problem. Until I rea…
-
I'd find this useful, too.
-
I have the same need. Would be _massively_ helpful as I have large, complex libraries with many nested folders. Windows 10 user. Please!

Good to know that it's written. And fingers crossed that it gets rolled out soon. Now you know that there's an even greater need for it than may be perceived!
