Did anything happen here? I get a 'could not be installed' error message and there is no more 'scannable cite' in my citations... UPDATE - my bad. Not sure what happened here, but the beta version for Zotero 5 re-installed just fine now. UPDATE 2 - …
-
Sorry for not splitting it off immediately. And Dan - I have activated debug and reopened Zotero (which is fairly snappy now - definitely better than before), and now it synced and the red error exclamation point has disappeared. But if it comes bac…

Report ID 752472188: "An error occurred during syncing: Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIZipWriter.open]"

Update - I just tried again with the same citation that caused the behavior yesterday, and I'm running into the same problem again (other cites do work). The other strange thing with that one is that also the arrow down to the left of the item in Zo…

Not sure what the deal was, but I'd just like to report that things are working properly again for me.

Windows 10 and Chrome/Firefox - I tried both

Ok, I've now installed Qnotero and am trying to make it work. But the documentation is, well, sparse :) It just tells you how to install it, but not how to use it. I have a fairly big (27 GB) Zotero library. I told the installation program where my …

Dan - I will do that tomorrow. Thanks for helping out...

Debug ID D489486227 might have been. I thought Zotero would restart automatically after I clicked on that. And then when it didn't, I reopened - but so then I had two instances running. But D1902467064 should have been done properly (I think)
-
And now I just got an "Error has occurred. Please restart Zotero" message. Error ID: 272361960. Latest debug ID is D1902467064.
-
The Debug ID is D489486227
-
Yes. And I enabled debug and restarted (Debug ID: D220797657). I think it took around 10' (am doing other stuff, so I can't tell for sure - but maybe the log will tell).
-
I'm just starting to work with Zotero again today - and yes I will provide a Debug ID. Right now I have the problem that it takes forever to start up. I first got this (https://www.screencast.com/t/fFsGWcQv4vR) for quite a while (let's say 30'?), an…

Great. Thanks! All of this is truly impressive work - many of us may not always emphasize it, but I am sure I speak for many, many users when I thank you and your team sincerely for your tireless efforts.
-
Thanks for that - that makes it a lot easier already. But so does that mean that it is not possible to also add a column for the date of the last change in a folder? So that we can immediately see the groups where recent changes have been made on to…
-
[BTW - I also made another feature request in the longer Zotero 5 beta thread. Can I just leave it there, or should I create a separate one?]
-
Ha! You are right. My bad. Yes, most of them were identical. Here's another one I just got - https://www.screencast.com/t/u5dx7wMNM. Here you go: error # 5950326

This is not a syncing problem Dan. My libraries synced fine; and Zotero also gave me the possibility to check the different versions and select one. My point merely is that it would be nice - since the interface presents the comparisons by library …
-
Frankly, I don't remember anymore. But yes, I might have - I HAVE done that in the past... The thing is that I guess more and more people have (much faster, but also smaller and more expensive) SSDs as their boot disks. And if, as in my case, your Z…
-
I made the jump. I'm still a bit worried about all of the plugins, but I am already benefiting from the new sync architecture. I love the selective sync option - but is there any way to sort those group libraries alphabetically? I have a whole bunch…
-
Ok - so when I look at the location in Firefox, it gives me: "The Zotero data directory could not be found. Previous directory: L:\Users\sdspi\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wltvmd0e.default\zotero. " In the new Standalone Zotero 5, it's C…
-
Update: it's showing me conflict resolution dialogue boxes - so I guess it IS working.
-
It is still working, but I already see some new group library in there that I had created online, but that had not shown up yet. So it must be pushing stuff to me. As to the folder - yes. I had a problem with an old boot drive not booting any more;…
-
Well, I'm not sure what happened, but it did finish now. And I had to copy the folder to another physical drive in that same computer, because the drive that has my home directory was close to full. But so I guess the migration finished successfull…
-
Ok. Such a recommendation, coming from such an authority, is not something one easily ignores :). So I went ahead, backed up the data directory (all 44 GBs of it - took a few hours to copy it to another drive), installed the standalone version of Zo…
-
Dan, thanks for replying. I was gone for a few hours and have now returned. This was the first time trying to sync from the standalone - I usually work with the firefox version. But it stopped running and has a read exclamation point now with 'empty…
-
Wow! Thanks for that insight, Sebastian! I was not aware of that, but am diving into it right now...
-
Thanks Brenton. And sure, I understand my case is atypical. But even on 20 libraries, I'm sure you've run into similar problems. It's just that this seems like such a relatively easy functionality to add. And - incidentally - especially also on the …
-
Is any progress being made on this? Is it in the pipeline? Are there any work-arounds? For those of us who do collaborative research - and I would sincerely hope that is more and more of us - such functionality would save us SO much time. I have o…

Thanks - ands yes, I did see that. But since I am not a developer, I have no idea what needs to be done do to get the plugin in a format that CAN be uploaded
