Yes, that is a solution I was thinking about also as a last resort, but I thought there might be a simpler way.
-
I know this function, but it brings only a part of the collection into my view. Even if I expand the area for the library collection as much as possible to the right, the rest of the collections remains below and outside the browser window and does …
-
Ok, I noticed that dragging worked, too. Copying and deleting is not necessary. BTW I have simplified and accelerated the process of moving C-level collections by renaming the B-level Collection from BX to 1BX so it appears alphabetically as the f…

Yes I have my files on my own cloud via webdav. So it has nothing to do with the database?
-
Thanks for the advice. I had left it alone for several hours. Now I checked your reply and then Zotero - the frozen state had melted again and everything worked as usual. But good to know for the future that killing it won't ruin anything irreversib…

Yesterday I checked on my other desktop in another place and there was nothing entered in the "Linked Attachment Base Directory" either. So the entry in the other machine definitely is only a dead remnant of an old version
-
Sorry, I was blind, just noticed it myself also. I have the data elsewhere also as backup, in case they were lost.
-
Thank You very much for your quick reply. The custom data directory is what I have always used before according to my habits, it has the same structure on all my machines, that's the only reason. So I leave the "Links Attachment Base Directory Empty…

Thanks, worked. No idea, what removed it from there....
-
Files appearing in the webdav-server space!!!! Great!!! Now problem seems to be really solved finally.
-
No syncing over night, no files in the webdav space. Green circle stands, red flag. Error message: ================== The creator name “xyz…” in one of your items is too long to sync. Shorten the field and sync again. If you receive this message r…

@dstillman Thanks for the very probable problem solution! I know this error message, it has been present also in my last installation, too, but I didn't think it inhibited syncing - I just thought that these notes will not be synced, that's all. …
-
@bwiernik - this is a misunderstanding. I do not WANT to have two nested folders. It just results from what the system gives me. I have space at a commercial provider which supports Nextcloud ( www.nextcloud.com ) . I have installed a Nextcloud inst…
-
@ dstillman your comment came at the same moment as I sent mine. The reason why I try to have the /zotero subdir is that I don't want to have the home dir of this account clogged with the many subdirs of Zotero attachments. That was the way I had it…
-
No solution so far. What I have tried without success: In my Nextcloud server I had activated server side encryption. I thought this might be a problem and have reinstalled the server without encryption. Webdav-URL of the account with name "zotero…
-
Thanks for the input. The URL of my webdav-server contains the word zotero at the end, because I created the account with the name zotero. Within this account there is a subdir zotero, which should contain my data. That was the way it has been befo…
-
1. after many many many tries it now worked after making a reset of the syncing for the upload of the local files to the changed webdav server address. Great! 2. the changes were e..g. ......./webdavdav/zotero instead of webdav or just ...../web/zo…
-
That will work, I presume, but it would need an extra work step and probably better planning of the tags than the visible names of collections
-
That still needs the beginning of the collection name and works also now with the blank between the words. I would like to search e.g. for "Kingdom" and retrieve every colletcion containing this word, e.g. "United Kingdom". I was sort of expecting t…
-
Tried it out, did not work.
-
That turns out to be a larger drawback more and more the bigger the number of collections grows. Many of them have two separated words as their name and I cannot recall everything any more by heart. So I was relying on the search mechanisms to find …
-
Thank You! I will see whether I can make it....
-
Do I understand correctly that at the moment still there is no way to have v5 on a Raspberry Pi which can sync files with a WEBDAV server and the Zotero database under Raspbian? I just tried out the v4 Zotero which came with the latest Raspbian an…
-
Thank You for this suggestion. Fortunately this time the accident happened at the beginning of a project and it can be restarted with little loss of time at this moment. But sometimes before I experience larger losses of dir structure although the e…
-
I have done the reconstruction one by one. I got the impression that transferring an entry from the search results to a collection is impossible, if the identical entry is already existing at the target collection.
-
Thanks again! I searched for the entries made yesterday and they all showed up. I highlighted all of them and tried to copy/move them to a new collection-directory, but that was not possible. I saved the results, they appeared in the library. Again …
-
Thanks for the answer. I could not find my lost collections, but when searching from "My Library" for entries added today I can find a lot of the entries. When pressing ctrl to get the info, in which collection the entry is located, there is no pla…
-
Thanks for a suggestion how to solve the problem. I was able to solve the problem. I startet my laptop, also with Win 10. Zotero 5.0.33 worked there and Firefox 57.02 worked also. So I was relieved that the Zotero data were not decoomposed. Back to …
-
Thank You, works.
-
Great relief! Worst case scenario did not happen.... Being an informed optimist, everything pretends at least to be running and up. Yes, I found a Zotero profile directory on my system/program drive C: with a zotero.sqlite file also from today but t…
