I also agree with debhurn and tare2, just wanted to enter this as a question. Yes, one can look up the file name in the right column, but why should one be forced to do so, if the bug was what one lived with perfectly. Would it be possible to rathe…

Thanks - worked!
-
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 …
