ps: It affects Mac and PC (XP and 8.1) equally, latest version of Firefox and Zotero both.
-
PS: I want to add that in my case, the files don't seem to be advertisements (I use AdBlock). It still looks like junk, but it came from Wikipedia. I see a URL at the top of each, pointing to http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitio…

May I ask if there has been any progress with this issue? I have encountered long path errors a few times when copying my directory between Mac and PC, but just now it cropped up when I made a simple duplicate of my Main Library in the same Zotero …
-
I think that did it! The dates are all correct, and I'm back on 4.0.8; just to be clear, you're saying sync should work normally now? Thanks again for all the help. I really appreciate it.
-
Ok, I'll try again, thank you. At least I haven't used it, past the reset.
-
Currently, 4.1a1.r11246 Previously, the latest 4.0 stable release. I haven't reverted yet; my second attempt gave the same result.
-
I'm afraid it hasn't worked. Allowing for those records that I updated today on the other machine, the total number affected is about the same as in the previous attempts. Still no lasting harm done, for which I am grateful. I may try it a second…
-
Ok, I followed your instructions, but it has happened again, in the same fashion. I guess it's a bug, then? I started sync, and left the house for 3 hours. When I got back, Firefox was not responding: the Zotero tab was greyed out and the cursor…
-
Update: Restore from Server (on the new PC) did not restore the proper Date Modified data. I won't try anything else before I hear from you. Just to repeat, I have a working Mac with the correct info, and a complete backup as well. You can erase…
-
On the bright side, things were working so perfectly for so long, I kind of forgot how this all works!
-
Thanks very much. I really appreciate the help, and I'll try your suggestion in the morning. In the meantime, several of those things are true. The new machine was empty, but I had first tried to move the library over via USB, ironically to s…
-
Those are great instructions--really clear. Thank you. I made a mistake in the settings, and it looks like the storage folder is populating normally now.
-
You could try to test it on an empty Firefox profile?
-
Again, I think we understand each other. I don't know what lists have to do with Windows, though! Thanks for listening.
-
I see where you're coming from, and I'm satisfied that you see my side of things. I didn't mean to divert the entire discussion to a secondary justification for additional (and hopefully customizable) fields, but the reading list is only one exampl…
-
I see what you mean, but I'm sure you'll agree that preference is subjective? But please help me with your suggestion: I can't imagine how you could sort a hypothetical reading list on-screen using two tags, "read" and "unread."
-
That's all very helpful. @5. Without boring you to tears: since these fields are also the list sorting options in the main library window, there is a lot you can do with them beyond citation. For example, project organization: I have notice…
-
Thank you, Adam. 1. Darn. 3. Where can I learn more about how to locate and edit these files? I'm having trouble finding this information (note--you just answered this in another forum--thanks). 4. Adding it to the year actually doesn't…
-
I've only been using Zotero for about 3 days, so no worries: it's me, not you. I believe Endnote has this choice as a simple checkbox, so I misread the word "switch." I'm grateful for the help. I will try to do what you suggest, but what file am…
-
This is the reason I adopted Endnote in the first place, by the way: footnotes are a lot of work. Something that saves me having to think about and slave over them is a killer app. What you describe seems like the right track. Are you famili…
-
Honestly, no. Your use of the word "overload" concerns me. Perhaps we're not writing the same kinds of things, but when you're working on a book or article with dozens or even hundreds of footnotes, no. I don't see this as an extravagance, but so…
-
Let's just say "one would still need...." It will be a while yet before I am ready to try it.
-
Please do implement this switch. (Or has it already been implemented?) I am not a fan of ibid: I prefer to use last name with short title (if needed), in the interest of greater clarity for the reader. Thank you
-
I was just going to ask for the same feature. I often cite the same sources over and over. Would it be feasible for it to remember the last reference used? Thank you.
-
I am also having this problem. Importing their records from the clipboard doesn't work, either. Please note that this is one of the most important libraries in the world for historians. Thank you!
-
Thank you-- I found it in the spam, and whatever was happening, changing the password seems to have done the trick. If you're curious, my original password was only 6 characters long, including 1 number, and no caps or symbols. (I added some extra…
-
And weirdly enough, the website won't let me change my password, either (it is saying "Incorrect password"). I also pretended to have forgotten it (from the preferences pane), but the system's not sending me replacement instructions. This doesn't …
-
A friend of mine suggests that my tags might be too long, but says that was supposed to have been fixed by now?
-
Thanks for getting back so quickly. I have done so several times, and did so again just now. It just doesn't work. As you can see, I'm able to log in here--that's the same password, correct? I'm using my username, not the full email address.
-
yes, i tried that. the error shows the pop-up message "invalid login/pass." i also tried to log the session, but it doesn't say very much more: zotero(3): Session ID not available -- logging in zotero(3): HTTP POST version=5&user…
