The order of events went like this. After I sent the error logs, you posted a comment as to whether the affected zip files contained a PDF. I answered that some did and some did not. That lead me to perform a diagnostic test. First, I deleted the…

Whether the external changes and correction of the problem were a simple coincidence I do not know. If you say the operation could not make the change then I have to agree. All I do know is that the same Zotero reference now reads properly. The i…

Given the behavior of the software, I did some maintenance on my computer to make sure that root cause was not Zotero. I uninstalled the new version of Adobe Acrobat I had recently installed. I then used a registry maintenance software program to…

Some do and some do not. Most of the zip files contain xlsx, docx, txt files as supplemental to the parent record.

The first file is an image of the error log. Its states that the file is not a PDF file (correct!) https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u362607/3kypo0bjnu54uy3ylby9.png The second an image of the indexed record in the database https://…

PS. I opened Zotero in troubleshoot mode and the behavior persisted.
-
Ordinarily, a zip file indexed in the Zotero library had its own icon and if clicked on it opened in file explorer, as it should. Now the icon is for a PDF and if the file is opened, Zotero attempts to open it as a PDF. Nothing happens. If the fi…

Windows 11. I have looked at the file associations in Windows and the default app for a zip file is file explorer. Not sure how it is mapped to a PDF file in Zotero.
-
That is the version that I am using. Zotero is now treating the zip file as a PDF. I checked throughout my library. Older references that contained zip documents have now all be remapped as a PDF. So it seems a generic problem. The files are cle…

Thanks. I closed and restarted Zotero and the retraction scan found everything.
-
Seems like the error message and the log are telling two tales. But in any event, this explains the persistence of the error. I download or add preprints from Semantic Scholar following the process for that particular item. When I get the real p…

Yes. This error been appearing for quite a while. Does not seem to degrade overall functionality so I never thought of reporting it. I simply noted the error. But these kinds of errors may reflect a bad installation or maybe a dysfunctional libr…

I used the utility software to clean up any broken zotero related registry keys after I had deleted the folders. Then I reinstalled Z v7 with no problem. Like the 64-bit performance and the GUI looks clean. I will miss a couple of plug-ins but ma…
-
This much is clear. NO does not work. Not sure if it is a security issue, admin rights or something else but absolutely nothing happens. I have attempted to find and fix registry problems associated with Zotero using a utility software. The utili…
-
Thanks to you both. Managed to get the window to reappear and deleted both add-ons. The PMCID fetch works fine. Bottom line is that I attempted to install the Zotero folder import (v0.0.5) twice and both times I had the same result. The Github …

I concur that this seems to be a proxy issue. As I mentioned above I have contacted the NCSU library helpdesk but have not had much satisfaction. They of course suggested I change my browser or use a different reference manager, neither of which a…

Sorry for being imprecise in my language. The PubMed home page is accessed but does not accurately display fonts, buttons, boxes etc when linked via the proxy. Without the proxy it looks fine. The proxy works when linking to several other journal …
-
I have been doing a bit more debugging. I eliminated the proxy description from the connector. Now the PubMed page loads properly. If I add back the proxy description (the configured proxy is %h.prox.lib.ncsu.edu/%p) the page is not detected auto…

Thanks for the info. Did not know it was being deprecated. Too bad, much more useful than Google Scholar.

Just following up on this thread. Any updates for importing references from Microsoft Academic? They now link to PDF of papers (usually author copies) which is a great help. Here is an example link. https://academic.microsoft.com/paper/210198630…

D752515962 This article was brought down from the Journal Science. The download lead to Zotero going into a not responding state with every file action (eg when the science page was saved, when the PDF file was downloaded, when the PDF file was re…

D126961147 The operation hangs on pulling the page information from Pubmed. This particular operation pulled down just the abstract. Took about 6 seconds to write the record into Zotero. I deleted the record as well. And that took some time. …

Just a heads up for the Malware Bytes problem. I fixed the issue on my system by completely uninstalling Malware Bytes. Use the Malware Bytes Cleaner to perform the uninstall. I then went into the registry ( I use a registry editing tool called j…
-
Thanks and you are welcome. I found the link by running the machine in safe mode. When I started to look at my security software that is what came up. There is no solution in the settings in MalwareBytes. I even excluded the offending storage fo…
-
Problem isolated. After a fairly involved diagnosis, it did indeed come down to a piece of security software, but not my primary firewall, antivirus etc. I also make use of a program called MalwareBytes, a piece of software for preventing web ba…
-
The temp file/folder is not present. The process monitor I am using provides fairly extensive tracking and so far I have not noted another process especially a security program that is accessing the file.. But I could be missing something.
-
I have tried to run the software with all plugins disabled. No change. I have also gone further to diagnose what is going on. I have run a process monitor during the Zotero connector initiated download. You are spot on correct that the connector…
-
My local directory is not on a cloud device of any kind. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Zotero software a number of times. I have allowed it to use the default location and in those instances the sync process with the Zotero servers has w…

Appreciate the help....but dragging a dropping does not work either. I can only get a PDF in by attaching a file.
-
Thanks. Checked it out but not sure if it is the same issue. I have pretty much exhausted all Windows permission fixes. I even activated the elevated administrator user and installed zotero and zotero connector for that user. Using the elevated ad…
