Zotero is still fine. The actual button stops working: the drop-down menu just disappears and nothing happens when clicking the button. When I manually try to add an engine, I get an empty drop-down menu, and an empty 'Manage Lookup Enginess' wind…

Not sure if this problem has somehow been resolved, other than turning off pCloud folder sync? I have the same problem: pCloud allows you to sync local folders into its cloud storage. It seems to scan for changes to the file content and does seem no…

I concur with viussi. Are there any clear plans to implement this functionality *in the near future*? This is a problem that users have mentioned since at least 2010 (!!), so it is about time that this gets addressed. It is still way too easy to ac…

Exactly the same issue with 8 PDF files. Debug ID: D1187084170

Here is the debug ID for an operation with 2 PDF files: D1118246411 Same problem: - New Item | Link to file... | select two PDF files - First file is correctly added - Second file does not appear - Other operations are blocked. For instance, right…

Just local hard drive with a single partition with 430GB of free space. My hard disk is automatically backed up to an external RAID system, but the error had already percolated through the system. However, I discovered a file named: zotero__Mar-13…

The base directory is 'D:\Articles' and the custom data directory 'D:\Articles\ZOTERO'. This has worked for many years. I did not change anything to the setup, just let Zotero run its automatic update. Show Data Directory: Aha, strange things are h…

Are there any new plans to simply implement an undo function, or an undelete function for folders? It is not really logical that deleted references go into Trash, but an entire folder is deleted without any straightforward way to restore it.

Zotero 5.0.47 on Win 10 Pro or Win 10 Home. No plugins installed. In 'Preferences|File Handling', everything is turned on except for 'Automatically retrieve metadata for PDFs' I am trying to add links to a number of PDF files: - Open Zotero - New I…

- How old is computer? - 2015, so not that terribly old. Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD at 5400rpm. Not the fastest hard disk, but it does work with Adobe Premiere, so I hope it's reasonable to assume Zotero shouldn't be a problem. - CPU and HD lo…

This one was with all plugins disabled. Debug ID: D1442592439 Description: - Started computer - Started Zotero - Window appears at +1 minute, with collections pane (left) visible, but items still loading in center pane; "Not responding) - Zotero fu…

Debug ID: D1196347691 What happened: - Started computer - Started Zotero; Instance of Zotero visible in Process Explorer, but no visible Window - Start other programs; they start up fine - Visible empty window around +2 minutes; "Not responding" - …

Version: 4.0.29.17 I've turned on the debugger, but it happens rather unpredictably, so it might take a while.
-
A simple undo function would be a lot more convenient, though. I've lost hour trying to recover accidentally deleted collections...
-
A variant to Adam's suggestion (which I found online, but somehow can't find anymore): - Turn off automatic sync and close Zotero - Find out where your zotero.sqlite file is stored and rename it, for instance to zotero.sqlite_old. - Rename zotero.s…

Are there any plans to add the option to undo deleting collections? This seems to be a problem that occurs very often and can create quite a bit of havoc, especially when you use collections to organize large amounts of information. (I'm speak…
-
Same problem here. The link to java.com from Zotero does not work. I first installed the 64-bit version of Java SE from Oracle and then the 32-bit version from Java.com. The former did not work, the latter did.
-
Hi Dan, Done and done. A restart restores everything to normal, without any data loss. The integrity check didn't find any errors. Security software: only MS Security Essentials. Presumably any security extensions in Firefox woul…

First try: Short lag (2~5 sec) when switching from small subcollection to My Library: D157167215 5+ second lag with 'Zotero (Not responding)' title bar: D892625276 Let me know if you need more/better.
-
I cleaned up all Endnote imports, so that shouldn't be the problem. When the program hangs, I often get 'XULRunner stopped working correctly' errors. Firefox is sometimes similarly laggy. Is that in any way useful?
-
Hi Adam, You're right. Total item count with all attachments: 16636. Part of the library has been imported from Endnote and BibTeX files. Cheers, Rik
-
A late follow up. I have a library of around 10k items. Searching and switching back from any of the subcollections to the main collection has become disruptively slow and often hangs. System: 64b Win7 with 4GB RAM. 1) Is there anything I …
-
Hi Adam & Dan, The exact behaviour does not seem predictable. Sometimes everything is fine; sometimes Zotero just hangs for some while; sometimes it freezes completely, I get a 'XULRunner is not responding message' and I have to force close…
-
I have the same problem: when I try to delete a tag in the pane on the left, or try to change its name, Zotero sometimes hangs for a couple of seconds. For example: - deleting a tag: approx 11 seconds; debug ID D1591750182 - changing a tag'…
-
Hi Dan, Ah, ouch, I was wrong. The error message is actually: "An error has occurred. Please restart Firefox." Sorry about that. R

Hi guys, I've got some similar speed issues. I'm running Zotero 2.1.8 in Firefox 4 on Windows 7. My database only has around 2000 entries, many of them with one or more attachments. I already turned of sync and auto-index, as someone suggested in so…
-
I'm probably a bit late with my two cents, but I also agree that an easy way to toggle between between multiple libraries is a must. I know, you could use multiple profiles, or switch between databases in 'Preferences>Advanced', but those are all…
-
Hi arggem, Thanks for the link to the indexing solution. Set everything in the Indexing tab to 0 and PDFs are running very smoothly now. And I should have read Dan Stillman's comments more carefully. But I also wanted to point out that these probl…
-
Hi guys, There are probably other threads that similar to this one, but I'd like to reopen this issue, because it appears fairly general. I'm using version 2.1.6 at the moment (Win 7, Firefox 4.0.1) and Zotero is still very very very slow on my com…

Hi Dan, I disabled autosync a long time ago, because, as you say, syncing takes to long when you have a large library.
