  • Okay, I give up trying to find the zotero.sqlite file with the last 2 weeks of work. So I go to the Zotero backup folder, where the file from 2 weeks ago should be, and there it is, "zotero.sqlite" at 25.9 MB, which seems about right. I re-set Zote…
  • Thank you, adamsmith. Good to know. Turns out that the questioned filed was an old import attempt from May 4. Any idea where else Zotero could have been storing the last 2 weeks of entries? Thanks again, --Ron
  • Indeed. Thank you for helping me find /Users/rh/Zotero/zotero.sqlite, although this is not the file that disappeared. /Users/rh/Zotero/zotero.sqlite appears to have been my first attempt to import an EndNote file. It had thousands of tags that made…
  • Good to know. Thanks. These files came up: /Users/rh/Desktop/SOFDH Library/zotero.sqlite /Users/rh/Desktop/SOFDH Library/zotero.sqlite.bak /Users/rh/Zotero/zotero.sqlite /Users/rh/Zotero/zotero.sqlite.1.bak /Users/rh/Zotero/zotero.sqlite.bak /Users/…
  • Where would it be in standalone Zotero 5.0.47? Thanks, --Ron
  • Oops, wrong key. That was dumb. Okay, I found the Library directory. Searched around in it. Under Application Support is Zotero,/Profiles/x65maee6.default, but nothing in there is large enough to be a data file. Where would the data be stored? Thank…
  • Sorry, I must be doing something wrong. I'm new to Macs. The note says: "Note: The /Users//Library folder is hidden by default. To access it, click on your desktop, hold down Option, and click the Finder's Go menu, and then select Library from the m…
  • Cannot find "Library" under "Users/:username:/," just "Zotero," and that folder has no Profile or Storage. There is a "Library" folder under Macintosh HD, But there is no Zotero, or Profile, or Storage under it. Where else could the files be? Thank…
  • Good thoughts. Thanks. Looking for /Users//Library/Application Support/Zotero/Profiles/, but Zotero does not appear in the Application Support directory. In fact, there is no Profile file associated with Zotero anywhere on the computer. I always hav…
  • That is correct. SOFDH Library is a custom data directory located on the Mac's desktop. SOFDH Library is the folder listed in Zotero as the data directory. The Mac is not linked to cloud storage, and the external drives were not plugged in during th…
  • The "restart" was the Mac's restart option. I enclosed it in quotation marks to differentiate it from my restarting the Mac after a power failure, for example. I restarted because I couldn't find a way to erase a notification that I had received a p…
  • Something failed. Still no carriage return/paragraph marks in the Zotero abstract fields. Here is the beginning of the XML file that EndNote exported. Is it really an XML file? If so, why does Zotero not interpret " " as carriage return? Should I r…
  • Wow. Thanks adamsmith. After all that struggle, resetting translators worked for importing the txt file. Wish I could try it on the xml file, but I'm not about to risk what I've got, unless it would solve the next problem: Any idea how to get the ab…
  • Debug IDs: D1871119228 for the txt import fail D1614461336 for the xml import fail. Thanks.
  • Just FYI, here's the start of the txt file, which also returned the "file not supported" message on the Mac. Again, I followed the directions to the letter. Interestingly, the txt file DOES import into a new Zotero standalone on the Windows 7 machin…
  • Yes. Thanks. This is the start of the XML file. FD BOOKS abstract-Converted.enlEndNote13720137206Wallace Collection (London England),A general guide to the Wallace Collection126 p..1958, 1976LondonPrinted for the Trustees by W. ClowesN1160 .A55 195…
  • Followed, to the letter, with ResMan export style. .data and .txt and .xml all on desktop. Neither .txt or .xml will import into Zotero. Same message each time: "The selected file is not in a supported format." What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
