It's not going to improve, no. Mendeley Desktop isn't being developed anymore, and we have no way of getting data out of an encrypted database. But just export a single item and see if a file path is included in the export (e.g., in an L1 field for…

@smteinturs: And you're at your Zotero Storage quota, so additional files wouldn't be syncing. Zotero would be showing a warning about that in the toolbar on every sync.
-
OK, so that file exists online.
-
You have to actually sync while it's logging. Click the Sync button in the toolbar.
-
You just have to follow the step for when the file hasn't been uploaded.

HTTP GET https://[…]/remote.php/dav/files/[…]/zotero/RNKP5N7Q.prop succeeded with 404 The file you're trying to download doesn't exist on the WebDAV server.

Make sure the document preferences or citation dialog isn't just appearing behind your other windows. That's the most likely thing here. If you're sure it's not that, we would want a Debug ID for reproducing this after restarting Zotero.
-
Your debug output doesn't show a sync attempt.
-
We'd want an example ISBN and a Debug ID for an Add Item by Identifier attempt that fails.
-
Selecting the attachments is only necessary for dragging. You can just use File → Export PDFs with the parent items selected. Export Items is for exporting metadata.
-
Tab groups are planned.

Can you reproduce this after restarting Safari and/or your computer?
-
Can you provide a Debug ID from Zotero for reloading the page in Safari and reproducing this?
-
This used to be possible many years ago when Zotero was entirely a Firefox extension, but it isn't possible currently for technical reasons. (The extension doesn't know in real time what item you have selected in Zotero in order to show a reliable o…

disk I/O error This is a generic storage I/O error. We can't tell you specifically what the problem is, but the most common cause is having your Zotero data directory on a network filesystem or in a cloud storage folder (where it should never be). I…

(7.0.16 won't currently auto-update, but you can just reinstall from the download page. Your data won't be affected.)
-
You can't — that's the point. You can export to RIS or BibTeX, which might include links to files in a format we support (you can test with a single item), but as we explain, that's not a full export: Direct access to the Mendeley database is the o…

Ovid/Psycinfo generate invalid editor data in exported RIS, and have for years. See this comment for an explanation of why our options to fix it aren't great, and see the following comment for a link to code I've provided to correct the problem in b…

OK, try now.
-
Provide a link to a PDF where you're seeing this.
-
You should be able to restore to either zotero.sqlite.bak or zotero.sqlite.1.bak. Follow the instructions in Restoring from the Last Automatic Backup carefully. You should make sure you've made backup copies of both of those 41 MB .bak files before…

https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item An item can be in any number of collections, so a column doesn't make sense.
-
(If you're talking about Advanced Search, double-click on an item to select it in the library view, and you can then check the item pane or use the modifier key mentioned on that page. If checking multiple items in the item pane, you can temporarily…

We're just talking about the links between existing citations in documents creating using the word processor plugins and the items in the library. You can continue to use the citations in the document, and add more instances of them, but they won't …
-
A future version will make it possible to relink citations to items in a different library, but for the time being, those citations would just be stored in the document, and while you could insert other instances of them from the Cited section of th…
-
You search for notes based on note content, not metadata. That's why you're not seeing the items. It shows you the selected note in the library window or, if no note is selected, notes in reverse chronological order by date modified, so the idea is …
-
The only way to get duplicates is by exporting and importing. Again, you did that (at least) in February. As I say, that can include exporting/importing and syncing on different computers (e.g., importing a previous export but later syncing the orig…
-
Nothing to do with malware. Can you provide some examples of exactly what you're seeing? This is almost certainly some sort of misunderstanding.
-
A sync from a new, empty library would never delete existing data. Most likely you ran Replace Online Library from the Sync settings, which people sometimes do by mistake. Setting up a new computer simply involves entering your sync credentials and …
