At least you're within reach of finishing off manually, if it comes to that. Well done, enjoy a good night's sleep!
-
Ah, okay. All attachments are stored in weirdly titled folders, in the "storage" subdirectory, that's normal. Renaming the file renames the file inside its folder, not the folder itself. Have you checked duplicates since the merge? There is at leas…
-
One thought: are those items full attachments, or file links?
-
I don't follow. Hadn't been renamed how?
-
So it sounds like your major issues have been resolved? If so, that's very good news.
-
Removing the bibliography during drafting should speed things up significantly, yes. i have 90 items where the expected document is missing. for some reason, i can't find these items on either the external or the local drive.If you mean the attachme…

Just in case I'm drawn away, here is a link to the guidance notes on debugging broken documents: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#debugging_broken_documents
-
Yeah, it sounds weird. I can't think of any reason sync would cause it though.
-
Those sound like problems with the document itself, rather than the Zotero library. To confirm, open a fresh document, and try inserting the new and the old citation item into it. If that comes off smoothly, it's a document issue (and there are step…
-
What are the symptoms exactly?
-
To protect against another mishap, you can just open the profile directory (or wherever the Zotero data directory in your computer is at), moving up one level, and rename the directory "zotero" to something like "zotero-OLD." Then if the library poi…
-
If the attachment-sync boxes were unticked, PDFs would not have moved. Zotero will show the items as having attachments, but they will refuse to open. You can check for missing attachments by clicking the icon in the upper-rightmost corner of the ce…
-
It would be good to check your document, to see that links work okay. Find a reference that was added recently, after the jump back to the drive on your computer, and open it with the normal "Quick Format" dialog (the ribbon). Click on its bubble. I…
-
The metadata is all shown in the panels, there is no need to refer back to the items in the database or online. This will not move file attachments; they will be preserved in the end, but you don't need to worry about them now. The independent modi…
-
And 77 conflicts isn't too bad if the library is of significant size. After you work through them, they won't come up again.
-
(is "remote" the object in the online library?)Yes, that's right.
-
Sorry for the delay -- lunch. Sounds like it's all going according to plan so far. "local" is the database that your local "stand alone" Zotero is pointing at. "remote" is the online copy (containing the data that you exported in the first step). "…
-
I would untick both of those also, for the initial sync. You can always select them later, once the content is all in place.
-
Yep, unselect both of those. You don't need to sync attachments. (If you run into snags with the sync itself, the devs may need to chime in, but so far, so good.)
-
Good luck, hope it all goes smoothly. Do be sure to turn off attachment uploads before the sync, that will make things go much faster.
-
You can merge before, but I would probably wait, since merging in both libraries might trigger sync conflicts. If you remove the content of the online library before the sync, the number of duplicates shouldn't increase much when the two copies of t…
-
Just checked that. You can select all items in a view, and delete them as a batch. With a few iterations, you can remove all of them. Do that before the sync, obviously—once the online and local libraries are joined by sync, deleting in one location…
-
Good morning. It is normal that you are not getting errors on the missing items. Zotero embeds citation metadata in the document, and will use it as a fallback when the item is not available. The speed issue is indeed related to document size. If …
-
Point taken. I need to be more careful about giving hostages to fortune.
-
The link without the trailing period: https://github.com/Juris-M/propachi-vanilla/releases/latest Installing that should fix sorting completely for you. If it doesn't, please report back.
-
The plugin sends a request that triggers the menu in Zotero, and the menu initiates an update request to the plugin from Zotero-side. If I recall correctly, I concluded that the API to the plugins doesn't offer a means of updating a single field - …
-
Okay, that's all very clear now! I'm off to bed, unfortunately, but we can outline clear steps now.
-
They're in the Zotero GitHub account: https://github.com/zotero/ The code that calls them is in the integration.js source file of Zotero: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/blob/4.0/chrome/content/zotero/xpcom/integration.js Communication …

It's beyond my skill level. For others, I suspect it's just a lack of time and the pressure of other priorities. I'm sure it will happen in due course, though.
-
I'm still a little confused. "Save to Zotero" is the hint you see when you roll over the Zotero download icon in your browser. That message isn't coming from the online site; the button is part of your local Zotero setup (either the Standalone clien…
