I'm not sure how to provide a debug ID just before accepting the last conflict. When the conflict resolution window is visible I can't get to the gear or tools. Should I accept all but the last one, then cancel sync, then submit the debug ID? (…
-
Still problems: I went through the reconciliation process for 110 items, and clicked "Finish". Firefox froze for a long time, first with "processing updated data from sync server," then with no message for a while. Finally it came up with 97 more un…
-
OK, it's strange because I went from having zero conflicts to 88 or 98 or 341 abruptly, without really doing anything. Maybe it's what you suggest here: that the client decided for some reason to do a full sync and so picked up some things that had …
-
I did copy-paste but must have missed some digits. Here is the debug ID for another run: D1631526320. (Now there are 98 unreconciled items.)
-
OK, that XPI worked -- that is, Zotero started properly in Firefox. But it didn't fully solve the sync problem. Now we're down to 88 unreconciled items -- which suggests, as you thought, that there were multiple issues, some of which have been solve…

OK, went through all the steps in the debug process linked by admasmith. It still doesn't start. The three error messages I get repeatedly, presumably for each time I tried to open zotero, are: Error: unterminated parenthetical Source File: chrome:…
-
OK, now having done that failed xpi installation (and before I saw adamsmith's comment) I reinstalled 3.0b3 in Firefox, then started Standalone again. Something flashed by about updating; now when I sync I get a new error message ("Invalid response …

Tried installing the branch in Firefox 8 (Windows 7), but it doesn't work -- it's listed in the Add-Ons screen and the options do work, but no icon in status bar; from tools menu, get "There was an error starting Zotero" message. This is the first t…

I was not aware that "links between items dragged from one library to another are tracked behind the scenes". That has all sorts of potential. Would it be possible just for users to see that field -- and therefore sort or select on it? That would al…

A major use for a good RTF Scan is Google Docs. Gdocs is a terrific way to collaborate on papers, especially with several authors, as one doesn't have to worry about conflicting versions and so on (and the comment facility is very good as well). But…

I *think* I successfully submitted the debug output; I got an ID number of D1434864403.
-
I am newly aware of this problem and find it really important. Collaboration is very difficult when group libraries and My Library overlap -- with items in both, or in multiple collections, etc. I can't search across My Library and Group folders, I …
-
Thanks so much, mronkko, that sounds great. Now I just need to get it to run. (I will be careful and back up first!)
-
Thanks -- I do use Windows, so I need to figure out how to use perl (it does not appear to be on my computer). That will have to wait till I get a bit of a break -- unless someone is willing to walk a non-perling Windows user through using this scri…
-
Wow! This is the advantage of open source. But I hope someone will explain to non-programmers (like me) how to use this.
-
I definitely have several hundred files in my storage folder that are duplicates of files in the zotero database but are not linked to zotero themselves. I have no idea how this happened -- perhaps with a Sugarsync operation gone wrong. But as komra…
-
I have similar problems switching between Standalone and Standard in Firefox -- if I've had them both going, often the save icon fails to show up in the address bar, or citations in Word documents are disconnected from Zotero. I have to shut down bo…
-
Yay! and thanks.

The collection-collapsing problem is not minor, as I continue to use it: it keeps wanting to expand all the branches of all the trees (if I use "+"), and there's not way to get it back down to just the top level categories without clicking individua…
-
Yes, but still the (minor) problem that the control-key method does not work when you're collapsed all the way down to "My Library" -- that would make it much easier to find the highlighted folders if you have a complex tree structure.
-
Found the 1.6.4 version -- thanks for your usual but remarkable responsiveness!
-
Oh, and another point: when I start collapsing and expanding collections the standalone application frequently crashes -- first it stops being able to expand and collapse (through clicking on the triangle, or through a right-arrow press, or through …
-
I'm not finding zotfile 1.6.4 at your link -- that page goes only up to 1.6.3, which is not compatible with standalone. Do you have a version of the 1.6.4 xpi that we could download directly? (Or do we need to be patient?)
-
But I have a variant of this problem. When folders are collapsed down to just "My Library", pressing "control" does nothing -- that has always been true. In previous versions I have collapsed folders and then expanded them, which has left showing ju…
-
It works fine for me (SA 3.0b, Windows 7)
-
A simple, but very partial, solution is: Create a Report from the item you want; copy the URL of that report; then use that URL as a hyperlink in the program that you want to link from (e.g., Word). When you click on that hyperlink, the report is cr…

I have experimented with rtfScan with current Zotero 2.1 and Word 2010; the results have been very erratic. It gets some references but not others. If I simply cut the ones it didn't get and paste them right back in again, it often gets them (though…

I have this issue in Win 7 with the Aero display enabled, but not when I disable Aero. I can find the "lost" buttons by mousing over where they're supposed to be.
-
This happens to me (on Windows XP and 7) for anything that goes to the temp directory. If you download to another directory, such as \Downloads, files are not set to read-only and there's no problem. You can reset this default location in the Firefo…

I agree, it's a minor but constant irritant. Is it harder to implement than we think?
