I reckon these are not what brucebest is looking for either, but they might provide some useful facilities for him: (1) I've used the FF extension "SQLite Manager" to browse and search the Zotero database quite successfully. It allows you to ex…

Well you could replace your FF 3.6 with 3.5.7 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html and work your up!
-
This all seems to work fine just now for me on Zotero 2.0rc2/FF3.6/Win XP-SP3. I have had the problem you describe in the past, but it was down to FF configuration, rather than anything specifically to do with Zotero. I fixed it by editing FF's…
-
I didn't have that problem (though I did have a different one). I assume you tried a second time - just in the case the error message was telling the truth :-) I accepted the invitation to upgrade to rc2 (having resisted rc1), but it all went h…

Thanks Dan.

Debug ID: D1933527762 - for what it's worth ... Well, after the restart (and enabling debug) it synced and completed. Perhaps the problem is the puny ADSL upload speed here? Thanks!
-
Still problems here. Submitted an error report (1187870117). I got the (now) usual slow sync, though this time it attempted storage sync, but stalled at 45% on uploads, giving an error icon that says "Unexpected status code 502 in Zotero.Sync.Storag…
-
Me too. The spinning sync arrow and "upload accepted - waiting for sync server" has persisted for about an hour now. Other web sites working fine (as evidenced by this posting!). I've had similar problems the past two days, except that it did s…

I've used MIT's CiteLine (citeline.mit.edu) to get a sortable-but-html database. You should be able to access http://citeline.mit.edu/9099e64bfa8234b451b460b9a4e850de0a7ba03d/methodology.html for an example, but if not there are others linked from t…

This Knowledge Base entry might also be useful http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliographies And RTF Scan is documented here http://www.zotero.org/support/rtf_scan

These are maybe easiest taken in reverse! "- Under Preferences, I did not see any keyboard shortcuts related to word processor integration. Specifically, are there keyboard shortcuts for inserting and editing in-text citations?" Inserting …
-
My plan - though to date I've only done experiments, and the whole truth as we all know only emerges when the deadline gets close! - is to write individual chapters with Word/Zotero, and do the "formatting" when the text is complete. My two mai…

"do you mean by adding physical memory to my hard drive to boost the overall performance of my computer" Yes, I mean adding RAM (not storage space on your hard drive). You'd have to open the box to do that :-) "use one Firefox window speci…
-
I've not noticed it be any slower than anything else written in JavaScript. Adding (physical) memory will definitely make a difference. For myself, I've found that the trick of keeping a Zotero "window" open helps a little (i.e. a Firefox windo…

Could you export the subcollections to RDF (I think that maintains the link to the PDF's, but you want to check that out!). Then zap everything and import the subcollections. I expect you'd need to rename them. And of course zip up and back up the s…
-
I should have said this was on Win XP/SP3, FF 3.5.3, Z 2.0b7.2 I shut down the two machines, restarted, and started FF. I did two successive "manual" sync's about 5 mins apart from the laptop - Debug ID is D1274112506. This seems to download…
-
Possibly if you list what you've entered in the "Preferences>Sync>File Sync" dialog (keeping the password to yourself), someone may be able to see what's wrong. I've found it easy to set up on the Zotero side. Any problems I had were with…
-
Thanks again! I guess I should have checked that out before displaying my ignorance in public>>> What I meant to say really was you could mark this thread "closed"
-
I tried loading the URL and watching for certificate requests, but no such manifestation. However, I went through various resets - "File Sync History" and "Full Sync with Server" - and everything is now back and working again. Thanks for …
-
Thanks Dan, Yes, The Full Sync seems to have cured the problem
-
Done. The Debug ID is D1647332145. The error message referenced a different identifier this time: "Source item for keyed source doesn't exist in Zotero.Item.getSource() (VTKH7XK3)" Thanks, Alan.
-
Duh ... of course that didn't change the complaint about "Source item for keyed source doesn't exist ", but I noticed that the fleeting and "empty" Conflict Resolution dialog actually has a single string (in bold) "deleted" in its Local pane.

There are files KJ6UE47J.prop and KJ6UE47J.zip at the WebDAV server. I downloaded them. The .prop contains the string "1248380462". Trying to open the .zip reports that it's corrupt. What'll happen if I just delete these from the WebDAV server?…
-
I'm now getting another error "Unexpected status code 0 in Zotero.Sync.Storage._getStorageModificationTime()" (report 1535260059). I set up storage sync correctly and it went off spinning for a long time. Looking at the WebDAV server I can see …
-
Restarting Firefox didn't fix the problem, although things are now different! (In particular I haven't seen the "Empty response from server" message lately. I tried all the following: 1. restart Firefox(es) 2. restart computer(s) 3. in…

I'm getting this error message also, along with other, more extravagant JS exceptions;-( I've been using Sync with 2.0b5 for a while now from one computer without problems. So tonight I decided to bite the bullet and add it to my laptop also. M…

There are fairly explicit warnings that you shouldn't rely solely on Sync Preview, and that you should back up your database regularly if trying it. I've been keeping simple copies of the zotero directory, and also exported everything to RDF. Y…
