When making changes to the database, the file updated is D1\zotero.sqlite, taking 22MB now.
I don't know what actions are supposed to change file in here. The last modification time is for some files in there, e.g., cert8.db and ke圓.db, on. I also have D4=path-to-my-PortableApps\ZoteroPortable\Data\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\fault. The last modification time is for profiles.ini, on, so I suspect this is not used anymore. I have an empty C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero.ĭ3=C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Zotero.BackupByZoteroPortable\Zotero with Profiles\fault and profiles.ini. These new directories, synced from D2, are added to D1 when opening Zotero again. When adding items to my library, they add directories to D2 and not D1. What I further found (some of this unrelated to the specific PA origin, some related): You are already helping diagnose the problem. Perhaps, and hopefully, this is my case, and I appeal to that possibility. At the same time, some issues might have a solution which applies irrespective of the version. It is quite understandable that this forum might not provide answers related to the PortableApps (PA) version. The correct file is your answer was most useful.

If I double click on "ScienceDirect Full Text PDF" for the item, it tries to open D2a\xx.pdf, but it does not exist. As an example, I have one Zotero item with related data Proof of this, in addition to N2 above, is that files D1\better-bibtex.sqlite and D2\zotero.sqlite have modification dates of the current Zotero session (although not exactly the same, D2 are more recent). Both dirs are being modified during Zotero usage. D1\storage takes 455MB and D2\storage takes 363MB, so they are not fully in sync. D1\storage and D2\storage contain exactly the same 472 subdirectories, so they are (partially) in sync. I cannot tell if I had anything different before the update, perhaps it was D1. I see now: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Files and Folders -> Data Directory Location -> Default (C:\Users\myuser\Zotero)
I have recently updated Zotero in PC1 to the current version, and synced fine. It was having problems with syncing, so I used mostly PC2 PC1: Win 10, Zotero 5.? from PortableApps. Is there any way of merging the contents of both and keeping only one? (preferably D1 so it is fully portable) Should I aim at having only one? (given the example below in N5, I guess I should) path-to-my-PortableApps\ZoteroPortable\Data\profile This is a great workaround that means I don't need to switch between profiles.Įdit: sorry for the edits, I can't get markdown to work (was trying to format it for an easier read).In my computer (PC1: Win 10, Zotero 6.0.15 from PortableApps) I have two directories with zotero data:ĭ1. I was worried that the comment "not recommended for most users" meant it should only be used by those with more skills in this area than I possess. I won't be using the profiles at the same time, and reviewing the content should make it easy enough to double check which profile is open, but the name visibility would be a 'nice to have'. This could be because of the OS I'm using (I had to roll back to Catalina 10.15.7 to use Target Display), I'm not sure. I have no problems creating the automation, but when it is opens it just says 'Zotero' not 'Zotero (Work)'.
#MULTIPLE COMPUTERS USING ZOTERO HOW TO#
In the video, it shows how to create an 'application" that point directly to the extra file. I eventually realised this was meant to be added to the original command line, which was useful for creating a shortcut via Automator.Ģ. As I don't use command lines all that much, I initially interpreted the statement "You can open a specific profile from the command line with the -p flag (e.g., -p Work" to mean just typing "-p Work" into the terminal (once setup), which of course didn't work. I managed to do it, although I did hit a couple of stumbling blocks:ġ.
