Love the plugin idea, it just is not working for me ATM #173

Describe the bug The "Citation database path" shows that the references "Loaded library with 155 references", but when I close the settings window, no references anywhere.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Settings'
  2. Click on 'format and path' and fill in.
  3. Close settings and no references...

Console output Nothing else to see that I can see is an issue.

Expected behavior My 155 citations to be created as notes in the specified Zotero folder.

This sounds similar to #163. If you are expecting that once the plugin dialog closes, you instantly get a literature note for every item in the library, this is incorrect. The plugin does not work like this. To me it sounds like you have correctly setup the plugin but you have just not yet created a literature note.

In your vault, if you open the command palette and select the Citations: Open Literature Note command, do you get the list of items from your library? And when you select an item, do you get a literature note created/opened? If so, then the plugin is correctly setup and its working properly.

Ahhhh, thanks so much for pointing out my idiocy @orionpilot . In the tutorials I was watching it looked like a folder was automatically populated, but of course not.

Thanks again for your reply, sorry to taking up your time.
