Import linked pdfs from bib file under Windows 10

[f-brinkmann]

I'm not sure if this is a BBT problem but I already posted on Zotero without getting an answer: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/83091/import-pdfs-linked-in-bibdesk-file-into-zotero-under-windows-10

I try to import bib files with linked pdfs. It worked under Mac OS but does not under Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Report ID is: TJRD7UBY-euc Here is the content of the file I imported. I tripple checked the file path, tried single/double quotes around the path, and tried a file name without spaces:

@inproceedings{Algazi2001b,
Abstract = {43 human and 2 KEMAR (small and large ears) subjects. 1250 directions measured, r =1m},
Address = {New Paltz, New York},

Booktitle = {IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics},
Doi = {10.1109/ASPAA.2001.969552},
Keywords = {Spatial Audio (Bin. Tech.), HRTF; HRTF (Individualization), _done}

Pages = {99-102},
Title = {The {CIPIC HRTF} database},

File = {C:\Users\panik\Documents\Uni\Literature\Papers\Algazi Duda Thompson Avendano 2001_The CIPIC HRTF database.pdf}}

Thanks, Fabian

If you import the RDF file from https://gist.github.com/64d7cbc16348fec40b0be48f61e1c08a (make sure to get the raw version), does it import the PDF?

[f-brinkmann]

yes that imports the file!

That's bad news for me, because that means the problem is in BBT. I'll get you a debug build, because I don't have access to a windows machine.

:robot: this is your friendly neighborhood build bot announcing test build 5.2.22.6533 ("absolute paths on Windows")

Install in Zotero by downloading test build 5.2.22.6533, opening the Zotero "Tools" menu, selecting "Add-ons", open the gear menu in the top right, and select "Install Add-on From File...".

Yesss! That did the trick - a million thanks...

[retorquere]

thanks for the confirmation, will be in the next release. You can just keep using this version, it's just the current release with this patch, you'll be upgraded automatically.
