Avoid Duplication #9

Closed carvalhar closed 1 year ago

carvalhar commented 3 years ago

Hi, I have a folder full of pdf and this plugin had some bugs that closed Zotero, so when i try once again it starts to reate dupliates. Is it possible to check for duplication before copying?

This plugin had some bugs that closed Zotero? Can you elaborate on that?

I'm not sure how I would check on duplication. Perhaps file name and size, but a content check is going to be massively slow.

it just closed zotero after a while working on a folder very big (and very slowly).

That's a bit quick to decide that this plugin had errors vs that it triggered a bug in Zotero. How many files were you importing, approximately?

I have an idea how to avoid the duplicates, but it will be the weekend before I can make progress.
