Does it really still work? #6

This looks very useful, as I'm certain I have missing attachments. I saw #3, but I'm pretty sure the plugin's not working for me.

That is, I'm watching System Monitor's processes when I click "Storage Scanner", but no new process appears, and all processes remain practically idle (about 0% cpu usage). Also no #broken or #duplicates folder gets created after waiting a while.

This is with Zotero Standalone 4.0.29.10 (64-bit) and zotero-storage-scanner 0.16, on Ubuntu 14.04. I've also tried it with Firefox (55.02) and Zotero 4.0.29.10 with the same result.

Is there anything I could do to find out why it's not working?

Not really; when the BBT port to Z5 is done I can have a look. The plugin is pretty simple, so it should be an easy fix.

Sounds good. And btw, it's great to see you're tackling this complicated BBT port to Z5, much appreciated.

Dear retorquere, I find that the zotero is so unfriendly with the disabled attachment, including PDFs &notes. Please help us with the broken attachment links.

kld123509945 commented 6 years ago

I cannot beg for a scaner to delete duplicate PDFs &notes due to the size and CRC32, but please show us the duplicate items and let us to choose which version of PDF &note should be remained. Then delete the other PDFs &notes in Zotero.

Progress on this is being tracked on #3
