In any case: I still have all the files on my computer in a backup folder and they are still sorted the way Mendeley sorts them. The files are also gone from my Web library and from my Mendeley app on my old laptop.

I'm not sure if this was because I installed it on a new laptop (I did back-up and sync everything correctly) or if that's related to issues with the latest update I have read about, e.g. using only Mendeley's own sorting system.įor some reason, most of my entries in my Mendeley app 'lost' their file a while ago.

Stack: Unix error 2 during operation open on file /home/pauline/Zotero/storage/9QDTZTPP/.I have all the PDF documents for my reference entries saved and organised by Mendeley in a library folder, sorted by author, year etc. However, when I open the pdf reader, a red banner says : I successfully imported my Mendeley collection to Zotero beta with my highlights and pdf stored through a cloud storage facility. I've also downloaded Zotfile, not sure if that's relevant in any way. Could this be the problem or am I way off? I chose that option because it felt like the other option would just fill up the 300MB Zotero storage very quickly. But, when I used the Importer on Zotero, there was an option for File Handling, where I chose "Link to files in original location" as opposed to "Copy files to the Zotero storage folder".
I'm not sure I entirely followed the exchange above on what the problem might be. Zotero's pdf reader is enabled and these are ALL the documents on My Library in Mendeley. Mentioning just so other people making the move are aware.īut also, I'm having the same issue as, in which none of my highlights or notes within papers have been imported. But like it was said, this seems to be Mendeley problem. It also deleted around ~100 files for no reason I can understand.

So, I ran into the same problem as of having to individually download hundreds of pdf (about 2/3 of my database) in Mendeley after downgrading to 1.18, which equals to a frustrating morning.
You can re-enable auto-sync once you've confirmed that everything was imported correctly.
The importer previously created notes from note annotations, and those existing notes won't be touched.Īs before, you'll need to be running Mendeley 1.18 for the importer to work, due to database encryption in later versions of Mendeley.įor this initial version, I would recommend making a backup of your Zotero data directory and temporarily disabling auto-sync before the import. If you've previously imported a Mendeley database into Zotero, you should be able to simply repeat the process to add annotations to your existing imported attachments. Rectangle highlight annotations will be automatically converted to Zotero's image annotations, allowing you to view thumbnails in the annotation sidebar and drag the images directly into your notes. Zotero will extract the text for text highlights, allowing you to view the text in the annotation sidebar and drag the text into your notes. Zotero's Mendeley importer will now import highlight and note annotations along with attachments. The latest Zotero beta adds the ability to import Mendeley annotations directly into Zotero for use in the new PDF reader.
