@ZoteroCalbrNote:

Only as a temporary workaround (we still need to get to the bottom of it), you can do this to jump-start your use of Calibre with your Zotero books and metadata:

[1] Set your ZMI options to create empty books if no file attachments are found.

[2] Run ZMI in auto-step mode with your 'real' CSV file.

[3] Finish the updating of the new empty books' metadata in ZMI by clicking the remaining pushbuttons etc.

[4] Navigate to your Zotero 'storage' folder.

[5] Drag-and-drop each .pdf onto the Calibre Book Detail pane (on the right) for the appropriately selected "empty book". That will be easy, since the Zotero storage files have the Zotero Key in their path, and Calibre has it in the ZKey Custom Column. You can also match on author and title, of course. Calibre will ask you if you really want to add that new format. Say "yes".

You will then have your Zotero .pdf files in Calibre with all of the appropriate ZMI-created Calibre metadata.

You can begin to work in Calibre with your Zotero files just as if your issue did not exist.

When you have the time, run the special ZMI plugin .zip file I uploaded previously just for you to use while running in debug mode, then upload its entire debug log for me.

I am going to figure this out. You have Windows 10. I have Windows 10. My ZMI works perfectly. User @petzi's works perfectly in OSX. User @excaliber's works perfectly in Windows 10. Yours should too.


Thanks.
