I've had some issues with imports recently that are causing troubles ranging from significant to annoying. From most to least concerning:
- My last two imports have resulted in only some of the Zotero records creating Calibre records, although I have confirmed that they are not currently in my Calibre library. There are at least a few of the missing records that are new enough that I'm at least 90% confident I've never said "no" to importing them with the plugin before.
In tandem with the last issue that I'll mention below, I often have to relaunch Calibre to finish my ZMI import. With these two incidents, both times after restarting it told me there were still missing records from the same CSV, only to find after agreeing to import them that they were duplicates.
I can share a comparison of Zotero record CSV and my Calibre library, if that would be helpful for troubleshooting.
- In these two recent imports, URLs did not copy to the Calibre ID field for any records. This used to happen without me taking any special steps; is it no longer part of the standard manual workflow? I'm able to do it with JobSpy, but I have to fight with the CSV file each time to get all the single quotes formatted in the correct places...
- For possibly about 6 months or so (sorry, I've lost track of exactly when it started), the imported records have not shown up after they are added and the "ZMI" ID does not show in the identifiers list. If the library refreshes or I relaunch Calibre, they appear. I have not been able to locate a way to manually refresh the library, so I typically just relaunch and pick up the ZMI process again. It has been only a minor annoyance until encountering the first issue described above, and now it creates a few duplicate records when I restart ZMI. (And then they don't show in the total "ZMI" ID records, so I relaunch Calibre and restart ZMI, which then prompts me to make a few more duplicate records...).
Thanks as always for continuing to support my favorite Calibre plugin!
