OpenURL
188BET靠谱吗Here you can specify a different OpenURL resolver for use with Zotero'sLibrary Lookupfeature.
If you are on an institution network, you can click the "Search for resolvers" button.188BET靠谱吗If Zotero finds an OpenURL resolver belonging to your institution, you can select it using the "Custom…" drop-down menu.
You can also enter an OpenURLURLby hand in the Resolver field.Most resolvers use OpenURL version 1.0, but 0.1 is still in use.Ask your librarian for more information, or check our ownlist of OpenURL resolvers.

Files and Folders
Linked Attachment Base Directory
188BET靠谱吗If you store attached files in Zotero — the default — this setting does not affect you.It only applies tolinkedfiles.
This setting allows you to accesslinked fileson multiple computers even when they're stored in different locations on each computer.You should set the base directory to the folder on each computer under which you store linked files.For example, if the folder with your linked files is at/Users/Sarah/Dropbox/PDFs
on your laptop and atC:\Users\Sarah\Dropbox\PDFs
on your work computer, set those paths as the base directory on each respective machine.188BET靠谱吗If you add a linked file within the base directory, Zotero stores a relative path to that base directory rather than an absolute path.
Note that this setting does not control where files are stored — only whether linked files within the specified folder are referenced by absolute or relative paths.If you're using theZotFile pluginto help with a linked-file workflow, you should configure it to store linked files within the base directory you've configured.
Note that linked files are an advanced configuration, and we're not able to help troubleshoot problems with specific setups.We recommend that most people use stored files instead.
Automatic Linked-File Relinking
If you previously added linked files on another computer without having set a base directory and your files are now in a different location on your current computer, you can simply set your base directory to the desired containing folder on your current computer (e.g.,C:\Users\Sarah\Dropbox\PDFs
).When you next open a missing file with an absolute path (e.g.,/Users/Sarah/Dropbox/PDFs/Smith - 2019 - Foo.pdf
188BET靠谱吗), Zotero will automatically locate the file within your specified base directory and offer to relink all files that have the same base path (/Users/Sarah/Dropbox/PDFs
).
Data Directory Location
188BET靠谱吗By default, Zotero stores yourdata directory(which contains your library database, attachment files, and several other files) in your user home folder on your computer.This is the best location for most users, but it is possible to change the location.188BET靠谱吗After changing the data directory location, Zotero will store newly created data in the new location.
188BET靠谱吗Note that Zotero will not, however, copy over existing data to the new location.If you want to keep your data, you need to move the files manually.188BET靠谱吗Click the "Show Data Directory" button to open the Zotero folder in your computer's file browser.188BET靠谱吗You will need to move everything in the folder (including 'zotero.sqlite', 'storage', 'styles', and all other files) to the new location.
Unsafe Data Directory Locations
There are several data directory locations that arelikely to lead to database corruption or even data loss.
-
Cloud storage folders188BET靠谱吗: Storing your Zotero data directory in a cloud storage folder (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive, or other similar folder synchronization services) is extremely unsafeand will almost certainly lead to database corruption and potentially data loss.
-
Network drives188BET靠谱吗: If you store your Zotero data directory on a network drive and then access it from multiple computers at the same time, you are very likely to encounter database corruption.188BET靠谱吗For example, if you leave Zotero open on your laptop, then open the same Zotero database on the network drive from your work computer, you will likely experience corruption.188BET靠谱吗You should never use a network drive to permit multiple users to access the same Zotero database on different machines (use 金博宝世界杯体育赛事or 188BET靠谱吗Zotero syncingfor that).
-
Virtual machines188BET靠谱吗: Similar to issues with network drives, it can be unsafe to use the same Zotero database file from both a virtual machine and the computer's host operating system (or another virtual machine).188BET靠谱吗If the same Zotero database is accessed from two locations at the same time (e.g., if Zotero is open on both the virtual machine and the host operating system), corruption is likely.188BET靠谱吗If you want to use Zotero in a virtual machine, it is better to set up a separate Zotero data directory in the virtual machine and to keep it up to date using 188BET靠谱吗Zotero syncing.
-
External disks188BET靠谱吗: While keeping your data directory on an external disk is usually safe, your database could become corrupted if, say, the disk becomes unmounted while Zotero is open.
Database Maintenance
-
Check Database Integrity:188BET靠谱吗This function checks your Zotero database for invalid data and database corruption.Database corruption is rare, and in most cases is caused by storing your data directory in an unsafe location.Checking database integrity can take a long time if your database is very large.If your database is corrupted, you can try to use the Database Repair Toolto repair the corruption.
