What happened?

A bug happened!

Hello,

When I exported all my library, there will display an error. The bug has been submitted. Thanks. Another question: what is the idle? I have chose idle to automatically export library, but I don't know when BetterBibTeX will export and I haven't see it exporting.

Best regards.

Idle means when you haven't used Zotero for a while. I As long as you're actively using Zotero, it will not export.

After having disabled it, it is the same. The debug id: YRLP6ENC-euc/6.7.116-6

Once I left my laptop there and go to lunch for an hour. When I returned,it haven't export .bib file. So, when will BetterBibTeX export it when set it to idle.

[retorquere]

Did you restart after changing that setting? You're still getting out of memory errors.

It can't while you're having out of memory errors.

It is impossible to out of memory here.

[retorquere]

It is impossible to out of memory here.

It is clearly not impossible because Zotero is in fact out of memory on your system. Zotero 6 on Windows is a 32 bit app and that has a hard cap on memory use regardless of how much memory your system has. Zotero 7 will change that.

You haven't answered my question. Have you restarted Zotero since changing that setting? If not, changing the setting makes no difference.

I will test it in about 3 hours. I forgot it now. Thanks a lot.

[retorquere]

BTW I'm not just guessing that Zotero is out of memory, the top of the error log says

[JavaScript Error: "out of memory"]
[JavaScript Error: "out of memory"]

[earthmoon]

JavaScript Error: "out of memory"]

Okay. I have left my laptop for nearly 3 hours but no new file exported.

[retorquere]

OK, but have you restarted Zotero. If you did not restart Zotero, it is unavoidable that you will still have out of memory errors.

In the morning today, it exported when I started the Zotero, so it can work if memory is not out of. However, now, I needn't to start it if I hope it export, as it is easier to export it by hand compared to restart it.

[retorquere]

OK, so you did restart. How many items are in your library?

3466. Hope Zotero 7 will be released soon.

[retorquere]

That's not an awful lot. BBT must have a memory leak, I'll look into that, but that's a notoriously hard problem to diagnose, as cause and effect are typically not near each other.

Zotero 7 should be out somewhere this year but I haven't yet seen an indication of a more precise date.

[earthmoon]

en an indication of a more precise date

Thanks a lot. If I choose exported when changed, it will often stuck, so the exported when idle is only choice.

5052 should re-enable on-idle search

This version will export when idle. It is good. Thanks!

[retorquere]

Thanks! I've scheduled the release of 6.7.117

[earthmoon]

Thanks! I've scheduled the release of 6.7.117

Looking forward to the day when it can be updated.

[retorquere]

.117 is just 5052 with a new version number; you are up to date as you are, and Zotero will automatically update to .117 in the next few days. If you want it now, wait until https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/actions/runs/6121132049 goes green, then go in the addons screen and ask Zotero to search for updates.

[earthmoon]

Okay. Good job! Thanks.
