Sample Data
Hi, I've downloaded your Sample Data - Unzipped it - But when you say to "Choose COPY FILES TO THE ZOTERO STORAGE FOLDER and click next", it keeps opening more files.
I click open for "QGZ7 Sample Data" and get two more files, "QGZ7 Sample Data.rdf "and "files". If I open "files" I get two more files, "2588" and 2605".
If I just right click on your original file, I don't see an option to "Copy files to the Zotero Storage folder".
Can you clarify the instructions, please? Thanks.
Hi, Paul. I recreated it and got the same thing. I don't know when I embedded the folder called "file," but I've tested and confirmed we don't need it. When you're importing into Zotero, import the RDF file--not the other materials. So sorry for the confusion. Thanks for letting me know. I'll rework the sample data to eliminate those files. Let me know if you have other problems. --Donna
It worked! Thank you!
I am using your Zotero book, published 2019, and on page 19 I am attempting to download the Baker Genealogy Exercises. Step 4 says I should click on the Join button. I do not get a join button on the right side. I created an account in geohistory to see if that would change the ability to download the exercise file and I still get nothing. Am I missing something or do I have to get approved to add the file? Thank you.
