 * Katie,
 * I’m still struggling with synching my huge database. I got results which aren’t
   reflecting the changes of my database. I suspected that it had to do with German
   umlaute in the name of my collection. So I changed all my collection names but
   it didn’t help. (Re-)Import helped but not always and I is a very tedious task
   for every small change to re-import a huge database.
 * To make the problems reproducible I started a complete new zotero account and
   so I can see exactly was is happening in my installation:
    1. Deleted tags are not deleted with the sync. But re-import does help.
    2. ZotPress shows me a collections which I do not have anymore. Here re-import 
       does not help!
    3. Perhaps a useful observation: I created a zotero search collection and saved
       it. The stray folder has exactly the items which appeared in my saved search(
       and were copied to a collection a I created and worked on for some time) Later
       I have changed the search criteria for my saved search.
    4. German characters do not display correctly in the browse panel. This has no 
       functional impacts, it’s only an aesthetic issue.

 * I’m looking into these issues on my end. 1 and 2 shouldn’t be happening if there
   are no other items with that tag, and you’ve moved the collection to the trash(
   not just deleted it with that keyboard button, which just removes it from that
   location, but doesn’t remove it from your library). Feel free to contact me:

    1.  **Tags**: Sorry for not expressing me correctly: I did some reorganisation 
       of my Zotero library. When I talked about deleted tags I meant that I deleted
       the tag not just on some data entries but in the whole library via the tag panel.
       So there were no entries with this tag anymore but the entries remained in the
       library.
    2. **Collections**: I deleted the collection from the library view and emptied 
       the trash as well.

 * On import, Zotpress empties every data table, so I don’t think the recurring 
   collection is as a result of this plugin. I’m curious about the tags and will
   have to take a closer look. Feel free to contact me.
