#1159 "Find unlinked files" crashes
When using the "find unlinked files" tool, it only works for a small amount of files (pdf-files in my case). If it is for example 15-300 files (I tried different amounts of files), after hitting "Apply", the "Importing into Database" freezes after importing several files.
Is it really dependent on the amount of files? Here, it worked with hundreds of files. Maybe the PDF content importer causes problems. In any case, can you send me a ZIP with the files causing troubles? My email username @ users.sf.net works.
I have the same issue here. However, I found out that it is not the number of files that is the problem in my case. There are rather particular files (I would say about 5-10% of all my PDFs) that cause a problem. It is very reproducible; I am happy to provide sample PDFs.
When the problem happens, JabRef becomes unresponsive, but at zero CPU load. JabRef then has to be killed, because the modal Search window cannot be closed (hitting the close button does nothing).
The command line reports some kind of exception (see below).
Any help in this matter would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
H

I am attaching a PDF that triggers the problem.
Thank you. With the current MASTER branch (2016-03-11, dc5b332), there is no exception displayed. Possibly, because meanwhile the used libraries have been updated.
Hi,
I would like to open this ticket again. I downloaded the 64 bit version just yesterday and this is happening to me as well. It seems like a few specific PDFs cause this problem and the only way is to kill the job.
I have been able to narrow the problem down to one of the files...Attached.
