Extremely slow performance

it takes 45-120 sec to upload and synch a 2MB PDF. I have a 16GB RAM Mac, 100Mbps internet connection, I rebooted my Mac and nothing changes. Activity Monitor assigns more than 100% of the CPU to the Papers Helper (Renderer). Please help

How can I see pdf while editing bibliographic data?

Hi, I was wondering if there is a simple way to look at a pdf when editing bibliographic information? My apologies if this has been asked before. It's difficult to have to go back and forth between the pdf and the screen with bibliographic data fields.

Readcube library format

I have a very large Papers3 library (27 GB), and not much space left on my hard drive. I wonder if ReadCube would use the old Papers3 library or create a new one? And if the old library is used, would I be able to continue using Papers3 in parallel, just in case?

In ReadCube Papers, are PDFs stored online *only*?

I want to keep PDFs on my hard drive, both for searchability and as a hedge against getting locked in to a proprietary format. Current Papers 3 automatically renames PDFs and files them on my hard drive. Does ReadCube Papers offer this, or are PDFs in the app online only?

Is there a way to reorganize the interface?

Instead of by columns, can I make it like 3 panels just like the old papers?

How do I improve the integration of ReadCube with Linux and LibreOffice?

It may be good to know how to deploy ReadCube and its apps in Linux systems.
