Zotfile: How to rename a PDF with its communication author(s)?

sk22

I want to rename my PDF with its first author and communication author(s). Can Zotfile or any other add-in do this automatically?

e.g.
1.
Robert A. House, Urmimala Maitra, Miguel A. Pérez-Osorio, Juan G. Lozano, Liyu Jin, James W. Somerville, Laurent C. Duda, Abhishek Nag, Andrew Walters, Ke-Jin Zhou, Matthew R. Roberts & Peter G. Bruce*. Superstructure control of first-cycle voltage hysteresis in oxygen-redox cathodes. Nature 577, 502–508 (2020).

Zotfile can do first or last author, but corresponding authors elsewhere in the list isn’t something that is contained in Zotero data. Your best option there would be to add those to the Extra field and then make a custom wildcard in zotfile preferences that extracts that. You can see some examples to point you in the right direction on the zotfile website.

That said, do you really need this in the PDF file name? Would just storing it in extra (or opening the PDF and getting that information from the first page) be as fast (or faster) to retrieve and not require elaborate setup?
