About improving the note function

Joel806270685

I used to use zotfile to extract notes, but zotero 6.0 has its own note extraction function and zotfile has cancelled this function. Now batch annotation extraction notes can’t follow the file anymore. It will turn all the annotations of all files into one note. Is there any way to batch extract annotations from files to notes and follow the original entries instead of merging them all into one note?

Thanks, but I followed the steps above and finally returned a Return value:
SyntaxError:illegal character

Followed what steps, exactly?

“ The code is still there, though. Select multiple items (which can include items without annotations), go to Tools → Developer → Run JavaScript, and run this:
return await ZoteroPane.addNotesFromAnnotationsFromSelected()
This will create a child note under each selected item for each child attachment with annotations.”

Can you take a screenshot that shows what you're doing, upload it somewhere (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), and provide a link here?

Of course, here is the link to the screenshot

You'll need to make that link public.

Not sure why it wasn't enabled automatically — did you enter that with some special non-English input method? — but "Run as async function" should be enabled.

Yes, I mistyped "()", but a new error appears here

That's not an error. That means it ran successfully.
