Upgrade StorageAttachments show up missing part filename after moving with Zotfile
Hi,
I am using zotfile to move attachments from the default zotero storage folder to a folder that is on cloud storage (to access from multiple devices).
Most files have no issue, but I noticed one issue when there are multiple attachments within the same parent item and all have the same filename, expect for an index at the end, e.g,
Strategy Lectures1.pdf
Strategy Lectures2.pdf
Strategy Lectures3.pdf
All attachments share the same parent item Called "Strategy Lectures"
Before moving with zotfile, these attachments showed up as I wrote above in zotero. After moving with zotfile, the files show up in Zotero under the parent item "Strategy Lectures" as:
Strategy Lectures.pdf
Strategy Lectures.pdf
Strategy Lectures.pdf
All the same filename!
This makes it hard for me to figure out which file is which. However, when I open the files, the content is different. i.e., they show up with the same name in zotero, but they are actually different files in the storage directory. I checked the actual file in the zotfile destination folder, and each of the files still has the index (1, 2, 3, ..) at the end.
So, to summarize: the problem is that the filename index is missing when viewed in zotero, after using zotfile. The files themselves seem to still keep the index in the filename.
Is there a way in zotero or zotfile to make the files show up with their actual filename (including index) in zotero after using zotfile?
If you have alternative solutions to my approach, also please suggest.
Thank you in advance.
