Is Zotfile not compatible with Zotero 7?

knutatle

If not, is it possible to revert back to an earlier version of Zotero? This is for me the most important feature of this platform. If it is disabled, will there be any alternatives in version 7 forward? Not being able to send files to the sky is for me a great step backwards when it comes to features.

See the discussion here. Focus on the last page as a user made a new plugin for Z7.

Thanks for this information. I guess it is better than nothing, but it is not possible to send files back and forth and there is nothing about exporting annotations. All it does it to move a copy of the file to a place of my choosing, but that is easy to do manually.

Extracting annotations aren't part of current ZotFile, that's a native Zotero feature now.
Apart from that you're looking at the wrong plugin. The one damnation is referring to (Zotero File) is identical feature wise.

Hi,

Please can you post links to an explanation of how extracting annotations is a native feature of Zotero and any user guide or other forum discussions / links about how it's done?

Sincerely,

Cab

This explains that annotation extraction is no longer part of Zotfile, as it became part of Zotero itself some time ago (when v6 was released) ...

Linked from that page is further explanation of how that functionality works ...
