Hello everyone, I have a folder related to a paper, like code or other documents. I want to add this file into the folder of this paper. How to do this? As i know, now, the singlel file can be add, but the folder not.

So you want to attach a folder not a single file ?

You can't attach a folder to an item. The best you could do would be to put the path to the folder in a child note. That first text line in the note, with the path, would then be shown in the main pane when the item is expanded.

You can make that a hot link that will open the folder when clicked (within the note) by using the file:/// prefix as shown here:

Alternatively, if you dragged all the files in the folder onto their Zotero parent item while holding down the appropriate modifier key, they would all be added as individual linked files ...

You could also create a zip file containing your directory. Depending on your system (choice of OS & zip utility), the archive might be treated almost like a folder.

Ok，thanks for the above comment. Let me try and I believe they are useful! In addition, I am very much looking forward to make it support adding folders. If did this, we can manage the code better or other attachment.
