Upgrade StorageRename already imported PDFs
I have a large library with many PDF attachments.
Today, I changed the "extensions.zotero.attachmentRenameTemplate" field in the configuration to (year first)
{{ year suffix=" - " }}{{ firstCreator suffix=" - " }}{{ title truncate="100" }}.
I noticed that only newly added PDFs will be named accordingly. Old, existing, PDF attachments will not be renamed. Can I somehow enforce a rename of existing PDFs?

dstillmanCurrently, you have to construct a search that matches just attachments (e.g., an advanced search by attachment file type, and then press Enter to select all items in the main window), do a select all in the items list, and then right-click → Rename File from Parent Metadata. We'll be adding an automatic way to do this in a future update.
