Filename DOI omits forward slash /

anoukbouma
I have a problem with the filenames that I want my pdf files in zotero to have. I used this page: https://www.zotero.org/support/file_renaming to set my files to be renamed to their DOI's. However, when I export a collection using the BibTex export with exporting files also checked, my files are named by their DOIs without the forward slashes in them. For example a DOI could be: 10.5964/meth.12503 and the filename would then become: 10.5964meth.12503. This is a problem, because I need the names to be correct in order to link them to other parts of my project. Does someone know how to fix this?

    Filenames can't contain slashes. You could do something like

    {{ DOI replaceFrom="/" replaceTo="_" regexOpts="g" }}

    to replace them with an allowed character.
