Recover Original PDF File Names After Automatic Renaming
Hello,
I have an issue with Zotero’s automatic file renaming. I added several PDF files of scientific articles to my library by dragging and dropping them. These files originally had simple letter names (A.pdf, B.pdf, C.pdf, etc.), but Zotero automatically renamed them based on the article titles.
The problem is that my original computer was stolen, and I no longer have access to the PDFs with their original names. I am now working only with the synchronized online version of Zotero.
My question is:
Is there any way (via Zotero or its API) to recover the original file names before they were renamed?
Thank you in advance for your help.
