Help with Zotero 7 and missing Zotfile Functionality

Howdy all. Switched to Zotero 7 and am struggling a bit with the absence of Zotfile.

Previously, I had it set up such that when I added a file to an item (like a PDF), it would not only rename the file as I like it (which I have been able to successfully recreate), but it also moved that file into a folder. The name and structure of that folder corresponded to the Collection is was in. So, for example, if the collection was named "ANTH100" the file would get renamed and moved into the ANTH100 file folder in my chosen directory.

It is this last part that I cannot seem to recreate. It is moving the files into random folders with a random string of letters as the file folder name. Its driving me nuts.

Also, as an aside, restricting my ability to see the filename in an item and instead only being able to see "PDF" was a real weird move... I get that it may be the programmers' preference, but it certainly isn't mine.
  • You'll need a replacement for ZotFile. Most people use ZotMoov but there is also attanger (for "Zotero attachment Manager"). Functionality should be the same.
