Watched folder” functionality to automatically import PDFs (like Mendeley used to do)

eteixidor
Hi everyone,

I’d like to ask if there’s any plugin compatible with Zotero 7 that allows you to watch a local folder (e.g. ~/Bibliography) and automatically import any new PDF added to it—detecting metadata and adding it to the Zotero library.

I know Mendeley had this feature years ago, and ZotFile offered something similar in a semi-automated way, but as far as I understand, ZotFile is not compatible with Zotero 7.

I’ve reviewed the available plugins (Zotero Storage Scanner, Zowie, Open-PDF, etc.), and none seem to offer this functionality. Is there any current alternative? Or any ongoing project planning to include it?

I believe this would be a very useful feature for many users who manage large bibliographic collections.

Thanks in advance!
