why attachments in different folder?

snoopyzhao

Hi there,

Although it was a common topic in this forum, I don't find the reasons to put each attachment in a different, random named folder. Is there a option to set a default folder for all attachments.

The attachments here is obtained by the following way:

newItem.attachments.push({url:link, mimeType:'application/pdf'});

here the link is a url to a PDF file at the specific site.

Any comments will be really appreciated.

Regards,

Look at the Zotfile plugin or use a virtual folder in your OS - the reason for the folder structure is, as I understand, to facilitate syncing and to avoid conflicts, but I don't know much details.
