Zotfile broken- "Source folder is not valid"

dabanks · February 24, 2013

After the latest Zotero update Zotfile will not work. It renames PDFs just fine but it will not copy files into a custom location. I keep getting the error: "Zotfile Error The source folder is not valid please change the the [sic] source folder under Zotero-Actions-Zotfile Preferences. You might have to use a custom folder." Nothing I do works. I've reinstalled everything twice.

I should also mention that this happened after Zotfile made a new source folder all on its own in the same parent folder as the original source folder with the same name except with an underscore at the end.

Also I'm running 10.8.2 and latest versions of Firefox and Zotero.

You should post to the ZotFile support thread to make sure that the developer reads it.
