mass import as link to pdf

Hi
Is there any way to mass 'import' links to pdf, into zotero?
it is great that you can drag and drop pdfs for copy, and therby search for metadata, BUT I would like to keep the pdf that are linked to the items in zotero at there orginal directories (aka link to file not copy) but still be able to get metadata for many files at a time.

dose anyone know if this is possible?
thanks
  • are they all in the same folder or a small number of folders?
    If so, you can click on the green plus sign --> Link to file and select multiple/all files in the selection dialog.

    (FWIW attach as link via drag&drop - probably with a key modifier - has been requested before. It's not high on the agenda of devs I believe, but I'm sure patches would be accepted.)
  • wasn't aware it was possible to select multiple files.
    thaks
    just what I was looking for.
