Linked .pdf files broken after changing a hard drive

GuilloV

Hello,

I cannot open my linked files after I was obligated to change my hard drive. I recovered almost everything from my ancient hard drive thanks to a carbon copy. But unfortunately any of the links that I made in my zotero collection are working.

So I'm looking for a way to recreate all the links between my bibliographic references and their related .pdf files.

I already read discussions about zotilo (but I'm working on a standalone installation) and relative paths (but after changing the root of relative paths the linked .pdf files still broken).

Someone there knows how can I fix this?

Note: I'm working on mac os 10.9.3 and zotero 4.0.21.1

you can install Zutilo in Standalone. Download the .xpi, and then install via tools--> add-ons--> Tool icon --> Install from file.

Hello adamsmith,

Thank you very much for your help, it works perfectly.

I first installed zutilo and then followed the instructions you made in this other discussion

All the paths of a zotero library could be changed in one simple step by using zotilo.

I'm very happy now !

Cool, glad that worked out.
