Import pdf with Zotfile

Dear friends,
I've installed Zotero and Zotfile.
I have a directory with PDFs that I update with new files.

From what I understand, Zotfile can import automatically the files into Zotfile.

Although I've configured Zotfile, I cannot see the new files in Zotero.

Here is a print screen of the configuration:

Please help.

Thank you!

Ilan.
  • It's not the most reliable function, but if it works, it only works if you _don't_ have an item selected in the middle panel in Zotero. Then you get a ZotFile bubble on the right, click that and the PDF imports.

    Personally, I think it's faster to just drag&drop stuff to Zotero as you go along.
  • Thank you for your answer.

    So maybe it's easier to work with Mendeley?
  • if you feel strongly about the need for a watch folder, then likely so.

    Dear Adam,
    I'm new to Zotero.
    Can you share your reasons why you choose Zotero over Mendeley?

    I really don't know what to choose.

    Thank you!

    Better import (via URL bar icon), better tagging, better searching, open source & not owned by a publisher.
  • Thank you very much!

    I hope I will manage to use Zotero.

    I have many questions, I hope to find them on Google.

    Thank you again.

    Ilan.
