Upgrade StorageLink files, prevent zotero from importing
Hi,
I just realized that zotero imports my locally linked files to its directory. While this may be useful for later backups, imports/exports, this is very annoying when you have your own folder structure and work on pdfs outside of zotero. Fore example: I am marking passages in a pdf and save it. Later, double clicking on the (initially linked) file in zotero, it opens another version, the one imported to the zotero directory. Although I linked the file zotero imports it after linking with the effect that an obsolete file is linked.
How can I prevent zotero from importing linked files? Actually I dont even get the point of linking files when zotero still imports them.
thx

When you choose the first option above, zotero grabs the file from the original folder and stores it in the zotero folder, creating a link to that file. That was a bit confusing for me as all my remarks I did later in the document were "gone" all of a sudden (when openig the doc later through zotero)
