Link Attachments in Folder Structure / Feature Request
Hi all,
I'm new to Zotero (5.0.37 on Ubuntu 16.04) and really like it so far. However, there's one feature that I really miss: Adding PDFs to a collection by linking to a folder structure on a local storage device, with several subfolders.
As far as I have tried, the "Link to File" dialog only allows selecting multiple PDFs in one folder. With a collection of several 1000s of PDFs organised in hundreds of subfolders - as would be the case with a literature folder shared by dozens of colleagues - this is becoming a bit of a task.
I know this feature has been asked for before, and I find it really hard to believe that other users can do without it - so please consider this a humble feature request ;-)
Would one of Zotero's extensions be helpful to solve the task?
Cheers and keep up the great work!
