Managed attachments disappeared

Hello,
I'm very surprised and disappointed to notice that the option 'Extract Annotations from PDF Files' disappeared. I couldn't Zotfile in Zotero (error of compatibility)

Configuration :
Zotero connector 5.0.35
Firefox 59.0.2
Zotero standalone 5.0.44
Linux Mint 64 bits (latest)

This has always been a ZotFile function and ZotFile is very much compatible with Zotero 5.0.44: note that you do _not_ want to install it in Firefox. You want it in Zotero. See the installation instructions on http://zotfile.com/

Hello, I finally got it working by installing the beta version (5.0.45-beta.2+9a304b669). I'm not sure what went wrong with the other version...

You definitely don't need the beta version, and the beta version is currently basically equivalent to the release version anyhow. This doesn't have anything to do with your Zotero version — you just need ZotFile installed in Zotero.

(If you want to keep the beta installed, that's fine, but be prepared for more frequent updates and occasional glitches.)
