trigger iCloud download of a pdf when trying to open an attachment?
I have my Zotero pdfs in a separate folder in my MacBook so they can sync with my iPad via iCloud. Unfortunately, I don't have enough room on my laptop to keep all the pdfs so iCloud deletes some files from my hard drive periodically, leaving only a reference. When I try to open a pdf like that from Zotero, I get "I can't find the file" error. I then have to search by file name in the Finder and double-click on the file icon to trigger iCloud download. Is there a way to trigger the download from Zotero? Thanks!
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Show File should also work now for evicted files. (Dragging to elsewhere in the filesystem from Zotero won't work, and I don't think we could support that reliably until there was a way to trigger an iCloud download from the command line, which as far as I know doesn't currently exist.)
