Renaming PDFs in a folder
Hi there,
Here's my situation. I download a paper into folder A. When I drag and drop a PDF into Zotero, it extracts metadata, copies the PDF into a different location (e.g., folder B), and renames the PDF using author names, year, etc. So far so good.
However, how can I also rename the original PDF, the one that's in folder A?
Thank you.

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.
Renaming would then obviously rename the linked file.
What you originally ask though isn't possible: you can't have Zotero create a copy _and_ rename the original file.
