@tychen742 Thank you very much for the sharing. But when I tried to use Zotfile to rename all attachments, it always works for only several attachments and then stop working, so I have to re-run the rename attachments step. Have you ever faced this situation? Thank you for your time.

@ouerss: Can you provide a Debug ID for that happening? If so, we can work with the ZotFile developer to fix that.

@dstillman Thank you for the reply. The debug ID is D1683708807.

ZotFile (5.0.8, extension)

Start by updating to the latest version of ZotFile. The version you're using is over a year old. (I'm not sure why you haven't been auto-updated.) If you're still having trouble, provide another Debug ID.

@dstillman Hi,
1. About the older version ZotFile, I installed it manually to try wheter older version will work, the auto-update function is fine.
2. Now I updated ZotFile, and it still stoped work after rename a subset of attachments. The Debug ID is D1624513787.
Thank you very much for your kind help.

OK, thanks. I've submitted a patch to ZotFile that should fix a number of errors showing up in your report, including what is likely breaking renaming of multiple files.

@ouerss: These fixes are now available in ZotFile 5.0.13.

@dstillman Thank you very much for the amazing work. I tried again and everything is fine now.
