Zotero library
So, I am checking out my Zotero library located at:
file:///Users/ShapeShifter/Library/Application%20Support/Firefox/Profiles/zyjemw20.default/zotero
Went into "storage" and I believe I found a mess, eg., an inordinate number of .gif s and scripts associated with each stored html document, all collected in an individual folder, totaling an additional 300kb per 70kb html document. I can go in and delete the 300kb material but is there anyway of saving just the sparsely populated html document? Thanks

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You scrape the entire page - which means it will actually work pretty close to how you saw it in your browser - but that means it is going to be a little larger. It would be hard (prob. impossible) for Zotero to tell which parts of the webpage are essential (e.g. if you save a news article with a map, you'd probably want the .gif file. If there's a little interactive js tool on the page, you may want that to work etc.)
Edit: Btw. this is not a "mess" in the sense that it is what Zotero is supposed to do, so there is nothing wrong with your library.
