Zotfile - synching with tablet creates year subfolder
When using the syncing of attachments to a Tablets e.g. via Dropbox, proposed by Zotfile, a subfolder will be created, even when the option 'no subfolders" is chosen. In my case its a "year" folder, which probably comes from the general settings. Actually I would expect that no subfolder is created when this option is chosen.
This behaviour has been submitted twice, but without any useful comments.
I just would like to add that I'm just SOOOO happy that Zotfile exists, makes working my bibliographies just so much more fluent. Thanks a lot to the programmer (s?).

The most relevant issues seem to be:

https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/381
According to these issues, the problem might be related to Zotero's "Linked Attachment Base Directory" function.
You could check what happens if you revert to absolute paths in Zotero's preferences: Advanced -> Files and Folders.
If you're using Zotero on multiple setups, this might not provide a proper workaround.
