Upgrade StorageZotfile not moving files?
Hello,
I recently set up Zotero (5.0.91) on my new MacBook and I am now having difficulty using Zotfile (5.0.16): when I add an article via the Zotero Chrome extension, on my new Macbook the file gets saved to my Zotero data folder, instead of my own PDF folder where I would like it to go.
This works fine on my old machine, which still uses Zotero 5.0.90.
I don't know whether the problem is Zotero or Zotfile...
Here are the details:
new Macbook (macOS 10.15.7)
* Zotero 5.0.91
* Zotfile 5.0.16
* PDF wrongly saving to Zotero data folder
old Macbook (macOS 10.15.6)
* Zotero 5.0.90
* Zotfile 5.0.16
* PDF correctly moved to my preferred location
Cheers!
