is it posible to delete the orignal file after attaching a stored copy of the file

lesanecho

I am using sci-hub.se for downloading publications and I have to add the file (the pdf) to the file (the grabbed info from the web using the web addon) I downloaded by attaching a stored copy of the file in Zotero. but after doing that the original file is there on the original downloaded directory. Is there any possible way to make Zotero delete the original file when I attach the file?

Dragging with a modifier key -- Shift on Linux and Windows and (I think) Cmd on Mac -- will "move" the item into Zotero, i.e. delete it from its original location.

thanks !!! this is magic. it actually worked when I drag the item directly from IDM list.
