Upgrade Storagebeta build & zotfile: extract highlights doesn't work?
Hey! I'm pretty new to all of this so apologies if this is a silly question.
I'm currently using the Zotero beta and built-in PDF reader and I have Zotfile installed. When I finish highlighting a PDF, I would expect to be able rightclick on the file in Zotero, Manage Attachments -> Extract Annotations in order to get my highlighted sections exported to a Note. However whenever I do this I get a little popup window in the lower right hand corner with the name of the document and a red "X", and nothing is extracted.
Am I doing something wrong? Or does Zotfile not work right in the Beta? Or something else entirely?!

dstillmanYou don’t use ZotFile to extract annotations created with the new PDF reader, which provides many ways to add annotations to notes itself.

yannseznecoh ok thanks I think I've found it, when I'm in the PDF reader I can bring up the notes section with the button in the upper right, and then add a new item note from annotations. cheers!

dstillmanYou can also drag and drop, use the annotation context menu in the PDF view or annotation sidebar, or create a note from annotations in the item context menu in the items list.
