Selectively download snapshots?

bert.lloyd.89
Dear Zotero community,

Is it possible to have Zotero download a snapshot only if certain conditions are met?

For example, could I set up something like "only download if Item Type = Webpage," or "download except when Item Type = Journal Article"?

Or even more complex logic, like "download snapshot, except if ( (Item Type = Journal Article) AND (pdf of article successfully downloaded) )?

Many thanks, and my apologies if this has already been covered - I was not able to find an answer with some searching.

Best,
BL

    No. The only thing you can do to customize Snapshot behavior is to right-click on the Save to Zotero icon --> Save to Zotero and then Save Webpage (with Snapshot) or (without Snapshot)

    Thank you @adamsmith , that is a useful option.

    (And it looks as though the defaults have changed since I started using Zotero such that my question is no longer so relevant.)

    Best,

    For what it's worth, we're probably still saving more Snapshots that is always warranted on otherwise supported pages (i.e. where we're saving a PDF already).
    If you see such cases, let us know (by posting here with the URL) and we'll see if we agree and in that case remove the Snapshot.
