Automatically importing files

victorbe · August 10, 2012

Is there any way to select a folder on my computer to automatically import files into Zotero once I've saved a file into that folder?

Not in Zotero itself, but there is a third-party plugin called Zotfile that can do this. See http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html

Hi,

isn't the export possible via Export menu?
Just to select CSV?

MAG - not sure how that relates to this file, so please start a new thread - but Zotero doesn't export to CSV.

I think all data all in a table, so it should be possible to export as txt or csv. Hopefully. That and import only a list of ISBN number would be a very good solution and helpfull thing in Zotero.

Best regards,
MAG

MAG, as adamsmith said, it is not clear what you are trying to say. Please start a new thread and provide more detailed description of what you are trying to do.

Importing a list of ISBN numbers has been requested previously and will probably be included with the next major release of Zotero. For some progress, see https://github.com/zotero/zotero/pull/164
