Attach a link to a directory, not a file
If I'm not mistaken it is impossible now add an attachment in form of a directory. I have many sources split into several pdf documents. And it would be handy to attach them as a directroy (containing all of them), not separalty each file.
Is it somehow possible?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
(If the scans are two pages each, you could use PDFScissors to split them.)
If you really don't want to do that, you can just attach a link to one of the files. Using "Show File" in Zotero will then open the directory. For all purposes that seems like it'd be the same as linking to it, no?
My workflow could benefit from having attached directories, that's why I'm asking about this feature and a possibility to implement it.
The approach by adamsmith is very attractive, but in this case I cannot distinguish between a real file and a directory, so I need a separate marker for the type of the attachment (only one file or one of many).
Thanks for your input!
