multiple files being imported, renamed & attached
Hiya
recently when I have been using Zotero (& I use Zotfile) to add citations and files, when I dowload the file I want to add, I have it set up so it looks at my "downloads" folder and asks if I want to import that most recently downloaded file and rename it from the reference metadata.
I click on the popup that asks if I want to import that file, and nothing seems to happen. Then the cursor into the rainbow beachball, and then TWO files are imported - the one I wanted and the next PDF in that folder - both renamed from the metadata.
(I think there might be a second popup that says zotfile is doing something?)
How can I get it to stop doing this? also, how do I un-attach the second file (I can rename it, but I want to move it to its own reference in Zotero, and I can't figure out how to do that)?

regarding my second question - there is no other parent item to drag the second attachment to. Do I need to create that parent item first or is there a way to unattach the file and keep it in Zotero (either trying to create a parent file from metadata or doing it later)
