Configuring Zotero connector for Chrome
I'm running Zotero Connector v4.0.26 on Chrome v41.0.2272.89 (64-bit).
When I use it to store an article from NASA/ADS (with my standalone Zotero open) it stores the metadata and the PDF, which is ok.
But when I use it to store an article from arXiv, it decides to also store a snapshot and 'Comments' along with the PDF (I believe storing the PDF was added recently since not long ago Zotero wouldn't download PDFs from arXiv).
I don't need that snapshot or the 'Comments' file, but I can't find an option in the Zotero Connector extension to tell it to stop downloading that.
Am I missing something here or is that decision (ie: don't create a snapshot from NASA/ADS but create one from arXiv) hard-coded into the extension?

The current arXiv translator (https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/arXiv.org.js) always stores a snapshot of the article. There is currently no way to disable this from the Chrome Connector extension at least.
Since there will always be a PDF available at an arXiv article, what is the necessity of also saving a snapshot? Could this be removed entirely, at least until the connector extension is updated with the ability to choose to download a snapshot or not?
What I did find was the option to disable saving a snapshot from the connector, but only when saving to zotero.org.
It still downloads the 'Comments', but I guess I can live with that.
Cheers.
