Suddenly the information of linking to file was useless.

forthyglory
I linked my files (over 2000) to the references in Zotero by using "add link."
But suddenly most of link do not work.
So I tried to resync my local data which was backup to server.
But after sync, my local data has been changed automatically into being useless for those links.

    we'd need more details. Did you check where the links were pointing to? What do you mean by "changed automatically into being useless"? Zotero does not change attached links during sync, so something else is going on here.

    I want to check, but I don't know how to see the link information in each files. I saved my normal library, but when I load that, the links which that library have are erased. So, I copied the folder in C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Zotero
    If you want to see this I can send.

    The easiest way to see attachment paths is probably via the Zutilo add-on:

    Any other add-on for Standalone version?
  • adamsmith
    you can use Zutilo on Standalone. Download the .xpi file, install from tools --> add-ons

    Here are the instructions for Zotfile: http://zotfile.com/#install-zotfile
    the ones for Zutilo are analogous.
