Zotfile not doing anything
Hi!
I am using the latest Zotero (4-somethiing) and just installed Zotfile.
I set a new incoming folder and one to store my pdfs (e.g. Documents/Incoming and Documents/Zotero Library) and set the naming format for the directories (author/year) and files (author/year/titles etc)...
However, despite restarting multiple times, and placing a pdf in the incoming folder, nothing is happening...?
Zotfile is there as an addon and I can select preferences (as above), but I can't see anything in any menus to do anything to transfer the old attachments to the folder specified or check the incoming folder for new attachments.
Have I missed something?

Obviously I do appreciate that this is an extension but wondered if anyone here could offer advice...
Start by moving the file to Zotero manually and see if ZotFile does what you want then.
However:
Some of my file attachements are now at
Desktop/Zotero Library/author/year
But the rest remain in Zotero's default storage folder (I am using Linux).
Is there a way to refresh so that all the Zotero file attachments are kept in the correct location specified in Zotfile, i.e.:
Desktop/Zotero Library/author/year
Any help much appreciated?
N.B. Do I, perhaps, need to click 'Revert to absolute paths...' in preferences? From the description it isn't 100% clear what this button actually does?
