Upgrade StorageZotfile and Zotero beta 5
I'm very new to Zotero. I'm running beta 5 (seems ready to go golden to me). I just discovered Zotfile, but I can't get it running in Zotero Standalone. Is it simply not compatible with beta 5 Standalone yet?

bwiernikYou need to install the Zotfile 5 beta from GitHub for it work with the Zotero beta.

shermanwilcoxHmmm... downloaded Zotfile 5 beta, attempted to install. Nothing seems to have happened. Thank for the help. Maybe I should just wait for final versions of both to be released.

kithaironSee the thread here for an instruction about how to install zotfile (5.0b3) into zotero 5: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/65578/solved-zotfile-for-beta-not-working#latest

shermanwilcoxThanks kithairon. That was easy (but puzzling, why doesn't the original zip/xpi work?).
-
bwiernikI am guessing you just downloaded the zip directly from GitHub. This places the contents inside a folder in the top level of the zip file (e.g., Zotfile.zip->Zotfile->Files). The Files need to be in the top level of the zip/xpi.

shermanwilcoxAha! Yes, looking inside the zip directly with BetterZip lets me see that now. Thanks again to all.
