'rename file from parent metadata' nothing happens

Hey,

when I click 'rename file from parent metadata' in my Zotero standalone the PDF I want to be renamend does not change the name to the metadata of the file above. I just happens nothing, not even an error or something.

This promblem is new and never happened bevor althoug I didn change anything.
can you help me out with this?
Thanks
Renan
  • I once had the same problem.
    I think it has two possibilities:
    1. The pdf file is open on other program. --> Close the file and try again.
    2. There is already the file with the same name. --> Check the folder. If there is one, update Zotero and try again.

    It may help you, I hope.
  • Or:
    3. The file already has the desired name with the exception of capitalisation differences. At least in older versions of Z (not sure whether this is still the case) this would lead to a silent fail on the rename operation.
  • Perfect, thanks so much guys, it was "1. The pdf file is open on other program." Cheers
