Upgrade StorageZotfile doesn't automatically rename/manage attachments when added
Hi,
When adding a file to Zotero, it correctly retrieves its metadata & creates a parental item. However, Zotfile is then supposed to automatically rename & move the attachment, as given in its settings - but it doesn't! For each new item, I manually have to "right click" -> "Manage Attachments" -> "Rename Attachments". This works correctly! What should I try so this happens automatically, without having to tell Zotfile myself?
My settings:
box "Use Zotero to rename" is unchecked (Zotfile renaming rules)
box "Automatically rename new attachments" is on 'always' (Zotfile advanced settings)
Zotero 5.0.54
Zotfile 5.0.8
Mac 10.12.6

Is automatic retrieval pretty new to Zotero? I use Zotero now for 4-5 years and I have always just dragged & dropped files into Zotero where metadata - as good as possible - were then retrieved automatically. Maybe we don't mean the same. Anyway, I understand Zotfile cannot do right now what I wished for but perhaps in the future!
