Renaming linked files: Renaming rules
Hi everyone,
I was hoping that someone would have some advice on the renaming rules of linked files (in Zotero itself, not ZotFile). Is there a preliminary list of rules that do work? I've read that this feature is still in progress but I thought I could still ask.
I have "extensions.zotero.attachmentRenameFormatString" currently set as {%c_}{%y_}{%t{50}}. Is it possible to skip the "et al." that is added if the entry contains several authors (so instead only adding the first author to the file name)?
E.g. instead of Jobert et al._2007_Local acceptance of wind energy Factors of succes.pdf renaming it as Jobert_2007_Local acceptance of wind energy Factors of succes.pdf
All the best and thank you in advance for any tips.

I tried using ZotFile for it but it doesn't seem to work without moving the files.
But then again maybe the problem sits in front of the computer, not "in" the computer...
I got it halfway working but I'm still doing something wrong. When I click on "Manage attachement" - "Rename attachment" then it renames the linked file in zotero but not in my actual folder where the file is stored.
