Upgrade Storagelinked pdf not in storage directory can't be synchronized in new computer
HI
I have install zotero on a novel computer, and I did transfer my old storage data into that new one, and synchronized. All files in that storage are now well synchronized with the new computer. Fine
But I have around 10% of pdf that where not in the storage directory but linked to different directories (linked and some store in other directories)
I did kept the same pathway for both computer only the user name changed..
I guess this is the problem, it seems to not have changed that username, so it is stucked it can"t find those pdf...
Is there a way to make change to that new zotero those old links to that old user name...??
Thanks

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.

(Don't touch the data directory setting.)
You'll want to change this on the computer where the files can be found (so that the files get converted to relative paths), sync that computer, sync the other computer, and then set the Linked Attachment Base Directory to the equivalent location on that computer.
