Zotfile : creating new item from the most recently modified file from download folder
Hello,
Is there any way to create a new item from the most recently modified file in the download folder and link the pdf to it ? It is great that Zotfile propose the option to link the most recent file to an item, but usually I don't have an item for the most recent file.
So I'm looking for a rapid way to rename the downloaded file using the convention established in the Zotfile options, move it to the folder hierarchy also established in the options, create a new item by extracting the metadata and linking the file to it.
How do other users do this ? This is something that I do every day, and I haven't found an easy way to do this in Zotero (I'm, have used Mendeley before). And I want to link my pdfs and not attach and thus copy them to the Zotero system files folder.
thanks for any ideas in advance

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.
Zotero then auto-runs retrieve metadata.
You can then rename & move using ZotFile
