Zotfile automatic renaming not working
When I add a new entry--either through Zotero Connector on Chrome or dragging a pdf into a folder--a new entry is created and the attachment is renamed according to Zotero's default preferences. Only when I manually right-click on the entry and select "Rename attachments" under "Manage Attachments" is the pdf renamed.
I'm running Zotfile 5.0.16 and Zotero 5.0.89 on Windows 10. Under Zotfile Preferences, I have "Use Zotero to Rename" unchecked and "Automatically rename new attachments" set to "Always rename". Under Zotero General Preferences I have "Rename linked files" checked. I've played around with different settings/re-installing Zotero/etc. Automatic renaming worked on my old computer, but I just got a new computer and can't seem to get the settings right. Is there anything obvious that I'm missing?

(BTW, if you use stored files, there is a positive consequence of the issue described by adamsmith. It allows you to control when to keep original filenames when using the browser connector, see here.)
