Change the filename manually
I have many attachments under one single item, including the preprints, the publicated version and the slides of the same paper. Although the titles can be renamed manully, the same filename would cause confusion when I open them in pdf reader at the same time. So I wonder is there a way to change the filename of each pdf?
I think neither Zotero's build-in "Rename file from parent metadata" nor "Rename attachments" in the Zotfile can meet the requirement. The only way I realized is to use the plug-in named ZoteRename. However, it is not compatible with the latest Zotero version.

bwiernikSelect the attachment item and then click the title (bold text) in the right pane.

privatizer@bwiernik Thanks for your reply. Changing the title only works in Zotero and not in the file system.

bwiernikedited January 8, 2021Check the box in the pop up window that says “rename file” when you change the title

privatizer@bwiernik Finally works, thank you! I misunderstood "associated file" as "related item".

dcocharroThanks @bwiernik ! That feature is not obvious at all.
