Upgrade StorageChoice of languange for renaming rules - ZotFile
Hi.
When running ZotFile in different Zotero profiles, respectively set to different languages (i.e. English, German) - the {%T~} wildcard for renaming goes in that language e.g. "journal article" / "zeitschriftenartikel". Would like to force ZotFile to use ONE language when substituting wildcards, irrespective of the language running in Zotero.
Probably not possible, because its an exotic use-case...
Cheers!

@qqbb -> that's a fine workaround for those that really need a solution, thanks!
