Need supporting for multiple libraries and storage folders

edited January 18, 2022
Just like Endnote or Noteexpress, such as:

library XXX1.sqlite file with XXX1.storage folder
library XXX2.sqlite file with XXX2.storage folder
library XXX3.sqlite file with XXX3.storage folder

library XXX1.enl file with XXX1.Data folder in endnote
library XXX1.ndb file with XXX1.Attachments folder in noteexpress
  • https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/multiple_profiles

    But we recommend using collections or group libraries instead.
  • thx, but:

    1. the group libraries using the same zotero.sqlite file and storage folder, it is better to be seprated sqlite file and folders such as:
    library XXX1.sqlite file with XXX1.storage folder
    library XXX2.sqlite file with XXX2.storage folder

    2. Zotero -p works,but I just need the multiple libraries and storage folders instead of multiple Zotero profiles or instances. The real needs is:one Zotero profiles and one instance and mltiple libraries and storage folders.

    3. seprated libraries and storage folders could be easily shared with other people using the USB flash drive or other removable storage.
  • Unlikely to happen, I'm afraid.
    In most scenarios, using groups (with sync, different level permissions, online interface etc) are a better way of sharing libraries and collaborating than mucking around with USB sticks, and for the use cases where completely separated libraries are really needed, separate profiles are quite workable, while also offering the additional flexibility they do.
  • multiple libraries and storage folders could also work with group libraries as well.

    local:multiple libraries and storage folders

    one group with one library and storage folder
