Attachment Titles renamed automatically to Filenames

First of all, thank you so much to the developers for such an amazing update, I've been enjoying a lot. Just a little issue though. I was using Zotfile in Zotero 6 to rename and move my PDFs to a specific folder, which resulted in all my Attachment Titles being the same as the Filenames. However, following dstillman's recommendation, I now decided to keep the Attachment Titles simpler and used the provided code to change them all to "PDF". The problem is, the Attachment Title for all new papers imported using the Browser Connector are also being renamed to the Filename. I'm using Zotero 7's file renaming feature and I'm also using Zotmoov to move the files to my preferred folder. Could it be that Zotmoov is changing the Attachment Titles?

    Thank you for the quick response, dstillman. You're correct—Zotmoov does rename the Attachment Title when moving files. Interestingly, this wasn't the original behavior; it was later modified based on user requests. However, starting with version 1.1.8, Zotmoov developers introduced a hidden preference that allows you to enable or disable the renaming of Attachment Titles.

    For anyone who wants to disable this feature and isn't familiar with hidden preferences, you can do so by following these steps:

    1. Go to Settings -> Advanced -> Config Editor (at the bottom).
    2. Accept the warning by clicking "Accept the Risk and Continue."
    3. Search for "extensions.zotmoov.rename_title" and set it to "false."
