Zotero automatically outputs md notes to desktop. How to stop it?

It automatically outputs MD notes to the desktop. Some are folders including a MD note and an attachment subfolder, and the rest are single MD files.

I know this is the way that Zotero exports notes as a form of MD. But, I do not need it to generate 'em all the time. Any way to stop it? Thanks.

    That's not something Zotero does. Did you install a plugin that does this?
  • jingboxia
    Yes, I guess the issue is related to Better Note plugin.
    And when I check "Tools"-->"Sync Manager", I can see the Markdown Path, but I have no idea how to change that path to another directory other than the Desktop.

    "Sync Manager" is not something Zotero has, so that is all part of that plugin.

    You would need to contact the plugin developer for this, or report to where they provide support.

    You also have the option to disable the plugin under Tools > Plugins, if you do not use the plugin. It's not clear if you do.

    Thank you, @enozkan.

    It's from the plugin Better Notes.

    You must have manually set up syncing for this specific note in the plugin's export dialog. If you want to synchronize the markdown file to another directory, simply export the note again and choose a different directory, otherwise you can unsync it in the sync manager.

    If you do not want the note to be synced, do not check `sync the note` the next time you export a note to markdown.
