Upgrade Storageduplicate files when filename is changed
I locate the pdf and add it to the record. I then rename the file from parent metadata; it shows only one file (using, nicely, the information from the record).
But when I copy the file (which displays as a pdf), by dragging and dropping it, TWO files show up in the destination folder- both the original and the re-named pdf.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
When I do so, instead of just a single pdf file, there is one file with the previous filename (e.g., sciencedirect111122.pdf) and another file with the new name (e.g., Smith et al. 2005). both of these files are sitting inside a parent folder.
After renaming and before dragging the file to the desktop, if you click Show File to expose the parent folder of the file in Zotero, do you see one or two files?
At what point are you getting two files? When you use the rename option?
Before renaming, 1 file.
After renaming, 2 files.
I checked twice.
Send in a Report ID after the rename.
Does this happen for all files, or only some?
Do you have the file open in another program at the time?
Sorry about that!
