Annotating images
I have been using Zotero for ower 10 years, adding thousands of JPEGs to document entries and annotating a large number of individual JPEGs I produced in archives. For example, for a single JPEG, I noted the date of the historical document, noted names, described the content, made comments and so on. Since my last update of Zotero I notice this possibility is gone, I can still see the old notes but cannot even correct them. For new JPEGs there is no alternative besides the title or tagging field (both much to small) or producing an individual parent entry for each single JPEG. And this would pose the question how these parent entries can be regrouped in a document. In the forums it is suggested to fuse images to a Pdf and then attach them to the entry, but this is a lot of work and does not allow anymore to find back specific images with their own name (like IMG2495), as far as I can see.
It would be a pity to have go back to an earlier version of Zotero since the new one has many advantages. But I wonder why this specific feature that has been so useful has been abolished and if it is planned to reintroduce it. Am I the only one with this working method?

I also suspect that a lot of people are doing what you are doing here using Tropy which was developed to handle archival photography.
I tried Tropy before but found the system complicated and lengthy. Above all, Zotero is great because you can store and find everything in one place
thanks for evoking zotfile in your article, I will install it again.
