After update to 7: linked attachment base directory does not seem to work

arildoh
Hi,

I updated to Zotero 7 this week, and after that, it seems that the old set-up I had of storing my attachements in a onedrive-folder does not seem to work anymore.

The settings are not changed. It is still specified that the "Attachment Base Directory" is set to my folder on onedrive.

However, now when I download the articles, it does not show up there anymore, but the pdfs are added to the "data directory location".

I have had no time in getting used to the new version, so am I missing something really obvious here?

    A Linked Attachment Base Directory setting has no effect on where PDFs get stored - it only affects where Zotero *looks* for PDFs when trying to open them (and you only need to set a LABD when you use more than one computer and the parent paths to your linked PDFs is different on each computer).

    Under Zotero v6, if your PDFs were being automatically moved to Onedrive when downloaded by the Zotero web connector, you were presumably use Zotfile to do that. It no longer works in Zotero v7. In its place you can use Zotmoov or Attanger. Both now use Zotero for file renaming, so you need to set that up in Zotero settings.
