Any way of importing file links as links
Hi,
I export an entry as 'Zotero RDF' that has an attachment of type 'link to file'. Depending on my setting for 'Export Files' two things happen when I import that entry:
A) If "Export Files' is on I get the entry back with an attached file instead of a 'link to file'.
B) If 'Export files' is off I get the entry back without any attachment.
Is there any way I can export entries so they can be imported with a preserved 'link to file' attachment?
Thanks for any help,
Rickard

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.
Do you know if this is by design, or a "bug"?
It seems useful to me to be able to export and re-import some selected entries without loosing file links. Not to mention that it fulfills the 'principle of least astonishment' for export + import in Zotero native format to not change entries.
