Upgrade StorageUser poll - workflow to integrate external PDFs
Dear all,
it would be quite nice to have a user poll on the workflow how people are currently using ZOTERO. This will probably determine which features are immediately necessary and which are not so necessary...
80% of my records are entered by PUBMED nowadays while I get the corresponding PDFs not always on the same day. Usually I store them by the manufacturer's filename (which is rather useless) in a temporary directory for batch printing (which is irrelevant) before they are finally moved to a central server where they are being indexed. Linking therefore a ZOTERO entry with the final PDF destination is time consuming, errorprone and may be forgotten.
What about advising users to store their PDFs with a standardized filename (for example the MD5 hash of the title) and give ZOTERO a few directories where to look for the corresponding PDF?

kristleYes, where should we post this request? My Zotero user community is approximately 200 economist/industry analyst types and we would really benefit from this feature.
