It is great to see some plugins popping up that try to replace ZotFile's functionality! It might still be the case that certain tablet files from zotfile are inaccessible from Zotero 7. To address this problem, I put together a small Zotero 7 plugi…

Hi everyone! I completely understand that this is frustrating for people who have relied on zotfile for many years. Let me just clarify three things: 1) Unfortunately, I am not going to update zotfile for Zotero 7 myself. I looked into it again but…
-
@tim820. Although I don't necessarily agree with your sentiment particularly towards the zotero developers, you raise an important point about file compatibility. Some files might be lost for people who are using zotfile to send and get files from t…

@darcyparks @jadoff I just pushed a new version with the fix (5.0.15). Let me know if that fixes the problem. Thanks @dstillman.
-
Should be there. It's now called "Attach New File"
-
For everyone experiencing problems with 5.0.12: Update to v5.0.13 and report any remaining issues here. Note that opening PDFs is now handled by Zotero. That means the zotfile preferences 'openPdfWin', 'openPdfLinux', 'openPdfMac_skim', 'openPdfMac'…
-
Just some clarifications from the zotfile author: I am not planing any major update to zotfile right now. I will do some maintenance but I am not going to chase down possible bugs. Most things that get reported here are not easily reproducible eithe…

@bwiernik I added a warning to the Mozilla page with instructions. Pretty clearly visible but I will just take it down in the future. Still addon extension for Zotero so that users can just download and then double click the file would be great.
-
This is great! Pretty unrelated but it does remind me that this would still be great (Integration of zotfile's pdf annotation extraction into Zotero): https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/1018

@mc288 This is fixed in 5.0.3. Just published it. You can wait for the automatic update or do it manually with "Tool -> Add-ons -> Tools for all Add-ons (the small, drop-down wheel in the top right corner) -> Update" in Zotero.
-
@warguelles, can you get updated to 5.0.2? Just open Zotero, go to Tools->Add-ons, select the little settings wheel in the top right corner and click on "Check for Updates". Thanks!
-
I will attemp an automatic update down the line but not sure whether it's going to work. In any case, i don't think you loose your zotfile setting with a manual update but I can't guarantee it.
-
Important: If you installed in the last 30 min, please reinstall. Just follow the steps again.
-
Zotfile 5.0.1 for Zotero 5 is now online and the webpage was updated with new instructions. Just go to the zotfile webpage www.zotfile.com to get it. Note that I was not able to resolve all issues with zotfile 5.0 but I think it's mostly running sm…
-
I will put an easy to use xpi online shortly... @adamsmith Do you know more about the best way to handle the update? What happens when Mozilla approves the new version? The best solution would be that people on Zotero 5 get an automatic update and …

Great. Please report any bugs with the exact steps to reproduce and possibly any error messages: http://zotfile.com/#reporting-a-bug

@dragonfly, the ZotFile 5.0 beta does not work with Zotero 4.0.29.10 so you won't be able to do that. Please use the separate thread for anything about the beta. @mrhunt, correct, zotfile doesn't extract text from what you call the "standard annota…

For now you have to use the unbranded Firefox version to test this: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2016/07/29/extension-signing-availability-of-unbranded-builds/
-
Dan, what is the timeline for the official release of 5.0? Just asking because I don't find the time to finalize the update zotfile. Thanks!
-
There is a 5.0 branch on github (https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/tree/5.0). A lot of work went into that but I haven't touched it for six weeks or so. It's not tested and I don't recommend that anyone uses it for their daily work. It might well …
-
jfiduccia, that is pretty much impossible. Zotfile does not make any changes to the pdf so the problem must be related to something else...
-
@PooyaM, the pdf works for me without a problem... @thiagoafdoria, are you using version 4.2.6? @livingthingdan, "Manage Attachments -> Get from tablet". Don't remove the _tablet tag manually. That screws things up (as described in the document…
-
I can see the problem. Copy and paste from preview works pretty well but zotfile screws up the order. I think the problem is related to the order of the quadrilaterals for each annotation. zotfile could resort them based on their position on the pag…
-
Should be fixed now. Version 4.2.6 is under review. You can already download it from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zotfile/versions
-
Sorry, only doing bug fixes right now but pull requests are welcome...
-
IQQ, can you reduce the pdf to one relevant page? Unnecessary to deal with the 41MB file (and downloading is very slow). starstuff, no that is not how it works. You should get a popup "do you want to add the file in the source folder..." when there…
-
Please upload the pdf somewhere... The problem with poppler and non-ascii is known but I don't think it's going to get fixed anytime soon if ever. Mostly pdf.js now.
-
Thanks, my fault. Already fixed, I hope. 4.2.4 is under review and dev version on github should work now. Hope I didn't screw it up.
-
Okay, I hope it's fixed now. Might be a bug in OS.Path or rather how that is loaded in Standalone. Not sure though. Can you give this version I try and report back? There should be no debug messages. If you still run into a bug, use the clipboard or…
