Hi! @jws02459: Yes, it is compatible with Firefox 3.0 - 10.*. Can you be more specific abou 'stopped working'? @igg: What do you mean with the 'renaming option doesn't work'? What exactly are you doing and what happens? Are you trying to rename a …

Here is a version that should fix the bug in the preference pane for non-mac systems. I can't really test on windows or linux it but I think it should work... http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile_2b.xpi New Features in beta 5+ - extraction of…

@ajlyon: Do you mean the item key of the parent item or the attachment? attachment is a little more complicated because of zotfile's structure. You might be interested to know that zotfile is on github now: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile @mark…

No, I can't do that. I am using zotero's linked attachments for 'Custom location' and they have a fixed location. That is the way zotero handels attachments and I won't create a third attachment type (next to stored and linked attachments). Here is …

I am still not 100% sure what you mean with 'zotfile folder'. I think you are not taking about the tablet folder, which is portable. I assume you mean the 'location of files' under general settings. You can make this portable by selecting 'Attach st…

@jflycn: yes, I added that feature in an earlier beta (I assume you are speaking about tablet folder). I think it's the default now and should just work like that out of the box. Let me know if you are having problems with it. If you are not speaki…

There is a new zotfile beta for version 2, which streamlines the process of annotating pdf files on your tablet, extracts pdf annotations and saves them as a zotero note: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/18737/3/zotfile-reader-zotero-plugin-to-w…

Hi schuessi, sorry but don't think that I will add that. It's a pretty different from a programming perspective and I rather leave the way files are handled after deleting a zotero item to zotero....

Hi, here is a new version with cross-platform extraction of pdf annotations! Joe Devietti, the developer of the cross-platform solution, is still doing some testing and there might still be some glitches. But my experience is that it already works g…

Zotfile 2.0 is now developed on github: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile Code contributions and pull requests are welcome! I have already implemented some small requests (accents are removed in file names, functions are renamed ...) and more wil…
-
@mark: yes, that is exactly how the deleting works. I can add a message that reports about the moving about files (maybe there already is one?) and also mentions what happened with the folder. Yes, the terms will change. I just did the quick fix for…

Hi, here is a small update that fixes the problems with the 'scan tablet' function. That is the only change for this version but it should fix the bug some reported here. Let me know if the problem persists. http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfil…

@theed: Anything reproducible would be very helpful to solve that problem. Have you checked the FF error console after a file didn't work? That might be a good starting point and maybe it's all I need. Can you also check whether the problem is conne…

Hi Julian, should be possible... I would try out the extractor on this mac though before you get started with one of the pdfs in your library. You can also go for zotfile 2.0 beta instead of zotfile reader. In theory, it should be a one click thing …

watart, yes there is. check out my post on this thread from Sep 25th. The current beta version is 2.0b3: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/18737/2/zotfile-reader-zotero-plugin-to-work-with-tablet-ipad-android-tablets-etc

I think the zotero database structure already has a lot of advantages over other databases that would be very useful for additional annotations support. I am particularly thinking about the fact that child notes are independent items. They can be ta…
-
@jamesnicholson: I would start with the standard things: (a) restart FF, (b) restart you computer, (c) reinstall zotfile. Can you do these things and follow up here again? @theed: Someone else reported that the moving sometimes fails. Maybe you are…
-
@mark: Thanks for the wording suggestions! I will think about a way to transfer the zotfile setup across computers or also from Zotero for FF to Standalone. But that will certainly come a little later. @Watari: I have updated the compatibility of z…

@sergiomf & romanov-umich: I have put your suggestions on my list. I will most likely implement the first point, probably the second too but I am not sure yet about the third. Note that all updates will take some time because I am pretty tied up…

@mark: I was waiting for the hassel with the one menu to come up. I am not sure about that either and was hoping to add an option about this. But I am not able to figure out how I can control menu items in the main right-click menu. Sure, I can add …
-
yes, it does. Thanks! Nothing about the file and the line I guess? Usually FF also lists that. I will look into this for sure and follow up here on the forum. Just might take a while before I find the time.
-
hi Tom, I guess that the zotfile function crashes at some point after the pdf got moved but before the tag gets added (when a zotfile function crashes FF and Zotero are unaffected). That would explain why the tag is sometimes missing. Can you check …
-
@theed: I will think about your first and second point and might implement some changes in a future version. Probably not for 2.0 though. Meanwhile, you can move individual attachments by clicking on the attachment and not the zotero item. That shou…

@Jeff: Someone else reported problems with the scan reader function on windows. I will look into it but it probably is going to take some time. To help me pinpoint the bug, can you be very specific on what you are doing? Something like 1) Move file …
-
@theed: I will look into the first point. Just have to find a windows pc. About the second point: The foreground/background option is now hidden (you can access it through 'about:config' 'extensions.zotfile.tablet.mode'. 1 is background and 2 is for…
-
No one followed up on any of the bug reports so I assume that the problems are solved. I was going to move forward with zotfile 2.0 and submit it for review at mozilla. Just wanted to check in with the about 60 users of 2.0 whether they have any is…

@jones: When you use subfolders based on zotero collections, your 'Manage Att.' menu should look something like this: http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile_files/subfolder.png (with the stuff below 'Move to Subfolder' reflecting the subfolder you…

@tom7320: You should take a look at the 2.0 beta: http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile_200b3.xpi Someone else reported that files did not get renamed but I think I solved that problem. I am not sure right now what happens with the file in zotero…

@romanov-umich: That's currently not possible. I agree that it should though and I will add this option. Might take a while though. Meanwhile you could use the Zotero renaming rules but they don't allow you to use the volume...

@ zanger: I am not completely sure what you are doing so can you be more specific? How did you set up zotfile reader? Are you using the background mode? Are you using sub-folders and which option exactly (collection based or user-defined)? How did y…
