  • Hi SiGi, can you check this version out and let me know whether everything works: http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/ZotFile_103b.xpi There is an additional preference called 'renameFormat_patent' which is the rule for renaming patents. %a is the…
  • Hi SiGi, that should be easy to implement. I will do when I have some time probably next week. Can you point me at a website with patents so that I can add one to my zotero lib? It might be the case that your earlier problem was connected to i…
  • hi! I can't add a lot to what amacom73 and gregsharp/adamsmith have already said... gregsharp's description is all I know about the error and how to reproduce it. The problem is that I just copied the code for placing the icon in zotero from…
  • That's a nice idea but I wont be able to do it in the near future. But maybe this helps: I never have to browse to the "zotfile import folder" because I use a default download folder (which you can set on firefox's main preference tab) so that fi…
  • hey, stervbo and Keith: I have uploaded a new version which allows you to a) use journal abbreviation ('%s' in the renameFormat option), b) replace blanks with underscores '_' (option: replace_blanks), and c) change the string which is added af…
  • Hi, I have updated the plugin with Mikko's suggestions. http://jlegewie.com/zotfile.html The changes: 1) confirm dialog (you can turn this of with the confirmation option) 2) You can now decide whether you want to link or import the…
  • That's great, Mikko. Thanks! Do you mid if I add this stuff to zotfile? I thought about providing two further options through about:config: a) whether people want to be ask for a confirmation and b) whether they want to link or attach the file to …
  • Hi, JM: the problem is that I really don't know anything about the stuff which is related to placing the icon in Zotero. I just copied the code from lytero and changed what I thought should be changed. That's also the reason why lytero and zotfil…
  • Hi, yusuf martin and adam.smith, can one of you send me an email (it's on the webpage) so that I can send you a test version of zotfile back. This version is only supposed to help me finding out where the error comes from (which I cannot do on …
  • Hey Lanius, I anticipated the problem with syncing because I expected that Zotero only syncs stored pdfs and not linked attachments. I guess this is an disadvantage of the linked attachment approach. The advantage (at least for myself) is that I can…
  • Hey, JM, you are fine with 1.5b1 which is a newer release then 1.5 Preview 3.6 (I will change this on the website). In regard to the problem with the paper-clip button somebody else had the same problem and told me that it worked after he…
  • okay, I will try to look into this and hope that there is an easy solution...
  • Hi Adam, which version of Zotero are you using? I have never tried zotfile with 1.0 and I am pretty sure that it does not work with 1.0. If you are using 1.5, I can try to figure out what is going wrong but would be surprised if the error is linu…
  • Actually there should be a small button showing a paper-clip right next to the "add note" button. I have added a screenshot to the webpage. I hope this makes it clear... http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html I know that there mi…
  • This is an attempt to integrate an automatic rename feature into Zotero. It automatically renames, moves, and attaches pdfs (or other) files to Zotero items by pressing a button. http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html It does not work …
  • Hi, I have written a small Zotero Plugin which automatically renames and moves the most recently modified file (pdf, doc, or rtf) in a certain folder using metadata from the currently selected Zotero item and attaches the file to the selected Zote…
  • Hi, there are actually no files directly in Zotero's storage folder because all the files are placed in subfolders. Since zotfile does not look for files in subfolders, it does not find any files and shows the error message. But I also think that…
  • I wrote a small Zotero plugin which deals with this issue. It is a different approach but you might be interested in it. With the plugin you basically have to do three things: 1) capture the item (which I think works quit well), 2) download the pdf,…
  • Hi, can you be a bit more specific and tell me which preference you changed to "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wi2i2oeo.default\zotero"? I assume that it was extensions.zotfile.source_dir !? This is the …
