Just wanted to say that I like the new icon and appreciate that zotero updated it so quickly. For my taste, the red Z posted by Dan is even nicer. Makes me look forward to an eventual update of the overall Zotero UI and toolbar.

Peter100, let's move this to github. Just open a ticket or maybe hijack the other ticket with a description of what your goal is. I will let you know whether it fits into zotfile and point at the relevant code passages to get you started with the im…

Peter100, I have no idea about Devonthink but I guess it would be possible if zotfile saved all extracted annotations as a text file in some location. Here is a github issue about this: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/139 As I mentioned t…
-
d.bobak, the problem is fixed in zotfile 3.3 (dev version on github). The version also includes some improvements for word spacing but it's still going to take some time until it comes out (for now, 3.2 is stuck in the review process). Note that the…

Here is the issue: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/4537 It would be great if you can leave the pdf were it is because I am using that link. Don't expect any quick result but there is a good chance that they will fix it at some point (I will…

Same here. Poppler based extraction works. Do you mind when I report this to pdf.js with a link to the file? Thanks!
-
auster, sorry for the delay. Can you tell me exactly the steps that lead to this error (with example webpage and what you click)? zotfile 3.2: Unfortunately, zotfile was rejected by the mozilla review process because it bundles a modified version…
-
Thanks for the detailed bug report. Can you try the 3.2 beta and the steps that lead to the error including an example page from amazon or whatever? You can download the beta here.

Using the color of the extracted annotation to format the extracted text in Zotero notes is currently not supported. It's possible, however, and shouldn't be too hard. A user friendly implementation, however, requires some effort. I am not going to …

bwiernik, there is a ticket on github for this and I agree that it would be nice. Let us move this discussion to github. ZotFile beta: Here is a new version that fixes the problem and reverts some of the changes. Changing from linked to imported a…
-
Okay, thanks! The javascript API allows you to change the linkMode so I assumed that is okay. Already changed things back and the beta only had a very small number of users of which a subset might have been affected. I will communicate to them. By…
-
Thanks! That is caused by the zotfile beta. I posted a warning and took the beta down. Is there any way to do this though? I used to remove an attachment and recreate it when the user changed it from imported to linked (or vise-versa). That triggere…
-
For all users of the beta: Please deinstall the current version and go back to the main release of zotfile. A recent change I made is problematic for some users because it changes the linkMode of attachments. Here are more details: https://forums.z…

Currently, zotfile checks whether a file with the same filename exists and adds a suffix in the moveFile function. So the filename is first generated based on metadata and the suffix is only added when the files is moved. You might just want to focu…
-
MILKLIMuser, zotfile only avoids the suffix if you rename the same file and it already has the correct name. I am still still using suffixes when there are multiple copies of the same file (e.g. because of multiple attachments for the same item). Th…
-
bwiernik, I can't reproduce this. It's working fine for me. Can you be more specific? (zotfile incorrectly showed the "Selected item is an attachment, a note, or a collection" error message when it did not find any files in the source folder. That …
-
Yes, the Zotero beta will make a large difference. Zotfile 3.1 still causes Zotero to reindex for certain operations (e.g. renaming linked attachments). The Zotfile 3.1 beta should solve that problem as well. So I suggest that you first try out the …
-
MILKLIMuser, I assume your problem is related to the fact that Zotero reindexes the pdf whenever you rename an attachment with zotfile. Maybe you turned on indexing recently and that explains the change in performance. The reindexing only happens wh…
-
Thanks, kithairon! Let me know if you have a pdf that you think is worse compared to before and I can check it out. MILKLIMuser, it's hard to say anything without more information. Do you "Attach stored copy of file(s)" or use a "custom location" …
-
Beta test: Here is an updated version of the beta with some additional fixes and two additional changes. First, the extraction now runs in the background so that you can continue to use Zotero while zotfile is extracting annotations. Second, this ve…
-
kithairon, thanks for the report. That was exactly what I was looking for. The underline issue is fixed now as well as another small problem. The link above refers to the updated beta now.
-
Beta test: The next zotfile version includes some improvements for the extraction of annotations. I updated the extraction code to the most recent pdf.js version and made some performance improvements. It should now work with more pdfs and run about…
-
Now it should finally work! Thanks to aurimasv for helping out! bwiernik, set the 'openPdfWin' setting back to "" and try out the current development version on github. Please report back with your windows version and the pdf viewer.
-
That's too bad. I was hoping that it works now but my Windows access is very limited. You can set the setting to something like 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe' but the idea is that zotfile finds the path itself. If s…

Go to annotation in pdf With two recent changes in Zotero (see this and https://github.com/zotero/zotero/pull/450 pull request), the zotfile feature Go to annotation in pdf is going to be much more useful! Currently, the changes are part of the Zo…
-
Philipp Rommel, I will make a separate post about this in a second. krcrouse and Olib170, you are right about that and it's a bug but I think unrelated to Olib170 request and the proposed behavior doesn't really make sense. What if I have two atta…
-
No, that is not planned but a user contribution would be welcome.

Zotfile 3.1 is now under review with a some additional features and some bug fixes. At the same time, the zotfile website had to move from it's previous home to a new location. It's now available at www.zotfile.com and hosted by github pages so that…
-
aurimas, pdf.js doesn't support the extraction of annotation itself so the version included in zotfile is modified. updateMarkup is one of the function I added. Others are charInAnnot and makeCharDims (I think they are the important once). The other…

yourwelcome, your problem is solved in the current development version. I also posted on your original thread
