new versions: 2.2.2 adds an option to change the delimiter between authors (thanks to Gracile) and 2.2.3 now checks whether the selected attachments are valid, which should avoid a lot of errors! Top-level attachments, web attachments, and attachmen…

I won't be able to provide support over the next months - I have to find a job and finish a dissertation. Either someone here on the forum jumps in or you'll have to ask a tech-savvy friend.

@ Keith: Yes, you can renaming existing attachments. Just right click the zotero item or attachment and click 'Manage Attachments-> Rename Existing Attachment'. The change in behavior you observe is because of zotfile's automatic renaming. You ca…
-
Automatic renaming is enabled by default so that this shouldn't be the problem. You can disable automatic renaming in the advanced setting tab. You can try that and everything should work as it used too but without automatic renaming. You should st…

I can't reproduce the problem. In my case, I get the broken link message when I try to open the file right after it was attached. After waiting a moment, I get the zotfile message for automatic renaming though and everything works fine. Might that b…

Can you give some more details? What are exactly the steps (with url) and how is zotfile set up (most importantly, the location of file setting)?
-
Hi! 1) zotfile uses the attachment note to store information about files on the tablet. It would clearly be better if zotfile did not piggyback on the Zotero database and instead use it's own database. Unfortunately, that won't happen anytime soon.…

Zotfile 2.2 is out. The update should be automatic for most users. Changes in Zotfile 2.2 - New feature: automatic renaming of attachment files (thanks to Robin Wilson) - Bug fix: zotfile produced error when trying to move open files on Windows (th…

Hey samuelcartaxo. sorry, but I don't have time to provide any user support over the next month and won't be able to get into this. Maybe someone else has an idea?
-
Zotfile 2.2 is now under review with one main new feature: automatic renaming of newly attached files. The update should install automatically after it was reviewer by mozilla. Here is the link for early adopters: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/de…

hi! fingersandtoes, here are some instructions for reporting bugs such as the problem with zotfile-test.pdf JonEP, a multi-stringed forum sounds like a good idea but I have a couple of reservations: First, there are rarely responses by other peop…

@jkotter, I can't do much right now. Simply no time to investigate. But I recommend that you restart your computer, try on a fresh Firefox profil where you just install Zotero and Zotfile (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-a…
-
TrueRony, seem to be a bug or a problem with the setup. I created a ticket but I won't have time to look into it anytime soon. For the meantime yon can just check out whether it's running on a different machine with a different zotero database and w…

You should check some of my earlier replies about pdf extraction and a) test the extraction with the example pdf (which I link to in one of the replies), b) look for errors in the FF error console (also described in an earlier post), and c) try popp…
-
I am preparing for a trip but I will get back to your question in two weeks or so...
-
Thanks for the bug report and the fix!! That are the best bug reports... :)
-
yes, poppler might work better. In my experience, the poppler based extraction supports more pdf standards, is faster and has less problems with spaces. It only works for Mac though (until someone compiles it for other platforms), has problems with …
-
pdf.js simply does not support all pdf standards so that some files won't work. You can test whether the extraction of annotations works in general by downloading this file and extracting the annotations. If it works, your files are probably the pro…
-
Just to clarify, you are using linked attachments and when you double click on the link in Zotero you get this 'wrong location' message, right? I am not sure whether there is an easy solution to this problem. If you have some programming experience,…
-
Hi jratuszn, sorry to disappoint you but the problem simply is FF 3.x for the pdf.js based extraction and OSX 10.4 for the poppler extraction. Without upgrading either FF or OSX, the extraction is not going to work. Sorry that I can't be of more hel…
-
That is a very common request but I wont do it on the zotfile level. There is, however, some development on the zotero level, which goes in this direction: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/pull/51 Not sure whether this will be integrated soon but yo…
-
Yes, I know about this problem but can't do something about it right now. Devietti implemented most of the pdf.js extraction stuff and he won't be able to look into it right now. The poppler based extraction is much better with spaces but mac only (…
-
Star7, as long as you backup your zotero library, you are fine. Zotfile saves everything in the zotero database so that you don't need to backup any additional files. The only thing that is not part of the zotero library are the preference (includin…
-
jacekg, I think that happens when you close the FF window and reopen it (without quitting the application). If that is the case, I know about the problem but wasn't able to fix it. Other plugins have the same bug. I think it only occurs on Mac/Unix …
-
Star7, it might the case that the tag wasn't removed properly. Someone else reported on a similar problem a while ago but didn't follow up. You should try to reproduce it again starting with just one file and check the firefox error console for any …
-
snsidea, I am not having any problems with FF 11 and this particular item regardless of the way in which the attachment is added. When I understand you correctly, the problem does not exist at the other computer, right? So it seems to be something r…
-
I will need a little more information to bug fix this because I can't reproduce it... your set up (OS, zotero version, zotfile version etc), the exact steps, a link to the reference you are using etc... It would also be good if you can try a differ…
-
snsidea, I am not sure whether your problem is related to the way in which you add an attachment. Can you try both ways with the same zotero item and report? (i.e. use 'attach a stored copy of a file' with the same zotero item) Also, please check t…
-
robintw, it's not happening automatically (which is on my list) but you can use the 'Manage Attachmants->Rename Attachment' option to rename and move existing attachments. Hope that helps.

anthonybrucewilson, I have added a ticket to disable any renaming. It's not a big thing but it will take a while before I work on zotfile the next time.
