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.
-
anginara, you should consider the comments from mronkko and adamsmith. If you still want to change your imported attachments to linked attachments, zotfile can take care of that. Just go to the zotfile preferences, change the 'Location of Files' to …
-
turner-es, I tried PDF Expert and iAnnotate, which both work fine. I assume that goodreader or something like that also works but I haven't tried it. My own experience is that recent journal article work pretty well but older once are often problema…
-
schuessi, I was going to ask the same as Thierry. Is that the problem? Do you have special characters in the %y or %A? Thierry.C, yes I think that is why it sometimes hangs. I am not controlling when pdfs get indexed so. It just happens automatical…
-
sorry for the trouble. There was a bug in 2.0, which also created the saved search for people who are not using the tablet feature. Not sure whether that is related. You should try 2.1. Delete the saved searches and let me know whether the problem …
-
Version 2.1 is under review now, which will probably only take a couple of days. Changes in 2.1 - Important: the tag for tablet files was changed from '_READ' to '_tablet' - New saved search for modified files on tablet (updates automatically, r…
-
Thierry.C, you should revert to 2.1b. I will release 2.1 soon but I will fix this bug later. playagiron, sounds interesting but I have no intentions to add this right now. Any potential new features has to wait right now... gm2240, please be more …
-
Thierry.C, I am not sure what is going on. 2.1b2 didn't create any problems either, right? Can you pin it down to a specific character in one of the meta data fields? I might just release 2.1 and fix this later... stefanmeir, maybe there is a subop…
-
Thierry.C, I think I fixed the problem with unauthorized characters in fields. I uploaded the version with the bug fix to the zotfile zotero group. Can you check whether the fix works? I didn't notice any changes in the renaming process and I also …
-
2.1 is pretty much ready but I would like that some people test it before I release it. I changed the tablet tag from '_READ' to '_tablet' and particularly want to know whether the transition works flawlessly. A full list of changes is below. The b…

In general, annotations have to be saved in the standard pdf format (and Adobe, of course, does). Otherwise nothing can be extracted... joatmon, your pdf software does not seem to use the pdf standard for annotations or it saves the annotations in …
-
quickfold11, when you use the 'Attach new file' function, the old file from the source dir should be removed. If not, try to provide some debug information. But maybe you mean something different? schuessi, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem. …
-
quickfold11, first you should install the most recent version from here. You are still using a 2.0 beta, which had some bugs. Second, the menu is there. It's 'Manage Attachments'. When you install 2.0 you also see the 'Attach new file' again.
-
Thierry.C, you are using windows, right? Can you send me the subfolder setting you are using? The default is '/%w/%y' but that only works for mac/unix. I think I already fixed the problem with subfolders and missing fields but I just want to make su…
-
Heckscher, I assume that you set the 'Location of Files' in the 'General Settings' tab to the location on your tablet. Is that correct? You have to set the tablet location 'Location of Files on Tablet' under the 'Tablet Settings' tab, NOT the other …
-
Thierry.C, it's seems to be the file but I don't know what the problem is either. Maybe the file is locked? I created a zotero group 'zotfile'. When you apply for membership, I will add you so that you can upload the file. I wasn't able to make the …
-
There is a clear advantage for using the PDF standard for any annotations: The files with annotations can be opened and read by all applications that support the standard, which includes apps on different platforms and tablet apps. Skim, for example…
-
erazlogo, I assume that happens because zotero indexes your pdf files, is that correct? When I was indexing my files, zotero always froze and the linking of tablet attachments trickers the indexing. You can either disable indexing or switch to backg…
-
looplog, maybe you should try a different computer but the fact that an error message keeps popping up indicates that something is going wrong. You keep getting the "zitem.getType" error right (even after changing the hidden option)? Anything reprod…
-
Guppy, no there is no page limit or anything like that. Maybe it's some unsupported pdf standard but usually you should get an error message in that case. First, you should check the error console. Then you can send me the pdf if you want or try to …
-
SamR, yes, you found the correct menu entries. Zotfile works through 'Attach new File' and "Manage Attachments". Note that you first have to set the source folder when you are using Zotero Standalone. In general, I won't invest much more time in t…
-
Star7, just go to 'zotfile preference'->'adv. settings' and press the button to add the search again...
-
afabl, Zotero does not allow any linked attachments for group library items simply because the link is only valid on your computer (you also can not create the manually). So zotfile also can not add a linked attachments to a group library item - it'…
-
For Standalone users, Zotero 3.0.1 currently does not update zotfile automatically. 3.0.2 will solve this problem but for the time being, I recommend that Standalone users update to zotfile 2.0 manually.
-
ohthere, both the bug and the feature request are added to the list... thanks for the report.
