OK - thanks - I'll try tomorrow

PS - I am aware of the content of the above helpfile - as noted - I do not allow two-way sync - the zot.../sqlite file on my C_Drive is the file written by Zot & is never "back synchronised"
-
This makes no sense unless you have changed permissions since 10 Feb. I have kept the sqlite file in a defined folder that includes "\OneDrive\X\*.sqlite" for literally years. As mentioned, the folder (& files) sits on my HD on the C_Drive (alth…

thanks - altho TBH @CityPrincess and @bthomaslee in link above cover my reasons for wanting multiple selection of items for "create parent items" v useful. Also, much of the "grey literature" I use lack DOI or ISBN - hence its a copy & paste job…

Identified by adamsmith as a zotfile error - please see Zotero Forum Discussion item https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/63547/zotfile-tablet-transfer-error#latest Essentially I have 4000+ items in my library that I wish to send as pdfs to a new H…

Thank you
-
OK - slightly confused how it sits as a "new posting". Do I simply add to end of that link as "leave a comment"? ie below hmarten on "page 50". Sorry - not being obtuse!!
-
[and I will keep you posted ;-) ]
-
OK - many thanks for your time
-
OK thanks - jst to clarify - when you say "That" is an error - you are referring to? Thanks

can you carify what exactly you want made explicit in screenshot (ie what does "how one of those items looks" mean)? Thanks
-
I would like to bump this up again - Xmas intervened with no resolution. Thanks
-
NO - I cannot retrieve metadata ie there is no such "Retrieve md" option visible when tight clicked
-
How do you determine? As far as I am concerned they are Zot items - they appear in Zot standalone with title etc, & double-clicking opens a pdf - but they are stored (& linked) to individual sub-folders within C:\*\storage. Having said this,…
-
OK - I now have a folder in my Library "Tablet Files". As a test I have sorted my items alphabetically & selected the first 38 items - I would like these transferred as pdf's to C:\Zot_temp. SEE LINK I first asked for files to be renamed (all ha…
-
thanks - i'll get back to you.
-
b) above - do you mean "Add saved searches"?
-
YES - can open Aabeyir - no problem Re a) - I do not have a the tag box ticked (I use Zotfile not just to move files to a "tablet folder", but aso as a secind backup SOLELY of my Zot pdfs. I do this both as security (easy instant backup) & also …
-
If you mean - can I open Zotero, find an item & click on it to view the pdf - yes.

THANK YOU - I knew there was a way - thought there was a radio button. Have posted link on original query post

Hi: the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2tk67uyafb72r6f/zf.rtf?dl=0 Certainly my Zot is up to date (4.0.29.10). I'll need to track dwn the zotfile *.msi to check (but downloaded within last 6 months) I don't have the terminology for techspeak, but…
-
Yes - i did. It is thro not always knowing exactly what the options do under every circumstance. I will do the export / omport thing with the pdfs that Zotero has problems interogating & 2read them" in Mend, & reimport with Zotfile location …
-
PS - OK - thanks - working with "attach stored copy of file" on radio-button. What would life be like if Zot (& its friends) was all straight-forward! Cheers R
-
OK - so solution is to turn off "Custom Location" for now? Not sure I understand (but embarrasing I always F up!!)
-
Hi: 1) Yes - pdfs still open BOTH from pdf daughter (for Neufeldt - it has re-appeared again!!?) & from links 2) The files (pdfs) are in my Zotero Storage folder (the Neufeldt in its randomly allocated sub-folder (C:\Zot_References\Storage\g…

Thanks - copied below is one I did earlier (5 records - parent data transferred, but only link data EXCEPTING the last (Neufeldt)which for some strange reason, showed pdf insread of link, but then after closing Zot & reopening, just showed link.…

I could start a new discussion, but this continues from yesterday, altho the Q is "How do I import my Mendeley data AND associated pdfs back into Zot?" . I have read the various threads that fall under this query - effectively 1) Select All in Mend;…

Thanks R

Thanks for rapid reply. OK - it's my idiosyncratic way of working, but let's say I have 100 old pdfs on my HD that I drag INTO Zot. I click on "Retrieve Metadata for PDF" & 50 odd are "read" (not to mention good old google still playing silly bu…
