I can only agree with many of the other comments here : without Zotfile working, I will not update to Zotero7. I have 20 years old directory structure for my pdf collection, and I'm clearly not going to change this,especially that now Windows search…

This seems to be a problem which has been there for a long time and has been reporter over and over again. starting in 2010 with : https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/11498 https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/34898 https://forums.zotero.org/disc…

@DWL-SDCA Sorry, I'm using Libreoffice Version: 7.0.5.2 (x64) Build ID: 64390860c6cd0aca4beafafcfd84613dd9dfb63a CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); Langue IHM : fr-FR Calc: threaded …

I would also appreciate this very much. Author names that have accents are not always written in the same way, or the accents are omitted. I would be helpfull if searcing for "Bergès" one would also find "Berges", or "Maçoni" finds "Maconi" and vice…

great, thanks, I will try this.

I have talked to a couple of colleagues about this problem, and they all agree that being able to go from a simple search in a collection to the whole library would be appreciable.

You are correct, for some reason some items have the same DOI. I'll have to check that. Thanks a lot for the comment.

Thanks for these tips, I had missed holding down the ALT key. This helps quite a lot.

Thanks for the indications. As you said, finally I find the most usefull way to save directly from the article page. Then I use Zotfile to rename. The more I get into working with Zotero, the more I like it. And I have some history, having used 5 v…

also a field for the names of the editors (not authors) is missing. Sorry, just found that one can change the role of the contributors

But this is not the same thing, when formatting a reference of a chapter, the chapter author and the book editor are not at the same place. e.g. Smith, W. (2020) An important Chapter, in The New Book, eds. Brown, C and Red, Q., 207p. or similarl…

Thanks very much for your detailed comment. I think I will have to link the files as and when I work on the references. Otherwise, Windows search is extremely rapid in finding my files.

I'm using a naming convention that does not seem to be (completely) possible in Zotfile and I wondered if this could perhaps be introduced ? I use generally simply "author.year.pdf", son "%a.%y.pdf" and for the cases where I have several publi…

Dear Joscha, thanks for your reply, you wrote : ------------------- Olib170, if you still want to implement your scenario, which I think is different, open an issue on github. I am happy to point at the relevant parts of the code but I don't…

Following comment of krcrouse : Thanks for the additional test. This shows quite well where the problem lies, even outside of my own objective. So I agree with you that Zotfile should quite generally check if in the destination the expected ou…

As Joscha's answer was not 100% negative, I'll try again ;-) it seems to be one of the major critiques of Zotero that it is not able to connect to an existing pdf storage (in terms of one directory, including sub-directories). I think with j…

Hello, I'm just trying to set up my existing database (Bibtex) and pdf collection for use in Zotero. Unfortunately I had to learn that Zotero cannot use an existing pdf collection as it is and will copy it into its own (rahter hidden) filesystem.…

> it's likely going to be implemented, but I can guarantee you it isn't currently. OK, so I will just have to bid my time and stick with Mendeley for the moment, to which I had to switch because Bibus is not supported anymore. However once …

Not sure Zotfile is working for this : Zotfile cannot just move the files, it insists on renaming and it is not capable of re-creating my naming system correctly. So if I do this I will not be able to recreate what I had before 100% and thus loose a…

OK, I managed to install manually zotfile, however it seems to have problems with its source folder. This is something which is not clear to me 8and also from the documentation), but might perhaps do waht I need : In Zotero preferences, advanced,…

Thanks for the tip with Zotfile, but i'm using Standalone and Zotfile is not shown in the list of plugins... On the other hand this seems quite heavy to me to delete, move and then recreate a folderstructure of several gigabyte; and additionally I…
