i do this manually or with Zutilo? Zutilo's "show path" keeps pointing to "storage" but then the file is found in some old folder (in an older version that may be missing annotations)... when i select it, the file then seems moved to the "storage" …
-
all of them seem to be in "storage" folder of old library (old hard drive). do i try to move them with... zotfile? when i try to replicate my previous zotfile set up?
-
there are about 60 items that remain unlinked (some are just pdf with no parent item). i can't find the files when i search using the finder. any idea how or where i might retrieve these? thank you!
-
yes it worked for the few i did! do i select "replicate all instances of partial path string"? to do this for my entire library (>4k items in basic view) do i simply "select all" and do as one batch? is having linked files stored in separate f…
-
except now i see that the most recent file additions are indeed stored in the default zotero folder (containing the folders with alphanumeric names -containing nearly 40k folders, most of which seem empty, and yet which all together take up about 2g…
-
the linked files are stored in a folder right 'next door' (to the folder containing Zotero which contains Profiles folder): /Volumes/2tb oore/DOCTORATE/ZOTERO/DANI ZOTERO in that folder i have the author folders. (maybe i used zotfile to do this…

the old path: /Volumes/2tb oore/DOCTORATE/ZOTERO/Zotero/Profiles/nem16z0a.default/zotero the new path i want: /Volumes/4tb oore/ZOTERO/Zotero/Profiles/nem16z0a.default/zotero Note... when i artificially change the new path to look like the old pat…

thanks for this.. i'm still having trouble figuring out how to use zutilo to fix this file linking (...that's after reading and searching for ways to do so on: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo/blob/master/docs/USAGE.md)
-
im using stand alone -- do i need firefox to open zutilo? i get this message: There is no application set to open the document “zutilo_utility_for_zotero-2.0.3-fx.xpi”.
-
well, the library works fine on the old drive... (i want to move it because old drive is showing signs of deterioration). but the library still wouldn't work on the new drive after i updated the base directory to the equivalent position on this new…
-
since i can't open zutilo, i'll try to do it in zotero, but does it matter that the older library on that older drive is not up-to-date (missing newer files)? so, first i set the attachment base directory to the old drive? what do you mean point…
-
i don't seem to have any linked attachment base directory set in my zotero prefs. zutilo downloaded but i couldn't figure out how to open it. when i look at the debug output.. it seems that zotero standalone is still looking for the old file attac…

this is the debug output from trying to open an item D1986582357

i moved the entire library i had been using on one external drive to a new drive, and customized the data directory location to the folder with the sqlite file on the new drive. by not "syncing with their files": the zotero item has a hollow blue …
-
your solution seems to have fixed all problems!!! Thanks so much! (relatively few items remain with blue circle with empty white centre, and are not coming up in finder search.. not sure where or why.)
-
when i reselect custom, it forces me to re-choose the location folder, then when i restart zotero it has jumped back to the 'profile directory'. ?? (when customizing, do i select the zotero profile folder or the the zotero folder? my attachment …
-
strangely, whereas an hour ago when i checked the data directory location (before posting my first query) it seemed properly set to custom (to a designated external hard drive), now it is selected to 'use profile directory'... when i just now checke…

I used to use firefox, but now I use chrome. (i don't know if i had firefox open when i did the most recent sync.)

ok... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/33849/creating-my-own-file-structure-for-zotero/ http://freecity.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2013/12/14/setting-up-a-portable-library-with-zotfile/

...if i change the zotfile location from 'attach stored copy' to 'custom location' (but select the folder in the external drive)
-
when i rename items they get moved to the external, but in standalone the pdfs (attached to items) now appear as pdf icons (as opposed to linked files)
-
before i select all and rename, do i delete the old pdfs that are currently in the external drive folder or will it automatically replace duplicates with the newer version? ...i don't want the old ones to be kept there when the rename moves the new …
-
sorry.. which are you responding to, A or B: A) select all and rename B) re-direct zotero (AND zotfile!) to 'rebuild' in new location on external harddrive
-
(just to be clear... i wansn't thinking i would move manually as in click-drag, but re-direct my zotero to rebuild itself in a new location on my external hard drive.)
-
but to get zotfile to reverse itself i have to pick specific files (manage attachments–>rename)... or do i simply select my _entire_ library (2.5k items)?
-
is it safer to simply move the library to the external drive? if so, do i just create a new destination on my external drive? (i don't want to import only selected items into the library on my external, because it is not clear which and how far…
-
'reset' for zotfile, or 'manage attachments'.. is it in firefox extentions menu or standalone zotfile prefs?
-
haha. wow. thank you. what is the best way to move the new files to my external folder? (assuming it won't happen automatically once i reset zotfile)
-
okay, im going to install zotero for firefox. and in the attached screenshot it shows the preferences for standalone (top left) and also zotfile (bottom). it looks like maybe zotfile is sending things to the old directory. i never re-set zotf…
