@dstillman Thank you for the info. Reference Extractor seems to only work on a per-Word-document basis, so it does not seem to provide any efficient method to determine if Zotfile items are referenced by *any* Word document on my computer. Perhaps…
-
qqbb, thank you for this. Yes, I am realizing more and more the advantages of using Zotero's collections and database. I am still attached to the idea of finding the files in the hierarchy in the (Mac) Finder as well, though, to be able to look …
-
dstillman, I assume your response is the method recommended when *not* using Zotfile, correct? Or does Zotfile also refer to the Linked Attachment Base Directory? From what I can tell (just trying out Zotfile), Zotfile uses its own absolute path …

Testing this feature out now... With the same item in multiple collections, Zotfile will offer a dialogue when renaming the file. The user can only choose one of the collections; Zotfile will put the attachment in a correspondingly named folder and…

bwiernik, thank you for this. It does seem more trouble than it's worth to script program such a system of variable names. I'll try to make peace with the idea of a single name format for all items.
-
Thank you, dstillman, for the detailed responses. With all that in mind, I am indeed considering the move to either Zotero's internal database or using Zotfile to automatically maintain a folder hierarchy database of attachments, by subcollection…
-
Good to know! I just did some tests with both Zotfile and Zotero's respective renaming commands. Indeed, both stripped out semi-colons and could not handle double-quote marks. Interestingly, both did allow single-quote marks... So maybe single-…
-
Also, per our discussion in the other thread about allowable characters in file names, but relevant here to the "et al" discussions: The "Creator" column in Zotero includes "et al.", with the period, for multi-author works. This phrase carries ove…

I would love more flexibility with this feature, akin to that of Zotfile: - more fields for the rename string - ability to have different rename strings for different item types - batch renaming option
-
Feature Request: Separate Re-name and Move commands I hope the developers will allow the option that the re-naming does not move the file as well. This is especially important for those of us who utilize our own file organization systems, rather th…
-
Thank you to the developers for all the hard work. - For the renaming string, %a (or a new field wildcard) should only include authors, not editors. The instructions claim it does work this way, but it does instead include the editors no matter w…
-
Perhaps, except those will get confusing if a file is renamed (manually or automatically) for systems that can't handle spaces, so spaces get replaced with underscores as well. Any recommendation on an authoritative up-to-date list / guideline on f…
-
Thank you again, adamsmith. Any suggestions on a good way to differentiate books from articles in the file names, without using quotes or other potentially rascally characters?
-
Thank you, bwiernik. I had tried that solution recommended in a thread, of setting linked field blank, but still no luck. The file was still moved as well as re-named. What is the concern with quotes in file-names?
-
(Also, as an aside, is it a bad idea to use double-quotation marks in the file names, as I do? I notice that Zotfile's custom string definitions seem to ignore double quotation marks, but will allow and use single quotation marks!)
-
Thank you for the response. The wildcard info looks quite flexible, but unfortunately, I cannot use Zotfile for this purpose, as it will indeed move the files as well as re-name them. I just tested this behavior again. Does anyone know of a way t…
-
Than you, bwiernik; that's good to know.
-
That's excellent news...I look forward to that addition

Would it be possible to just put both years in the Date field? For example, per Chicago style: [1907] 2010 As of now, this method will not parse correctly; if I simply place "[1907] 2010" in the date field, then the Chicago styles of Zotero simply …
-
Hello - (Following up on this old thread rather than start a new one on the same topic). Even though I am using Chicago style, the principle (solution?) seems like it should be the same: Put the Bekker Number(s) in Zotero's Page field of the Add …
-
Hello, all - I would love a "classic work" citation option. In philosophy, such abbreviations are quite common. For example, "Outlines of Pyrrhonism" (a.k.a. "Outlines of Skepticism/Scepticism", Πυῤῥώνειοι ὑποτυπώσεις) by Sextus Empiricus is typi…
-
P.S. The challenge of English heteronyms means that my future self will be confused by a tag called "Read", as I don't know if it's a past participle or an imperative. That is, does "read" mean "I've already read it" or "Read this; it's good for yo…
-
"Read/unread is a little trickier, because you'd presumably want that to be auto-assigned to new items (auto-tagging is another common request, almost always in this context), but unlike in Thunderbird there's not a particularly clear action that sh…
-
Thank you. I thought that might be the case. I used to use BBEdit for that sort of thing.
-
Thank you both.... I recall trying to use TextEdit in the past, and experiencing unpredictable results when pasting back the code into Zotero's Style Editor. Perhaps it works better now. It would be nice to be able to do it all in the Zotero St…
-
I also would truly appreciate a 5-star, or number scale (1-10), rating system. These should be easily assigned to keyboard shortcuts, like number keys. (I use a little app called "Stars" for iTunes this way... It's fantastic as I can just rate mus…
-
Thank you; as I thought. Well, this is certainly one for (my) wishlist then...
-
Is there a way to have Zotero auto-import or auto-update the imported annotations, though? Through some add-on perhaps?
-
@bjohas Thank you. Yes, I know of that method, but it isn't ideal, since it requires extracting the annotations again any time changes are made to those, or new ones are added, in the PDF document (via external app, e.g. Preview, Acrobat, etc.).
-
Also: Along with the all the PDF integration above, just the ability to search PDF annotations (notes) added in another program (Acrobat, Preview, etc.). This should be an option in the search dialog of Zotero.
