I can see another issue that might be part of the path problem for some of the files. I was just using Jstor and when I was downloading a pdf it asked where I wanted to put it, and I selected "download to Zotero" which points it into the attachment…

I was starting to come to the same conclusion, and I will try it for a few files that are clearly in the @Zotero_pdf file (and not as proxy files from Proquest and JStor, since I recall you had pointed that out as a possible problem before). …

The full filepath is MacIntoshHD/Library/Application Support/zotero/storage But should be Users/nw/Dropbox/@Zotero_pdfs I tried using the update path function on Zutilo--right clicked on the particular entry and changed "s…
-
Update: I just tried with one file to update the path, and while it did change the path, the new one doesn't work, and when I click on the "locate" it is still looking in the old "storage folder location."

Thanks, this looks promising and I vow never to move a file again. So I installed Zutilo, and I'm about to try using the modify attachment paths function. When I click on a file whose path I manually corrected it says this: attachments:Felsk…

It works if I add them manually, or once I correct the path. It also seems to work with new pdfs of texts that I capture through the FF add-on. So the problem seems to be with older docs that had been added previously. There are a couple of hundr…

Thanks again(!) adamsmith, for the help. The settings read like this: General Settings Source folder for attaching new files Custom selected with /Users/nw/Downloads Location of files Custom location: /Users/nw/Dropbox/@Zotero_pd…

Thanks adamsmith. So when you say "you disable file sync from Zotero entirely," do you mean that none of the boxes should be checked on the Zotero preferences sync page? I've managed to set up the Zotero folders with Zotfile, and put new refer…
-
So in the basic set up with Dropbox and Zotero, what in the sync preferences screen needs to be changed (if anything)? (I have followed several threads about this, but couldn't find the information I needed.) It would be incredibly helpful to have a…

Adamsmith, thanks again, that works. I just need to be able to access my zotero library offline sometimes so assumed that standalone was the best bet. If there is a better approach, I'd be glad to hear it.
-
Ok started the thread. The URLs of the Proquest pages you mean? Don't think that will work because it's behind an institutional firewall.
-
Thanks adamsmith, that did the trick. So now another noobie question: I have made a dropbox folder for the pdfs so that I can edit them on my tablet. However, now it seems that in both Zotero standalone and on FF it won't automatically downl…

@adamsmith, thanks for this suggestion. Unfortunately, when I use these steps the SaveAs file is .html and not an .xpi, so I think that's the problem. When I point Standalone to it the file doesn't exist in my downloads folder. Any other way to g…

Hello, Very glad that Zotfile exists! I've been combing this thread to see if my question has been answered, but no luck yet. I'm setting up Zotfile to work with Standalone, and have successfully gotten it onto FF, however, when I try to find…
