  • I've had this problem for every update on Zotero for Windows since 5.0 (now on 5.0.54). On startup, I'm told that "update could not be installed (patch apply failed)" and am referred to the Zotero website for a manual update. Zotero then refuses to …

  • FWIW, I recently switched from macOS to Windows, and I was able to add the same EPUBs (which had been sitting on Dropbox) to the Windows version of Zotero without a problem using ZotFile: I dragged them in and Zotfile moved them to my Papers folder …

  • Hi Tsau017, it wasn't on the list, but I've unchecked the option and restarted, and I'm still having no luck. I'm wondering if part of the problem may be that macOS appears to treat the epub as a package/folder, rather than as a folder.

  • I'm not sure if everyone knows this now—I found this thread while Googling the same problem—but Zotfile does this almost perfectly. Install it, tell it where to move your files to (I chose the same folder my existing files were already in), then imp…
