Thanks, it's solved. It turns out I had to use "Reset File Sync History" under Step 5. I had only used "Replace Online Library".

Thanks for your help. I'll keep thinking about other ways of working. It is really convenient to have all reference material in one place (i.e. Zotero).

Thanks for your quick reply, dstillman. I saved another web page ( this one), in which case the image was taken perfectly. I had only tried it once before, with this web page, and now see the images also have links over them. That website is probabl…

Amazing, that works! Thanks @adamsmith. So in summary, I use the "copy select item links" function from the Zotilo extension, and use this on a PDF item. This creates a link in the following form: zotero://select/items/[item ID] I then replace se…

Thanks for the replies guys. @bwiernik : the "Copy select item links" does almost what I want. It opens Zotero and selects the corresponding file. The link it creates is zotero://select/items/. @adamsmith : I already had ZotFile installed but I am…

I tried going from scratch now, and still the same. Mendeley data directory: "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Mendeley Ltd\Mendeley Desktop\Downloaded"

Not only did that not work, it also showed me Mendeley is really messed up. Turns out since v1.19, the data base is encrypted, so I had to downgrade to v1.18, pull my library from online, then import it into Zotero. Still, Zotero creates links to th…

I assume what you call the "Downloaded" folder is what Mendeley stores all files in if you use the "Organize my files" utility (a single folder Mendeley by default calls "Mendeley Desktop"). I use that, so all my documents are in a single folder on …

I mean the folder Mendeley stores all its PDFs in. Those PDFs are linked files in Zotero, not actually imported. I must say my Mendeley directory is custom, but Mendeley at least knows that. Edit: same thing happens when Mendeley is at the default l…
