  • > "Or do you mean that you moved something to the trash and then added the same file to the parent item? Because that would be a totally separate attachment that wouldn't have the previous annotations." - Yes I think this is what I did. Because …
  • Ok. I had an item (parent item with a ebook attachment) that had the issue of filename being changed to Ebook. I installed the latest beta version of zotero because I saw in github you were fixing those issues. However since the Ebook file is alrea…
  • Thanks for letting me know about Debug ID. Seems like the issue was what you suggested itself - missing file issue. Its working now.
  • Thank you. I have been wanting to switch to stored-file attachment for a long time but was scared because of several reasons. One being lack of something like smart folders for Windows or Mac on Linux since that is my primary OS. Now I see that the…

  • Thanks for your detailed instructions. I was trying to implement it. The zutilo context menu item had to be enabled in the settings for me to find it. Then I tried to test the instruction of moving it to a desired path using Zotfile as follows. I w…
  • Ya I agree that the root of the problems is not understanding properly how Zotero works. But what happened was that I found that even when I have path x set as the directory in LABD I could link to files in other locations in my laptop. I was not …
  • Yes. My symlinks are not for the Zotero database. When I select Show File on the computer where the error message appears nothing happens. On the same computer for a pdf file without this issue the proper path opens up in file explorer. The same f…
