@adamsmith That clears it up. I have my library set up to use linked attachments organized in a Linked Attachment Base Directory, so that I can find files outside of Zotero. @johnmy Thanks for the pointer. I'll check that out.

Thanks.

Example using APA: Example #2 — amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief. Reference Brief for Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows, Inc. et al. as Amici Curiae Supporting Respondents, Mosely v. V Secret Catalogue, Inc, 537 U.S. 418 …

Do you mind sharing what info you put in each field to make the citation work? For example, since you mention the type field, what do you use that for?

Thanks, I'll try it that way.

This setting is controlled on the Advanced Settings tab of the ZotFile Preferences dialog. The setting is near the bottom and is a checkbox saying "Only work with the following filetypes", and a comma-separated list of file extensions. I have modifi…

Although I've been using Zotero for a while, I seem to have missed the right-click trick to add a web page without a translator. Obviously, not much metadata is prepopulated, but enough to get a simple entry started. Thanks.

Feature Request (reposted from https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/33976/zotfile-request-allow-use-of-institution-in-folder-hierarchy): I have a lot of Report items in my library. ZotFile allows the use of %j for journal, %p for publisher, or %w f…

That explains a lot. I really didn't know why sometimes when I hit the Delete key I got a prompt, and sometimes I didn't. I also didn't understand why I kept running into things that I thought I had deleted--it was because I had used the Delete key …

OK, so if you select "Move to Trash", the item moves to trash and then "Empty Trash" cleans up the file (Debug ID = D295490358). But if you hit the Delete key, the item disappears, but does not appear in the trash (Debug ID = D1172921211). Whi…

Didn't realize that. Still would be easier to be able to run Retrieve Metadata on a child item, but this is serviceable. Thanks for the tip.

Dan Stillman said: To fix that, we'd probably need to allow Retrieve Metadata to be run on child items and have it overwrite the parent item metadata on successful recognition. +1 I just added several hundred PDFs, and ran into the Google Scholar q…

Zotfile will not give them all the same name. If there is a naming conflict, it will append "2", "3", "4", etc. (but no number for the first file with the same name). I think if you rename the PDFs one at a time in the right order, rather than renam…

Thanks for the reply. It occurred to me that "The" is easy to strip out, but there is no way to add it back in (absent an exhaustive list of publications that use it). Have to figure out what to do…

That's exactly it. Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks adamsmith, I've added the suggested screenshot.

Thanks to bwiernik and adamsmith for your detailed answers. I'd like to point out that when adamsmith says "select items and click on Manage attachments → Rename attachments", it's important to realize that's "items" in the plural. I selected all th…
