  • For Linux, there's an official Zotero tarball: https://www.zotero.org/support/installation There are also third-party packages: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/linux_packaging For Ubuntu, see here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1160369
  • These two features of Zotfile seem related to your questions. 1. Automatically move and rename attachments: When using Zotero's browser connector for importing items, you should generally try to import articles from the main journal website. If yo…
  • @cohubicol: The Zutilo add-on provides a "Copy select collection link" function that copies links of the form zotero://select/library/collections/[collectionKey] to the clipboard, see here. (Note that the link format on this site needs to be correct…
  • @ZenonMarko: As you already noted, you need to switch off the "use logical page numbers" setting. That's a limitation of the current solution. Currently, Zotero is using Acrobat's "go to page" keyboard shortcut, "Cmd+Shift+N", through GUI scripting.…
  • You can achieve this by creating a citation key column with the Better BibTeX add-on.

  • I found the text in your message in this file. Extracting highlights with Zotfile works well for me. It could also be an issue with your highlighting tool. You could try if you get better results with Acrobat or PDF-XChange Editor. (For the latter, …
  • Can you extract a proper text using this online tool? If so, it could be that Zotfile has some issue with the PDF version of your file. If your file is PDF version 1.6 or higher, you could try to create a PDF-1.4 from it. See the discussions here.
  • If it's Zotero 5.0.60, this is likely a package from 'ppa:smathot/cogscinl', see here. There's a comment at https://askubuntu.com/a/1160369, but probably many users find the packages through some installer search interface. Another user of that pack…
  • You could try this: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item But you could also consider working with tags instead: https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags
  • The fix works with the Chrome connector. (But not with Firefox, see above.)
  • The way Zotfile extracts annotations can be changed with the preferences extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.* in the Config Editor. You can customize the formatting with extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.format*, see here and here. If you want customi…
  • @jeremyvancleve, @adamsmith: Thanks for working on this. I tried to use the new NPG translator, but the issue seems not fixed for Firefox when importing https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14906. Were you able to identify the issue with the NPG t…
  • @CityPrincess: You could try Emiliano's plugin. Some people used it successfully. See here: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-folder-import The related discussion is here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/81329/create-zotero-library-using-di…

  • @leonryrko: For examples how to set up Zotfile's user wildcards, it's best to first have a look at its default wildcards, see here. (Note that some of the examples on the Zotfile website are outdated.) What you want to do should be possible with th…
  • That's possible, but it's not straightforward. See here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73893/zotero-select-for-collections
  • @Chiffon73: If your laptop uses an SSD, it's possible that your files in Zotero's storage folder are not recoverable due to TRIM commands. You can find a very detailed explanation here: https://superuser.com/a/407659. That's probably more than you w…
  • @PicassoSparks: See adamsmith's comment in this discussion: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/76425/zotfile-send-to-tablet-limits-effects The main reason to use the "Send to/Get from Tablet" functionality would be if you generally prefer to have …
  • Zotfile adds "Manage Attachments" -> "Rename Attachments" to the item context menu. Without the Zotfile plugin, you only have Zotero's "Rename File from Parent Metadata" option.
  • @Chiffon73: I'm curious whether you were able to recover files from a HDD or SSD. The latter can be more problematic for data recovery, see here. If PhotoRec worked well for PDF files, you could also try to recover SQLITE files with it. It's in the…
  • For Acrobat on macOS, the "go to page" keyboard shortcut should be Cmd+Shift+N. (On Windows it's Ctrl+Shift+N.) If this is the case, it could be worth trying to use the AppleScript currently used for Preview (here), but with keystroke "n" using {opt…
  • You could try to recover pdf's with PhotoRec, which should also work in Windows. Save the recovery program and restored files to an external hard drive. If possible, boot from a CD or USB device, e.g., using a Live USB system. Some backup function …
  • @Chiffon73: Those files are probably not very useful, they are related to Zotero's PDF full-text indexing. Note that each stored file is saved to an individual folder: /Zotero/Data/storage/[itemKey]/[filename]. So it would be best if you could try t…
  • @dstillman: I don't know how the function is currently working. But if it's not already the case, maybe moving the data and files to the operating system's trash by default would be an improvement, in addition to possible other changes discussed abo…
  • An alternative might be to go back to one of the last automatic backups of the zotero.sqlite database. You might then need to sort your folders in Zotero's storage by date to remove the duplicated attachments. There is also this add-on that might he…
  • @gavg712: That repository is no longer maintained. You could install Zotero from Emiliano's deb packages instead: https://askubuntu.com/a/1160369. See here for details.
  • @ZenonMarko: Zotfile removed its zotero://open-pdf handler. So this should not be related to Zotfile, but to Zotero on macOS. Note that the links open properly on Windows 10. There is another recent report for the same issue on macOS, see here. If …
