Re 'The IT department was able to restore the "storage" folder' (which we assume is the Zotero\storage folder), you actually want them to restore the data folder (Zotero) from your computer before the update - that is, the *parent* folder of that st…

The current group owner has to initiate the group ownership transfer to you, which you then accept. Can they not see that option ? ... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/265147/#Comment_265147

Often it takes a while for the actual image to appear, after what seems to be just an initial grey rectangle placeholder. Under version 6 sometimes the image never appeared. It seems to be better under version 7.

It's not automatic. You do it manually by first selecting Add Item Note in the right Note pane of the PDF (or selecting an existing item note there). Then "Add To Note" will be UN-dimmed on the single annotation you want to add to the note, so you c…

I have seen this in version 7 too (currently 7.0.27; Windows 10).

If you wish to archive some items/PDFs, you can convert the PDFs to "linked" attachments. They will then be stored in a single folder on your local computer only. Zotero will still be able to open them on that computer, if ever necessary (and if in…

Zotmoov or Attanger replace Zotfile in v7.

@emilianoeheyns I just tested your suggestion for diacritic removal from last year above ... replaceFrom="\\p{M}" replaceTo="" regexOpts="g" My full string was intended to emulate the Zotfile default - {%a_}{%y_}{%t} - additionally with its diacrit…

What would your desired workflow be ? If for example you have one item with a set of tags that you wish to apply to a selection of other items, you can copy/paste all those tags with the Zutilo plugin.
-
@katieosha another way to address that issue would be to convert the archive PDFs to "linked" files (that only exist on your local PC or cloud folder or ext drive).
-
Apologies if I misunderstand what you want to achieve, but you can just drag a selection of files from Zotero to a folder in your OS - a copy of the files will be put in the folder. That would allow you to "share the PDFs ... with non-Zotero users".…

The Ethereal Style plugin's Graph View does something like that (although not quite as powerful as you suggest) for item attributes including tags. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style?tab=readme-ov-file#graph-view

%c in Zotfile set the *folder* name (in which it placed the linked PDF) to the same name as the collection to which the user saved it. It did not do that for the filename (unless that was a bug; because the docs explicitly said "only for sub-folders…
-
But doesn't that mean what it says ... that it worked for naming folders but not files ? Your example was of a file renamed that way (according to its collection name). Zotmoov and Attanger do support the folder naming feature from Zotfile.
-
The plugins that replace Zotfile - Zotmoov and Attanger - now leave linked file renaming to Zotero's enhanced renaming scheme. However there are some things that Zotfile's scheme did that Zotero's doesn't (eg diacritic removal). From your post I wa…

I see you have posted the problem you found under Issues at github. The plugin has had quite a few changes recently so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference/issues/367 I don't know of any other …

@PX2 there is also a plugin that allows you to open a PDF in an external PDF reader with one or two less clicks than Show in Finder ... https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf

The Reference plugin can do that. But there are some reasons why it may not work perfectly. It needs to find the paper's reference list from online repositories where journal publishers upload them, and those are not always complete. It then compare…

A Linked Attachment Base Directory setting has no effect on where PDFs get stored - it only affects where Zotero *looks* for PDFs when trying to open them (and you only need to set a LABD when you use more than one computer and the parent paths to y…
-
The only (moderately complex, and not officially supported) way to do it would be to convert the old PDFs to "linked" files, stored only on the local machine in another folder, not under Zotero\storage (although they should be backed up in some way,…

Do you have "Show Items from Subcollections" turned ON on one computer but not the other ? https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#show_items_from_subcollections

You would first decide which existing PDFs you wish to convert to linked files. They can live anywhere you want, including on an external drive. If you try to open such a PDF without your drive plugged in, Zotero will just show an error saying it ca…
-
That's quite a mess you've got there. You have files that have not only changed their path since Zotero stored that path (when they were added), but also some file names appear to have changed (although that could be due to how you copy/pasted the f…

If your linked files have a different parent folder on each computer, you set a Linked Attachment Base Directory on each computer. https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/advanced#files_and_folders Note that the LABD has no effect on where files…

Zotero syncs "stored" PDFs across devices via its own servers (300mb free). But if you really want to keep your PDFs on Google Drive and have Google do the file syncing, you can use "linked" PDFs instead. Note their limitations (don't work with Zote…
