I can't think of a way of getting Zotero itself to select just stored or just linked attachments, and then deleting only the selected attachments. Maybe the devs have one ? One thing that might work to delete just the linked files would involve fir…

It's always best to document how you have Zotero set up. With screenshots of all the Settings. As well as how you migrated items from other systems. With a note about things that can be deleted once everything is working. Also where your backups are…

Are you saying that all your items have two attachments, one stored and one linked ? Or something different ? And how did that happen ?

Re C:\Users\SA06CS\Zotero\storage\BF6F4675\journal.pone.0122870.PDF, that is indeed a "stored" file as far as Zotero is concerned (all such files are stored under Zotero\storage), not a linked file. Therefore no addition of, or adjustment of the Li…

Of course there are the lookup engines in Zotero, but they do *take you* to your browser, ie out of Zotero. Worldcat can be added to your engines list AFAIK (I have about a dozen engines in my list). https://www.zotero.org/support/locate#managing_lo…

The simplest way to get a screenshot from a PDF is to use the Select Area tool, and then right-click Copy Image or Save Image As.
-
The hint to solving these problems is usually in two pieces of information: 1. the path Zotero lists in the error message - where it *thought* the file should be. 2. where that file actually is. Can you give us those bits of information for one fil…

Working entirely within the Zotero ecosystem just "works" for most people. It is possible to work somewhat outside that, but it can get complicated. When you add a PDF to Zotero from your OS (by drag and drop for example), a *copy* of that file is …

If the links are spread all over your computer, fixing the broken links will probably be tedious. On the other hand, if they were all in one folder (or one tree), and are now in another, simply moving them in your OS to where Zotero thinks they shou…

I believe that the Ethereal Style plugin can show a graph view of related items ... https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style

Zutilo works in Zotero v7. https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo This plugin can scan for missing attachments. https://github.com/SciImage/zotero-attachment-scanner

My first step would be to verify that all the basic elements work. Install Zotero on your distro (without linking to your account), then add and set up Zotmoov and Proton drive, and the web connector for your preferred browser. Then test that Zotmoo…

How are you adding files to Zotero ? The linked-files plugins (Zotfile up until Zotero v6; Zotmoov or Attanger in Zotero v6+) only work automatically to move files to your designated linked-files folder if downloaded via the Web Connector. And of co…

As the message says, the Group has reached the owner's online *file* storage quota. If the owner wishes for more files to be uploaded by any Group members, the owner needs to pay to increase their online file storage quota. *Data* uploading is alwa…

For existing stored PDF attachment files that you wish to convert to linked files, you use the right-click "move to" option in either plugin (after having set the designated "move to" folder in the plugin's Settings). Best to do the move in smaller …

Re #1, until that becomes a feature of Zotero desktop, the Ethereal Style plugin can display an item count for each collection in the left pane (turn off all its other functions in Settings if that's the only one you use).

Until this becomes a feature of Zotero desktop, the Ethereal Style plugin can display an item count for each collection in the left pane (turn off all its other functions in Settings if that's the only one you use). But not for Saved Searches - thos…

If they have DOIs or URLs (and don't already have a PDF) ... right-click Find Available PDF (the option only appears when those criteria are satisfied). https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/103321/how-does-find-available-pdf-works

@AlbertoM1 you have been talking to the lead developer all along. https://www.zotero.org/support/forum_guidelines#etiquette

In desktop Zotero, that would be the Ethereal Style plugin.

OK, so if your data directory was originally at C:\Users\victb\Zotero\ that makes sense for Zotero thinking the example PDF should be at C:\Users\victb\Zotero\storage\TUFZBV7V\Jensen et al. - 2025 - .pdf (that PDF's stored path at the time it was or…
-
Firstly, to be clear, we assume by "linked attachments" you do mean Zotero 'linked' attachment files, which are different to the default 'stored' files under Zotero\storage (people sometimes use "linked" as a generic description of all attachment fi…
-
So Zotero must have initially stored that PDF at C:\Users\victb\Zotero\storage\TUFZBV7V\Jensen et al. - 2025 - .pdf. Because that's how Zotero recorded its location. And Zotero still thinks it is there. And that is a 'stored' file (not a 'linked' f…

There is almost never a reason to update many file paths manually. What is the file path listed in one of the error messages now ? And what is the actual path to that file ?
-
Usually the clue to fixing linked file path issues is in the error message - where Zotero thinks the file should be - compared to where the file actually is now. If the problem is simple, setting a Linked Attachment Base Directory on all your comput…

Most web pages do get saved with a snapshot (as long as you have that set in Settings\General). If sometimes you don't get a Snapshot saved by the connector, you can always use the SingleFile browser extension to save the webpage and then add it to …

You can automate this for each linked PDF you want to work on in the Zotero mobile apps with Zotmoov's custom menus. You don't need Zoo in that scheme. Not sure if Attanger can automate similarly, but it should at least be able do it all manually. h…

If Zotfile could have done this (I'm not sure, I never needed that option) it would have been working with area/image annotations embedded in the PDF. That would have been prior to Zotero v6, when PDF work required an external PDF reader. Then the P…
