Zutilo does both those things to some extent - tags you first copy to the clipboard from one item, and then you paste them to multiple selected items at once; it does multiple relations by relating all the selected items to every other selected item…
-
You could also use the SingleFile browser extension to save the web page to a single html file, and then attach it to the item. That's the same method Zotero uses.

The only Web connector versions are only for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors The word processor plugins (including LibreOffice's) should be installed automatically when you install Zotero. https://www.z…

First, try changing its Storage setting from Note to File. That may fix it.

Do you have the Ethereal Style plugin ?
-
Note that linked PDF files don't work with the Zotero mobile apps (nor Zotero Groups nor the web library). There are workarounds for mobile app use via Zotmoov's custom menus (similar to Zotfile's old send/get from tablet). https://www.zotero.org/su…

@dfeldman if you have an existing folder of PDFs that you *really* want to keep in that folder, then "linked" files may be an option for you. But they have limitations compared to the default 'stored' PDFs - they don't work with the web library, Gro…

Zotmoov replicates Zotfile's old send/get from tablet (or other device) via its custom menus. https://github.com/wileyyugioh/zotmoov/blob/master/docs/CUSTOM_MENUITEM_INFO.md

@hoppek in Zotmoov you specify a permanent 'move to' folder, the same as Zotfile's Custom Location folder. There is no need to specify a folder every time the Zotero connector downloads a PDF. https://github.com/wileyyugioh/zotmoov Questions and fe…

@adamgs78 a strategy for more refined saving of snapshots is to turn off automatic snapshot saving in Settings, and using the SingleFile browser extension to save only the web pages you really want (the same code that Zotero uses to save snapshots).…

Zotero 7 has in-built attachment preview in the right pane of the main window ... https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-7/

Also, when moving - not copying - items between collections, you should drag with the appropriate modifier key as a single operation ... "To move items between collections, hold down Cmd (Mac) or Shift (Windows/Linux) when dragging items to the new …

Zotfile does not support Zotero v7+. And since Zotero enhanced its attachment file renaming scheme in v7, the plugins that have replaced Zotfile's linked file operations (Zotmoov or Attanger) leave renaming of the linked file's *file name* to Zotero…

Problems with a plugin should be directed to the plugin developer. And there was a new version released today. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference/issues

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…
