Thanks for that clear position. It would appear that there are plugins that are flouting these rules ... https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u5906489/lplw8vyqsw68qszgopj3.png

@dougwyu maybe the script's developer @RamonMi can advise.

There are other ways to easily add a PDF from a designated folder, for 'stored' files (a zotero-actions-tags script) or 'linked' files (Zotmoov) ... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/513365/#Comment_513365 https://github.com/wileyyugioh/z…

According to the Chinese repository that has most Zotero plugins listed, there are currently 29 AI-related plugins. A few are limited to narrow, specific tasks. But the majority are broad AI tools. That's impossible for most users to sensibly naviga…

One problem with a plugin-only approach to AI is the large number of AI plugins that already exist (arguably worse than trying to figure out which AI chatbots or agentic AI to use, outside Zotero, which is hard enough). I cannot think of any other a…

I also sometimes see fields I am editing in the right pane revert to their previous value as I am entering the new value, or soon after. It seems to correlate with Zotero syncing the data to online, ie the update wheel in the top right is spinning (…

Which option is best depends on what information you want to preserve, and whether you will likely need to access it easily again. Converting a group of items to have linked attachment files instead of stored files is one way of effectively archivi…

If you still have the parent items in your library - just without their original attachment - and when you try to open it, Zotero says it cannot find that known attachment file, then the Attachment Scanner plugin can identify and tag those items wit…

The Chrome version of of the Zotero Connector should work on all Chromium-based browsers, including Vivaldi*. I use multiple browsers for different things ... mostly Firefox and Chrome, but also Comet, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi (each has at least one un…

When you make a correction to the file name - and you want that to become the new file title too - you could just edit the file title in the right pane (rather than deleting the PDF and attaching it again). And you're not alone in preferring to see …

You can do it with the Zutilo plugin. Add all the tags to one item, then right-click copy them to the clipboard. Then select all the items you want to add them to, and right-click paste them.

To export Zotero annotations to the PDF, you use 'File\Save As' in the reader or 'File\Export PDF' in the main library pane (there may be a reason why those operations have different names, but if so I can't remember what it is). But then like annot…

Well I use linked attachment files, so Zotmoov's Attach New File works fine for me. I use it often. Not only for PDFs acquired other than via the web connector ... but also since I now save web snapshots via the Singlefile browser extension (which a…

I didn't recall Zotfile being able to add the latest-dated PDF in a designated folder as a 'stored' file (under Zotero\storage). But the Zotfile docs (below) do seem to suggest that it could. Perhaps like most people, I only used the option to creat…

The citation network browser aspect of your plugin is very nice, showing a paper's reference list and also subsequent 'cited by' papers that cite it; including what papers are already in one's library, and options to add any that are not. It complem…

If you simply deleted a Collection, that does not delete the items *within* the Collection - they remain in your Library and any other Collections to which they belong. The Zotero Collections model is more like playlists than OS folders ... https://…
-
For me, the advantage of standardized filenames for linked files - using Zotero's customized renaming (which Zotmoov uses) - is that when I go to the file manager in my OS, the files have consistent names that I am likely to already remember enough …

A number of other plugins support nested/hierarchical/categorical tags ... https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style https://github.com/panhaoyu/zotero-categorial-tags
-
@MarinMlinarevic the only way I can think of to do that would be in a roundabout way. Use Zotmoov with its setting 'Automatically Move/Copy Files When Added' turned OFF. As such, PDFs downloaded by the web connector would go into Zotero storage (und…
-
Re "2. Delete the PDF from ~/Zotero/storage/ if it exists there", that obviously should not be necessary, and does not happen in general with Zotmoov ... for the way that most people use it, Zotmoov does not leave a copy of the PDF in Zotero storage…
-
Those item counts are likely from Ethereal Style. Those show the *true* item count in a collection. But if View\Show Items from Sub Collections is ON, those counts will not match the number of items you see displayed in the main library pane (for pa…

Presumably you were using a plugin to do that, Zotmoov or Attanger ? They are the only way to get PDFs downloaded by the Zotero Web connector) automatically converted to linked files in a designated folder; or to get existing selected items' "stored…

The latest version of Ethereal Style is 6.0.6, which is compatible with Zotero version 9.0.3. A few of my installed plugins, including Ethereal Style, seem to update to more recent versions even though the lastest version on Github is older. I hav…

Indeed the fact that Related is a 'hold-all' for all sorts of disparate relation types that cannot be easily distinguished makes it a rather inelegant and inefficient feature. I suspect that the main use of Related is to link to references cited by…

The Attachment Scanner plugin allows you to add an Attachment Size column (and Attachment Number, which I find really useful). Caveat is that Attachment Size may be a little slow, as size must be read from disk each time. https://github.com/SciImage…

In terms of understanding how linked files work, the *default* linked files setup (with no Linked Attachment Base Directory setting) is that every linked PDF you add has its location stored in the Zotero database as an explicit path to the location …

I am not 100% sure of the sequence of operations you are describing, but Zotmoov is not involved in *all* of Zotero's mechanisms for adding PDFs. IIRC it is only involved in downloads via the Zotero web connector (where it intercepts and converts th…
