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…

You mention Onedrive in your title, but not again in the text. You also mention 'the cloud with Zotero' in your text. But it's not clear exactly how you have things set up. If you mean that you have your Zotero data directory in Onedrive, you can't …

A "smart folder" does not actually *put* all your PDFs in a single folder. It simply displays them in one place in File Manager in your OS, by saving the file search. The PDFs remain in their individual folders under the Zotero\storage hierarchy. Y…

I assume you are referring to "linked" PDFs, not those in local Zotero storage (under Zotero\storage - Zotero should always be able to correctly delete "stored" PDFs) ? Why is the link no longer working ? Is the PDF file no longer at the linked loc…

That's my experience with Ethereal Style too. There is the option in its settings to turn off those of its many operations you don't use, which may reduce the processor load. I think I only have one operation turned ON.
-
The delitemwithatt plugin should do that. https://github.com/redleafnew/delitemwithatt As with any bulk operation, it's often best to start with smaller chunks to see how fast it runs.

To confirm what you need to have enabled, in MS Word you can go to Trust Centre, then Trust Centre Settings, and look there under File Block Settings. RTF Files should be UN-checked - that is, there should be no restrictions on opening or saving RTF…

If you think about what your particular plugins do, you realize that some only do things when you ask them to, while others are doing things most of the time, or at least regularly, in the background. The latter type of plugin can be processor inten…

You can restore them from your Zotero trash/bin. Note the difference between Move Item to Bin/Trash (presumably what you did; or just pressed the Delete key*) and Remove Item From Collection. In the latter case, the item remains in your Library and…
-
The Reference plugin will do that, and some powerful other things. It's a bit difficult to begin with due to the lack of up-to-date English documentation, but is worth the effort. Its ability to find matching references in your library will depend o…

The implementation of shortcuts in Zotero (like in OS file managers) would address many issues like this: shortcuts to Saved Searches from wherever you want to place the shortcut - in a Collection, under an individual Item, etc. The Saved Searches l…

Are these images being viewed on the same device where they were originally added to the note ? Images in notes are only synced across devices if file syncing is turned on. If not, they will only be visible on the original device (where they are lo…

Try this plugin. Test first on one small folder hierarchy. https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-folder-import Brief instructions: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/348687/#Comment_348687

Does it work with a trailing or leading space included in the search ? (symbol definitions will often have one or both spaces).
-
Edit: OK it seems that you mean extract bibliographic metadata about a single PDF. As explained below, that depends heavily on metadata embedded in the PDF by the PDF creator. (remainder deleted as no longer relevant)

You don't actually say that you want PDFs saved as "linked" files, not "stored" files. But I assume that is what you want to do. https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#stored_files_and_linked_files The Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD…

@nsalles linked attachment files do not work with the online web library (nor with the mobile apps). https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#stored_files_and_linked_files So in the web library you can see the parent item (if you have data sy…

The report customizer plugin might have addressed your application, but it has not yet been updated for Zotero v7. It still works with v6. https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-report-customizer For people with card-focused workflows, the zotcard pl…

Also, there are many ways to add information to generic item types (eg Presentation, Document, Report, Dataset) to aid you in knowing exactly what the item is: - the Extra field - a child note with a line for each piece of extra information you wish…

You can select the items you want and use right-click Create Bibliography from Items. Selections are not retained when you move from one collection to another, so you would have to copy all items to one collection in order to do a single list.

Preferences are now called Settings.

The instructions for multiple profiles has indicated the possibility of new data directory creation failure for some time - see "Note, June 2023" at the link below. The instruction there is to create the data directory manually and then point Zotero…

@Schillo I don't know if there is an equivalent saying in German, but in English we say "that horse has already bolted". ;) - AI companies used entire repositories of pirated copyright books to train their AI: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

If Zotero does not add a snapshot and I still want one, I use the SingleFile browser extension to save a snapshot to my computer, and then I add it to the Zotero item. I believe that is the same code that Zotero uses to create snapshots. Here's that…
