The Zutilo addon can apparently add a shortcut for Zotfile's 'Move and rename attachments'. Set under Tools\Zutilo Preferences\Shortcuts.

I don't think it's possible to do that with an advanced search. But this code run under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript will get you a list of PDF files that are in local storage (and are in the Zotero database): var datadir = Zotero.DataDirectory.…

Edit: written at the same time as the above post ;) Most people do this with tags. Either manually applied, or with the zotero-tag addon below which assigns /unread and /read tags automatically. https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-tag You can cr…

The following saved search works for me (Zotero 6.0.23, Windows 10): Tag/does not contain/(leave empty) Show Only Top-Level Items ticked.

I agree. I have always thought 'All Notes' appearing under that heading is incongruous. Also the fact that the '+' icon for All Notes only creates Standalone *unfiled* notes is a further incongruity. Maybe there is a use case for needing to see all …

I can also confirm that the latest release version of Cita v0.4.0 (by @diegodlh ) is not working with Zotero 6.0.22. The Cita preferences panel does not appear in Tools\Preferences, nor does its tab show up in the right pane. Cita beta versions are …

To me and many of my researcher colleagues, the issues regarding copyright law in their written work are both legal and ethical. How did we end up in the situation where researchers give up their copyright to publishers for basically nothing, and th…

The failure of the add-ons window to appear when selected under Tools is often due, in my experience, to a Zotero process remaining in memory from a previous session. I do not know what causes that. To fix it in Windows, close Zotero, and then open …

I would suggest that Zotero ignore such attempts by academic publishers to further limit access to the work of researchers that those publishers did not pay for.

Chances are that it has downloaded the update normally. Sometimes the updating message just stays up. Close Zotero and restart.

Since the official github documentation for this important new Zotero Reference addon is in Chinese, and even then some features are not fully described, I'll add some more notes here ... Reference list content There does not seem to be a way for t…

Just spent an hour or so playing with this new Zotero Reference addon. It's had 33 releases at github so far (currently v0.3.6) so it does have some maturity. And it's pretty comprehensive and impressive. Here's some notes I took. Please add any new…

Correct, the way to proceed is just to use right click Rename and Move (if you already have the settings done in Zotero and Zotfile preferences). And it's actually Zotfile that handles *all* of that rename and move process. So it deletes the PDF fr…

It sounds like you already have Zotfile set up correctly, since you already have some linked files. And you have decided that a linked PDF file workflow will work for you (note the caveats): https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files If not ful…

If selecting Tools\Add-ons does not open that dialog as usual, it seems that is usually due to a Zotero process that has remained running after Zotero was last closed (I've never figured out any pattern as to why that happens sometimes; fortunately …

I expect that the ability to deal with the reference list data increasingly available from metadata services will come at some point. It's just not clear exactly how. While also not exactly what @mark.diamond wants, the Cita add-on (still under dev…

It looks like you currently have everything set correctly for Zotfile to *save* PDFs to the Custom Location in Dropbox. You also have the LABD where Zotero then *looks* for them set correctly. So I assume that all works correctly for anything saved …

I used Attach New File earlier today, so it's definitely still working for me in Windows 10/11 (Zotfile 5.1.2). So I can only suggest re-checking each setting: 1. Under Tools\Zotfile Preferences\General Settings, that you have the exact folder name …

@will_hurt the duplicate renaming problem you describe is perhaps limited to only some renaming formats. I have my Zotfile renaming rule set to the default {%a_}{%y_}{%t} (under Tools\Zotfile Preferences\Renaming Rules). And the problem does not occ…

I had been using Zotfile for a while before I realized how Attach New File actually worked. The Attach New File operation is for attaching a PDF you have just saved (into a specified folder) to an existing, selected item in your library. In Tools\Z…

Disable them all, to see if the problem goes away. If so, then re-renable them one by one to see if one is the culprit.

The most recent Zotfile update was late last year (Oct 9, 2022). But that was for bug fixes not new features. And the Zotfile documentation still refers to some old features (extraction of PDF annotations to Zotero notes) that are no longer part of …
