The Ethereal Style plugin has an option for nested tags ... https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style#nested-tags

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…

Not possible, nor apparently likely in the future, unless a plugin were to do it. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73603/does-zotero-keep-track-usage-of-entries-in-bibliographies Current possible approaches could include adding a manual tag to …

You don't have to do that (and there is no easy way to select just items with stored attachments anyway AFAIK*). Just select all the items in a chunk and Zotmoov will only move the stored files (and also any existing linked files which are in a fold…
-
Zotmoov just moves the stored PDF from its (arbitrarily-named) folder under Zotero\storage to your linked-files ('move to') folder. But your never deal with that source folder - you just select items in Zotero's Library view and all that is handled …
-
Zotmoov's Move Selected to Directory can be run on as many or as few *selected* items as you wish ... and in fact with lots of items it is best done in small chunks (eg all the 'A' titles, then all the 'B's', etc). So you can also test that it is do…

The latest version, 2.4.3 from March 5, has a max compatible Zotero version setting of 9.9.9. Which version do you have installed ? https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-pdf-translate/releases
-
For additional PDF opening options, including always having right-click options for either the Zotero viewer *or* the default system viewer (but also others), try this plugin ... https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf

As of now the easiest way to check each of your collection of plugins for compatibility with a particular Zotero version is this plugin repository: https://zotero-chinese.com/en/plugins/ When Zotero does an update it will disable your installed pl…

If you just want the full path of an attachment file, you can use the Zutilo plugin's right-click Copy Attachment Path(s). But you do have to be in the main library view. If you wanted a keyboard shortcut for that, I believe that the Zutilo shortcu…

So your linked files are at a *single-folder* path on Cloudme and you wish to move them to a single-folder path on Dropbox ? If so, the best approach would have been to set a Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) setting in Zotero settings, befor…

I use saved searches for a number of things that I would otherwise be manually re-entering advanced search terms for often ... - key authors/research groups whose work I often need to look at - key topics that are find-able in more than one way (ta…

There are no right or wrong answers to library organization questions. You have to decide what approach works best for the knowledge domains in which you work. And what makes intuitive sense to you. Just make sure you understand how the Zotero colle…

Regarding narrowing this down further, Zotmoov/Zotero does work with linked epub files stored on a regular local drive. So if you were to test a linked epub file on a local drive on your system, and that worked, then it would point more clearly tow…

Can you select individual lines of text in that particular PDF in any other PDF reader ? If not, the PDF is likely a scanned (image) PDF that would require processing by OCR to make the text selectable.
-
Yes, that would work too. Just more complex as I said. Use Tools\Manage Attachments\Connvert Linked Files to Stored Files. With your 14 gb of linked files, that is probably going to take a while. So do it in smaller chunks (eg all the 'A' titles, th…

OK, since you do not have sufficient online file storage quota to sync even all your stored files to your laptop via Zotero servers, the simplest approach would be to expand on the solution I originally proposed to cover just your linked files: an e…
-
Zotero *file* syncing only syncs "stored" PDFs not "linked" PDFs. And in order to sync stored files, you need a sufficient online file storage quota (300 mb free; paid storage plans for more). Zotero *data* syncing is free and unlimited. https://www…
-
You mention that your linked file paths started with an "attachments:" prefix. That means you had a Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) entry in Zotero settings (on one or more computers); either continuously from some point in the past, or at l…

That's all good. But that is all addressed at plugin developers - whose stricter attention to updating Zotero compatibility will hopefully benefit users in the future. It doesn't directly address the current *user* dilemma though - users who are ha…
-
The latest Cita beta 1.0.0-beta.18 still shows v8 as the max compatible Zotero version (open XPI file as ZIP, then open the manifest.json text file inside the ZIP to check that value). So an issue should be raised with the developer to update compa…

Thanks @northword. I was actually going to mention that very good plugin repository in my post, but at the time I wrote it today the dropdown menu on the site had not been updated to allow a compatibility check for volume 9. I see that it has now be…

Could a feature please be added to show the Zotero version compatibility of all of a user's current plugins, to be checked prior to updating to a new Zotero version ? As is, a user either has to take their chances that some of their "mission critic…

I don't use latex compilation (so maybe I'm missing something), but the best solution to keeping things together *within Zotero* would probably be to add the files as attachments under the parent item. If there are multiple files from each compilati…

Firstly for clarity regarding terminology, "local storage" *only* means storage on your local computer, using its disk space. Uploading to Zotero servers - when syncing is ON - is not "Zotero's local storage". Regarding your question, again firstl…
