The ways of transferring a Zotero library to a new computer are described here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library The easiest way is syncing (Option A), if you were fully synced previously - in that case there is a full copy …

There is a script to do this with the Actions and Tags plugin: https://github.com/crnkv/Zotero-Action-Scripts-Collection/blob/master/Set This as Default PDF.js https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-actions-tags It works by setting your selected att…

Making all URLs in a document into live hyperlinks is a function of your word processor, not Zotero. If you want that, it's done as the last step, after unlinking live Zotero citations (obviously you should keep a copy that still has the live citati…

"To move items between collections, hold down Cmd (Mac) or Shift (Windows/Linux) when dragging items to the new collection. " https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#adding_items_to_collections The same applies to notes.

It's not clear that anything tags are supposed to do is not working for you. https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#tags 1. That's the normal right panel behaviour. If you want the tag panel to always appear when you select an item, do…

If you are using linked PDFs, those PDFs are not being synced by Zotero. But if you turn Zotero file syncing ON, anything *else* under Zotero\storage would be synced via Zotero servers - assuming their total space is less than your online file stora…

Assuming that the file's URL is also in the URL field in the right pane, does clicking on the little button at the end of the URL field ("View online") open it in your browser and show what you want ?

Re the earlier request for pinned collections, the Ethereal Style plugin has collection favourites (pinning) and sorting, by name (A-Z or Z-A) or item count (the plugin can also display item counts for *all* collections in the left pane). See versio…

JSTOR is a site that has required that you click through and accept terms and conditions before being able to save a PDF. If that is what is happening, you should only have to do it once in each session.

When you say "not being automatically attached" do you mean a journal article not being automatically downloaded/attached by the Zotero web connector when on a journal article web page ? The only Zotero setting necessary to do that is in General Set…

You can certainly do it just like that. Setting up Zotmoov's Custom Menus options for those operations just allows you to add some extra operations to those stock menu items, eg to tag linked items that are being moved back into local storage so th…

Actually I've just noticed that Convert Linked Files to Stored Files has an option on the dialox box: "Delete original file after storing". I've edited my original reply to clarify. So if you want to keep a copy of your original PDFs at their (old…

There is already this comprehensive site: https://zotero-chinese.com/ Amongst other things it has a plugin database that is also a very useful resource when translated to English (or other languages) by your browser. It is much more up-to-date that…

Syncing linked files to other *computers* (linked files only work across computers) is done using a cloud service like Dropbox, Google Drive, Onedrive, etc, which you set up to mirror the Zotmoov "Move To" folder to your other computers. But if you…

For Zotero desktop, the Attachment Scanner plugin can add columns for number of attachments and size of attachments. Although the latter is apparently slow, as it must be read from disk. I only use the attachment number. https://github.com/SciImage/…

These operations are indeed a tad complex to understand and set up. Zotmoov (and Attanger) were originally written to provide continuity for former Zotfile users when that stopped working in Zotero v6. Those users already understood how things worke…

Just add their file extensions to Zotmoov's "Allowed File Extensions". That will then apply to future files downloaded by the Zotero Web Connector (or Zotmoov's Attach New File). For existing files in local Zotero storage that you now want to conver…

The original linked files will be moved under Zotero\storage, each to an arbitrarily-named folder there. If you want to keep a separate copy of your files, copy their folder to a new folder first. CORRECTION: Convert Linked Files to Stored Files act…

Most people who need this do it with tags. By assigning a coloured tag, it appears next to the item title in the main library pane. After you have read a paper, you just drag the item from the main pane onto your tag at the top of the tags list in t…

I agree that Zotero very much needs more features to help with collection organization and navigation. A "Recently Read" collection is apparently forthcoming. Although the full forward/back functionality you allude to is really necessary. A full h…

Adding extra column types has most commonly been the province of plugins. There are plugins that add counts for other things, but not for Related as far as I know. But it would presumably be easy for a plugin to add that. Other "column" plugins ..…

Often it takes a while for the actual image to appear, after what seems to be just an initial grey rectangle placeholder. Under version 6 sometimes the image never appeared. It seems to be better under version 7.
