As far as adding that set of tags to lots of items, that could be done with the Zutilo plugin. Right-click on an item that already has those 10 tags and 'Copy tags to clipboard', then select all the items that need those tags and right-click 'Paste …

This macro-based MS Word add-in does that for .docx files. Those clickable links should persist when saved to PDF but I have not seen that confirmed. https://github.com/sbaydin/ZoteroCiteLinker It can also turn URLs in the bibliography into active,…

Do you mean where that happens automatically ... that every PDF downloaded by the web connector *also* has a copy placed in a pre-designated folder ? If so, you may be recalling Zotmoov's option to to make that extra copy (instead of its more comm…

Since my earlier post about 7 weeks ago, the number of Zotero AI plugins has ballooned from 29 to almost 50. That number of options is thus even more daunting for the average user to negotiate. And it will likely get worse. Also, many of the current…

Edit: @factmission, reading your post again, it's not clear that your PDFs were 'linked' files *before* you copied them to the USB drive. If they were, then what I wrote below still applies. But if they were 'stored' files under c:/Users/John/Zotero…

There is a VBA macro for MS Word which does that, but I don't believe anyone has done one for LibreOffice. https://github.com/sbaydin/ZoteroCiteLinker Perhaps a project for someone ? An AI chatbot like Gemini might be smart enough to do a direct tr…

In my case, I wish to record the URL where I got the PDF from, in cases where that is not the same as the DOI-link URL (or when no DOI exists). So my URL field, when filled, rarely leads to the same URL as the DOI, if that exists. It's not the most …
-
I note the prominent warning on the github front page ... "READ CAREFULLY: The plugin will OVERWRITE the existing URL metadata of your items with the OpenAlex Work URL. The rational is to use the DOI link as one-click link to the original source and…

Re your first question, the Attachment Scanner plugin can add a column for attachment size. https://github.com/SciImage/zotero-attachment-scanner

Suggestions to improve this process have been made for a long time. Originally there was no right-click Create Book Section at all, and so chapters/book sections had to created entirely manually (IIRC the Zutilo plugin first automated the process). …
-
There was a plugin that used the left and right arrow keys for backward/forward navigation - see below. It worked well, but it was never updated beyond Zotero 5. The code is still there, so it could be a simple plugin project for anyone looking for …

There are several roundabout ways to find items without PDF attachments in Zotero 9, but none work very well. As you found "Attachment File Type is not PDF" doesn't seem to work for *all* PDFs (for example linked PDFs). But "Attachment File Type i…

Is the problem now solved ? It's still hard to understand exactly how you got into this situation, what that full situation is, and how/where you actually want your PDFs to be saved (stored or linked ?).
-
I realize Zotero can now display filenames in place of titles in the main library view. I personally prefer the way Zotfile did it for years (explicitly making the two the same), which Zotmoov continues to do by default. But linked files users can e…
-
@jdien regarding linked file renaming, if you use the Zotmoov plugin, its right-click "Move Selected to Directory" actually does *two* things: 1. if linked file renaming is turned ON in Zotero settings, it renames *both* the title and the filename t…
-
@abdelali.elhachimialaoui there may be a current issue (#80) that covers a problem like yours. In any case you can add your own report there in github. https://github.com/syt2/zotero-scipdf/issues While I don't use that scipdf plugin often I do fi…

Indeed 'nearly' the same separation as different libraries can be achieved with top-level collections. For example, at its simplest ... Professional and Private. When working under one top-level collection hierarchy, the other hierarchy can be colla…
-
@Amit3821 firstly, Zotero itself cannot sync linked PDFs to the Zotero mobile apps. That is a fundamental limitation of linked files. https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files So there are only 'workarounds' for mobile access to l…
-
@AymanNad, reading the github issue it seems to be (or have been ?) associated only with a narrow set of circumstances. There has been a major plugin update (v5) since the last report, but it is not clear if it addresses those circumstances (the iss…
-
The Reference Extractor web app is another way to do this. Load your Word (.docx) or LibreOffice (.odt) file with 'live' citations, then click Select in Zotero and drag the selected items to a collection. You can also save to one of various file typ…
-
If you use the Zotmoov plugin to handle linked files, it will set the displayed title to match the file name by default when adding new linked files (the same behaviour used by the now-defunct Zotfile, that many linked file users were accustomed to …

Finding "orphaned" attachments is a difficult problem, because by definition Zotero has no record of them. And by the way, AFAIK there is no known Zotero bug that would cause them to occur. More often they seem to arise when people try to do odd thi…
-
Half of that works - you can of course unlink citations and send a flattened copy of the document. But getting citations from the returned document would require Anystyle to parse for citations, which would need importing and re-matching to your Zot…

Regarding your original question about seeing attachment size from with Zotero, the Attachment Scanner plugin allows you to add a column for individual attachment size. https://github.com/SciImage/zotero-attachment-scanner Your total online file st…

I've seen this from time to time too. I thought at one stage it might be associated with particular types of pasted image files, but don't think that is the case now. For me it seems to be mostly (always ?) associated with pasting an image into a n…
-
Assuming this is the plugin you mean, you can update directly from github. Apparently the plugin's auto-updating was broken at one stage ... which might have left you with a version that is no longer compatible with a recent Zotero update you did ? …
-
With 1000 PDFs, it would be best to first add a small chunk (say 10), to see what they look like in Zotero. Using the File\Add Attachment\Add Link to File method, they will come in as standalone "linked" PDFs. Most "items" in Zotero instead usually…

There is now a plugin to establish a watch folder. https://github.com/josesiqueira/zotero-watch-folder

@jandavid if by not keeping it 'up to date' you mean the automatic name change that should occur when you change any relevant metadata, there is a preference which determines if that happens ... extensions.zotero.autoRenameFiles.onMetadataChange It…

The Attachment Scanner plugin recently added the ability to tag items with #stored or #linked attachments (or your own chosen custom tags). See #7 here ... https://github.com/SciImage/zotero-attachment-scanner#technical-notes It can also add column…
