Zotmoov or Attanger replace Zotfile in v7.
-
@emilianoeheyns I just tested your suggestion for diacritic removal from last year above ... replaceFrom="\\p{M}" replaceTo="" regexOpts="g" My full string was intended to emulate the Zotfile default - {%a_}{%y_}{%t} - additionally with its diacrit…

What would your desired workflow be ? If for example you have one item with a set of tags that you wish to apply to a selection of other items, you can copy/paste all those tags with the Zutilo plugin.
-
@katieosha another way to address that issue would be to convert the archive PDFs to "linked" files (that only exist on your local PC or cloud folder or ext drive).
-
Apologies if I misunderstand what you want to achieve, but you can just drag a selection of files from Zotero to a folder in your OS - a copy of the files will be put in the folder. That would allow you to "share the PDFs ... with non-Zotero users".…

The Ethereal Style plugin's Graph View does something like that (although not quite as powerful as you suggest) for item attributes including tags. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style?tab=readme-ov-file#graph-view
-
%c in Zotfile set the *folder* name (in which it placed the linked PDF) to the same name as the collection to which the user saved it. It did not do that for the filename (unless that was a bug; because the docs explicitly said "only for sub-folders…
-
But doesn't that mean what it says ... that it worked for naming folders but not files ? Your example was of a file renamed that way (according to its collection name). Zotmoov and Attanger do support the folder naming feature from Zotfile.
-
The plugins that replace Zotfile - Zotmoov and Attanger - now leave linked file renaming to Zotero's enhanced renaming scheme. However there are some things that Zotfile's scheme did that Zotero's doesn't (eg diacritic removal). From your post I wa…

The Attachment Scanner plugin allows you to add an Attachment Size column ... https://github.com/SciImage/zotero-attachment-scanner#add-columns
-
I see you have posted the problem you found under Issues at github. The plugin has had quite a few changes recently so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference/issues/367 I don't know of any other …

The online web library does not support WebDAV (although that is noted under the regular Storage heading rather than under the WebDAV heading in the docs) ... "Zotero Storage is the recommended file sync option. It has several advantages over WebDAV…
-
@PX2 there is also a plugin that allows you to open a PDF in an external PDF reader with one or two less clicks than Show in Finder ... https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf
-
The Reference plugin can do that. But there are some reasons why it may not work perfectly. It needs to find the paper's reference list from online repositories where journal publishers upload them, and those are not always complete. It then compare…
-
A Linked Attachment Base Directory setting has no effect on where PDFs get stored - it only affects where Zotero *looks* for PDFs when trying to open them (and you only need to set a LABD when you use more than one computer and the parent paths to y…
-
The only (moderately complex, and not officially supported) way to do it would be to convert the old PDFs to "linked" files, stored only on the local machine in another folder, not under Zotero\storage (although they should be backed up in some way,…
-
Do you have "Show Items from Subcollections" turned ON on one computer but not the other ? https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#show_items_from_subcollections
-
You would first decide which existing PDFs you wish to convert to linked files. They can live anywhere you want, including on an external drive. If you try to open such a PDF without your drive plugged in, Zotero will just show an error saying it ca…
-
That's quite a mess you've got there. You have files that have not only changed their path since Zotero stored that path (when they were added), but also some file names appear to have changed (although that could be due to how you copy/pasted the f…
-
If your linked files have a different parent folder on each computer, you set a Linked Attachment Base Directory on each computer. https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/advanced#files_and_folders Note that the LABD has no effect on where files…

Zotero syncs "stored" PDFs across devices via its own servers (300mb free). But if you really want to keep your PDFs on Google Drive and have Google do the file syncing, you can use "linked" PDFs instead. Note their limitations (don't work with Zote…
-
https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#unfiled_items Edit: Your title says "any collection", so I assumed you don't mean not in a *particular* collection.
-
Are we talking about "linked" PDFs or "stored" PDFs. And are their parent items there in your Zotero library or not ? https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files If you're saying that the parent items *and* "stored" PDFs are no long…
-
"Aren't there" doesn't give us anything to go on to advise on your issue. You can refer to https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/files_not_syncing . But we would need more information on what you're actually seeing in Zotero - like error messages - to a…
-
Presumably you mean PDFs ? Does Zotero show an error message when you try to open one of those PDFs ? What exactly does one of those error messages say ?
-
I believe that changing Style settings for Storage from Note to File should fix it.
-
Were you using Zotfile for that ? If so, it no longer works in Zotero v7 but the Zotmoov or Attanger plugins replace most of its functionality. As Zotero enhanced its file renaming for v7, those plugins now let Zotero do the renaming rather than doi…
-
Latest Zutilo versions are fully v7 compatible, although missing a small number of the old features IIRC. Copy/paste tags does work. https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo/releases
