It looks to be from the ethereal style plugin. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style/issues/34

The sqlite files are in your data folder - see below. So make sure that folder is backed up, along with all the folders under it. If you use linked attachment files, their folder(s) should also be backed up. https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_dat…

If you are talking about dragging and dropping *within* Zotero, there are not multiple copies of files, nor parent and child files. Every item and its attachment file(s) exists (once only) at the My Library level. It can then belong to one or more c…

Is the green sync arrow spinning when you notice things getting slow ? If your linked files folder is cloud-mirrored, is the cloud service uploading in these instances ? (usually visible as uploading traffic in network activity monitor, if the serv…

Make sure View\Show Items From Subcollections is OFF. If that setting is OFF and you are seeing items in a given collection, the most likely explanation is that they are actually in that collection. You can confirm if items are actually in a collec…

Excel should open CSV files and separate the columns automatically *except* in some regions (eg parts of Europe) where the comma is used as the decimal separator, eg 10,5 instead of 10.5. You can change default delimiters in Excel's advanced option…

To be clear, you can't use a cloud service for your Zotero data folder. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/data_directory_in_cloud_storage_folder If you have set Zotero's Data Directory Location (under Advanced\Files & Folders) to Google Drive yo…

All you really needed to do was change the *existing* large attachment files in local Zotero storage to linked files and then make sure you are synced. That change would most easily be done with Zotmoov or attanger (the Zotfile-like plugins compatib…

Web page developers are very inconsistent in the metadata they provide to Zotero for extraction. The title is often all you get (and that may not be the title that is actually at the top of the web page). Often the author has not been encoded in the…

Do you have a setting for Linked Attachment Base Directory (which only determines where Zotero *looks* for linked files, not where they are stored) ? Have your linked files ever been moved in your OS to a different location (or did a cloud folder w…

That sounds like a child note ... https://www.zotero.org/support/notes#child_notes As well as in the main library pane under the item to which they belong, child notes appear in the right pane of the PDF reader. But if you wished to write notes in…

For anyone else about to migrate to Zotero v7, it is important to first check your plugins for v7 compatibility ... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/116639/plugin-checking-before-migrating-to-zotero-v7

What happens when you right-click "Show File" on one of these PDFs ?

Updating Zutilo for Zotero v7 is apparently still underway. https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo/issues/248

Subfolders for linked files are not widely used, partly for that reason. Folders do not work the same way as Collections. Duplicating the same linked file in multiple folders would conflict with the Zotero Collections model. Having all one's linked …

Zotmoov and attanger are the Zotfile-like plugins that work in Zotero v7. https://github.com/wileyyugioh/zotmoov https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger

Those are not currently features of Zotero. The first can be achieved with a Word macro for many styles. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/460379/#Comment_460379 Making URL hyperlinks 'live' is a Word feature. https://answers.microsoft.c…

Click on "Zotero Storage quota" in the second paragraph there.

I see that Zotmoov does have the option to delete linked attachments (if turned ON in its settings). Zotfile didn't, which is why delitemwithatt was needed. Not sure about attanger (the other Zotfile-like v7 compatible plugin).

What exactly does the error message say when you double click on a PDF ? Are these PDFs that are currently on, or were once on, this particular computer ?

The "move to subdirectories {%c}" option is only if you want your linked files in a subfolder (subdirectory) under the "move to" directory, named the same as the collection they came from. Relatively few people probably used/use that option with Zot…

The LABD sets where Zotero *looks* for linked files. The location of all existing and future linked attachment files is effectively saved in the database as the LABD (specific to each computer). So it has to be set on each computer. You did several…

You need a Linked Attachment Base Directory setting on each computer.

Did you set the Linked Attachment Base Directory to the appropriate, different folder on *both* computers ? When you try to open a linked PDF on each computer, do you get an error message ? If so, what exactly does it say ? Incidentally, why did yo…
