@rjlyman101 Zotfile is not being updated to work in Zotero v7. The Zotfile-like plugins for Zotero v7 are zotmoov and attanger. Both provide similar support for linked attachment file handling. Zotfile's enhanced file renaming is now provided by Zot…

All plugins had to be re-written for Zotero v7. Some were not, including Zotfile. The Zotfile-like plugins for Zotero v7 are Zotmoov or Attanger. Both provide similar support for linked attachment file handling. Zotfile's enhanced file renaming is n…

The Zotero-v7 compatible version of zotero-style is still designated as a "pre-release" version, so it doesn't appear as the Latest (v6) version on the github front page (that may change in the next few days now that Zotero v7 has been released). Bu…

Using unformatted citations might also be an option for you if other options are impractical. It avoids the need to use the word processor plugin. You can either just type in the plain text citations in curly brackets, or use Quick Copy. You save th…

Avoiding inconsistency is indeed a good reason why diacritic removal from file names is useful. Diacritics are not universally applied in all data sources that a user may add to Zotero. So if author names are included in file names for example, it …

@xuxinliang the Zutilo plugin can copy attachment paths to the clipboard via right click menu and also via a user-chosen keyboard shortcut (eg Ctrl-Alt-C). https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo

I believe that plugin will *duplicate* the PDFs in those OS folders in local Zotero storage, in a collection structure that matches the folder structure. @kolkrabe asked for the PDFs to be saved as linked files, ie linked back to where they are cur…

Yes, you can paste a list of tags (one per line) into the Zotero tag addition box. Then hit the Add button again. The Zutilo plugin supplies multiple other useful tags operations, eg copying tags from one item to the clipboard, and then pasting the…

Sorry, I wrote my reply at the same time. In any case, saving images as separate files under an item as I described is an alternative solution to the problem (allowing Zotfile/cloud folder to sync them across devices).
-
If your problem is simply in getting Zotfile to move *other* file types (eg JPG) saved under an item to its Custom Location folder (eg Onedrive), you would add them to the list of file types able to be moved (eg by right-click Manage Attachments\Ren…

As Zotero 7 is still in beta, the instructions on how best to migrate a linked attachment file setup from v6 to v7 (changing from Zotfile to zotmoov or attanger) have not really been discussed in any detail around here. But that should happen when Z…

'itemID' in that itemAttachments table maps to the same 'itemID' in the items table, where you find the 'key' field, which is the folder name (under the Zotero data directory's 'storage' folder) where attachments with that 'storage:' prefix are stor…

Both the link at zotfile.com and the file link at github are to the same xpi file location. Currently that link is: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/releases/download/v5.1.2/zotfile-5.1.2-fx.xpi Are you able to download anything at all from gith…

I assume you are talking about how the citation would look in a bibliography ? Perhaps if you showed an example of how you would like the citation to look (including the base bibliographic style), someone may have some ideas on how to do it. I'm not…

If the PDF is already in your library (but without a parent item), and the Zotero Connector can create a (new) item with good metadata from Google Scholar, you could just drag the PDF onto the new item.

Works for me. If you are trying to download it in Firefox, you have to do a right-click Save As on the Download link to save the .xpi file. Otherwise Firefox thinks it is a Firefox addon (also .xpi files) and tries to open it, but can't. After downl…

@erinice chances are you are hitting the problem with the instructions mentioned below - that is, that the Scannable Cite.js file must be installed in the Zotero\translators directory, not the data directory as stated. https://forums.zotero.org/disc…

First, confirm that you are not at the limit of your online storage quota at the link below (which would explain why some files were not uploaded from your old computer; and which would have been accompanied by a sync error message at the top right …

The Rayyan instructions do say "select the specific references you intend to export" but then are for exporting your whole library, using Zotero's "Export Library". You want "Export Collection" ... https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/exporting

You have 4 copies of the Zotero Add-in listed in the Word Add-Ins list, 3 active and 1 inactive (in your original screen grab that you then removed).

I see that a lot too. Happens when I'm editing data in the Info pane while the upload/sync of the initial metadata for the item is occurring (e.g. just after download from the web connector). My edited entries will get reverted to what they were ini…

Can the two installed versions operate on the same database (obviously not at the same time), or must you keep separate databases ?

If you at least want to find all the authors you have stored under different variations of their name, the code in this thread is an easy way to do so. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/411459/#Comment_411459 The question of what to do …

AFAIK currently the only way to do that is via an Advanced (saved) Search for Item Type IS Annotation. I would guess that an extra column type for Annotations (similar to the current Notes) might be added in the future. I believe that the appearance…

I wrote this as @adamsmith was writing his response, and it expands somewhat on those considerations. If a user needs cloud storage of *linked* PDF attachment files, setting a Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) only facilitates a rather small …
