I haven't used attanger or zotmoov as I'm not using the v7 beta. The core functionality of Zotfile is fairly simple: (1) automatic moving/renaming attachments downloaded by the Zotero web connector to the Zotfile Custom Location folder, and (2) a ma…

While Zotfile works in Zotero v6, its documentation has not been maintained as you note. And it does not work in Zotero v7, currently in beta. There are several new plugins capable of Zotfile's functionality in Zotero v7 (with the exception of Send …

The usual way to get Zotfile to automatically rename and move PDFs as they are added is to add them from the article's web page via the Zotero Web Connector in the standard way. If you already have PDFs in your Onedrive folder, you can use modifier…

If Zotero can't open a linked PDF on any computer, it usually just means that you have not set a Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) for that computer, or you have not set it correctly, or you haven't put that PDF in the right location where it …

An Unfiled item exists only at the (top) Library level. If you delete it, it will be gone from your Library (actually it will be in the trash until that is automatically cleared after the #days specified under General Preferences). An Unfiled item …

1. The link offers two common scenarios: (a) back up your whole computer (ie so you have a back up of everything you have, not just Zotero), or (b) back up your Zotero data directory (including everything under it). For '(b)', you could indeed regu…

I have collections at the top of my collections tree for multiple similar applications: __to be filed __to be read __to be OCRed __to be translated I usually select the '__to be filed' collection when saving new PDFs via the Web Connector. From the…

@hlpayne the Zotero data folder (under which is the storage folder tree where each PDF has its own folder) cannot be in cloud storage; due to the danger of the Zotero sqlite database in that data folder then being write-able by the cloud app. https:…

@wtanksleyjr re Zotfile, its replacements under Zotero v7 (currently in beta) are attanger or zotmoov. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/104858/on-zotfile-development-and-zotero-7

In addition to the instructions on how you could still use an external PDF reader at the above link, the ability to open any PDF in the system PDF reader via single right click is provided by this plugin. https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pd…

I agree, ordering options would be very helpful. Currently you get the order with which you added the Related items, which is arbitrary. Being able to move them around (or sort by title) would be great. I mostly use Related for important items in th…

The actual link to Reference Extractor web app is the one I included earlier: https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/

@khenggel you can now also do this with ChatGPT and Bibtex import to a single collection. It only requires plain text, not live Zotero citations in a MS Word document like Reference Extractor (https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/). Anystyle is the…

I think you mean @damnation. ;)

Did you follow *all* the steps at @dstillman's link above ? ie those that prevent online content from overwriting the restored local data, and then forcing it to update the online from the local.

There are styles for both here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=animal If the one you want is not 100% correct vs official instructions at the bottom below, post error(s) back here as described. https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blo…

You should not need to modify anything. The instructions for Animals are below. They link to the Zotero style. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/animals/instructions#back

Unfortunately this forum is mostly problem-based. Peoples' opinions on the best practices that work for them don't get enough discussion. If I were to describe my rules of thumb they would be maximize tags and minimize sub-collections. And make ful…

There are some current means to extract a cited reference list from a single published PDF, but they are not perfect and require some manual checking work. Especially for the use case you describe, which requires extracting cited references from all…
-
Since linked PDFs are (most commonly) all stored in the same folder, they must have distinct names. So Zotfile (AFAIK) adds the '2' suffix if there is already a file of the same name in that folder (or higher numbered suffixes if there are more than…

Is your data on the two computers under different (online) Zotero account names ?

That's a very poorly worded instruction from the publisher. If taken literally it would be turning away most of their potential authors for scholarly works. They should just say to submit a 'flattened' final document, or words to that effect. Most p…

@pivik people who need easier access to their PDFs outside Zotero often look at linked attachments. Often with management aided via Zotfile. Linked files also have limitations though (see link below). And complex named sub-folder arrangements in you…

That's not a Zutilo option I've used before, but I just tried it a few times and it works for me (same Zotero/Zutilo versions, W10); albeit it's sometimes a little slower for some reason. You would need to notify the developer: https://github.com/…
-
It's not the most 'bullet-proof' setup but I have seen such setups work well. If you need to move large file collections between different PCs it's a reasonable way of doing it. It's the way people often moved their work between work desktop PCs and…

Re Explorer ... yes, whatever file/folder viewer you have on your OS. The purpose of that test was to copy the full path (from Zutilo) where Zotero *thinks* a linked file is located, and then try to open the file at that path outside Zotero ... whi…
-
When you select one of the problematic linked PDFs and use Zutilo right-click to 'Copy attachment paths', and paste that path into the Explorer address bar, does it then find/open that PDF in an external PDF reader ?
