I have never heard of that error message not including the actual path where Zotero expected to find the PDF file. But you have a complex unsupported setup (symlinks etc). I assume from what you say that you are using a linked PDF file setup (ie you…
-
Zotero still thinks your linked files are at their old location because you haven't done anything to change their location information in its database. You moved your linked files in your OS - outside of Zotero - and that's why Zotero is telling you…

In your first screenshot, Zotero thinks Trauma.pdf is at /Users/mac/Downloads/Trauma.pdf. But it obviously isn't there. I assume that screenshot is *not* from the computer where you first linked that PDF (where it still exists at that location). M…

@Max_inf what do you mean by "link" ? Just a one-time export/import of reference data from your employer's Filemaker Pro database to Zotero ? (this thread is actually about going in the other direction) Filemaker Pro is obviously just a general dat…

@s1968258 you could do that with @dstillman 's code above, by first selecting all items in the collection you want tags from: select collection, select any item, Ctrl-A to select all items, then run the code to get the tag list. You can also run it …

Retrieving data from Windows laptops with removeable SSDs or hard disks that are still functional (when the computer is not) is usually relatively straightforward in my experience; if you are comfortable opening your laptop and removing components. …

There is a version of the APA style for annotated bibliographies, that includes the content of the Extra field. Putting that information in that field would achieve what you want. https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:apa-annotated-bibliography

Not a note ? ;) When you hover over that icon in the taskbar it says "Add Note". So it's an understandable misunderstanding. Is there somewhere where it's called a "note annotation" ? I think I've mentioned that ambiguity before, and suggested 'Comm…

Zotfile does not work in Zotero 7 (currently still in beta). The current alternatives are attanger and zotmoov. If your issue is with one of those it would be best to post your issue at github. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger/issues …

What would happen if you re-framed the original question to ChatGPT (or issued the DOI question as a follow-up) ? - "Please convert this list of references into an RIS file. Also please find and add DOIs for those references which lack them". ;)

Do you only require a single bibliography for the entire combined thesis, or a bibliography for each chapter ?

To be clear, you do mean linked PDF attachment files not PDF files in local Zotero storage (under Zotero\storage), correct ? (sometimes people use the term 'linked' file ambiguously - it has a specific meaning in Zotero) When you move a Zotero item…

I also saw someone suggest that method of using ChatGPT to parse a reference list to get it into Zotero, in that case via BibTex ... https://twitter.com/MushtaqBilalPhD/status/1753785908266963066

Tags would be the way to do that. If you want the type to visible in the main pane, you would assign a colour to the tag. If you want to make particular types easily accessible all at once, you would use a saved search.

If you mean that you have "attachment notes" - that is, notes belonging to individual attachment files (image files in your case) - my understanding is that they are being phased out. There were quite a few capabilities of other note types that they…

Firstly, the normal way to have linked attachment files available to Zotero across computers is to store them in a cloud-mirrored folder (eg Dropbox, Google Drive), at the same path on each computer. Or if the cloud-mirrored folder has a different p…
-
There's no real need for a more complex Linked Attachment Base Directory functionality to support that use case. One way to handle it would be to create a new folder in your OS for the PDF files sent to you, and a collection for them in Zotero. The…

Instructions for that Quick Copy method (that uses the system clipboard not the word processor plugin) are here: https://www.zotero.org/support/creating_bibliographies#quick_copy If it's not working for you, describe your Export settings (ie item f…

As the OP's institution was blocking 7-zip, that method would not have worked for them. Although maybe another zip utility that *is* allowed at their institution would work in place of the 7-zip method described ? But then after un-zipping, attempti…

There can be a short delay (minutes) before changes (emptying the bin) are reflected in online storage when synced. However it's also possible that your local storage (still) exceeds your online file storage quota, in which case the displayed Curren…

There are different ways of adding linked PDF attachment files, for different scenarios. Zotfile is involved in some of those ways. Zotero also has some of its own ways of adding linked files. Additionally, only the Zotfile ways use Zotfile's renami…

That link suggests using a symlink to iCloud for the zotero\storage folder (where PDFs and some other things are stored). The Zotero database remains locally stored (one level up from that). Whether (meta)data syncing (free/unlimited) can be turned …

The zotero-reference plugin is the nearest to doing that. It will read an article's reference list by parsing the PDF, or loading it from Crossref. It puts the list in a new References tab in the PDF Reader. It highlights those references already in…

It's a little hard to understand your exact problem. However it may relate to the differences between merging and deleting. And the need to record accurate counts for certain types of academic search jobs. When you merge two items that exist in two…

Another postscript to this old thread: the delitem plugin can now delete the linked PDF attachment when an item is deleted. There is a version for Zotero v6 (0.1.06) and the latest version for the Zotero v7 beta. https://github.com/redleafnew/delite…

Since you have an existing folder of PDF books that you wish to maintain, you can create linked attachments in Zotero to those files in their folder. Linked files do have some limitations described at the link below, but they would suit your compute…

How are you manually adding the file ? If you drag a PDF from a folder in your OS onto a Zotero item, Zotero will first copy the file to a folder under Zotero\storage; and then Zotfile will kick in and rename/move it from that location to its Custom…
