The ability to open all of an item's image-file attachments at once (from their individual folders under Zotero\storage) could be written in a plugin. Somewhat similar to the Preview plugin that displays one or more pages of a PDF in a Preview tab o…

I have also run into poor unicode support in *other* applications when handling diacritics in PDF filenames, which then impacted on Zotero's correct handling. For example when *external* custom code searches for orphaned PDF attachments in a list of…

For attachment files (PDFs etc), you can use linked files in such a location, if you can live with the limitations (they don't work with Groups or the mobile apps or the web library). You are responsible for syncing those files across computers (ie …

You can indeed search the Zotero styles repository for 'annot' - for the several existing modifications of standard styles that would include the descriptions for an annotated bibliography if added in the Extra field. Perhaps it is worth creating a …

An Advanced Search is the easiest way to find all items of a given type. The search interface does not display the count of how many items it returned (that feature should be added). However if you save that search and click on it in the left pane t…

You can generate reports by right clicking on one or more selected items in the main library pane of the Zotero Desktop, then selecting Generate Report from Item. That Report includes any Notes under the item(s). https://www.zotero.org/support/repor…

OK ... that Zotero Web Connector example with PDFs *currently open* in your browser is another caveat I guess. ;) I can't recall that I've ever struck that one, because I almost never open a journal article PDF in my browser, and then download via t…

Firstly, is the PDF currently being saved successfully under Zotero\storage - that is, the problem is not related to the Zotero Web Connector ? For Zotfile to work, you just need the Custom Location folder to be entered *and* that option selected. …

If you do not wish to add the PDF to an existing item, the method is to drop it *between* (any) existing items. Zotero will show a a thin line if your mouse cursor is between items when you are about to drop (as opposed to highlighting an item if yo…

In @JavierHerRe 's other thread, using the modifier key* when dragging PDFs from an existing folder - when you want to keep them stored in that folder - was mentioned as a way to create Zotero items with links to those PDFs in that folder. That wou…

So it sounds like you have your Zotero database on Onedrive and you also have your PDFs stored as linked attachments rather than under Zotero\storage. As you say, the first is a unsafe configuration (see 'Unsafe Data Directory Locations' at the link…

For a PDF in Zotero storage (under Zotero\storage), right click on the PDF and select Move Item to Bin/Trash. For a linked-file PDF, Zotero does not delete the PDF. Use delitem plugin: https://github.com/redleafnew/delitemwithatt

Follow steps 1-13 here. If no luck, see step 14. https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues

If you want to keep the PDFs in Google Drive rather than under Zotero\storage (the default) they will need to be as linked PDF files. Linked files have some limitations - they don't get file-synced across computers via Zotero servers (but Google Dr…

Zotero desktop, mobile, web ? Operating system ? Zotero version ?

@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa select a collection and then run this modification of the above code for linked attachment files: var CurrentCollection = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedCollection(); var filepathnames = await Zotero.DB.columnQueryAsync('S…

The drag method you've used so far is not actually using Zotfile. It's just Zotero's drag operation. If you want to add *existing* PDF files on your computer to Zotero (that do not yet have Zotero items) as linked files in a Google drive folder, yo…

Your use of 'upload' is a bit ambiguous/unclear. By 'upload a file to Zotero' do you mean via the Web Connector, or some other method ? https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero By 'uploads to Zotero Storage' do you mean online Zotero s…

The annotation display in your top screeenshot appears to be from the ethereal style plugin. As the right panel layout has changed in recent Zotero v7 betas (your bottom screenshot), you would have to communicate with the plugin developer about when…

You can get a list of attachment files (in local Zotero storage or linked files) as described here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/457471/#Comment_457471

As long as you have 'Add Number to Collection Tree' set to ON in the Style preferences (under Edit\Preferences) it does work (very well). You can turn off the many other functions if you wish (eg if things get slow with all set to ON). It is the onl…

There are linked file setups that have linked attachment files in different subfolders, usually all under a single parent folder. That doesn't require any dynamic changes to settings. But I don't use such a setup so I'm not the person to advise on i…

Assuming that you mean a 'snapshot' of the web page, the first thing to check is that you have Edit\Preferences\General\'Automatically take snapshots when creating items from web pages' in Zotero Desktop set to ON. https://www.zotero.org/support/pre…

@vijay.krishnan you can get a list of all linked attachments (not just PDFs) with the following code run under Tools\Developers\Run Javascript: var filepathnames = await Zotero.DB.columnQueryAsync('SELECT path AS filepathnames FROM itemAttachments …
