Zotero is obviously primarily focused on written works (although it also covers other media commonly referenced in academic work, such as video and audio). There is an item type for Web Page, so you can save an equipment manufacturer's product page…

I didn't mention anything about citation - that's not the issue I raised. But citing it in Zotero is not completely straightforward when it's categorized simply as a Journal Article - see later. My main issue is that that categorization in my libra…

If dragging PDFs into Zotero, you just drag them *without* holding down the Ctrl key (Windows). Zotero creates a copy of the PDF in local Zotero\storage. If you have Zotfile installed and you add downloaded PDFs via the Zotero Connector then Zotfil…

You should never directly delete folders under Zotero\storage. There are entries in the Zotero database that refer to to those folders. Zotero can manage the sort of problems you have by itself. Hopefully there won't be any fallout from your strateg…

Firstly I would not be editing the sqlite database directly if you are contemplating that - Zotero devs always advise against that. Secondly, while you obviously have some linked files (the ones that *already* have the "attachments:" prefix in the …
-
The 'attachments:' prefix in front of the linked PDF file name in the sqlite database means that at some point you set a Linked Attachment Base Directory location in Zotero preferences (without that, each linked PDF file's location path is explicitl…

At a given level of collections, you can rename the most important collections with an _underscore prefix so that they appear at the top of the collections list at that level in the left pane. I assume that the new collections search in the v7 beta …

You can do this with emoji that appear next to the item in the main pane. For example using the star ⭐️ or number emojis. https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/413708

Steps to follow for toolbar not appearing are here - some general, some OS/Word-version specific: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#zotero_toolbar_doesn_t_appear

Has Zotero considered adding database and PDF encryption as an option ? And MFA. Some people are naturally going to be concerned about "US servers" ... or anyone else's servers for that matter. Encrypted or otherwise. But there are probably people a…

The Zotfile plugin does not export annotations (it used to *extract* annotations into a Zotero note that had been added to a PDF with an external viewer; but that was prior to Zotero v6 when the internal PDF reader was added). Zotero can export ann…

Your problem is with local Zotero storage so seems unrelated to Zotfile. It's most likely to get the quick attention of the devs here if you don't mention plugins in your thread title that are not their responsibility to support. ;)

Just like if *any* files fill up your computer's disk drive to almost its capacity, a Zotero library can impact the performance of the computer when not using Zotero (as well when using it). The options to improve things include: 1. remove other, un…

Are the documents 'linked' PDF attachments (ie not under Zotero\storage), stored in a folder on onedrive ? https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files If so, your syncing across computers is managed by onedrive, not Zotero. Or do y…

You can have multiple libraries via multiple profiles as mentioned, just like in Firefox (the underlying architecture of Zotero). And you don't have to use the command interface as suggested at the link below: you just append -P to the shortcut that…

Currently the best option is to create a Standalone Note in the collection. If you sort the collection by Title, choosing an appropriate first character for the note (eg *) can be used to make the note appear at the top of the collection in the midd…

1. You enter the thesis type in the right Info pane for the Thesis item type. Those types then appear in the dropdown as options once you have added more theses of different types and then start to type in that field. 3. If you mean dragging a PDF …

I know people who have their Zotero data/files on a small portable external drive which they move between computers, which is classed as relatively safe (so also requiring good backups). https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/advanced "External …

By your description of 'linked' files in your last para do you mean that you already have your PDFs stored as linked files, not 'stored' files (the latter meaning those under the Zotero-managed Zotero\storage folder hierarchy) ? And if so, are both …

Zotero for iOS (and Android too, currently in beta) only supports 'stored 'files, not linked files. https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#stored_files_and_linked_files Zotfile has the Send to Tablet workaround for linked files which works …

If I understand your question correctly - "how can I know one paper cited by which papers in Zotero" - there is one plugin that will at least give you the opposite of those relationships ... a list of the papers that single paper cites (by PDF text …

Yes, as I say if your linked PDF is in the Custom Location folder it will stay there when you use right-click Rename and Move to rename the PDF.
-
I am not entirely clear on the problem. If as you say you have existing *linked-file* PDFs (not locally stored PDFs) they are presumably already in Zotfile's Custom Location folder (as set under Zotfile Preferences\General Settings), where you want …

For the single item this affects, do you have the author's full name inserted as a single-field author name, instead of the usual two-field setting ?

For translating entire PDFs, I use Google Translate's free document translation .... https://support.google.com/translate/answer/2534559 https://translate.google.com It's not perfect, and it often messes up formatting, but it's not bad for free. Oc…
