A new profile is usually associated with a new, different library, so the sentence in the docs "If you see your existing data directory in the new profile, create a new data directory manually..." is correct - you should *not* generally see the data…

@nes34 the (Onedrive) locations of your *existing* linked PDF attachment files are already stored in the Zotero database. If you disabled Zotfile (under Zotero v6), they would still be located by Zotero when you ask it to open them. That does not re…

See also from the devs: "... we're going to add the option to display the filename in the items list instead of the attachment title." https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/456251/#Comment_456251

@aramanijam it's not clear which of the two methods I outlined above you are using. So it's not exactly clear where you're hitting a problem. In the first method (2nd last para), your linked-file PDF attachment remains in its cloud folder all alon…

Use join=" & " within the double brackets for creators/authors. https://www.zotero.org/support/file_renaming#customizing_the_filename_format

The zotero-reference plugin does that. Either by text-parsing the paper's reference list directly, or API lookup at Crossref (for journal papers deposited there). It puts the list in a new References pane, and checks by DOI for which references are …

If you just want a separate Zotero library for your sheet music collection (with syncing turned OFF), you can set up a separate profile. You would then append -P to the shortcut that starts Zotero in your OS, which will allow you to select which pro…

The location of your *existing* linked PDFs is already stored in your Zotero database, so there is no danger to those in migrating to Zotero v7 (without Zotfile). As in your screenshot, that location is the Custom Location folder specified in Zotfil…

Use both. And saved searches. Different knowledge domains may need different approaches. Be aware of "collection bloat" though, where you end up with dozens or even 100s of collections, where it can be hard to find items you want ... buried somewhe…

@samanthaculp Zotmoov's "Move to Selected Directory" is just the equivalent of Zotfile's right-click Rename&Move (which moves a PDF to Zotfile's Custom Location folder). Zotmoov's "Directory To Move Files to" (same as Custom Location folder) is…

Have you reached your online file storage quota ? https://www.zotero.org/settings/storage If not, and file syncing is not working for you, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/files_not_syncing

The Zoplicate plugin gives you those options. When it detects a likely duplicate it shows a simple interface where you can choose between all possible options: Keep New: Set the new item as the master item and merge the duplicates. Keep Old:…

@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 Zotfile-like plugins for Zotero v7 are zotmoov and attanger. They provide similar extra support for linked attachment file handling. Zotfile's enhanced file renaming is now provided by Zotero v7's enhanced capabilities. Neither plugin offers Zot…

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…
