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 …

There are several v7 plugins that have most but not all of Zotfile functionality. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/104858/on-zotfile-development-and-zotero-7

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…

@jamarin this may be your issue: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/448191/#Comment_448191

There are snippets of javascript/SQL around here for some statistics, like tag counts and author counts. It's not too hard to devise others. Run under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript. There are no plugins that do this as far as I know. For example t…

@librarygeekadam I understand that you are using Google Drive in stream mode (not mirror mode) to avoid your linked PDFs there needing to be stored on your laptop. But you would only require enough *extra* space on your laptop to locally store the *…

Also, while it is possible to use the web version of Zotero only, it is always recommended that people primarily use the desktop version. Amongst the many advantages of the desktop version is that several recent backups are stored locally on your co…

Another simple way is to keep a collection named TO READ into which you put all new items (or just the ones that you *must* read). Once an item has been read, remove it from the collection. Of course you can also put each item into the collection(s)…

The zotero-reference plugin does that ... https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference (Chrome's right-click Translate to English does a good job with translating the instructions) When you open a PDF in the viewer, you have a right-pane Refere…

I've been using @chenglongma 's zoplicate plugin in the current version of Zotero (v6) and it has worked well so far. One thing I haven't tested is what it does with linked PDF attachments. So for example, where a duplicate is flagged on download a…

If you really need to keep your PDFs separate from Zotero (without duplication) - but still visible within Zotero - you can use linked files, as described at the link provided earlier (albeit with some limitations, described there) ... and mentioned…

It depends on what copies/backups of your data folder/sqlite you have access to, and/or whether you were syncing online. Restoring from backups, and the options for transferring a library from one computer to another are described here: https://www.…

You can setup Zotfile to move the other non-Zotero file types like word processor, excel, jpg, powerpoint, txt, mp4, wav to its Custom Location as linked files, along with the linked PDFs. The default setting of Tools\Zotfile Preferences\Advanced Se…

On your new computer, when you go to Edit\Preferences\Advanced\Files & Folders\Data Directory Location and click on the Show Data Directory button, does it open the location to which you copied your Data Directory ? What is the size of the zote…

I've seen the same issue. You can't have a PDF open in another program and then ask Zotfile to move it. Similar to trying to move a file in your operating system and getting the error "This file can't be moved because it is open in another program".…

There is probably no totally ideal solution here. Unless someone has techniques that allow Track Changes to work 100% reliably with live citations. And Track Changes *is* the best way for others to edit/suggest edits for Word docs. Some other consid…

Track changes are important in document reviews. Flatten the Zotero citations for the copy sent for proof-reading. You can cut and paste the changes you like from the Track Changes to your original as plain text (being careful not to paste over live…
