Is there a process that Zotero can implement for users to determine plugin compatibility with major releases in a more systematic way ? So users can easily know before upgrading if any of their plugins will not work. A more frequent release cycle w…

According to v1.2.22 last August ... yes. https://github.com/wileyyugioh/zotmoov/releases

Some things are not clear about "Now all my files go unlinked". It's not clear how that happened (just reinstalling Zotero would not do that). But firstly, can we assume ... - you retained your Zotero database when you re-installed Zotero - that is…

If you are using Zotmoov to manage your linked files, you can use use its right-click operation that moves a selected file to your linked files folder - Move Selected to Directory - which also invokes your specified Zotero renaming scheme to rename …

As I mentioned, the fact that you are using linked and stored files does not change what is Zotero's inherently seamless access to annotations etc between desktop and mobile apps. To do *both* transfers - from linked to stored and back - you can us…

Zotmoov can help with the temporary move of some linked files back into local Zotero storage (under Zotero\storage). Such that with file syncing turned ON, those files should be synced to Zotero servers and thence to the Zotero mobile app. And then …

So all my existing Video Recordings still show Director (the default field name prior to 7.0.31, which persists ... and leaves me with the blank Creator column in the item pane). I do see now that in those existing items I can click on Director and …

So it seems that *existing* Video Recordings did not get that new Creator field added in 7.0.31 - only newly created items get a Creator now (and no longer have a Director field). Existing items still have a Director (only). In any case, that's why …

Regarding workarounds to do this, if you can access a cloud folder on your computer and on your device, the Zotmoov plugin (on your computer) can automate the temporary move of selected PDFs to the cloud folder, as "linked" PDFs. So those PDFs can b…

It would be great if that column mapping of Director to Creator could be restored. Otherwise it's just a blank Creator column for Video Recordings (and there is no Director column ... which I wouldn't want to add just for Video Recordings anyway). …

The Attachments Scanner plugin can add a size column (albeit slow) ... https://github.com/SciImage/zotero-attachment-scanner?tab=readme-ov-file#add-columns An alternative to deleting big or less important attachments is to convert them to linked fi…

Zutilo can add bulk relations, which may help your workflow: select all the items you wish to relate, and then right-click Zutilo - Relate selected items. Every item is related to every other item.

Another way to add a snapshot to an existing item is to use the Singlefile browser extension (available for most browsers) - that's the same code that Zotero uses to save snapshots. It will prompt you to save the web page to a file, which you can th…

Just a note for those previous Zotfile/linked file users used to the attachment title always matching the file name: the plugins that replace Zotfile in version 7 - Zotmoov or Attanger - replicate Zotfile's behaviour of setting the title to be *the …

A successful Zotero sync operation (no errors shown under the top right icon), with file syncing turned ON, should ensure that all attachments are uploaded. You would need to be under your online file storage quota. You can set the columns displaye…

This plugin adds an attachment count column to the main window, which you can then sort by, to find items with more than one attachment. https://github.com/SciImage/zotero-attachment-scanner?tab=readme-ov-file#plugin-functions-and-features

Once you have your tagged annotations displayed in the left pane, and your note is opened in the right pane, you can then right-click on any of the selected *annotations* (not tags) in the left pane (you can select just one or more than one annotati…

In an open PDF, annotation tags appear at the bottom of the left sidebar. Clicking on one will then show only that tag's annotations in the side bar, so you can easily navigate to them. If you want to add them to a note, first create a note, then se…

Re #2, two things are relevant: A. Do you have file syncing turned ON ? Unless you deliberately want a hybrid storage scheme (uncommon), where some attachments file are "linked" and some are "stored", a linked-files setup should have file syncing t…

Zotmoov is unlikely to be involved as this is an annotation (data) issue not a file issue. You presumably have Zotero *data* syncing turned on, otherwise annotations added in the Zotero reader would not appear on other computers at all. So this is…

If you really need it you could do it somewhat tediously with MS Word's Compare, and maybe automate it with a macro. If you paste the current bibliography as text-only (without Zotero field codes) into its own document prior to updating the main d…

For linked attachment files, Zotmoov has the same feature that Zotfile did (and so does Attanger IIRC). It's under Advanced Options in its Settings ("Search Folder for Attaching New Files"). Once you've saved the file to the folder you designated th…

The first time I scanned your post I thought you had ended up with one stored copy and one linked copy of each PDF attachment. But reading it again that doesn't seem to be what you are saying. So to confirm exactly what you have now ... "Now I have…
