It sounds like you already have Zotfile set up correctly, since you already have some linked files. And you have decided that a linked PDF file workflow will work for you (note the caveats): https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files If not ful…

If selecting Tools\Add-ons does not open that dialog as usual, it seems that is usually due to a Zotero process that has remained running after Zotero was last closed (I've never figured out any pattern as to why that happens sometimes; fortunately …

Usually associated with bug in two dark theme add-ons ... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/102705/the-difference-between-info-tags-etc-and-the-opened-pdf

I expect that the ability to deal with the reference list data increasingly available from metadata services will come at some point. It's just not clear exactly how. While also not exactly what @mark.diamond wants, the Cita add-on (still under dev…

It looks like you currently have everything set correctly for Zotfile to *save* PDFs to the Custom Location in Dropbox. You also have the LABD where Zotero then *looks* for them set correctly. So I assume that all works correctly for anything saved …

I used Attach New File earlier today, so it's definitely still working for me in Windows 10/11 (Zotfile 5.1.2). So I can only suggest re-checking each setting: 1. Under Tools\Zotfile Preferences\General Settings, that you have the exact folder name …

@will_hurt the duplicate renaming problem you describe is perhaps limited to only some renaming formats. I have my Zotfile renaming rule set to the default {%a_}{%y_}{%t} (under Tools\Zotfile Preferences\Renaming Rules). And the problem does not occ…

I had been using Zotfile for a while before I realized how Attach New File actually worked. The Attach New File operation is for attaching a PDF you have just saved (into a specified folder) to an existing, selected item in your library. In Tools\Z…

Disable them all, to see if the problem goes away. If so, then re-renable them one by one to see if one is the culprit.

Do you have the Night for Zotero plugin enabled ? That behaviour is one of its known bugs ... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/101834/info-panel-right-side-does-not-correspond-to-opened-item

The most recent Zotfile update was late last year (Oct 9, 2022). But that was for bug fixes not new features. And the Zotfile documentation still refers to some old features (extraction of PDF annotations to Zotero notes) that are no longer part of …

Yes, that attachment-filetype-specific behaviour can be modified in Zotfile Preferences. Zotfile's *default* behaviour when installed is to do the opposite to what you want, only move PDF attachment files (and several other attachment file types) to…

The delitem addon (right click) will delete the selected linked PDF attachment file from your Zotfile linked folder location (since Zotero doesn't do that). https://github.com/redleafnew/delitemwithatt

The Cita add-on for Zotero is also heading in that direction, but not quite there yet, for the difficult reasons mentioned above (style variation). But it can be made to import references from a compliant PDF now for some reference list styles with …

Not a full solution to your problem either, but you can get the information on the collections for all selected items using this code within Zotero: https://gist.github.com/KalebNyquist/2ca3ac322751578b6d791cd90b4df15b That code could be altered to…

Works fine for me. Zotero 6.0.19, Night 0.4.20. Windows 11. Do you get the 'sun' icon in the top right next to Zotero's green sync icon ? If so, does that switch to dark mode when you click on it ? IME the settings under Tools\Night Preferences have…

Apologies for extrapolating to other use cases ! I got suddenly enthused when reminded of the utility of the unique (exposed) number assigned by Endnote to each item (and it's very hard for me to get enthused about anything to do with Endnote, which…
-
I think we're talking about the same thing in Endnote - the assigned record number that you can type directly into an unformatted citation if you want to cite in that very quick way, like #345 in my example above. Maybe I just used that number in ex…

This is probably the only feature from Endnote I *really* miss (Endnote as a whole I hate). When writing, I would have Endnote open in one window (often on a second monitor), and Word in another window. When citing, I would just scroll to the refere…

Do you have Zotfile set up to automatically save PDF attachments downloaded by the Zotero Connector to a location that is not local Zotero storage ? That is, is there a Custom Location entered under Tools\ZotFile Preferences\Location of Files ? The…

I have been seeing the same problem for a while too, but put off trouble-shooting it until now. Today I found by disabling all add-ons, and then adding them back in one by one, that I could trigger it reliably with the otherwise-great Night for Zote…

That's good to hear. I too would find the ability to store/load/re-use javascript very useful (not necessarily as keyboard shortcuts though), for the code snippets I use to get things like lists of item counts by author and journal. I use those rout…

The problem seems to be that you have 5 authors in a field designed for one. Did you enter them manually that way, or did an article's metadata automatically come out that way ? In any case, copy and paste each author into their own single author fi…
