I defer to @dstillman on the wisdom of messing with anything in your Zotero\storage folder. There are several ways to get a simple list of what attachments Zotero DOES know about (that is, are in its database). The Zutilo add-on can copy a list to…

The Cita add-on from @diegodlh goes some of the way to doing this. https://github.com/diegodlh/zotero-cita But it hasn't quite got there yet. It does create a Citations tab in Zotero's right pane, which can be populated with a paper's citations/re…

The usual way is just to select all the items for which you wish to move their PDFs and then use the popup menu's (Zotfile) Manage Attachments - Rename and Move option. If there's a large number of those mixed in with ones that are already in the Cu…
-
That's still doesn't sound quite right, if I understand you correctly. Zotfile should MOVE the PDF file AUTOMATICALLY from default zotero\storage to your cloud folder (Zotfile Custom Location) as the last operation in the Connector sequence, not jus…
-
For the PDFs that have not been moved to the cloud, on that same popup menu as Show File is Zotfile's Manage Attachments option. The Rename and Move option is under its sub-menu. That option should move a PDF from the default storage location to you…

OK if you haven't actually verified that the Connector is able to download a PDF to ANY location you need to do that first. With a completely new item/web page. When you use the Connector to get an item/PDF, you should first see the popup showing th…

If you have an item with a PDF attachment that the Zotero Connector has placed in the standard Zotero\storage\ location (ie NOT moved/linked), does selecting Manage Attachments\Rename and Move cause Zotfile to move the file to your cloud location as…
-
Under Tools\Zotfile Preferences, on the General Settings tab, do you have Custom Location (under Location of Files) set to the cloud folder location where you want Zotfile to move each new PDF downloaded by the browser Connector ?
-
My understanding is that you do not need to enter anything for Linked Attachment Base Directory (under Zotero Preferences\Advanced\Files and Folders) just because you're using Zotfile to control your attachment file location. My Zotfile-driven setu…

This add-on adds right click PDF opening in external PDF viewer. https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf
-
Ah OK ... that does make sense. One just has to remember which PDF tab you were looking at then. Which reminds me of the common feature request for a 'history' feature that would show your previous navigation path through different collections/items…
-
Thanks for the link. To save someone else trying all those generic tab key options, it seems that this is what works (at least in Windows), if I've got it right: Ctrl-2 switches from the main pane (or any PDF tab) to the first PDF tab in the PDF re…
-
Decided to further address this with some javascript, adding a count of how often each tag has been used. Run under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript: var rows = await Zotero.DB.queryAsync("SELECT name AS tagname, COUNT(*) AS num FROM tags JOIN itemTa…

If one starts with an entry for the whole book, and its PDF file, an easy way to split off chapter PDFs from the main PDF would also be very nice. Take for example the above-mentioned conference proceedings - extracting entries/PDFs for more than a …
-
I also vote for relating chapters automatically, but only to, the parent book. More than that becomes messy and will not often add useful functionality. You could always navigate to the parent relation of a chapter to inspect all the chapters that a…

Some code for that here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/412566/#Comment_412566

The original tweet seems to have disappeared, but to be clear, Lean Library and Zotero already work perfectly well together. It's my main means of getting access to PDFs, which can then go into Zotero. The Lean browser plugin is simply a way for a u…

If Find Available PDFs doesn't work well enough even when fully connected to your university ... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/74696/find-available-pdfs-doesnt-find-some-available-pdfs .. and since you already have item details entered in Zot…

The dropdown menu next to the arrow above the right pane has an option named 'Library Lookup'. That will check your university library for access to the selected item if you have Zotero set up to do so. Under Edit\Preferences\Advanced\General there …

Text selection problem appears fixed in the latest release.
-
Like I said, double-click in 6.0.10 allowed me to avoid the problem (rather than fix it). But in case it helps anyone else, I decided to try disabling add-ons, and the first one I tried proved to be the culprit - zotero night. When disabled, the cur…

Click and drag fixes (or rather avoids) the picky text selection 'problem' that I had, with ALL PDFs. So I don't really have a problem anymore. I hadn't made a bug (?) thread because maybe it's just my setup - I use a Logitech trackball so who knows…
-
Click and drag in 6.0.10 has made text selection/highlighting vastly easier. I had found placing the cursor at the start and end of text sections to be really picky in the PDF reader; one had to learn the precise skill of placing it 'just right' (lo…

@AbeJellinek thanks for catching that. Is that way that fieldID works documented anywhere ?
-
I needed some code to get an alphabetical list of all journals in my library, to run WITHIN Zotero under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript. It draws from some other code snippets floating around here, with some additions/modifications. It includes a co…
-
@hsiangyu_wong Aah, so that's what that setting means. ;) But that setting is not really necessary. You can just go with the way Zotero handles all the other tabs. eg if you select the Tags tab on one item, that becomes the default display tag for …
-
Thanks @hsiangyu_wong . I set my pages to view to 1. There now appears to be a bug whereby clicking a (parent) item goes straight to the the Preview PDF tab, instead of to the tab that was previously selected (usually the Info tab). Upon clicking o…
-
Maybe add a preference to set the number of pages in the Preview ? One page might be enough for most people (and might also reduce memory use ?). Or just have it default to (single) Page View, so you only load/scroll to later pages if you really wan…
-
Thanks @hsiangyu_wong . That's a really useful add-on. I have recently been cleaning up author formatting problems (separating full names where they were under lastname, removing trailing comma added by Zotero when using Swap First/Last names, separ…

You can do this easily in Windows without any new software (and I assume the Mac OS has similar capability). Just go your Zotero\Storage folder in File Explorer, and search (top right field) for *.pdf files (assuming they are your largest attachment…
