The bottom line is that the absence of Zotfile's functionality being available in Zotero 7 would prevent thousands of Zotero users from migrating to Zotero 7. They rely on that functionality for multiple important reasons, like needing to easily acc…

Yes, just turn off file syncing ... https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/sync

Not sure about LABD, but this function works in Tools\Developer\Run Javascript ... Zotero.DataDirectory.dir

Another option for avoiding slow processing with some word processors/platforms/big documents is using unformatted citations as you write. That is, plain text citations like {Smith, 2014}, which you type in directly (or via Quick Copy). You only for…
-
Oh OK, I was pretty sure that there was a way to get to active Zotero citations ... so that must be with the ODF-Scan plugin mentioned at the end of the RTF Scan page. Which would require LibreOffice for that final stage of the process. Parenthetic…

Since no one else has come up with any (easier?) approaches yet, the following *should* work. Work on a copy of your Endnote-formatted document (preserve the original). First click the menu option to convert your copy document's Endnote citations t…

@ZoeCMA the UI is OK, at least as far as English is concerned. ie it all appears to me in English within Zotero. And reading the github pages works well for me via Chrome's right click Translate of full pages. But some of the UI screenshots there ap…

Yes, I should have said that unfortunately Ctrl just doesn't work well enough to show what collections items are in (and does not do all of what a Collections tab would). For example where an item is in multiple collections with some outside the dis…
-
I agree. I too have often moved on to work in other collections when I come back to read a PDF loaded earlier. So the collection from which I originally loaded it from may be long forgotten. The right click 'Show in Library' doesn't help - it's real…

You can at least identify instances of the same author formatted differently (and other name formatting problems) from an alphabetical list of all authors in your library (but fixing them is up to you). To get that list, run the following code under…
-
You would do a search in your OS (ie outside Zotero) for PDFs under the zotero\storage hierarchy, and then sort by size. If you want to keep some access to the bigger files from within Zotero, you could copy those files to another folder on your co…

Perhaps if we kick things off with this question - have *any* plugins been updated for Zotero 7 yet ?
-
If you want the full path of a PDF attachment as text, the Zutilo addon can give you that. https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo Edit: if you just want to go to the PDF in its folder, Show File (intrinsic Zotero function) will take you there ... as oth…
-
The simplest approach would be just to tag reviews (since there are fewer of them than primary research papers). If you want to delineate further you might use different tags for systematic and narrative reviews. If you assign a colour to the tag(s)…

Release XPIs are on the Releases page. ;) https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style/releases BTW Chrome's right click Translate to English (or your preferred language) works well if you need it. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424
-
@MarionSterescu if you want to know how much your *local* file storage amounts to, you can do the following: 1. Go to Edit\Preferences\Advanced\Files and Folders 2. Click on Show Data Directory 3. You will see a 'storage' folder there. In Windows, …
-
An option to make the content of 'post-it' style notes always visible on the PDF would indeed be very useful.
-
Zotfile has a special setting for diacritics - Tools\Zotfile Preferences\Advanced Settings - Remove Special Characters (diacritics) From Filename. Is that what you tried ? I have that setting set to ON and diacritic removal works for me (some chara…
-
As a general principle, you should always fully document your Zotfile setup though. While it's unlikely that anything will change in this scenario, there are other scenarios where you might not have access to your old setup (eg disk crash). It will …

If you want a structured systematic approach, ZotLog has some useful concepts. https://tribuneci.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/zotlog-structurer-son-parcours-de-recherche-avec-zotero/ (easily translated with Chrome's or other browsers' translators) https…

The Zutilo addon copies the text link to the clipboard as a right-click option - Copy attachment paths https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo Making a clickable hyperlink from that is a function that the software you paste the link into would have to pr…

Given the substantial number of Zotfile users, I would assume that any changes required in Zotfile for Zotero 7 will be managed between the Zotero team and the Zotfile developer, as I believe happened with the transition from Zotero 5 to Zotero 6. …
-
In the meantime there are some options. If you have Added Item Note from Annotations while in the PDF Viewer, or right-clicked Add Note from Annotations in the main view, that child note containing the annotations is then visible under the item in t…
-
If you want to sync Zotero 'data' across devices (item details, annotations, etc - everything in your sqlite database), then that is usually only done via Zotero's online storage. It should never be done via a cloud folder location (data corruption …

Re the question about providing introductions for students to read, you can do this with a standalone note, eg ***** 'READ THIS FIRST' at the top of the collection (maybe tagged with a long string of bright emojis !). There are limitations to this …

Collaborating across different academic software workflows can be messy. As can needing to access/organize/distribute PDFs external to stock Zotero. At some point it may make more sense for you to set Zotero to just use an external PDF viewer, so t…
