This has traditionally been done via the Zotfile add-on. https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile It had an update earlier this month so support may be more active again. However the documentation is a bit out of date, eg still refers to annotation ext…

Not sure if I'm understanding exactly what you're asking, but the list on its own may only be a useful starting point for solving file placement problems. It does at least show you the 'size' of your problem. Once the list tells you which local PDF…

You can use a tag that you set up with a star emoji .... https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/413708

Interesting. My Lean Library setup with Zotero doesn't use any of that setup under the Lean Chrome extension's advanced settings mentioned on that page. I just had to choose my university library in the Lean browser extension's quick settings the fi…

I very often find that I need to do a web search for a paper which I have as an item but not PDF in Zotero, or search for a reference in a PDF paper's reference list. Find Available PDF does not search a sufficiently wide range of sources for me. I …

Use Zotfile's right click, Manage Attachments->Rename and Move.

Use the Delitem add-on to delete linked attachments (with or without their associated item), via right click menu. https://github.com/redleafnew/delitemwithatt

Adding to my manual method above for finding locally stored PDFs (that I have omitted to have Zotfile move to my linked storage folder), I now use the code below run in Tools\Developer\Run Javascript. It returns a list of all PDF files that are (sti…

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…

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…

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…
