BUMP any news on this bug?
-
Report ID: 1826849175 When importing Mendeley library with Zotfile enabled some files are correctly moved to Zotfile folder while some other are copied to the metadata folder. The number of files stuck in the metadata folder is random. Now I have 4…

Ok then, I can wipe and reimport. I should have some spare time to do it today.
-
Ok, seems like the import bug is not fixed but the "move and rename" is instead good to go: - the import still does not move and rename all the files. Some will end up in the Zotfile folder correctly renamed and some will end up in the metadata fol…

Seems like the bug is still there. If I import from Mendeley while Zotfile is active, some files are correctly renamed and moved in the zotfile path, while some others are simply copied in the zotero metadata folder. I will try forcing a move and re…

nice to know. I think I will check it out since I would still have trouble moving files otherwise. Right now should work directly from the mendeley database import then?

Actually, I saved the advanced search with the [Attachment File Type] [is] [PDF] setting but when I select all with ctrl+A and I right click I do not have the option of "Rename File from Parent Metadata". On the other hand if I click on one PDF onl…

ok. I guess I'll give it a try then: 1) disable Zotfile 2) import from mendeley 3) set to import and attach files (no copy & store) 4) save an advanced search for PDF only 5) set up the Zotero renaming rule which I prefer and activate it 6) se…

yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Although I still have one doubt, is there a way to move all the linked PDF files after the import without losing the link? Because right now every PDF is in the old Mendeley folder and I'd like to change t…
-
ah, didn't think about the saved search trick to select all pdfs. I'll just dump Zotfile and go with the Zotero rename then. I would have chosen author title and year only anyway.
-
It doesn't. Or at least it didn't during my various attempts.
-
The bug is constantly there so I guess it should be fairly easy to reproduce it. Ok, I'll try to disable ZotFile and let Zotero attach them without copying. Just a couple of question on this: 1) What if I do it and then want to move files manual…
-
So, I tried a little more and no matter what I do. Overall I'm getting hundreds of duplicates. The import always splits the files and does not rename them all. Some of them remain inside the Zotero metadata folder and some of them are moved in the …

I'm not using cloud right now. All the folders are local with no syncs but I plan to setup manual or semi-automatic syncing on a GDrive account. Can I actually do what you suggest on all the entry in one time? Because I cannot afford to that one at…
