“the way Zotfile did it for years” doesn’t make sense when there’s now a setting to show the filename in the items list instead. Again, it’s just throwing out potentially useful data that, with the se

I realize Zotero can now display filenames in place of titles in the main library view. I personally prefer the way Zotfile did it for years (explicitly making the two the same), which Zotmoov continu

Do note that the custom menu example shown in the Zotmoov docs is for a different process - the one that Zotfile supported (Zotmoov's predecessor). That allowed people to access 'stored' PDFs on mobil

If you use the Zotmoov plugin to handle linked files, it will set the displayed title to match the file name by default when adding new linked files (the same behaviour used by the now-defunct Zotfile

Although it's weird that you'd get "paper.pdf" as a filename -- Zotero should rename files properly, this has never been limited to ZotFile (and has been much improved in recent Zotero versions).

Previously, I used ZotFile. The repository location was on a Google Drive folder. Files were renamed nicely, which meant I could easily access them using a desktop fuzzy finder or file search, in addi

If you do want to keep using your ZotFile/linked Files workflow, there are alternative plugins (ZotMoov, Attanger) that replace ZotFile's move&link files functionality -- but in that case you'll want

i recently switched from Zotero 6 to Zotero 9. In Z6 i was using Zotfile to sync my files to an external storage.

I didn't recall Zotfile being able to add the latest-dated PDF in a designated folder as a 'stored' file (under Zotero\storage). But the Zotfile docs (below) do seem to suggest that it could. Perhaps

ZotFile had a feature that, when I right-click on an element, there was an option to add to that element the most recent file created in a given folder.

Note also that Zotmoov can automate saving linked files to subfolders in your OS based on various criteria if you wish (as its predecessor Zotfile did); for example a folder named the same as the coll

I am not 100% sure of the sequence of operations you are describing, but Zotmoov is not involved in *all* of Zotero's mechanisms for adding PDFs. IIRC it is only involved in downloads via the Zotero w

(in that case using the older Zotfile, the predecessor of Zotmoov)

Many years ago I used ZotFile (or a similar setup) so attachments were linked files with paths like attachments:SomeFile.pdf. After a mishap, the PDFs were no longer where Zotero expected them, but I

Some plugins that work with file types, like Zotmoov (which manages linked attachment files), have a extensions list in their Settings that users can add to (as Zotfile did previously). That would pro

* Zotfile is not an option for me, since it only supports Zotero up to version 5.
