  1. Recommended tools/workflows for attaching PDF from browser to existing item

    by tim820 · 2 days ago
    For linked attachment files, Zotmoov has the same feature that Zotfile did (and so does Attanger IIRC). It's under Advanced Options in its Settings ("Search Folder for Attaching New Files"). Once you'
  2. Recommended tools/workflows for attaching PDF from browser to existing item

    1) Zotfile's ability to attach the last item added to the Downloads folder and
  3. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by abracadabra01 · 10 days ago
    I installed Zotero 6 without Zotfile plugin, i.e. just unzip instance and tried to attach external zip-file to the record - result on the picture:
  4. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by tim820 · 10 days ago
    Although as you say Zotfile no longer works, if you used it in the past with your linked files, that would be why you were used to seeing the title and file name matching.
  5. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by abracadabra01 · 10 days ago
    I will check all your suggestions carefully but maybe I don't understand you - ZotFile is out-of-date long ago. Zotmoove - it is about move files but not renaming as a trigger when file is attached or
  6. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by tim820 · 11 days ago
    As your ZIP file is a linked attachment file, it's possible that the previous behaviour you are referring to - where the title matches the file name - was achieved via the Zotfile plugin ?
  7. Switching between stored and linked files to annotate pdfs on iPad

    by tim820 · November 17, 2025
    PDF reader on mobile devices. That was what Zotfile's old Send/Get From Tablet used to do, in the days before Zotero's internal PDF reader and the Zotero mobile apps. So the PDF is moved into linked
  8. Switching between stored and linked files to annotate pdfs on iPad

    by tim820 · November 15, 2025
    These operations are indeed a tad complex to understand and set up. Zotmoov (and Attanger) were originally written to provide continuity for former Zotfile users when that stopped working in Zotero v6
  9. Non-pdf linked files?

    by lerocknrolla · November 14, 2025
    I've just used Zotmoov to send all my new pdfs to my dropbox Zotero folder, as I used to do Zotfile; I hadn't yet noticed that Zotfile was no longer active, and noticed my hard drive was filling up.
  10. Zotero won't sync on one device

    by dani.buchheister · November 10, 2025
    appName => Zotero, version => 7.0.27 (x64), os => Windows 11 26100, locale => en-US, extensions => Notero (1.2.1, extension), ZotFile (5.1.2, extension, disabled)
  11. Zotero 7 file renaming customization — truncate title after colon

    by EINP · November 6, 2025
    @Ionja - Did you find a solution to this? I am also missing zotfile's clean file names, without hanging characters/partial words/etc.
  12. Watched folder” functionality to automatically import PDFs (like Mendeley used to do)

    by eteixidor · November 4, 2025
    I know Mendeley had this feature years ago, and ZotFile offered something similar in a semi-automated way, but as far as I understand, ZotFile is not compatible with Zotero 7.
  13. Attachment Preview Destroys Standalone PDF Workflow (Need Disable Option)

    by dstillman · October 25, 2025
    Embedded attachment notes were always an esoteric feature, used mostly by third-party plugins (e.g., ZotFile stored PDF outlines there), and they don't really reflect how Zotero is designed to be used
  14. Zotfile for Zotero7 ?

    by tim820 · October 17, 2025
    Zotmoov or Attanger replace Zotfile in v7.
  15. Zotfile for Zotero7 ?

    by clement0612 · October 17, 2025
    The actual zotfile is designed for zotero5 and not zotero 7, when will it be available ?
  16. Feature request: Remove accents/diacritics from filenames

    by tim820 · October 16, 2025
    My full string was intended to emulate the Zotfile default - {%a_}{%y_}{%t} - additionally with its diacritic removal option turned ON:
  17. Renaming files based on Zotero collection structure (Zotero 7 post-Zotfile)

    by tim820 · October 9, 2025
    %c in Zotfile set the *folder* name (in which it placed the linked PDF) to the same name as the collection to which the user saved it. It did not do that for the filename (unless that was a bug; becau
  18. Renaming files based on Zotero collection structure (Zotero 7 post-Zotfile)

    by mcv2 · October 9, 2025
    I think the description in the Zotfile docs is a little unclear! Let me paste in full description: "%c collection path (only for sub-folders, not file names). When item is in multiple collections, use
  19. Renaming files based on Zotero collection structure (Zotero 7 post-Zotfile)

    by tim820 · October 9, 2025
    Zotmoov and Attanger do support the folder naming feature from Zotfile.
  20. Renaming files based on Zotero collection structure (Zotero 7 post-Zotfile)

    by tim820 · October 9, 2025
    The plugins that replace Zotfile - Zotmoov and Attanger - now leave linked file renaming to Zotero's enhanced renaming scheme. However there are some things that Zotfile's scheme did that Zotero's doe
