  1. Cannot see file-renaming button in item pane

    by tim820 · March 4, 2026
    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
  2. Better Notes: Annotations exported without page numbers — how to fix template?

    by yulia225 · February 28, 2026
    * Zotfile is not an option for me, since it only supports Zotero up to version 5.
  3. Zotero 8 auto-renaming for linked files

    by tim820 · February 26, 2026
    Since I sometimes rename attachment files manually (eg when an item has multiple attachment files and needs manually-added filename information to distinguish them), and I also prefer Zotmoov's settin

    @adamsmith, thank you so much for sharing this. Yes, I think I used ZotFile before for streamlining my process to create linked files and to store them to a single location on a cloud drive. I tried t

  7. Automatic file renaming and supplementary files

    by tim820 · January 31, 2026
    Zotfile had its own file renaming scheme (including the duplicate filename number appending), prior to Zotero enhancing its own renaming scheme in v7. But Zotfile was not updated to make it compatible
  8. Automatic file renaming and supplementary files

    by adamsmith · January 30, 2026
    dstillman describes current Zotero 8 behavior, yes. The -1 behavior is ZotMoov adopted from ZotFile as tim820 says.
  9. Unable to install ZotIn / Zotfile plugin after updating to Zotero 8.0.1 (incompatibility error)

    by poettli · January 30, 2026
    Zotfile is not actively maintained (https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/674#issuecomment-3365587662). You'll need to go with alternatives:

  11. Automatic file renaming and supplementary files

    by tim820 · January 30, 2026
    When you add or rename a linked file, Zotmoov does what Zotfile did - apply your chosen renaming scheme to the file (and its title, which Zotmoov sets to match the filename). But then where two files

    by adamsmith · January 29, 2026
    It's a little hard to understand, but it sounds like you used ZotFile before. That's no longer available but there are a couple of replacement options, ZotMoov is probably the most widely used one.

  14. force attachment rename

    by tim820 · January 28, 2026
    Since you are using linked files, note that Zotmoov still renames linked PDFs in the same way it always has, using Zotero's renaming scheme (as Zotfile did prior to that, using its own renaming scheme

    by tim820 · January 19, 2026

    by tim820 · January 10, 2026
    Just a note for those previous Zotfile/linked file users used to the attachment title always matching the file name: the plugins that replace Zotfile in version 7 - Zotmoov or Attanger - replicate Zot

    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'
