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.

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

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

dstillman describes current Zotero 8 behavior, yes. The -1 behavior is ZotMoov adopted from ZotFile as tim820 says.

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

After updating to Zotero 8.0.1 (64-bit), I am no longer able to install the ZotIn / Zotfile plugin.

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

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.
