  1. Mendeley import stopped with error

    by dstillman · May 14, 2021
    This was likely caused by the ZotFile plugin.
  2. How to extract annotations along with the table of contents?

    by dstillman · May 14, 2021
    Note that ToC (bookmark) extraction is a ZotFile feature, not a Zotero feature.
  3. Can I save my PDFs to a single folder?

    by adamsmith · May 13, 2021
    ZotFile should do this automatically in many scenarios (esp. when importing metadata with attached PDF from the web) but it doesn't automatically move/rename files when they were added as PDFs and Zot

  5. Can I save my PDFs to a single folder?

    by adamsmith · May 13, 2021
    Then, the ZotFile preferences are what's relevant here. The Zotero files and folders preferences do not actually contradict them: One of them is for the data directory, which doesn't just include stor
  6. Can I save my PDFs to a single folder?

    by augustaugust · May 13, 2021
    This is a hard to decide question for a users. Have no human readable file format for PDFs or no access via iOS. One alternative could be to use Zotfile to store PDFs to defined folder and then use an
  7. Zotfile: Multiple Custom Locations for Different Collections

    by wwinnie33 · May 12, 2021
    I am new to zotero and want to use it to database a large collection of PDFs in the usual way, but also, an even larger collection of JPG files. Would like these JPG files to be moved to a specific dr
  8. Add a pdf directly

    by rutyggi · May 12, 2021
    When I download a PDF from the web, my workflow to import it into Zotero is as follows, which is a mix of raw Zotero and ZotFile:
  9. [Juris-M] Zotfile page numbers don't work with Legal Case items

    by kavana · May 10, 2021
    much of all the functionality I get out of using zotfile to deal with my pdf annotations :)
  10. [Juris-M] Zotfile page numbers don't work with Legal Case items

    by qqbb · May 10, 2021
    This is a ZotFile issue. I created a pull request with a fix:
  11. [Juris-M] Zotfile page numbers don't work with Legal Case items

    by kavana · May 10, 2021
    Zotfile's ability to use the number in the "pages" field as the first page number for the citation in annotations extracted doesn't seem to work with Item type "Case". If I convert this into a journal
  12. Rename parent item from attachment name

    by seeingtheforest · May 8, 2021
    3. Change Zotfile's advanced setting "extensions.zotfile.disable_renaming" to "true" so that it doesn't rename files when it moves them.
  13. Rename parent item from attachment name

    by seeingtheforest · May 8, 2021
    Sorry, I wasn't clear. I added a lot of attachments, then created parent items, then retrieved metadata. Some parent item metadata titles are useless, so I'd like to set the title to the linked filena
  14. Rename parent item from attachment name

    by adamsmith · May 8, 2021
    You can't use Zotfile on items not attached to any metadata.
  15. Rename parent item from attachment name

    by seeingtheforest · May 8, 2021
    I have many attachments whose metadata retrieval failed, so I'm left with many parent items with useless names. I'd like to rename them as the filenames. I am trying to use Zotfile to do this, as you
  16. Renaming parent item with full file name

    by seeingtheforest · May 8, 2021
    I have a related problem - I actually want Zotero to retrieve the metadata and change parent item name for 15000+ PDFs. It had success with many, but there's a large amount of items with nonsensical o
  17. How to set up a access over syncing connection?

    by dstillman · May 7, 2021
    I prefer the way how ZotFile does this job, thus using wildcards over numbers: /Type/Publisher/Year/[Author] - [Title] instead of ~/Zotero/Storage/[Number]/[File]. Quit handy, when adding a file to an
  18. How to set up a access over syncing connection?

    by 86ul · May 6, 2021
    As the ZotFile seem to be a old and cold project (https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/522), and knowing that Zotero will intergate some of its pdf features, I am wondering for an alternative. I
