Thank you for your well-structured aid! I must admit that I didn't fully understand Zotero, Zotfile and Zotilo

I saw a few videos of the workflow involving pluglins like ZotFile.

Annotation extraction is performed by ZotFile, not Zotero, so we can't help with that, but we'd be curious to see the file if you email it to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread.

I would like an option for Zotfile to add "annotated_" to the beginning of the file name instead of at the end. That way when I have a fixed length for filenam I can easily see that I have 1 or more

i tested if this could depend on the fact that Zotfile is tuned onto Acrobat Reader, but everything was the same even if i opened the PDF with Acrobat Reader but the results were the same - the name w

question is, i feel, that this has to do more with (the author of) Zotfile than with Zotero itself.

I renamed the values assigned to extensions-zotfile.pdfExtraction.colorCategories but this did not change the generated text output.

It happens automatically when you import an item with PDF, e.g. when looking at the abstract. ZotFile can't do it automatically when you add a PDF directly and Zotero then adds the metadata afterwards

"Rename from parent metadata" is Zotero's function. You want "Manage attachments --> Rename attachment" to invoke ZotFile

My zotfile preference has the Custom Location set to $HOME/cloud-storage/zotero.

(Note that extraction annotations is a Zotfile, not a Zotero feature, but same answer)

I have started with Notability to export them, and I face the same problem. Text extraction through Zotfile does not work as @derickson writes.

Having got Windows going, I installed WORD and Zotero (and Zotfile). I was not able to sync with iCloud because iCloud for Windows does not apparently support the 'optimise storage' option and is unab

That's too esoteric for Zotero proper, but it could be done in ZotFile or another plugin.

When renaming an item in Zotero with the Zotfile add-on, the file is not only renamed but moved to the nominated folder for Linked Attachments. I use that folder for all my .pdf files, but I like to

I like the feature by which one can update the name of an attachment by a simple right click. Native Zotero and Zofile both do this, albeit in slightly different ways. Zotfile also (optionally) chan

takes several minutes to load files. I'm using Zotfile with the storage file located in my Google Drive, but I doubt this is the issue, because I have the identical setup on my very old (2012) Macboo

This is about the Linked Attachment Base Directory setting, not ZotFile.

These above paths are what I set for the Zotfile custom location on each computer, respectively. After sync-ing the new computer to my cloud Zotero database, the linked files are listed (including the

Is it possible to use Recipient (creator type in Letter item type) when renaming a PDF via ZotFile? I haven't been able to make it to work. Thanks.
