ZotFile wouldn't move snapshots, so they'd be in the Zotero storage folder in the data directory. You should be able to just copy that over from the old back-up/computer if you have it.

I do have one additional question. Snapshots seem to save only to the data directory, so if I added an item on computer A, the snapshot opens fine, but on computer B, it has the empty dot showing the

And, yes, the Dropbox/OneDrive are where my attachments are stored. Between ZotFile and Zutilo I was able to sort that out.

my data directory locally but my files (using ZotFile preferences) on my work OneDrive. Good so far.

@laurela: This is a feature of the ZotFile plugin.

Can you provide a Report ID? Something's wrong if you're getting that message for ZotFile 5.0.16.

I saved the .xpi on my laptop disk. Then went in Zotero Add-ons manager > Install add-on from file. I selected the saved zotfile-5.0.16-fx.xpi and got the following message "L'extension "%S" n'a pas p

The zotfile add-ons 5.0.16 seems incompatible with the current version of Zotero (I have Zotero 5.0.92). Am I missing something?

If you want to use journal abbreviations in ZotFile's file renaming function, you need to look into using its user-defined wildcards. You can find some related discussions here and here.

See the ZotFile plugin for more advanced renaming rules.

Zotfile extracts any annotations stored in the PDF standard format. If annotations from STDU Viewer Aren’t being extracted, it probably stores them in a nonstandard way (e.g., Skim does similar)

STDU Viewer is by far my favorite pdf reader. Is there a way for me to fix it?

I need a way to copy the names of PDF file attachments. I've looked through menus and Zotfile and Zutilo preferences but can't seem to find a command that would let me do that. Even clicking on an att

It would be very helpful (and save a lot of time) if Zotfile could split the extracted annotations into separate notes on finding a specific string in a note.

Thank you for these links, very useful! I made the silly mistake of not adjusting any of the ZotFile preferences for folder my locations... I had forgotten all the stuff I had set up years ago!

It might be useful to check your ZotFile preferences in the Config Editor by entering extensions.zotfile.* in the search bar. For troubleshooting related ZotFile issues, see also here.

I recently set up Zotero (5.0.91) on my new MacBook and I am now having difficulty using Zotfile (5.0.16): when I add an article via the Zotero Chrome extension, on my new Macbook the file gets saved

If you want to use OneDrive for your files, you would need to use linked files rather than stored files. The ZotFile plugin can help with a linked-file workflow. You won't be able to access the files

The feature request would most simply be to remove the period after "et al" like zotfile does by default, people can add it themselves in advanced config.

Second that - Zotfile is what you are looking for. Zotfile allows you to use most external PDF editors.
