I have ZotFile installed, however it does not do the above. I receive manuscripts from students or other pdfs that I need to manage that I wish to put into zotero so that I can easily search for them

It's also possible to use linked files, generally with the help of the ZotFile extension. But ZotFile will convert the default stored files into linked files in a location of your choosing — it doesn'

@dstillman Will the planned Ipad app support external folders configuration for storing files (like zotfile + dropbox on PC)?

Try my modified version of Zotfile: zotfile-5.0.16_APA.zip

To manage expectations, neither Papership not Zotfile, which givse you the annotation extraction menu, are by Zotero proper, so this wouldn't be something that Zotero devs can fix.

That's modifying how the notes (that you write) gets styled on extraction, not how highlighted text gets styled. The relevant property for highlighted text is extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.formatAn

I tried modifying extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.formatAnnotationNote from the default of %(content) (note on p.%(page))

Zotfile has the capability to extract annotations to a note which I love. However, I wonder whether there is any way to change the standard name of this note? Id like to auto-generate a name like Note

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.

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.
