@dstillman: Yes, by "use stored files" I meant: use ZotFile's option "Attach stored copy of file(s)" for "Location of Files". With this, ZotFile can be used for renaming stored files, without moving t

File is stored in original Zotero storage folder, not in the folder indicated both in ZotFile preferences and in "Linked attachment base directory".

Act 1 is where you're going wrong. Open the abstract or HTML view of the article and save from there. This will attache the PDF and ZotFile will automatically move it.

folder with all files. I've learned that with ZotFile I could do this.

3. Zotfile is needed to rename & relocate the linked attachments via a subfolder scheme defined by :%c: (This could be done/ changed temporarily just as well for this purpose).

First thing I'd try is to go with a more standard renaming option (e.g. Zotero or ZotFile's default) and see if that works (just test with 1-2 items).

I have installed zotfile, and set it up to rename my pdfs and use a custom location. This includes:

Doesn't ZotFile support just renaming for stored files, though?

@Milleras: If you're using ZotFile's "Custom Location" option, the custom folder should not be left empty. It sounds like this might be causing your issue.

4. Are all your linked files saved to Zotfile's "Custom Location" without subfolders? (Did you leave "Use subfolder defined by" unchecked?)

This generally can't provide support for ZotFile, but if you can provide a Debug ID for the actual renaming (not just opening), we might be able to say more.

I've installed ZotFile, which does exactly what I want for renaming and filing, but then the Zotero stops saving to the cloud.

When I rename an attachment pdf file without move it (with the ZotFile plugin), I can't anymore open or click on it. In the log view, I get an error in a zotero file (although the error append in usin

(But the alternative, of course, would be to just delete the PDF after you import it and let Zotero manage its copy — including syncing, renaming, deleting when you delete the item, etc. And while you

And those are ZotFile features, not Zotero features. If you say more about what's happening and provide a Report ID, it's possible we can give you some advice, but in general we can't provide support

is there any way to disable the quotation marks

First off, this is a great tool; thank you to Joscha and any others who have worked on developing it. I just had one question about the Extract Annotations feature: is there any way to disable the quo

In Firefox, you need to right-click and save the XPI to disk (as noted in the tooltip when you hover over the ZotFile download link), and then drag it to the Zotero Add-ons window.
