There's no such thing as just a "base directory". It's just the Linked Attachment Base Directory. You would want to set ZotFile to move attachments to the directory set as the Linked Attachment Base D

I'm interested in getting journal title (and other title) abbreviations to use with zotfile for renaming PDFs and found that I could leverage Zotero's `Cite.getAbbreviation` function.

OK, so you'll want to use ZotFile to move the files on Computer 1 into the Box folder as linked files rather than doing this manually (www.zotfile.com).

There's a relevant ZotFile ticket, yes https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/363

After activating this I could manually tell zotfile to rename the attachment. Which is something I can deal with. Is there a issue open for that on github? I would like to dig deeper into this issue.

Do you have automatically retrieve metadata for PDFs checked in the general tab of the preferences? If so, at least the item you linked to should automatically attach to metadata in Zotero after impor

Hi, I have observed a similar problem. When using the firefox addon directly on an opened pdf (i.e. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.03741.pdf) it creates an entry which cannot be renamed with zotfile. Howe

Is there any other way that it can be achieved via a third party plugin, zotfile or sth?

No, it's not -- the only reliable way for Zotero to auto-generate bibliographies is to use the word processor add-on. It won't and can't recognize the ZotFile citations at all and likely won't any tim

As stated in the title I wonder if it is possible to add a bibliography to a word document where I copy pasted all the (zotfile) extracted annotations from several references. Moreover I used zotero's

Up to you. If you're just getting started and can just wipe your Zotero data directory and reimport, then a Report ID would help us get this fixed along with the ZotFile developer. If your database is

Seems like the bug is still there. If I import from Mendeley while Zotfile is active, some files are correctly renamed and moved in the zotfile path, while some others are simply copied in the zotero

This discussion was created from comments split from: Zotfile - send to tablet.

@guoxc: That's a ZotFile feature, not a Zotero feature.

For linked files stored in Google Drive (e.g., using the ZotFile plugin), clearing local copies would be something you'd have to manage yourself, but Zotero wouldn't be able to trigger a download auto

from Tablet in the previous computer, configure ZotFile in the new machine, and sent the documents again. Now, I can sync in two computers. Thanks for the duplication of the collection's clue.
