To be clear, this is about Zotero's renaming, not ZotFile's. Zotero's is currently much more basic, with just title, author, and year.

Ok, I'll try to disable ZotFile and let Zotero attach them without copying.

We can't really help with ZotFile, but I believe there's a bug that prevents it from moving multiple files at once — or perhaps that causes it to fail on some files, which interrupts the process when

The import always splits the files and does not rename them all. Some of them remain inside the Zotero metadata folder and some of them are moved in the Zotfile attachment folder.

The import is slow but everything goes smoothly. Now, since I don't want to sync all the PDFs (> 1.5gb for 1100 entries) with Zotero cloud, I've setup Zotfile to move files and create attachements.

You mean for Zotfile? That doesn't exist. I think you might be able to get it with a user-defined wildcard on creator, but I'm not sure.

I'd like to use the journal abbreviation when filing PDFs with zotfile, but I'm not sure what the rule is for when that field gets filled.

I`ve been using Zotero and Zotfile to sync the pdf-attachments of my Zotero files on my OneDrive folder - everything worked out quite well!! (Thanks to the team for the great work, the helpfull plugin

My colleague has Zotero and Zotfile on a Windows PC, while I use Mac. On my machine, Zotfile renames and moves files to a custom location, but on my colleague's machine it is only renaming and NOT mov

I hope it is okay to ask for help with Zotfile on this forum.

I'm not really sure what you're asking for. ZotFile is a third-party plugin that can extract the annotations you've added to PDF. MLA style is a format that you'd select when generating citations and

How do I achieve this? Step by step please. I am not a techie.

It's not about the file naming scheme — it's that those are stored files within the Zotero data directory, and ZotFile creates linked files outside of the data directory. Zotero doesn't sync linked fi

I notice, too, that when Zotfile moves an attachment to the OneDrive folder, it leaves the subfolder in the Zotero storage directory that previously held the attachment. This subfolder contains two fi

Yes, that's right. Zotero 5.0.74 on Windows 10 1903. Where can I find the Zotfile version?

That sounds like a Zotfile bug rather than a problem with your set-up then.

Yes, it does, and thanks for your help. Also, after a good night's sleep Zotero/Zotfile have started to put attachments in the OneDrive folder when they're dragged from e.g. the desktop to a reference
