human readable file hierarchies is where ZotFile comes in. Specifically, I will want to specify a directory for the field "linked attachment base directory" in Zotero and the same directory for the c

undeleted in the on line storage as well. My ZotFile is set to "Attach stored copy of file(s)".

If you prefer, you can add files as linked files pointing to your existing folder, but then they won't sync via Zotero. If you do want to use linked files, the third-party ZotFile extension can automa

I really like ZotFile - especially the iPad annotation feature. I only have one issue: how to handle annotation continuously.

I've noticed that the subfolder structure doesn't respect or take into consideration the settings in the Renaming Rules -> Additional Settings in zotfile.

That's not Zotero — that's ZotFile. Specifically, it's a problem in the underlying PDF library ZotFile uses. (You'll often see the same thing trying to copy text from a PDF using Firefox's built-in PD

You probably already know you can setup Zotfile so that when you save an item, Zotero will attach the PDF, and then Zotfile can pick from there, rename the PDF, and move it to whatever location you wa

What this refers to isn't really all that useful of a function -- you can attach the last item downloaded to a designated folder to a Zotero item that you specify. So think of a situation where you do

I'm figuring out Zotfile in Zotero standalone on a Mac computer.
