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.

Not currently. If you want expanded control over rename rules beyond %a, %y, and %t, you need to use Zotfile.

Does Zotero's "expanded auto-renaming" provides a way to rename using a patern similar to ZotFile's %F?

ZotFile (www.zotfile.com) can extract annotations , though not track them in a literal sense.

I am not 100% sure what you mean by track, but Zotfile can extract PDF highlights (and I presume notes too, though not sure) and put them in Zotero as notes with a link to the original.

I have installed Zotero and Zotfile, and had it working great for a couple of months. Now my colleague wanted to put it on her computer as well. We have the same computer (PC) running the same version

Hi -- is there a way to either save a PDF of a website via the Zotero Connectors or convert the snapshot that is taken into a format that can be annotated and then used with zotfile for extraction?

I am unable to move the attachments of papers I have collected in 'group libraries' to a folder on my system using zotfile. Can someone help me out?

Easiest If you use the Zotfile plugin. Attach the PDF to the Dictionary Entry item, then highlight the text you want to link to in the PDF. Then use Zotfile’s Extract Annotations feature to extract th

Could you use Zotfile to temporarily move the linked files to another folder, and then whatever is left behind are the unattached/unlinked files?

i.e. I would like to export Zotero(&Zotfile) preference of one computer and import it in another one.

I've been a devoted Zotero+Zotfile user for a few years, thanks y'all for all your great work!

If I change the metadata (f.i. the title) of an existing entry, then the attached file, in my case a pdf, isn't renamed automatically. Only by manually forcing the renaming (through the ZotFile contex

ZotFile with relative base directories and some other sync options (like Dropbox etc.) would work, but the latter might again not be possible at work I suppose.

Thank you for your quick feed-back. I know about ZotFile but this would mean that I cannot use the same setup at home and at work, which really is the great thing about the Zotero server. I'll keep on

You're aware that you can use ZotFile to turn attachments into links in any custom location you want to? That does have some downsides, but it should solve your biggest issue.
