Be sure to take a look at ZotFile for more renaming options. Sometimes I download 20+ articles per day, and adding those individually each time would be a real pain and a recipe for disaster

automatic renaming, often with the third-party ZotFile plugin, which offers sophisticated customizable renaming rules. (For linked files, I believe ZotFile does the renaming semiautomatically, so you

I haven't seen the number as .14, but Zotfile tries to note the page number and insert a clickable link to it in the note.

Most ZotFile operations only work on files attached to Zotero items, so you'd need to either retrieve metadata or where that fails right-click --> Create Parent Item in Zotero

Oh yes, I was referring to the zotfile website.

I think the problem is that they're on the wrong page. You want to download from http://zotfile.com/ at the top left.

@poettli thanks for your reply. I am fully aware how to add an .xpi file to Zotero. My question is for help on downloading the zotfile.xpi - please read my post carefully.

I am using Zotero 5 as a standalone program on Linux Mint 19 XFCE 64-bit. I would like to install the zotfile.xpi extension, but clicking on the link on the Github page tries to install it in Firefox,

No, Zotero’s current renaming rules are limited. If you want more detailed control over renaming, you should use Zotfile.

I was hoping that someone would have some advice on the renaming rules of linked files (in Zotero itself, not ZotFile). Is there a preliminary list of rules that do work? I've read that this feature i

very dangerous if you use zotfile before, which give all the files same name, I lost many files by such mistake

I wouldn't see why moving 28k files with ZotFile shouldn't work (though I'd do it in batches). Whether it's worth it is a question for you. Personally, I don't care where my files are outside Zotero.
