(ZotFile used to have functionality more akin to a real watchfolder, but that was never quite stable and the developer decided to discontinue it)

ZotFile offers an option to manually add the most recently downloaded file from a specified directory to the currently selected item, but that's mainly for use when you've added an item to Zotero and

Hi, I'm a new user of zotero and zotfile. Coming from mendeley, I hope to get the watched folder function which was available in mendeley.

I've run into an error and could use some help. When I try to extract annotations, I receive the error "Zotfile was unable to extract all annotations because pdf.js does not support certain pdf standa

Apparently, I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing what. The only addon I have installed is ZotFile, and it's up to date.

I have Zotero and zotfile installed. I cannot figure out how to get it to extract my notes and highlights that I made via PDF expert. Could some one please help?

Thanks for the fast response! Can you advise me how I run this command in ZotFile to add the most recent file. I only see ZotFile settings in Zotero.

for Mendeley is hugely comfortable. It seems zotfile does not doe this. Article pdfs tend to come from different sources, which I save in my own pdf collection and hence it would be great to have ref
