I love the hidden zotfile option to create separate notes based on the color of the annotation (pdfExtraction.colorNotes). But it also separates out by highlight vs. notes. For example, I get one note

Zotero doesn't work particularly well with Dropbox, no. You can use ZotFile to move files to a Dropbox folder, but if you place Zotero's database (and it's default set-up) into Dropbox, things will st

Right, I had a vague recollection of a problem with that in ZotFile. I'm afraid that is (or rather, would be) the only way to do this in batch currently.

Thanks! The method you mention *should* work, but it seems there is an issue in Zotfile which does not allow me to do this to more than 1 file at once:

I'm pretty sure Zotfile (www.zotfile.com) should allow you to do that:

"(though we're planning to extend the built-in renaming to do much of what ZotFile can do)."

Another option would be to use the ZotFile plugin to convert all stored files to linked files in a temporary directory, set it up as a linked attachment base directory to convert all the files to rela

Ok I changed zotfile settings, location of files from custom location (the zotero folder which is then linked) to attach stored copy of files.

Some of the files I have in my library have the linked icon, and some have the PDF icons, all are saved in my zotero folder. I use ZotFile. How can I change so that all have PDF icons? Thanks.

There's an open ticket in ZotFile for 8 (https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/363), but the developer hasn't found a way for Zotero to signal to ZotFile when it's attaching a file after retrievi

Regarding (9), if you either choose the option in Zotfile to let Zotero store the files or you leave the location field blank, Zotfile should rename your files in place when renaming them? Are you usi

Ok, so how can I do this then? Any chance to store them both in Zotero and Zotfile?

The files need to actually be stored in Zotero though. If you have used ZotFile to turn them into links, having file storage on won't help.

My Zotfile are synced so that when pdf's come to my download folder they are moved to my Zotero folder on drobox. That way it is easy to share a dropbox link to others, use my library with several dev

Yes that’s what I’m referring to. The annotations that can be created via zotfile. They were displaying as part of my library along with PDFs and child notes with a yellow icon beside them the PDFs ha

The third-party ZotFile plugin can extract the annotations you make to child notes in Zotero. Is that what you're referring to?

2) Configure ZotFile to store files as linked files within the base directory.

I triple checked my path settings in Zotfile preferences and they are correct (although I can believe there may have been a time during my data entry when the "Desktop" was missing from the path - it
