LOVE Zotero & Zotfile!

It depends on exactly what you want, but you can configure ZotFile to convert stored files into linked files in an external directory of your choosing, optionally with subfolders based on the metadata

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.

This is the first feature mentioned on the ZotFile page. It's not automatic, but you can configure a directory (e.g., your browser download directory) and then run a command in ZotFile to add the most

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
