  1. Now available: Zotero 7

    by anhly · August 19, 2024
    Attanger is much better than Zotfile. Very happy that I found a replacement.
  2. Problem in "Attach link to file" using 2 computers with the same Base Directory (in Onedrive)

    by tim820 · August 18, 2024
    The video is basically correct though, in that it only shows setting the LABD under Advanced Preferences (to Google Drive in the example shown). The Zotero database is not moved. It does use Zotfile (
  3. Problem in "Attach link to file" using 2 computers with the same Base Directory (in Onedrive)

    Rather than using Zotfile, you may be better off dragging files from their sub-folders into Zotero as linked files.
  4. Problem in "Attach link to file" using 2 computers with the same Base Directory (in Onedrive)

    by jardaon · August 16, 2024
    I'm using ZotFile and 2 computers to access Zotero. It means that both computers have the same Base Directory (stored in OneDrive):

    For those who prefer the old way they experienced with Zotfile and/or Rename File From Parent Metadata, see also from the devs:
  6. Zotero 7 and Zotfile

    by tim820 · August 16, 2024
    @nes34 the (Onedrive) locations of your *existing* linked PDF attachment files are already stored in the Zotero database. If you disabled Zotfile (under Zotero v6), they would still be located by Zote
  7. Unexpected extra spaces in filenames when using custom filename format in Zotero 7

    by dstillman · August 16, 2024
    This isn't new in Zotero 7. Zotero has always removed colons and everything else listed as reserved on Wikipedia. (Here's a line from 2008 doing so.) If you were using ZotFile for renaming, it might n
  8. Unexpected extra spaces in filenames when using custom filename format in Zotero 7

    by UserAtForum · August 16, 2024
    Thanks. When I was using Zotero 6, it occasionally failed to remove characters like ':', leading to sync issues between Windows and Linux. So I used the ZotFile plugin to handle these special characte

    by nes34 · August 15, 2024
    I used to use Zotfile to create an attachment file in Onedrive. Now I cannot use it as zotfile not available anymore. From our recommendations, ZotMoov also seems a good option. But my problem is

  11. How to Automatically Move Files to Linked Attachment Base Directory in Zotero 7?

    by HenriqueCSJ · August 14, 2024
    I am excited about the new Zotero 7. To be honest, I updated it as soon as I saw it was available. However, I was surprised to discover that ZotFile will no longer be supported.

  13. Option for "et al" instead of "et al." in renaming rules

    by mtl_zack · August 14, 2024
    with my prior workflow (which relied on zotfile for file renaming), I would like to be able to set it so et al is not followed by a period. But it might also be nice to "explode" the firstCreator va

    by tim820 · August 14, 2024
    The location of your *existing* linked PDFs is already stored in your Zotero database, so there is no danger to those in migrating to Zotero v7 (without Zotfile). As in your screenshot, that location

    by samanthaculp · August 13, 2024
    Thanks @dstillman and @tim820 for comments. I've never used the Zotero iOS apps (for either iPhone or iPad) because it's always been buggy and crashes often. I had a good workflow with Zotfile which w

    by bert.lloyd.89 · August 13, 2024
    I am looking forward to upgrading to Z7. I have been using zotfile to link to attachments to a dedicated Dropbox folder. I see that zotfile will not be updated to work with Z7, and that there are some

    Just prepping to teach Zotero to undergrads, and my linux box automatically upgrades... I'm so happy about this, now I don't have to point to zotfile so much :)

    by tim820 · August 13, 2024
    @samanthaculp Zotmoov's "Move to Selected Directory" is just the equivalent of Zotfile's right-click Rename&Move (which moves a PDF to Zotfile's Custom Location folder). Zotmoov's "Directory To Move

    Hi @tim820 , if neither Zotmoov nor Attanger offers a "send to tablet" feature, is there any other plugin or method currently in Zotero 7 for me to easily send a given PDF/file to a Dropbox folder tha
  20. Easy file renaming for articles imported through the Connector?

    by danepps · August 12, 2024
    Having upgraded to Zotero 7, Zotfile no longer works (as I knew was going to happen). One functionality I've lost is for articles imported through HeinOnline, etc. to be automatically renamed. Is ther
