1. I don't understand the first part of this. The way ZotFile works is by taking files downloaded to Zotero (storage) and moving+linking them. How does the watched folder play into this? The functiona

(So, all Zotfile questions go in this one thread?)

@santiago.villaperde -- You can definitely change the character between elements to - by changing the renaming format, but I'm not sure if you can change what ZotFile does within elements.

There's an easier solution: ZotFile creates a Saved search "Tablet Files" which should show up at the bottom left of your Zotero. If it doesn't, ZotFile has an option in the preferences to recreate it

I use zotfile to rename attachments and move them into a cloud folder ...

I'm sure there is something about this out there, but I'm not able to search for it.

Is there any way to change the extension of the filename associated with each attachment, besides doing so manually, one by one? Neither ZotFile nor Zutilo appear capable of this.

I am using Zotfile to classify my pdf library, and I have a question. By default, Zotfile allows you to replace blanks with underscores by checking the "Replace blanks" option.

(This is ZotFile, btw., doesn't come built in with Zotero).

Its pretty easy to use Zotero with Google drive to store files. Simply use Zotfile to send the pdf to your google drive folder and use relative links. You can then mirror your zotero library on multip

storage unless you manually move them using ZotFile, so I don't think this'll work smoothly, but in technical terms it is _possible_ to have a mixed set up where some files are linked and synced thro

I work with Zotfile, because I require to sync the files to my iPad via Google Drive.

Sorry, yes, “Get from tablet”. It likely didn’t do anything because you had manually removed the tag (the tag is how Zotfile manages which items have copies on the tablet). If you try with a new item

Don’t remove the _tablet line manually (and put it back on the one you removed it from). Zotfile will add/remove that automatically.

Hi,

The other two methods to sync files between computers -- using webDAV and using linked files and relative links, typically involving ZotFile -- are described here: https://www.zotero.org/support/sync#

*use zotfile to extract annotations (which will create a note with the annotated text and backlinks to the pdf)

I recommend using Zotfile to send PDFs between your Zotero library and a cloud-drive folder, such as Dropbox or iCloud. You can then access the PDFs in that cloud folder using iPad apps such as iBooks

Do you have any idea why the highlighter function wouldn't be working well in Preview (or other apps)? I would be fine switching over if it meant ZotFile could do the extractions, but my main complain

it's clearly highlighting text, and that's why ZotFile can extract it. If it's just a drawing, it wouldn't be able to.
