  1. Feature request: Remove accents/diacritics from filenames

    by tim820 · January 29, 2026
    to the linked-files folder/renamed in Zotero (as Zotfile did).
  2. force attachment rename

    by tim820 · January 28, 2026
    Since you are using linked files, note that Zotmoov still renames linked PDFs in the same way it always has, using Zotero's renaming scheme (as Zotfile did prior to that, using its own renaming scheme
  3. Zotero 8 auto-renaming for linked files

    by tim820 · January 23, 2026
    Note that Zotmoov makes the file name and file title the same (as Zotfile used to).
  4. iPad for reading annotating pdf books then sync back

    by tim820 · January 19, 2026
    (NB the example shown there is the *opposite* to what you are doing. It is similar to Zotfile's old Send/Get From Tablet, which worked by creating linked files in a cloud folder temporarily, for acces
  5. Plugin listing refresh

    by mkostura · January 14, 2026
    reasons. The Zotero Citation counts manager and Zotfile are two that I found particularly useful but are now no longer in service. There are several others that are also not working. Might be time
  6. Attachment Rename Bug: Metadata Retrieval Renames Files to 'PDF' or 'EBOOK

    by tim820 · January 10, 2026
    Just a note for those previous Zotfile/linked file users used to the attachment title always matching the file name: the plugins that replace Zotfile in version 7 - Zotmoov or Attanger - replicate Zot
  7. Recommended tools/workflows for attaching PDF from browser to existing item

    by tim820 · December 18, 2025
    For linked attachment files, Zotmoov has the same feature that Zotfile did (and so does Attanger IIRC). It's under Advanced Options in its Settings ("Search Folder for Attaching New Files"). Once you'
  8. Recommended tools/workflows for attaching PDF from browser to existing item

    by adamsmith · December 17, 2025
    1) Zotfile's ability to attach the last item added to the Downloads folder and
  9. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by abracadabra01 · December 10, 2025
    I installed Zotero 6 without Zotfile plugin, i.e. just unzip instance and tried to attach external zip-file to the record - result on the picture:
  10. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by tim820 · December 10, 2025
    Although as you say Zotfile no longer works, if you used it in the past with your linked files, that would be why you were used to seeing the title and file name matching.
  11. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by abracadabra01 · December 10, 2025
    I will check all your suggestions carefully but maybe I don't understand you - ZotFile is out-of-date long ago. Zotmoove - it is about move files but not renaming as a trigger when file is attached or
  12. Zotero attachments file incorrect naming (bug)

    by tim820 · December 9, 2025
    As your ZIP file is a linked attachment file, it's possible that the previous behaviour you are referring to - where the title matches the file name - was achieved via the Zotfile plugin ?
  13. Switching between stored and linked files to annotate pdfs on iPad

    by tim820 · November 17, 2025
    PDF reader on mobile devices. That was what Zotfile's old Send/Get From Tablet used to do, in the days before Zotero's internal PDF reader and the Zotero mobile apps. So the PDF is moved into linked
  14. Switching between stored and linked files to annotate pdfs on iPad

    by tim820 · November 15, 2025
    These operations are indeed a tad complex to understand and set up. Zotmoov (and Attanger) were originally written to provide continuity for former Zotfile users when that stopped working in Zotero v6
  15. Non-pdf linked files?

    by lerocknrolla · November 14, 2025
    I've just used Zotmoov to send all my new pdfs to my dropbox Zotero folder, as I used to do Zotfile; I hadn't yet noticed that Zotfile was no longer active, and noticed my hard drive was filling up.
  16. Zotero won't sync on one device

    by dani.buchheister · November 10, 2025
    appName => Zotero, version => 7.0.27 (x64), os => Windows 11 26100, locale => en-US, extensions => Notero (1.2.1, extension), ZotFile (5.1.2, extension, disabled)
  17. Zotero 7 file renaming customization — truncate title after colon

    by EINP · November 6, 2025
    @Ionja - Did you find a solution to this? I am also missing zotfile's clean file names, without hanging characters/partial words/etc.
  18. Watched folder” functionality to automatically import PDFs (like Mendeley used to do)

    by eteixidor · November 4, 2025
    I know Mendeley had this feature years ago, and ZotFile offered something similar in a semi-automated way, but as far as I understand, ZotFile is not compatible with Zotero 7.
  19. Attachment Preview Destroys Standalone PDF Workflow (Need Disable Option)

    by dstillman · October 25, 2025
    Embedded attachment notes were always an esoteric feature, used mostly by third-party plugins (e.g., ZotFile stored PDF outlines there), and they don't really reflect how Zotero is designed to be used
  20. Zotfile for Zotero7 ?

    by tim820 · October 17, 2025
    Zotmoov or Attanger replace Zotfile in v7.
