It looks like that I must UNcheck it in order for Zotfile to take over.

I have removed and reinstalled Zotfile, and it did not make any difference either.

Thanks @smteinturs, that may be the case. But I had definitely been using it with EPUBs for awhile, and didn't have this problem at all before 5.0 (using Zotfile extension). So, it seems to have been

In my Zotero library, I have all sorts of papers which are not taken from journals and I would like them to be sorted by collection as it is my main way to organize in Zotero. I guessed that the wildc
