I recommend Zotfile’s Send to Tablet feature and/or viewing items on the Zotero web library.

metadata for PDFs, and renaming/organizing via Zotfile is the most practical process until I can integrate Zotero into my initial lit reviews using the connectors. I can see from searching the forums

Actually, it happened even after disabling ZotFile. Symptom is similar; blank central pane but you can see Info etc. However, this time I was not editing Group Library. And this time I'm using Mac.

It’s possible that that extension would work. You could try to add Zotero to the extension’s install.rdf file and see if it works (look at Zotfile for an example install.rdf entry for Zotero).

Is there a way of defining renaming rules in Zotfile that will avoid this kind of collision?

If you use those renaming rules, I would recommend using Zotero’s native renaming functon, rather than Zotfile’s function.

Zotfile moves the files to the appropriate folder and renames them to:

Indeed, ZotFile was complaining something. Thank you. Looks like I don't have to investigate it further.

Well, in this case it looks like there's just an error from ZotFile when adding a file. We'd want to know if this happens with all third-party extensions disabled, and if so we'd want to see a Debug I

I have downloaded and installed ZotFile and it is now working.

This isn't a feature of Zotero but of the ZotFile add-on, which you can install: http://zotfile.com

That's not a native Zotero option. It depends on the Zotfile add-on: http://zotfile.com

At this time, no, it is not possible to have Zotfile remove special characters.

My digital reader is really limited at handling hispanic characters: papers saved with a single character, say "é" should fail the system. While it is super nice for Zotfile to name the PDF files sinc

You can however, use Zotfile to add the most recently downloaded item in a “watch” folder to a Zotero item when you click a button in the context menu.

This is not possible in Zotero, sorry. (It used to be possible-ish in ZotFile, but didn't work well, and was discontinued in the most recent version, which is required for Zotero 5 compatibility)

I have looked around and have a feeling Zotfile should be able to do this. I have installed zotfile but can't seem to understand how this would work.

2. A way to rename individual attachments from within Zotero in addition to Zotfile's renaming goodness. For example, Zotero/Zotfile might scrape bibliographic data and download a 2017 article by John
