Still in 5.0.19. Is it possible ZotFile causing this because is auto renaming PDF files? ZotFile is the only addon that I installed

Thank you very much. ZotFile looks like what I was looking for.

be set to your preferred download folder. ZotFile allows you to add the last file downloaded to that folder to the item you currently have selected (e.g. when Zotero's auto download failed.)

Base file under tablet is where the annotated pdfs would be sent to and the source file is telling zotfile to retrieve those annotated files to go back into zotero which should then be sync'd with zot

If I wanted to overwrite the original file with the annotations I do on my tablet, what settings should I configure on my zotfile preferences, if my end goal is to keep my attachments and such on Zote

Yes, the workflow described in the libguide is what we're suggesting. ZotFile actually has a preference that lets you choose whether to create two copies or overwrite.

If you need to recreate your collection hierarchy in a file system, use ZotFile.

Would it be possible to use zotfile in conjunction with Zotero's online storage system or would i have to use something like dropbox, box, etc, to make it sync correctly between zotero standalone and

Zotfile is still your best bet for annotating PDFs on an iPad or Android tablet.

I currently have zotero 5.0.18 stand alone on my PC. My ultimate goal is to be able to pull up papers on a tablet (I don't currently own a tablet), highlight and annotate, then send them back to my co

That is probably the pop up for the Zotfile plugin, not Zotero itself. This is a known bug that the Zotfile developer is working on. In the mean time, you can fix it manually by opening the Zotero Con

Well, I posted a bug(?) report in the Zotfile thread because the renaming to linked attachments using that extension does not work with Zotero 5. Until that issue is resolved, my setup is not function

Bug(?) report: When I try to change the Zotfile options (in the Firefox/Add-on settings menu) to save the pdfs into a custom location on my computer (and create a link to those files in Zotero), click

When I try to change the Zotfile options to save the pdfs into a custom location on my computer, the button to choose that location does not work.

Is Zotfile fully functional with Zotero 5.x? I cannot create linked attachments and Zotfile does not add the newest download from my firefox download map.

No, ZotFile can still do that: right-click --> Attach New Item.

Thanks for pointing that out in the changelog. I suggest that the "Features" section on the Zotfile site be corrected, as it currently reads "ZotFile can rename and add the most recently modified file

I recently upgraded Zotero to ver. 5.0+ and Zotfile to the latest version as well. Since the upgrade, Zotfile no longer automatically scans the download folder and asks to attach the file to the selec
