  1. Zotfile does not delete PDF files when a database entry is deleted

    by nicolas.lienart · April 12, 2024
    Code: https://github.com/redleafnew/zotero-javascripts/blob/main/04delete-the-attachment-files-after-the-items-have-been-removed-when-zotfile-was-installed.js
  2. PDFs do not open

    by dstillman · April 10, 2024
    You'd have to have set up a plugin (ZotFile in Zotero 6) that's creating linked files. Zotero never stores linked files on its own unless you specifically choose that when you add each file.
  3. Maybe zotero-win should be able to create Linux-style file link

    by lusupeng · April 10, 2024
    I'm using zotero on both Mac and Win, zotfile to create attachment links, iCloud to sync file between them.
  4. Zotfile - linking stored PDF - not renaming and moving, it creates a copy instead

    by tim820 · April 9, 2024
    How are you manually adding the file ? If you drag a PDF from a folder in your OS onto a Zotero item, Zotero will first copy the file to a folder under Zotero\storage; and then Zotfile will kick in an

    Hi!
  6. Annotations on PDF not showing

    by dougsyeung · April 7, 2024
    I am using Zotfile to send the pdf to Supernote for reading. However, all the annotations I made on the PDF are not showing after I imported it back to Zotero. Any suggestions/solutions?
  7. Google Drive Linked Files All Gone Although Zotero and Zotfile Have the Right Address

    by dandylion77 · April 4, 2024
    With all my library even after setting my LABD Base Directory and Zotfile custom location to the new location /Users/dandylion77/Library/CloudStorage/GoogleDrive-dandylion77/My Drive/PAPERS/AUTH/
  8. Highlights are not synced in Zotero pdf viewer

    by JannAmos · April 3, 2024
    I use Zotfile and syncthing to sync Highlights from my boox note to Zotero. Until recently this worked just fine but now the following problem has arisen: the files are synchronized by syncthing and s
  9. Solution: existing files cannot be found even though they exist

    by tim820 · April 3, 2024
    that problem was largely fixed/avoided by using Zotfile's renaming rule 'Remove special characters (diacritics) from filename' in its Advanced Settings. So now none of my (linked/single-folder-locati
  10. How to Get table of conents from PDF in Zetero 7

    by AsychEpool · April 2, 2024
    I also miss the “Get table of contents” function in Zotfile for Zotero 6.
  11. Solution: existing files cannot be found even though they exist

    by titusp · April 1, 2024
    Use Zotfile attachment to force rename the files to the same thing with no metadata. Like just "attachment.pdf". Not author, year etc. NOTE this is why I excluded items with multiple attachments as I

  13. Updated Zotero automatically disabled plugins

    by adamsmith · March 28, 2024
    If you updated to Zotero 7, the bottom 4 are not currently compatible, I believe. ZotFile and Sci-Hub won't be, I believe (but there are alternatives), I don't know about the other two (though would b

  15. Switching Stored Files to Linked Files

    by jacobmarchio · March 27, 2024
    ZotFile will automatically move PDFs that are attached to items from the start, e.g. when you're downloading an item from its abstract/landing page and Zotero attaches a PDF. (This is also in most cas
  16. Switching Stored Files to Linked Files

    by adamsmith · March 27, 2024
    I think this is actually simpler than this. For Zotfile to work, you just need the Custom Location folder to be entered *and* that option selected. A PDF downloaded by the Zotero Web connector will th

  18. Switching Stored Files to Linked Files

    by jacobmarchio · March 26, 2024
    I don't mean to raise a dead topic here - but I don't think I have something set up right. I've attempted to switch from Zotero sync to the linked files method. I have ZotFile set up such that Locatio
  19. Zotfile preferences - dynamic custom location

    by adamsmith · March 23, 2024
    The settings above are fine for that. Do note that ZotFile does not automatically move files after you've dragged them to Zotero (which isn't typically the recommended way to add to Zotero). You have
  20. Available for beta testing: Zotero for Android

    by slow500 · March 23, 2024
    I know nothing about implementation. However, I understand that ZotFile - an external Zotero plugin - is capable to extract highlighting and annotations from pdfs, and then feed them into Zotero - irr
