You could also use ZotFile's "Send to Tablet" functionality for this (it actually just sends files to any pre-specificed folder, not necessarily a tablet).

@dragonfly Yes, adamsmith is right, the procedure is different. But if I got it right, Zotfile also has to use a work around (cf Zotfile\chrome\content\zotfile\zotfile.js: att.setNote(note.innerHTML.

@dragonfly -- Zotfile writes this into the note directly in html using the javascript API. EnoraEdelect is trying to paste from an html clipboard to the rich text (i.e. default) view of the note, so t

However, Zotfile does this exactly (including adding the zotero://open-pdf protocol) and when clicking on the link added to the annotation the source PDF is launched in default PDF Viewer (I use Foxit

I spread the info in many different notes, the Zotfile annotation extraction tool doesn't help me much (in particular because it extracts all the highlights at once, while I just need the last one).

I think the last update to Zotpad predates support for collection folder structure (%c) in Zotfile, so I don't think you will be able to get this to work (the Zotpad developer no longer maintains the

Hey there I have bought a new iPad to read my academic papers on it. I'm already a ZotFile user and I sync all the pdf files in my library with linked files in dropbox. Never had a single problem with

(Foxit and Adobe Reader). As a workaround I got Zotfile which allows me to extract comments from comment boxes in PDFs into Zotero's note box. But I would still like to know if it is possible to make

I have a solution for removing orphaned attachments using Zotfile (which I've just successfully used). I'll explain here. First I would suggest correcting metadata that is used in renaming - this is a

I used Zotero Standalone with Zotfile and Better Bibtext addons. Imported to Zotero with Menotexport.

@bwiernik: You're right, I can't believe I never figured out Delete and Shift+Delete before! And yes, I use the menu key/context menu as the basis for my AutoHotkey script for Zotfile commands, but it

Delete while in a collection will Remove Item from Collection. Shift+Delete will Move Item to Trash. Zotfile commands are harder. Easiest method would be to use the menu key (on Windows) and navigate

"Remove Item from Collection"), as well as Zotfile commands for renaming attachments and extracting annotations. I currently have a workaround using AutoHotkey but it's not ideal, so I'd like to use

Anyway, I think we are digressing from Zotfile and my question.

I am having problems - I set a custom location for files in the zotfile preferences to a folder I sync between computers. I chose the same folder on both computers but when I swap between computers, Z

Zotfile does not currently support Zotero 5.0.

That is, no sub-folder. I think I can use Zotfile to move my PDFs and update the links to the PDFs, BUT that is possible only if I also tell Zotfile to rename those PDFs. And I do not wish to rename

@bwiernik and @adamsmith , if the OP only transfers metadata from Mendeley to Zotero, then, Zotfile is of no use, right? So, the correct procedure would be to:

b) you can link to the files on Google drive -- you can do that manually or using zotfile as bwiernik suggests, use Google drive to sync the files and use Zotero to sync the data.
