you need ZotFile installed in Standalone, too, not just in Firefox.

I recently installed Zotero standalone and Firefox extensions along with Zotfile running on Windows 10. I'd just begun to build out my library when I realized that there is no "Manage Attachments" opt

You misunderstand what Zotfile is/does. Zotfile mainly does the following things (combined with some other smaller convenient features):

I have Zotero stand-alone (most recent version, in windows 10), and are migrating from Mendeley. Zotfile is installed as an add-on in my firefox browser and via add-ons within Zotero.

I recently discovered Zotfile and used it to successfully rename PDFs and move them to a custom location on my hard drive. I believed this would free up storage space but I've reached maximum storage

Zotfile works with both Zotero for Firefox and Standalone, but you have to install the plugin separately into each program.

I installed both the browser plugin and the Standalone version but the Zotfile options only appeared in the browser plugin, so I was planning to rely on that one. Are you saying that the browser versi

Excellent, so I can combine step d) and e) if I first set the custom location in Zotfile(I actually already set that location, so it is good to know this will happen).

The post is correct and it depends on the settings. If you have a custom location specified, Zotfile does move files; if you don't, it doesn't.

Regarding the rename function from ZotFile, I read here that it does not move the files: http://superuser.com/questions/542078/how-to-use-zoterozotfile-to-rename-all-pdf-files-in-a-directory

II - no, there is fine. You can use ZotFile to do this, too (the "Rename attachment" function in ZotFile also moves files)

c) Use the Zotero/Zotfile? function to download meta data for the imported files

jfiduccia, that is pretty much impossible. Zotfile does not make any changes to the pdf so the problem must be related to something else...

Outil pour Zotero (1.4.0pre001, extension), ZotFile (4.2.6, extension), ZoteroQuickLook (1.3.1.1-signed.1-signed, extension), Zotero-to-BibDesk auto-import utility (2.0.6.1-signed.1-signed, extension

thus I'm supposing that the problem is with the zotfile extension. This occurs in almost all cases of PDFs that I have highlighted and from which I've attempted to extract annotations, but I can't se

2. How do I go about this? I have used and donated to the Zotfile add-on but I am still a bit unsure how to make the transfer. Under "General Settings/Location of Files" I have selected "Custom Locati

In the Zotfile preferences, if you choose "Custom Location" and leave it blank, it will rename PDFs in place, so you could attach PDFs as links to Zotero items regularly and then just use Zotfile to r

Now I want to add links to this pdf files in Zotero (I don't want to add files because don't need to duplicate them in Zotero folder). But also I want to use Zotfile convenience with remaning files.<b

ZotFile won't be affected and everything will get synced to webDAV, not just new stuff.

If I have a Zotfile configured in a way to manage my Pdfs in my subfolders structure, will it be still OK after change to WebDaV?
