I'm coming from this issue I had with Zotero: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5301/29/zotfile-zotero-plugin-to-rename-move-and-attach-pdfs-send-them-to-ipad-extract-pdf-annotations/#Comment_25409

As I can only code in Python, I'm not sure I could come up with an entire plugin. Perhaps a simple script that scans the Zotero database and compares with the stored PDFs by Zotfile. How can I access

For this to work the way you want, ZotFile would either have to interface with how Zotero treats file links in a much more heavy handed way or Zotero would have to treat links to files in a completely

I'm running Zotero v4.0.29.10, Zotfile v4.2.6, and Zotero Connector v4.0.29.1 (also active is Zutilo v2.0.1), under elementary OS Freya (based on Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit) with Google Chrome v50.0.2661.10

My preferred solution is to use the Zotfile plugin for Zotero desktop. Like adamsmith says, the "Send to Tablet" feature sends pdfs to a Dropbox/etc. folder and then pulls them back later (manually).

ZotFile (actively maintained and completely different from ZotPad) would be an alternative low-tech solution: it has a function that allows you to push some papers to a folder (typically: a syncing fo

I have seen Zotfile but the App Store shows it as having last been updated in 2013 so I am concerned that it may no longer be being supported. I do see, however, that there are May 2016 posts in the f

I use Zotfile to export the library automatically from Zotero as a bibtex file and then the reference manager Erathosthenes on the Android to import that bibtex file.

If you have set an item in Zotero, and later want to attach a PDF to it from another source, the ZotFile "watch folder" feature is very convenient.

As I said -- you can use them concurrently (the question here was whether you _have_ to). You need to have ZotFile installed (and with the same setup) in both the Firefox and the Standalone version if

If I already installed Standalone and the Zotero FF extension, which should I remove? I probably don't need the standalone. I found that the directories are pointing to the same place, but my Zotfile

You might be able to create a decent workflow combining a separate plagiarism tool with Zotfile. You can use Zotifle's Send to Tablet feature (which really just places attachments in a specific folder

Hi I'm a non programmer outsider, this is more of a feature request than an issue...I just found a separate discussion here after searching zotero hypothes.is, as I thought it would be a good idea to,

b) You can set up ZotFile to move files to a custom location and set that to the external HD. That should work nicely and as opposed to 2a, it won't matter if the disk isn't life when Zotero starts up

2) move this on to an external drive or cloud storage somehow? I am using Zotfile as well so interested to know if this is an option for moving data.

you're seeing. It has nothing to do with sync, ZotFile etc.

And can you reliably _cause_ these duplicates to appear? I.e. they appear immediately after using ZotFile's rename or so?

In my case I need this feature because I am using Zotfile to annotate my PDF, creating a copy of it (I want to keep a non-annotated version to send it if needed), but sometimes it is not set as the de

ghavamikia -- it's not possible currently, though some degree of it might be in the near future, but also this is the wrong thread. This almost certainly wouldn't happen as part of Zotfile.

I havn't tried zotxt yet, I'm thinking of using it with emacs orgmode, but does it export not only citations but annotations imported from zotfile?
