My workflow often works like this: I put PDF onto my tablet, then go for a walk to read and annotate. I sometimes click links that open web pages–usually to Google Scholar cases–and then use print-to…

Ah, I think locate may take you to the storage folder when it has no idea where it should be looking. Not sure, actually, why this started working for you. Adding Zotfile in both places shouldn't have

Thank you for for your help! It works now; I had Users\\Dropbox\Zotero\Zotfile in the relative file base directory.

How do you tell that Zotero is looking in the storage directory? It shouldn't, if you use ZotFile to move files.

I have a similar problem but cannot seem to fix it with the steps above and I have also read this thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/55466/zotfile-dropbox-zotero/#Item_0

Yes, restarted Firefox, restarted Windows, disable everything but Zotero extension (even disabled Word and ZotFile plugins).

I changed in Zotfile's preferences the 'Use subfolder defined by' from

Zotero has always been built on extensibility. Other notable add-ons include Zutilo and ZotFile (both available on the mozilla add-on repository) and to a lesser extent the ODF Scan add-on that Frank

I'll set the same settings in my desktop PC when I get home. The issue I have right now is that Zotero is not picking up any of the attached PDFs that are stored in the year-named folders by Zotfile i

Right, since you're using ZotFile now anyway, no reason to keep the database in Dropbox.

Now that I'm using Zotfile, it allows me to set up a different folder to store my PDFs, so I guess the above is not an issue anymore. I'd still like to know what I'm doing wrong though.

(I read this thread https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/55466/zotfile-dropbox-zotero/#Item_0 but it is not what I'm looking for)

Still, I do think my suggestion would be a good enhancement to Zotfile. Not only might it be more intuitively obvious than clicking the bold title, it would also keep fools like me from accidentally r

Joscha, merci pour le plug-in Zotfile. Je suis content, ce qui me permet de travailler avec l'Ipad.

marsh -- you can just rename in Zotero (by clicking on the bold title at the top right). Only downside is that it won't persist if you auto-rename again with ZotFile in the future, but that should be

I'm using Zotfile to catalog a library of pdfs. Today I ran into this problem. I'm storing a working paper I wrote myself. It has three parts: the original paper, a set of illustrations (graphs), and

Yeah, non-ascii file names will do that. I think Zotfile has an option to make sure you have only ASCII names for attachments.

Zotfile can create folder structures based on all different types of data; you can find instructions/descriptions on zotfile.com

The PDFs attached to my articles are stored in readable form automatically thanks to the Zotfile extension, but folder names are apparently random.

I suppose I can remove the _tablet tag from the item and delete it from the tablet sync folder, although my attempts to do this so far result in zotfile reporting "missing files". Is there a better wa
