Might be a coincidence, but for what it's worth, the only reports we've seen of this are from people with ZotFile installed, and one was specifically about annotation extraction:

I have not clear how to allow to zotfile (version 3.1) to watch a directory. In the preferences, in "Source folder ..." I have put my custom directory. But Zotero does not include automatically. Am I

I'm the one who posed the question (changed username). It's good to know I'm not the only one. I'll just use zotfile to order my pdf's in subfolders when I need to share them with colleagues.

This is something that has been raised and Joscha appears to be generally in favor of within Zotfile, but doesn't have time to implement.

that probably makes most sense, right? This is really pretty much for people who use ZotFile.

This could be implemented in ZotFile either on-the-fly as links are deleted, or as a feature to clean up orphaned files.

haven't thought much about this (and I'm not using it) but yeah, I think it's just deleting, but I could be forgetting something. But I guess moving can still be handled by Zotfile where/when desired.

I was wondering if this is something one could pref with a significant warning attached. I understand, of course, the conceptual reasons why it doesn't make sense, but once people do use ZotFile for a

Maybe a way to do it is to let zotfile make the moved files the attached file instead of just a linked file.

But when Zotfile moved that pdf, the pdf remains on that location.

I've tried disabling ZotFile, and it doesn't seem to affect the behaviors I described (i.e. highlighting, sorting, opening/closing linked attachments all refresh only if I switch to another tab and ba

In your second report you're getting this repeatedly: [JavaScript Error: "TypeError: file is undefined" {file: "chrome://zotfile/content/zotfile.js" line: 267}]

possibly, by a third-party Zotero add-on (like Zotfile). If you have some sort of Zotero add-on installed (would be listed under Tools -> Add-ons), let us know and we _might_ be able to help you find

solec: How exactly are you adding the files? Are you using Zotero alone, or with something like ZotFile? Your debug output shows an attempt to open a linked files, not one stored within Zotero's own d

I tried it again on a fresh new file (another copy of the same pdf) and everything works, seems like something went wrong with that particular file while processing it with zotfile.

Hi, I am using Zotfiles to extrract annotations from PDF files.

It's in the advanced settings tab of ZotFile:

I don't want Zotfile to automatically rename an attachment every time I save a reference to Zotero. As has already been discussed on this forum, the renaming step (either due to the fault of Zotfile

So I really want to know whether there is a method that can solve my problem without the help of zotfile.

By the way, I know the Add-on called "zotfile" that can solve my problem, but the settings are too many and sometimes it comes up with some new problems.
