Zotfile, interesting... I will try to learn about it. Thanks

You can also use ZotFile to move your stored PDFs out of Zotero data folder into some organized folder structure (based on metadata). This way you would be able to take advantage of automatic PDF impo

http://zotfile.com/ has a watch folder feature if that's what you want, though idk if it can link to PDFs in a watch folder.

The annotation extraction is really improved, thanks so much for all your hard work on Zotfile. 3.3 is great.

Here is also a short description for most of the wildcards: http://zotfile.com/#renaming-rules

The default wildcards are in the preference zotfile.wildcards.default

(On a separate item, is a list of zotfile wildcards available? The info link in the plugin is broken, and I flipped through the source online, but didn't spot where they are defined.)

I haven't used zotfile, so there may be MLZ-specific issues to sort out. I'll install it tomorrow and see if I can make it fail.

I've been having some problems with MLZ and ZotFile playing nicely together recently. A couple days ago, the ZotFile contextual menu (which has commands like "send to tablet") stopped working. It wo

I'm running ZotFile 3.3 with MLZ on my Mac. It was working great for a while, but today I can't use the contextual menus to manage attachments at all. They say "warning" in multiple places, and none

Hi, on Mac OSX 10.9.4 running Firefox 29.0.1, Zotero 4.0.20.2 and Zotfile 3.1, I have noticed that Zotfile takes a long time to move, link and rename files after they are added to my library: approxim

To clarify, though, adamsmith is telling you how to convert working linked files into stored files using ZotFile — but I'm just saying that if the stored files you do have are missing, it's possible t

I'm completely lost now. I installed zotfile and selected 'attach stored copy of file". I right clicked on item -manage attachments - rename file, but got a zotfile 'skipped attachments' warning. <

If the files are mostly attached to an item, Zotfile should work for that:

1) I am not sure what's going on. Zotfile checks the registry for the path to the default pdf viewer. I don't have access to a windows machine so I can't really test anything. If you have coding exper

You can install Zotfile by downloading the .xpi file, then from Tools-->add-ons--> extensions and then click on the tools icon and "Install from File" and select the downloaded file.

window.ZoteroPane.document.getElementById('zotero-items-tree').addEventListener('focus', Zotero.ZotFile.watchFolder, false);

Just a note on what zotfile does: I think Dan refers to is the 'Attach new file' function in zotfile. The sort-of watch folder feature is different. It checks the watched folder and saves the mtime of

I realize that you pointed me down the Base directory path, and since you mentioned ZotFile, I added it to my reply.
