You can use ZotFile (download the .xpi and in stall it from Tools-->add-ons -->the tools icon --> Install from File )

thnx for ur response but I am using Zotero standalone, thus zotfile not working. Besides that I also want to export Zotero library in excel, how it can be done??

But even if you use, e.g., ZotFile to save attachments outside of the storage folder, items can be in multiple collections and there wouldn't be a good way to deal with one file being in multiple loca

If you don't want to use Zotero for file sync, then yes, moving attached files via ZotFile is what you want to do.

2. Much more important question: when I used Zotero casually, I had ZotFile put my files in a specific folder and I very much would like to keep that folder where it is. I don't recall when/how I did

My understanding is that Zotfile does not support sending attachments that are in a group library to a tablet. Does anyone have a suggestion for a workflow to do this? I've considered moving the files

Zotero plugins - I think everyone should run Zotfile, any Mac use QuickLook, and many people would benefit from Zutilo, e.g.

I am comfortable with these manipulations in zotfile. You could play around with the color stuff. I am actually extracting the colors for the pdf but they are not used by zotfile. I guess it would be

For PDFs, you can just add regular comments/highlighting and use ZotFile to extract them into Zotero notes. It sounds to me like you would probably benefit more from tagging items, rather than making

I know you probably are very busy and there is not enough time to implement all this, so I would really like to help you. I don't have much coding experience but I will try my best. I just recently le

I have ZotFile installed and see it was involved in a similar error on a prior thread. I also am syncing my database to box.com via WebDAV. Any thoughts?

2) Use attachment notes (not separate notes) for information (e.g. zotfile)

i have ZotFile installed in FireFox and am using Zotero for FireFos

i just discovered a FireFox extension - Zotfile

You mean the function where Zotfile generates the labels for extracted highlights? That's in zotfile.js, starting about here: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/blob/master/chrome/content/zotfile/zot

zotfile.js

Rather than getting Zotfile to move a file added to Zotero, is it possible to get it to automatically link to a file that is added? (Rather than having to do it manually, after the fact, like you illu

right - and that's what ZotFile helps you to do by automatically moving any file that you add to Zotero to a custom location of your choice, e.g. in your dropbox folder. Did you look at this?

A third alternative would be to install Zotfile (www.zotfile.com), select all items in the group and use the "send to tablet" function.
