ZotFile doesn't perform functionality that you'd typically associated with a "watched folder". It only attaches files from the source folder to items that already exist.

Hi, is there any place that explains how to set up the basic workflow with zotfile + zotero standalone? I feel quite stupid, but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do.

I'm using a naming convention that does not seem to be (completely) possible in Zotfile and I wondered if this could perhaps be introduced ?

Zotero has the inconvenience that it stores attached files in its own directory structure, even if one is already in place. It seems to me that this is part of the reason why Zotfile has been programm
