Well, they're all attachments. You mean that some are linked attachments and some are stored within Zotero's data directory. ZotFile in general doesn't really have anything to do with syncing (except

I am using Zotfile as per these instructions:

Thanks for the clear explanation, adamsmith. I did not realize ZotFile can do the reverse. I didn't try out yet, but I expect it will solve my problem.

I save all pdf attachments in a separate folder using zotfile. I wonder if I move this folder to a different location, how do I re-link them to zotero?

The way to go is through ZotFile again - it can not just link items that are stored in Zotero, it can also do the reverse.

I have set up my library to work with linked file attachments, using the ZotFile extension to rename and store them on a network disk, so that these files can be opened from multiple machines.

the WebDAV is doing. So what exactly do you have ZotFile set up to do?

Doesn't zotfile handle/manage attachment additions and other attachment functions? this is what I meant. If I am wrong, then oops!

What exactly are you having Zotfile do? It can't "sync".

I have just installed a new harddrive to my Macbook (late 2009 model). In the old harddrive, I was using the most recent version of Zotero and the Zotfile plugin (3.1). I synced my .pdf attachments vi

note that's a Zotfile 3.1 version feature - it's not up on mozilla add-ons yet, you'll have to build it yourself as per

I'm new at using zotfile. I want to use the wildcards option but I cannot make it work with the firefox addon. In about:config I cannot find zotfile.wildcards.default, and even when I define zotfile.w

In either case, renaming the files using ZotFile for that first Debug ID should not have taken this long.

The operation - renaming 9 references through Zotfile - took more than 5 minutes.

I am using Zotero 4.0.17 and Better BibTeX plugin 0.0.51 (and ZotFile 3.0.3 in case it matters) on Windows 8 x64 Enterprise.

aurimas, pdf.js doesn't support the extraction of annotation itself so the version included in zotfile is modified. updateMarkup is one of the function I added. Others are charInAnnot and makeCharDims

application for as long as 5 minutes, and using Zotfile to rename/organize my pdf files through Zotero freezes the application for even an hour.

@Joscha, is the annotation extraction code for pdf.js written specifically for Zotfile (e.g. updateMarkup in canvas.js)? I can't find any reference to it anywhere else. I think the issue here is that

I think I am in the right thread, I'm sending a pdf to my tablet with zotfile, annotating, then returning pdf to zotero standalone and extracting annotations with zotfile, I'm not posting about indexi

if I understand you correctly, you're in the wrong thread. This thread is about ZotFile's "Extract Annotation" feature, not about Zotero's full text indexing of pdf files. If I'm right about this and
