I've tried to search, found out about Zotfile and how it's supposed to be able to "move new & existing attachments to different locations", but I can't make it work, and I can't find the foolproof ste

When adding references (and files) to Zotero, I usually put them in a "To Read" folder. Ideally, zotfile would move all of those to the tablet straight away without needing special instructions... Is

As Dan says - if this is important to you, it's not very hard to achieve with linked files and Zotfile or with a smart folder.

I've spent a while googling this and scanning this thread now, so I hope I'm not double-posting. I just wanted to ask if there is a possible way to make ZotFile automatically move every file in a fold

Disable all extensions other than Zotero and the Zotero word processor extensions and try again. That includes ZotFile and any other Zotero-related extensions.

I have zotfile installed, so some of the trace will be renaming the pdf.

Relative Paths for linked files make it easier to work with Dropbox (e.g. in combination with ZotFile), though I'm worried by your mention of ./storage: Files stored with Zotero (i.e. the zotero/stora

If you're referring to ZotFile — which is a third-party extension, not created by Zotero developers — then you should post the ZotFile thread so the developer sees it.

Right now, when I launch either the standalone or firefox extension, I first got a sync error (red question mark - conflict about pdf file names, I'm using ZotFile to rename them). After manually solv

a quick solution in the current version of zotfile. Thanks for reporting and feel free to post another pdf with the same problem just so that I have two cases when I look into it.

I created a test Firefox profile and re-installed Zotfile to version 2.3.5. I was able to extract the annotations for the aforementioned test pdf at:

(Joscha above should read: Whether the extraction works or not only depends on your zotfile version

Just to be clear: Whether the extraction works or not only depends on your zotfile version, which comes packaged with a modified pdf.js version (the pdf.js version in firefox is irrelevant). So rollin

I'm planning on using Zotero to organizing and managing my office and personal documents. I know it's not its original purpose, but it really integrates in my workflow (open to hear other program sugg

Within ZotFile I have identified a folder where I want to save the pdfs of the papers I add to my library, and the re-naming of the .pdfs.
