While files are stored in cryptic folders using storage, Zotero does automatically give them reasonable names (or you can have Zotfile rename them while leaving them in storage - the difference really

I use zotfile to rename them and store them in folders - combined with quicksilver and its mindblowing file manipulation features ;) this is a very powerful pdf-storage system!!

Version 2.3 of zotfile is now under review at mozilla with quite some changes. Here is a changelog. A lot of the new features were implemented by community members and the future development of zotfil

But two hidden options (openingQuotationMarks and closingQuotationMarks) have been added to the next ZotFile version (2.3 not yet released). You can access them through about:config

IIRC, the extracting code used by ZotFile comes from an older version of pdfjs. Someone has to update it...

On this point, Zotero also uses absolute path names? I thought maybe the pathnames were relative to the custom data or Zotfile directory. Using absolute path names is Mendeley's method which makes it

that's incorrect. If the links are actually exactly the same, Zotero _will_ recognize them. Many people do sync their Zotfile created file-struture using dropbox. I suspect your filepaths aren't ident

However, I am using Zotfile to keep a separate, single folder of PDFs outside of the storage/ directory; it seems that Zotero will not recognize the links to these files even if the local path of the

(I'm not using Zotfile's rename and move feature, so I don't know much about it, but it seems to me that using the tablet function for that isn't great, no?)

I've used Zotfile to rename attachments and move them, so they've now become links.

I've used Zotfile to rename attachments and move them, so they've now become links. However, I want to move them again (into a folder on Dropbox)...if I use the "rename attachments" feature, the pdfs

that would work well with Zotero's file syncing: http://www.zotero.org/support/sync#file_syncing using either webDAV or Zotero file storage, but not with files linked to Zotero (e.g. using Zotfile, wh

If Zotero isn't for you, that is fine. I prefer it over other software I have used due to how well it integrates when browsing in firefox. It does a great job of storing snapshots of web pages and gra

Many thanks for your comment. I have already worked several times in codes within xpi files, but I can not figure out why this time it does't work. What I did is to download the xpi file of zotfile; t

There's no option to change the quotation marks in ZotFile prefs. If you know what you're doing, it's easy to change the code, though:

I was wondering how I can edit the form in which Zotfile extracts the highlights from pdf files. More in details, I would like either to change these quotation marks "" into these «» or just to delete

It's not possible but has been requested before and might be added in the future: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/27

I am running Firefox 16.0.2, Adober Reader 10.1.5, and ZoteroFirefox

Finally, I would like to report what I think is a misfeature and a bug in 2.3Beta. It is related to the functionality of "Zotfile Preferences..."-->"Renaming Rules"-->"Update". A changed naming forma
