Mark: I can't use Zotfile option to replicate the structure, I sort my file by subject, not by authors or journal (if I could use collection structure it would work, but I've read it's impossible for

What does your folder structure look like? Can you replicate it using the Zotfile renaming and folder system? If not, I'm afraid you're asking for functionality that is not there yet. Zotfile either (

yes, that is true. Currently, there is no way to rename a file without moving it somewhere (zotfile either imports the attachment into zotero OR moves it to a predefined folder - i.e. destination fold

I have already search through Zotfile preferences. The only way that I've found to make Zotfile rename file without moving it to C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\...\zotero\storag

Try the preferences: Gear menu > Zotfile preferences. There you can conveniently set all options.

I'm a new user of Zotfile (and Zotero) and i got some problem relative to import of the pdf file when renaming. I explain the situation:

The text of the user confirmation popup assumes that I "link" and "rename", whereas I do not link but attach, and do not let Zotfile rename the file. If you could rephrase it so that it is agnostic wi

I don't really get your second comment. Can you elaborate? By the way, you can turn of the user confirmation in the zotfile preferences.

That's the reason I keep going on about links. You keep the zotero folder where it is and sync metadata. That gets everyone the citations. To get everyone the attachments you keep the files in one fol

I'm glad you mentioned that alternative, because it is something I was wondering, myself. I just didn't like the idea of having to force everyone to use a single account. I also wondered if it might p

Yeah, option two is going to be hard then, I forgot about that limitation (and yes, I mentioned ZotFile because it's the only way I know of to conveniently create links to files - but that won't work

Looking at ZotFile, it has an option for "Add link to file and move to ..." I don't assume these forums are for ZotFile support, but in regard to option 2, are you aware if this might make it feasible

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitely going to look into the ZotFile add-on as it appears to have a lot of nice functionality (e.g., the renaming conventions).

3. Let "Scan reader" also pop up information when nothing was done (maybe via of those nice Zotfile information popups in the bottom right corner).

I will consider adding another right click menu item although the menu becomes quit populated with zotfile & zotreader stuff.

Conceivably, this would be a third (middle) option in the Zotfile Reader menu: something like "Sync changes". Presumably, this should also work the other way around: if I update my Zotero copy while t
