I use Zotero 2.1.1 on FF3.6 in Win XP SP3, with Zotfile 1.5.5.

After upgrading to zotero 2.1, the zotfile entries appear twice in the context menu for me (doesn't happen in the tab view).

Hi, as far as I know zotfile is using the the journal abbreviations you provided in zotero under 'Journal Abbr'. Accordingly, we can define your own abbreviation but they are not automatically applied

I've been using Zotfile for the last weeks, to automatically rename PDFs to something useful (using metadata). Thanks Joscha for developing this great time-saving tool.

OK, so, having taken the plunge, I'm now trying to figure out how to use the iPad to read and annotate PDFs. I'd hoped that there would by now be a good reference management program that also include

I can only have this report ID (760519155), but it seems related to the zotfile plugin, rather than the problem I have here...

I couldn't get this to work but I'm a hack. I futzed around with the preferences in Zotero_win32/xulrunner/defaults/pref/xulrunner.js and I tried dropping the zotfile-1.5.5-fx.xpi file into Zotero_

Can you use the error console to see whether any errors occur. Just go to Tools->Error Console, select the Errors pane and click clear. Use zotfile afterwards and see whether anything comes up. Not su

Looks like this might be a nice addition to Zotfile if enough people are interested in it (or, more to the point, if Joscha is interested in it.)

I think that the way to handle something like this is via the existing unique id system for Zotero items -- have Zotfile (or something like it) export the file with a guaranteed unique name, like "Joh
