I often save files (PDFs) and attach them to my zotero entries using zotfile, which has been working fantastically. However, I've just tried to add a PDF thesis to an item and I've been told I've reac

I haven't put in the time to polish off the feature, but the idea is that I add a new menu entry to "Convert and attach". Zotfile calls an external executable that does something, then pulls in the ou

We'll ignore the spam there. Thanks, that was helpful. I am using zotfile, but it's not really necessary. New workflow:

I'm now using the Zotfile plugin to streamline photography of books and archival documents-- in combination with a tethered camera, it's great.

you may want to look into the Zotfile plugin.

Open as tiled windows the following: firefox, "new folder" and "downloads" ("downloads is my default directory where the zotfile plugin looks for the pdfs I want to add as attachments).

You could also look into Joshua's Zotfile plugin:

How I can make the zotfile options in the right click menu only appear for certain item types?

I will look how it would be possible to "merge" Zoterename functions into Zotfile, i.e. the ability to auto-execute Zotefile's renaming function whenever a file is attached during the creation of a re

.import is not new. Look at http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html. With this option you can decide whether Zotfile creates a link (.import=false) to the renamed file (which means that the file

I desinstalled the previous, modified version of Zotfile before installing the new one.

Indeed, it shouldn't be a difficult implementation, even natively in Zotero. Without knowing Javascript (but C++, unpracticed for years), I managed to modify Zotfile and it works. With basic possibili

It would not be difficult to make Zotfile do this, but it would apply to only files imported by Zotfile.
