SiGi, can you try to create a new firefox profile (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles), just install zotero and zotfile for this profile (don't sync with your Zotero account though)

I should add, by the way, since this thread seems to attract all the zotfile aficionados, that I "discovered" a neat side effect of the way zotfile interacts with the download source directory. Since

Hmm. I just tried on exactly the same setup (on a virtual machine within mac OSX), and the combo of zotfile102, zotero2b4, znc ff3010 works fine. If you only have one ff window open, and you've alr

I'm new to zotfile. I want use it, but I get it not working (zotfile 1.0.2, zotoro 2.0b4, firefox, 3.0.10, windows xp).

i tried to use the zotfile plugin, but I got it until now not working. This problem, I discuss further in an other discussion.

yes, that's it, I think we've had that issue before, it might even be mentioned on the Zotfile page under known issues.

Hi, I am happily using zotfile for a few weeks, and now today the paper clip icon has suddenly disappeared. I see that JM had this problem early. Is there yet any explanation for this? I did try r

I've been using the Zotfile plugin, which takes a little fiddling (well-documented in their instructions) to get to work, but which will pull your most-recently downloaded file out of the download fol

You might want to consider using zotfile:

But maybe this helps: I never have to browse to the "zotfile import folder" because I use a default download folder (which you can set on firefox's main preference tab) so that files always first go t

I'd like to just be able to drag in the PDF link, it's obviously not working as it should, but will give Zotfile a try too, thanks.

There is a nice plugin called zotfile for that. It takes the latest PDF file in your downloads folder and attaches it to the current Zotero item.

Any chance that this could work with drag-and-drop as well? I would like to drag the URL of the PDF from the journal web page onto the citation, and then it gets downloaded, renamed, saved and synced

I may have a look at zotfile when I have time, so thanks for the pointer. But ideally, automatic pdf downloads would just work.

CB, if you're having trouble with Z translators and doing manual PDF download instead, I highly recommend the Zotfile plugin. If you highlight an item in Z and hit the Zotfile button, it grabs the mo

There is a preference called zotfile.import or something similar. Change this to false.

There is no way to rename files on export. If you want files named a certain way, you'd have to rename them using zotfile or another tool.

I selected all of my articles in one folder/collection within zotero and then click the zotfile button. It asks me if I want to rename and link the most recently modified file in that folder that I sp

There are multiple user-created programs to rename PDFs in zotero (e.g. http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html and there are also perl and python scripts).
