I have kept papers2 going until recently. Why? It was the only system that let me manage my PDF storage totally openly and how I wanted (like Zotero and Zotfile, I now know!). it was time to switch bu

After much discussion*, it appears that most other Zotfile functionality will be available in Zotero v7 (which is yet to be released; currently in beta) via a new addon, zotero-file. But tablet sync i

This should enable me to manage switching between desktop and iOS. But, based on a quick scan of the other forums, ZotFile may not have the same functionality with Zotero 7?

To be clear, this is in the Tools menu. It's not the similarly named ZotFile context-menu option.

So an argument that those titles used by Zotero are clearly more meaningful than having the title match the actual renamed filename (Zotfile-style) is somewhat tenuous

As to what the "whole" thread was about, it has obviously meandered. The OP's issue was basically why Zotero v7 no longer appeared to reflect what was actually a Zotfile operation (which does not run

Zotero; Mdnotes for Zotero; Zotero Better Notes; ZotFile; and Zutilo Utility for Zotero. I disabled the Add-ons but it has not resolved the issue. I export the file to Obsidian and am unable to add

But I will try turning Zotfile's renaming off and see if the alternative makes sense.

OK, apologies if I've misinterpreted what I've been seeing/what Zotero does (not for the first time !). My use case with Zotfile is ... my use case. Thanks for clarifying the Zotero operations that I'

preprints). If nothing else, the 1000s of Zotfile users who are used to this behaviour will expect it to be preserved in a Zotero-7 compatible version of a Zotfile-emulating addon (ie @polygon 's zot

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this. I cannot recall a single instance where the often-arbitrary download file name applied by a journal publisher was worth preserving. Applying Zotfile re

It is great to see some plugins popping up that try to replace ZotFile's functionality!

Extracting annotations aren't part of current ZotFile, that's a native Zotero feature now.

Zotfile has *always* (over)written the attachment title with the same (renamed) name it has applied to the actual PDF filename.

Zotfile has *always* (over)written the attachment title with the same (renamed) name it has applied to the actual PDF filename. At least for the auto-renaming that Zotfile invokes during PDF download.

Before Zotero 6, if you used ZotFile to extract annotations to notes, it added citations to the note with links back to the PDF. You can get similar (but more flexible) behavior from Zotero 6 by enabl

I also don't understand Tools ----> Addon, works at first but after using renaming of ZotFile multiple times, it broke, it doesn't open anymore.

Thanks, I updated BibTeX, but it didn't work too; it renamed the PDF attachment to %b again. I had to rename it manually from the file metadata right pane. Also, I noticed that the plugin zotxt (to ke

If not, is it possible to revert back to an earlier version of Zotero? This is for me the most important feature of this platform. If it is disabled, will there be any alternatives in version 7 forwa…
