  1. Help with ZotFile - Not moving PDFs to designated folder

    by tim820 · April 21, 2023
    @javierieh Zotfile has a preference setting that determines which file types it moves/renames automatically when the Connector downloads a file:
  2. Help with ZotFile - Not moving PDFs to designated folder

    by javierieh · April 20, 2023
    The weird thing is that zotfile works with RSS feeds: if I click the "Add to my library" button on an item, zotfile will detect the snapshot generate and move it to the appropiate folder.
  3. Imported annotations won't go back to tablet.

    by rafaelcardosoport · April 19, 2023
    I'm trying to annotate Zotero PDFs on my Android tablet using Zotfile and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Everything works when I send the zotero to the tablet, I open it and annotate it in Adobe Acrobat Reader
  4. Zotero hangs

    by Viviann.b · April 18, 2023
    I disenabled the add-ons 'zotero PDF preview' and 'ZotFile'.
  5. PDFs (added both manually and by the connector) are going into the wrong directory

    by adamsmith · April 17, 2023
    Moving files is done by ZotFile, that's the preference you'd need to adjust (in addition to the linked file base directory -- but that doesn't move anything, it just tells Zotero where to look across
  6. Different behavior of pasted images in standalone and child notes

    by jesus.esteban · April 17, 2023
    Some results after trying to reproduce this behaviour, hoping that someone could restore this valuable feature of Zotero. (Tested with Zotero 6.0.23, and 6.0.23-beta.9+9a7486e53). Zotfile, Zutilo and
  7. Long-term storage planning: archival into cold storage?

    by tim820 · April 17, 2023
    You could also use Zotfile to move all attachments in those archived collections to linked files (in Zotfile's Custom Location, either locally or a cloud location). They would then no longer be synce
  8. Why do I report an error when using Edge Explorer

  9. Lots of items that have no notes attached show a number in the Notes column

    by dstillman · April 16, 2023
    It's from embedded attachment notes. Most likely you were using the ZotFile plugin to automatically populate those notes with a table of contents.
  10. Remarkable 2 Integration

    by thejoemaya · April 14, 2023
    Now I just export using zotfile and then open through gdrive. All scribbles and annotations are preserved when the item is reuploaded from the tablet folder to its respective places.
  11. Delete duplicated attachments quickly?

    by KangJiefeng · April 13, 2023
    I read some similar post like [Deleting duplicate files in Zotero storage folder in 2018](https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73802/deleting-duplicate-files-in-zotero-storage-folder), [Zotero/Zotfile
  12. How to export old library to Google Drive after setting up Zotero and Google Drive for syncing?

    by adamsmith · April 12, 2023
    ZotFile automatically moves files that are attached to items imported using the connector to the specified custom location. You only need to do this manually (and there's no way to automate this) if y
  13. How to export old library to Google Drive after setting up Zotero and Google Drive for syncing?

    by emenares · April 12, 2023
    I'm wondering if it is possible to have an automated workflow for saving files to Zotero using the Zotero Conector and then having Zotfile renaming and moving them to Google Drive automatically?
  14. How to export old library to Google Drive after setting up Zotero and Google Drive for syncing?

    by tim820 · April 12, 2023
    A simple way to manage Zotfile's moving of PDF attachments in an *existing* large Zotero library to the Zotfile linked Custom Location is to do it in smaller chunks ... select all the A's, then right
  15. How to export old library to Google Drive after setting up Zotero and Google Drive for syncing?

    by adamsmith · April 11, 2023
    But if you want to continue, you'd use ZotFile --> Manage Attachments --> Rename Files in batch to turn all your current attachments into links in Google Drive and then follow the set-up as described.
  16. Zotero file storage options

    by shoshan · April 11, 2023
    1. I'm stuck trying to figure out if with Zotero 6 I still need Zotfile to send PDFs from the Zotero library on my Macbook to PDF Expert on my iPad.

  18. Same Item in multiple Collections---quick collection jump

    by silvanosilvano · April 7, 2023
    I don't know about tags. I read about the nested tags addon, and see the logic behind it, I guess it can replace collections, though I'm not quite convinced. Oh, I also use Zotfile to organize my data
  19. How do I remove group library from local computer without leaving group?

    by borque · April 1, 2023
    Just to make sure I understand, you're saying that deleting the PDFs using my OS/file explorer won't cause them to be deleted for everyone else? If so, that's probably my best option, because all of m
  20. Broken Links, 4000 grey'd out PDFs, I can't make online sync, Zotfile, nor Zutilo fix it

    by tim820 · April 1, 2023
    Then Zotero would know where to *look* for your PDFs on each computer. On the other hand, Zotfile's Custom Location just sets where PDFs get *put*, when downloaded by the Zotero Web Connector.
