  1. Broken Links, 4000 grey'd out PDFs, I can't make online sync, Zotfile, nor Zutilo fix it

    by dstillman · April 1, 2023
    Do I understand correctly that because I moved them using Zotfile, they are not actually backed up by Zotero, and so paying for unlimited storage isn't helping me?
  2. Broken Links, 4000 grey'd out PDFs, I can't make online sync, Zotfile, nor Zutilo fix it

    by Markingham · April 1, 2023
    My PDF all lived in a single Onedrive folder where I had moved them using Zotfile. I had paid for unlimited Zotero storage, which was a lot for my student budget. Do I understand correctly that becaus
  3. Zotfile feature suggestion: Skip HTML tags

    by qqbb · March 31, 2023
    Yes, this function is currently missing in ZotFile. I think it's implemented now in Zotero's own renaming function, but if you need to use ZotFile, you can get something that should work in most cases
  4. Zotfile feature suggestion: Skip HTML tags

    by Bruce Rusk · March 31, 2023
    This is a small quality of life suggestion for Zotfile: I have a lot of records with some HTML markup in the Title field (https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/rich_text_bibliography). Zotfile includes th

    by HelensGene · March 30, 2023
    Thanks for the information on Zotfile and the use of stored files.

    (Though using manual linked files for Word documents is fine, and can be preferable. We don't generally recommend storing actively edited Word documents as stored files, since changes on multiple comp
  7. Linked files being moved to Stored, but I don't want them there

    by dstillman · March 30, 2023
    Again, Zotero always and only saves stored files for regular saves. ZotFile converts saved stored files to linked files, but that has nothing to do with Zotero itself. I have Word documents saved in m
  8. Linked files being moved to Stored, but I don't want them there

    by HelensGene · March 30, 2023
    Prior to a couple of days ago, it was not saving the attached files to the Zotero/Stored subfile. It was saving the PDF images I was adding to Zotero to the location I had indicated in Zotfile.
  9. Linked files being moved to Stored, but I don't want them there

    by dstillman · March 30, 2023
    Zotero itself always saves stored files unless you manually create a link to a file. Any automatic conversion to linked files would be a ZotFile setting, and that's not something we can help with (tho

    rather than to the path I have noted in Zotero/Zotfile. Whenever I open an existing file, a new storage file is created and any modifications are made in the Storage file, not in the one in my origi
  11. Folder and File Management

    by Catwth · March 29, 2023
    Hi Adam. Yes the browser connector. ZotFile renames and moves the file to a single folder I can specify in the setting for ZotFile which essentially means all pdfs end up in a single folder. The prefe
  12. Folder and File Management

    by adamsmith · March 28, 2023
    I don't quite understand why using ZotFile to move the file, including collection names, wouldn't work for your setup?
  13. Folder and File Management

    by Catwth · March 28, 2023
    Hi, I have used Zotero for years and recently spent several weeks reading tons of blogs and instructions to try to find what I think is missing in functionality. I have tried pretty much all the stora
  14. Relative path problem

    by MartinFisher · March 23, 2023
    Thank you very much (the only third party plugin I use is Zotfile) . When you refer to 'unsetting th elinked attachment base directory' do you mean set it to absolute paths, and then reset it to P:\Li
  15. Attachments show up missing part filename after moving with Zotfile

    by Ashmv · March 23, 2023
    I am using zotfile to move attachments from the default zotero storage folder to a folder that is on cloud storage (to access from multiple devices).
  16. Import pdf as shortcut

    by adamsmith · March 20, 2023
    That's a Zotfile feature, nothing to do with Zotero. In Zotero's PDF viewer, the hyperlinked ToC is always available where bookmarks exist

  19. Shortcut for rename and move zotfile?

    by tim820 · March 18, 2023
    The Zutilo addon can apparently add a shortcut for Zotfile's 'Move and rename attachments'. Set under Tools\Zutilo Preferences\Shortcuts.
  20. Search for items which have non 'linked' files?

    by r33s · March 18, 2023
    Apologies for asking two questions close to each other. I'm trying to identify items which have stored pdf's and not 'linked' pdfs which have been done by zotfile. Once identified I can run zotfile 'r
