That's the point, though — there's no duplication of the file no matter how you do this, because Zotero/ZotFile handle storing the file for you. You just save it from the browser by clicking the Zoter

Thanks. I will try to adapt Zotero to my own workflow using Zotfile. I still have to figure out how to avoid the duplication of the file. My workflow is not negotiable for several reasons.

With Zotero, the standard workflow is to save to Zotero from the browser with the Zotero Connector — ideally on article pages with metadata instead of saving PDFs directly. Zotero then renames and man

No, I happen to use the Zotero Theme, Zotero PDF Preview, Zotero PDF Translate, Zotero Tag, Zotfile, and Zutilo plugins.

You can look at ZotFile to do the moving automatically, yes.

Another option I am thinking of is to export all of the PDFs from the Paperpile folders into one master folder and then import use Zotfile to manage that. Is that an option?

The latest version of Zotero will automatically offer to relink linked files within your configured Linked Attachment Base Directory. ZotFile settings just determine where linked files are created.

I have been using Zotero together with [ZotFile](http://zotfile.com/) to keep the PDFs separated from the database in an older computer. Now I moved to a new computer and have Zotero running. After lo

I don't think ZotFile is actively developed, so this is unlikely to happen, honestly.

Currently, Zotfile has different wildcards ( http://zotfile.com/index.html#renaming-rules ) including the wildcard for a year (%y). It's natural and expected that such a field would exist.

I upgraded laptops, and installed Zotero standalone correctly and sync'd/connected to my data. All seems well from Zotero's standpoint. But when I installed Zotfile on this new machine, and pointed it

I tried to rename PDFs using Zotfile and nothing seems to be work. I've tried removing/uninstalling and adding it again but nothing.

So as it turns out, removing 'pdf' from Zotfile's list of recognised file types also prevents Zotfile's renaming rules from working on a PDF, even when triggered manually. This is unfortunate, because

Yes, that attachment-filetype-specific behaviour can be modified in Zotfile Preferences. Zotfile's *default* behaviour when installed is to do the opposite to what you want, only move PDF attachment f

Does Zotfile, or another similar plugin, have the ability to set different behaviours for different filetypes? I'd like to be able to rename PDFs and upload them to Zotero storage, but convert video a

The delitem addon (right click) will delete the selected linked PDF attachment file from your Zotfile linked folder location (since Zotero doesn't do that).

I would like to copy a collection from My Library to a Group Library. I have an unlimited storage space subscription. I have tried two ways both do not work. I am using Win10, Zotero 6.0.20. Add-ons:
