Thanks again. But I'm afraid this won't work with zotfile installed.

- ZotFile

For the next version, we've blocked the import from proceeding if ZotFile is enabled. Thanks to both of you for the reports.

+1 This would be fantastic. Copying the extracted comments to Word and then being able to Ctrl+Click to jump right into the original document was a very helpful part of my prior ZotFile workflow for a

You can disable automatic renaming from the General pane of the preferences, though we recommend letting your computer do this for you — it's a waste of time to name every file manually. If you want t

This works if you save an item, e.g. via its abstract page, and Zotero attaches the PDF. It does *not* work if you save the PDF directly and then Zotero finds its metadata afterwards (which wouldn't b

I've tried to set up Zotero and Zotfile to sync locally to my iCloud by specifying the base directory under the 'Files and Folders' settings of Zotero and matching it with the 'Location of files' in Z

I use folders in Zotero that I would like to maintain in my storage file that I am using with zotfile. I have checked 'create subfolders from Zotero collections' but when I move files to the tablet us

If you’re using Zotfile, it has a wildcard for last author that can be used for renaming PDFs.

I'm not even sure what this is referring to. If this is about ZotFile, we don't have anything to do with that, and ZotFile is mostly unmaintained at this point.

The import has now worked. I deleted Zotfile, deleted my library, and re-ran the import. It took a couple of goes - it kept just hanging midway through and CPU usage went through the roof, but then wh

Thanks. I worked around the diacritic file name reindexing bug by first setting Zotfile's advanced option to remove diacritics from filenames when move/renaming. However reindexing still sometimes fai

I think we're going to have to just block the import with an error if ZotFile is enabled, since this creates an awful, confusing import experience.

Oh, wait, sorry — Zotero 6 will create those if there's no PDF available. ZotFile moving the file during the import process probably causes it to think the file isn't available, because ZotFile actual

@rgm43: Well, and as I told Monika — if you're seeing "Extracted Annotations" after a Mendeley import, that would actually be from Zotero 5's Mendeley importer, not ZotFile. Zotero 6 doesn't create th

ZotFile is a third-party plugin, so our documentation obviously wouldn't mention it, any more than it would mention other plugins that might do things we have no control over. We explain exactly how t

I'm a new Zotero user (one of 1000s jumping ship from Mendeley!) using macOS Catalina. Yesterday I downloaded Zotero 6 and Zotfile, and set up Zotfile to rename & save pdfs in a Dropbox folder (I have

I see the question in many places and the answer has been to use Zotfile. But in Zotero's internal PDF reader having a way to specify the name or meaning of the annotation colors would be fantastic.

ZotFile doesn't do annotation extractions anymore because that's now built into Zotero. You'd use Zotfile to have more finely-tuned renaming rules for files and/or to move&link your Files instead of s
