    by MushtaqBilal · November 8, 2022
    Since we can extract annotations from PDFs into Word/Google Docs directly, why would one use Zotfile?

  4. Zotfile: should bulk moving of stored files not reduce the size of the storage folder ?

    by tim820 · November 5, 2022
    FWIW I don't recall Zotfile ever failing to move a PDF for me. It's worked fine for ~3500 PDFs.
  5. Zotfile: should bulk moving of stored files not reduce the size of the storage folder ?

    by adamsmith · November 5, 2022
    I'm pretty sure there have been reports of ZotFile not removing the linked files from the storage folder under some conditions. If that's what's happening (and it'd certainly explain the lack of drop

    by dstillman · November 4, 2022
    The count includes embedded notes for attachment items (e.g., a table of contents added by the ZotFile plugin).
  8. File renaming customization

    by adamsmith · November 4, 2022
    Not with Zotero's own renaming, but ZotFile (which you can use *just* to rename files without any of its other features) has that option, see the last of the examples in the documentation.

    by tim820 · November 4, 2022
    Whenever I have done bulk moves with Zotfile, I have done it in smaller chunks. You have a lot of items and attachments. So for example sort your library alphabetically by title or creator, and then s

  13. Zotfile: should bulk moving of stored files not reduce the size of the storage folder ?

    by fschuman · November 3, 2022
    To my understanding, Zotfile can bulk his process by selecting all items and 'rename and move' them. If I do this, Zotero runs at 100%+ for a long time, suggesting that it's doing something.
  14. Best way to annotate pdf files on android mobile?

    by claude70 · November 3, 2022
    I do something very similar to Dellu, but I use Box instead of Dropbox / Dropsync. I add a folder on Box to Zotfile's Tablet Settings, and when I want to read a PDF on my tablet I right-click on it in

  19. send to tablet while keeping zotero's annotations

    by dstillman · November 1, 2022
    ZotFile's Send to Tablet feature was never updated to add support for Zotero 6 annotations, so it just deletes them.

    If a person is using zotfile to manage pdfs in Dropbox or GoogleDrive, they will not be able to enjoy 100% of the app's functionality.
