Thanks. I do use zotfile and I just double checked, indeed, most of the time it creates a linked file (not always though) but I do need to move the files to various sub folders (depending on what it i

You don't by default, but as I say, ZotFile can automate the conversion to linked files in a folder of your choosing. You don't have to do this manually.

using linked files, you would generally use the ZotFile plugin to automate the conversion from stored files to linked files, while still getting the benefits of saving items and files with the Connec

I mean, then you're just literally not reading it? It could not be clearer about this: Note that this setting does not control where files are stored — only whether linked files within the specified f

Thanks @dstillman. I used ZotFile successfully, have all my PDFs in Dropbox, and new entries are getting their respective PDFs stored in the DropBox folder, so all is well. I still don't understand wh

This discussion was created from comments split from: Zotfile annotations not sent to tablet.

2nd) I would like to install a plugin (ZotFile). Instructions

I should mention that I have a number of add-ons, although I don't know if any of them make any difference. E.g., Zotfile, Zutillo, DOI Manager. I think all are fairly standard add-ons.

I have uninstalled and re-installed Zotero, but the problem remains. The issue arose when Zotero auto-updated to the version without the ability to extract with Zotfile.

It seems as if the hyphen at the end of lines breaking up words is being interpreted as the end of what is highlighted. I never encountered this issue when I extracted notes with Zotfile.

that you sent to us, performs worse than with ZotFile?

The Linked Attachment Base Directory setting needs to be set to whatever external folder you were storing linked files in via ZotFile. We wouldn't have any idea what that is, so it's not something we

attachments to linked files, you'd want to use ZotFile, but that's not something we can help with.

@russmcb: I've already split this off and responded to you here. You should respond here rather than trying to start a new thread for the same issue. But you should first read my response and the docu

I entered the same path in the Tablet Settings in zotfile but when I click on the pdf icon in my Zotero iOS app I get "The attached file is not available in the online library" although it is saved. P

If there is no way to fix this, is there a way to revert to the old version of zotero with the zotfile extract annotations function? I never encountered this problem with the zotfile version of extrac

You would have to disable any settings in ZotFile to convert attachments to linked files, yes. This will then make attachments available in the `Zotero` iOS and desktop app, but not via the web interf

Just to be double-sure, I need to remove all moving and renaming configuration for `Zotfile`, and then `Zotero` will store the attachments in the `~/Zotero/storage` directory and the WebDAV config wil
