    by jcpeckham · June 30, 2022

  6. From 'Linked Attachment Based Directory' to WebDAV

    by dstillman · June 30, 2022
    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

  8. Automatically create parent item when metadata retrieval does not work

    by denlinkd · June 29, 2022

    by crescentonc · June 29, 2022
