Yesterday， I also get an update about zotero beta 39. I also find my zotfile add-ons broken. It cannot rename files and convert symbol links, I also revert to the previous version. Probably just like

I used to extract these snippets (as well as the notes added by me on the PDF) via ZotFile. This produced a note called "Extracted Annotations" with a link to the PDF that would open in a preferred PD

2) ZotFile doesn't know anything about Zotero annotations, but Zotero handles adding annotations to notes, so ZotFile's annotation functionality is no longer necessary with the new PDF reader.

Thank you for this update. I have a couple of questions: with this version (1) I am unable to generate Better BibTeX citation keys; (2) the extracted annotations via the ZotFile Plugin don't include t

[Admin note: The latest versions of Better BibTeX, Zutilo, and ZotFile are now compatible with Zotero 5.0.97-beta.41. Make sure you've updated to the latest versions of Zotero and all plugins, and sta

It sounds like you are trying to use Zotfile. With the new Zotero PDF reader, Zotfile isn’t necessary—annotations are automatically extracted.

on your disk, you can use linked files with the ZotFile plugin, but the moving and organizing is done for you — you wouldn't add from that location yourself.

It's a Zotfile setting. You can only disable it via hidden pref: zotfile.pdfOutline.getToc

As far as I can tell, I don't think it's a Zotfile setting, as the same thing happens for papers in a shared group library where the files are stored in Zotero storage, not stored in my OneDrive and

and (2) I wanted to allow automatic renaming via Zotfile which would use my short forms (like "JACS") in the file titles: thus eg

Don't focus on the specific technical mechanics of the ZotFile options — most of these wouldn't make sense in the new note editor, so what matters is the actual use case.

I used ZotFile to extract the annotations from PDFs and to fine-tune the formatting of the extracted text via some hidden preferences (such as .pdfExtraction.NoteHtmlTagStart, formatNoteTitle, formatA

I have a question: can this be used with Zotfile where the files are linked to a dropbox folder?

I had Zotero (5.0.97-beta.33) + Zotfile set up across one desktop PC and a tablet, all working nicely. I then tried to add a laptop into the setup, I thought I'd mirrored all the right settings and pr

I'm following some recipes that reference Zotfile for academic study and had presumed pdf's to be opened from the Base Directory ... but I feel like I'm missing a piece whereby the pdf gets associate

Regardless of whether ZotFile is disabled, it's ZotFile if you're referring to "links". Zotero doesn't create links — it has built-in functionality ("Go to Page") to go back to an annotation from a no

This isn't ZotFile - that is disabled.

First, it sounds like you may be referring to links created by ZotFile. Zotero has its own mechanism for adding annotations to notes, and we recommend using that going forward.

Yes, sorry for making it not right in my reply. It is Zotfile plugin in Obsidian.

Just to clarify, the base directory doesn't determine where things get saved — Zotero always saves stored files to the data directory. It's the ZotFile plugin that converts saved files to linked files
