  1. Add-ons broken in the latest beta version (BBT, Zutilo, etc.)

    by dstillman · August 30, 2021
    The latest versions of Better BibTeX, Zutilo, and ZotFile should now be fully compatible with Zotero 5.0.97-beta.41. Make sure you've updated to the latest versions of Zotero and all plugins, and star
  2. Annotations cannot be extracted - Aug/2021

    by dstillman · August 30, 2021
    Sorry, we can only help with Zotero, not ZotFile. You're already using the beta, so I would recommend using Zotero, not ZotFile, to add annotations to notes.

    by dstillman · August 30, 2021
    @coyote054, are you using the Zotero beta? (If so, be sure to always say so when posting here.) Most of my answer still stands — you want to add temporary files to Zotero, delete the original, and let

    First, you're describing ZotFile functionality, not Zotero functionality — be sure to mention that when reporting problems here.
  5. [iPad] Syncing Flexcil edited pdfs to Zotero using Onedrive

    by junyeon.rhee · August 30, 2021
    So I installed ZotFile, but I am stuck right now. I watched some of the tips on Youtube and tried "send to tablet" using ZotFile than opening pdfs on Felxcil.

    by dstillman · August 29, 2021
    @syfmark: A deprecation warning that explains the change has been logged since 2017. It's a trivial change. ZotFile just hasn't really been under development for years.

    by syfmark · August 29, 2021
    @dstillman thanks for your work. Because we can't afford the expense of cloud space, we need to use Zotfile to store files in another place. If the new version of Zotero could provide a new API to rep

    by dstillman · August 29, 2021
    We've pushed a new beta build, 5.0.97-beta.40, that fixes ZotFile renaming. (ZotFile is using a function that's been deprecated for four years and was finally removed, but we've restored it for now.)

    by ellie-k · August 29, 2021
    I'm also having problems with Zotfile and BBT after updating beta. Zotfile can't seem to rename files to truncated titles even if that option is selected. I've reverted back to the previous version fo

    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
  11. Annotations, Comments and Tags in Zotero 5.0.97-beta vs ZotFile

    by dml0sc · August 28, 2021
    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
  12. Questions about beta update

    by dstillman · August 28, 2021
    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.
  13. Questions about beta update

    by dml0sc · August 28, 2021
    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

  15. I cannot extract annotations from Zotero,please help

    by bwiernik · August 27, 2021
    It sounds like you are trying to use Zotfile. With the new Zotero PDF reader, Zotfile isn’t necessary—annotations are automatically extracted.

    by dstillman · August 27, 2021
    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
  18. Disable automatic extraction of Table of Contents

    by scandiclevelander · August 26, 2021
    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

  20. [PDF reader] Formatting of extracted annotations

    by dstillman · August 25, 2021
    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.
