recently, when I updated to #Zotero 7, I missed the pdf file rename patterns of #zotfile.
Now, I found a pattern that works well for me (no dots in "et al", no lengthy "and" between 2 authors, no hyphens, no subtitles).

Sharing it here:

{{ if {{ authors match="[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+" }} }}
{{ authors max="1" suffix=" et al" }}
{{ else }}
{{ authors join=", " }}
{{ endif }}
{{ year prefix=" " suffix=" " }}
{{ title truncate="100" replaceFrom="(\.|:|\?)(.*?)$"}}

In #Zotero7 #Zotfile is not working anymore. You can keep your #workflow by instead using the https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger Plugin. Download it via GoogleChrome via the "Releases" section in the right column.

In #Zotero go to Edit>Settings>General>Filerenaming to specify the new filenames

After loading the Attanger-Plugin go to Edit>Settings>Attanger>Destination Path and set the Folder-Path with all your PDFs as a RootDirectory. The "Subfolder" should be blank.

#Zotero got updated to version 7 recently, but several of the (for me) critical plugins are not compatible (#zotfile, #DOIManager, #StorageScanner, etc.), so I went back to version 6.
If you are using the zotero retoque.re repo, just do:

$ sudo apt install zotero6

#Ubuntu

1/ If you're like me and have been using #Zotfile to send papers from #Zotero to your tablet, you’ve probably noticed that it no longer works with the latest Zotero release due to a lack of updates. While none of the replacement tools work exactly the same, I’ve managed to recreate most of my workflow using #Attanger: https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger (The GitHub page is in Chinese, but the plugin is also available in English). Here's a short explainer, in case this is helpful for others as well.

So I have a working example of a parent item for which I have both a PDF and an ePub.

ePubs are exactly where I thought they'd be, in their own folders in

/Users/ComputerName/Zotero/storage

it's just that the context menu for the parent item reveals where the PDF files' folder is, you can get to the ePub's folder thru the context menu for the ePub file.

#Zotero #Zotero7 #Zotfile

Removing Zotfile.

YMMV considerably depending on how you store files. I use native Zotero file storage NOT linked attachments. I only use Zotfile to rename attachments which is now core functionality.

(If you use linked attachments because you use Dropbox or other cloud storage then there are tiny horizontally oriented 🔗 badges on the file icons.)

#Zotero #Zotero7 #Zotfile

A quien le interesare: por el momento estoy usando el combo de #zotero, #zotfile, #syncthing y #xodo

#AcademicChatter #AcademicPublishing #pdf

Just noticed myself doing an interesting thing:
I opened the pdf on my phone of a paper I wanted to read (synced via #Zotero -> #Zotfile -> #Dropbox), saw that it was published by #eLife, and thought "huh, this will be nicer to read via the website" and clicked the #DOI to read it there instead.

@okerreko Hau (sistema lokaleko fitxategiak estekatzea, erantsi ordez) #ZotFile pluginak ahalbidetzen du. Eta gero bai, fitxategi guzti hoiek gordetzen dituen karpeta #Nextcloud​ekin (edo nahi duzun lainoarekin) sinkronizatzen da.

@jaranta I just discovered (this very year) the beauty of (1) highlight a PDF, (2) "Extract annotations" which is given by #ZotFile, (3) BAM highlights as notes with citation AND link to the precise spot in the PDF. You can then export or copy+paste them anywhere. Makes the whole annotate-and-use-annotations-for-something workflow much more effective and worthwhile. Just in case you live in ignorance as I did!

2/4 #Zotero pour la conservation de la référence, #Zotfile + #Mdnotes pour la conservation des notes et leur export, #Obsidian (ou autre outil de cette nature) pour les liens à faire entre cette nouvelle lecture et le savoir déjà acquis sous forme de fiches

I spent a little time this morning messing around with #zotfile for #zotero so that I can sync PDF articles to my iPad Pro for reading. Anyone have a recommendation on an inexpensive #eink tablet good for PDF reading and notation?

#DernierPouet #Zotero

J'ai trouvé la solution à mon problème d'export de PDF dans des répertoires suivant la hiérarchie des collections ! \o/

On peut faire ça en installant et en utilisant une extension, #ZotFile : http://zotfile.com/

C'est très bien documenté, je teste ça tout de suite ! :)
Merci pour votre aide et votre réactivité <3

Yeah if you want to preserve a file structure for local pdfs you can "link" them to #zotero entries. The #zotfile extension will move your files into a specific folder and link them when renaming them and you can specify sub folder based on a entry data/regular expression
