Auto-renaming files via Zotfile
I have been using the Zotfile add-in to rename and refile my attachments so that I can sync via Dropbox.I think this has been working generally well, but I find that I have to manually select each imported PDF and right-click through the menu to select to Manage Attachments > Rename and Move.
Is there a setting where this can be executed automatically on dragging and dropping a PDF into my library (or on to a particular reference to which I am adding the full text later)?
It feels like I am missing something, but every combination of settings seems to require this same manual process to actually rename and store the file in Dropbox.
Thanks for any insights,
Scott

188BET靠谱吗Zotfile renaming normally occurs automatically when PDFs are downloaded via the web connector, if the file type is NOT excluded in Zotfile's Advanced Settings (which would also prevent the PDF move), and Use Zotero to Rename is NOT set in Zotfile's Renaming Rules, and you have a valid renaming format set there.When dragging or using Attach New File, renaming is also usually automatic, unless you have the PDF open in an external viewer (which prevents writing to it, ie renaming).
This isn't the end of the world, but adds just one more step (and one I don't always remember because I don't have to do it for every PDF).
188BET靠谱吗You could also save direct to your Custom Location folder from the email, and then use drag and drop while holding down Ctrl+Shift (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Option (Mac) to create a link to the file in Zotero (you just don't get Zotfile's renaming then).
