Zotfile not moving files?

violawiegand

Hello,
188BET靠谱吗I recently set up Zotero (5.0.91) on my new MacBook and I am now having difficulty using Zotfile (5.0.16): when I add an article via the Zotero Chrome extension, on my new Macbook the file gets saved to my Zotero data folder, instead of my own PDF folder where I would like it to go.
188BET靠谱吗This works fine on my old machine, which still uses Zotero 5.0.90.

188BET靠谱吗I don't know whether the problem is Zotero or Zotfile...

Here are the details:

new Macbook (macOS 10.15.7)
188BET靠谱吗* Zotero 5.0.91
* Zotfile 5.0.16
188BET靠谱吗* PDF wrongly saving to Zotero data folder

old Macbook (macOS 10.15.6)
188BET靠谱吗* Zotero 5.0.90
* Zotfile 5.0.16
* PDF correctly moved to my preferred location

Cheers!

If you 188BET靠谱吗move your Zotero library to a different computer, you might also want to keep a copy of your profile directory.Your preferences are saved to the 'prefs.js' file.For more on this, see here:

It might be useful to check your ZotFile preferences in the Config Editorby entering extensions.zotfile.*in the search bar.For troubleshooting related ZotFile issues, see also here.

Thank you for these links, very useful!I made the silly mistake of not adjusting any of the ZotFile preferences for folder my locations...I had forgotten all the stuff I had set up years ago!
