ZotMoov
A simple plugin for Zotero 7 that mooves attachments and links them.
ZotMoov can automatically move added attachments into the directory of your choosing, or you can opt to manually move and link each file into their own respective directory.
Installation
Download the latest release here
Note that you have to right click the .xpi and save link as.
To set up with 3rd party syncing services, set the Linked Attachment Base Directory to the synced folder.
Then point ZotMoov to that same folder.
If you want to moove already existing files to the ZotMoov directory, you can right click them and use the appropriate menu item.
By default ZotMoov will move and link your files. You can change the dropdown menu option to copy for ZotMoov to just make a back-up of your added files in the specified directory.
You can enable the Collection Subdirectory option for ZotMoov to automatically create and place your file in a folder that corresponds to its collection. Note that each file is only placed in one directory — files in multiple collections will not appear in multiple folders!
FAQ
File Renaming
I recommend using the automatic file renaming functionality included in Zotero 7. It has support for custom patterns. You will have to enable “Rename linked files” from the General pane of the Zotero settings.
Automatic Subdirectories
ZotMoov has an option to automatically move files into a subdirectory that corresponds to its collection. Note that each file is only placed in one directory — files in multiple collections will not appear in multiple folders!
