Previous changes in 3.0

• Improved extraction of annotation

  The extraction of pdf annotations using pdf.js works much better now! Zotfile uses a modified version of the updated pdf.js library (here is the fork). The new version supports more pdf standards, detects spaces more precisely, sorts annotations in the correct order, and future updates to new versions of pdf.js are relatively easy. There are still pdfs that won't work though! Some pdf standards are not yet supported and if you can not copy & paste text from the pdf file using your pdf viewer (e.g. Preview), it's unlikely that zotfile can help.

• Goto annotation in pdf

  The extracted annotations now include a link that opens the pdf file on the corresponding page. For the extracted annotation "This is my text" (zotfile 2013: 4), zotfile 2013: 4 is a link that opens the pdf on the page with the annotation. Currently, this feature only works from reports (right-click on item and select generate report) but future version of Zotero might be able to open the links directly from the note (see discussion here and here)

• Tablet feature: Restrict saved search for tablet files to sub-folders

  You can now right-click on the two saved searches for tablet files and restrict them to one of your custom sub-folders. This is very helpful to quickly see the files that are in a specific sub-folder.

• Tablet feature: Support of colored tags in Zotero 4

  Zotfile now tags the parent item when an attachment is send to the tablet so that you can easily see which items are on the tablet. Simply assign colors to the two tablet tags (_tablet and _tablet_modified). But DO NOT manually add the tag to items or attachments (also not using the keys for colored tags).

• Italian localization (thanks to Roberto Caviglia)

• Remove empty sub-folders when getting files from tablet

• Fix alert window (headline was missing in Zotero 4)

• Fix automatic renaming option "Only ask if..."

• Fix for zotfile item menu on Zotero as a tab
