Goto annotation in pdf

This is not really a new feature but with two recent changes in Zotero (see this and this pull request), it became much more useful! Simply click on the link that is part of your extracted annotations, and zotfile will open the pdf on the page with the annotation. The feature now works on Windows as well (thanks to aurimasv) and I have added support for Skim on Mac. Check out the documentation for some more details.

Improved extraction of annotation

This version includes three improvements for the extraction of annotations. First, the extraction is now based on the most recent pdf.js version (here is my fork with the modified version of pdf.js used in zotfile). With this update, zotfile should work with more pdfs. Second, the extraction is now about 40-60% faster (depending on the pdf) thanks to some improvements in the extraction code. Third, the extraction now runs in the background so that Zotero is not blocked while annotations are extracted.

Improved information windows

Improved renaming function (avoids re-indexing of linked attachments)

New wildcards for editors (%d, %D, %L, %l)

Fix bug with unnecessary suffix after multiple renames of same file
