Don't copy file pdf (but link) during bibtex import #206

Closed reyman closed 8 years ago

reyman commented 8 years ago

Hi,

Actually, i have already a collection of pdf file specified for each item in my bibtex.

@book{Fogel2006b,
author = {Fogel, David B.},
editor = {Fogel, David B.},
file = {Attachment:/home/reyman/Bureau/tempzotero/Fogel_2006_Evolutionary Computation.pdf:application/pdf},
isbn = {978-0-471-66951-7},
pages = {296},
publisher = {Wiley},
title = {{Evolutionary Computation: Toward a New Philosophy of Machine Intelligence, 3rd Edition}},
year = {2006}
}

I don't want Zotero import all my pdf file in a new cryptic folder of zotero storage when i import my .bib file, so i try to use zotfile capacity to link pdf.

As you can see Zotero copy option is not checked in Zotfile settings. But, it seems it's not possible with Zotfile 0.4.6 version, and Zotero continue to recopy pdf when i import my bibtex.

Is it a bug or this feature is not implemented at this time and/or work only for new item added in zotero?

Importing of bib files is unrelated to zotfile.
