keep the library structure

[laurentperrinet]

I managed to import my references from Zotero - but I am missing the directory structure that I have build over the years...

Any way to retrieve that information to buils my papis library?

(I am using the latest git code)

Unfortunately, papis mostly keeps a flat directory structure and allows tagging (and querying tags) to group documents together. When importing from Zotero metadata, the tags are saved in a tags field and the collections in a collections field.

You can then query those using e.g. for the papis db backend

papis list -a 'tags:<some-tag>'
papis list -a 'collections:<some-collection>'

You can check out the documentation for more information: https://papis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/database_structure.html.
