I've updated the README, but the plugin page seems OK. You can edit the wiki page, feel free to add what you think is missing.
@retorquere Many thanks for your kindness!
You're welcome.
I tested the 5.0.4 version of the plugin and it woks very very good! It not only add new broken links into the #broken, but also remove the fixed& healthy link from the tag.
On the page of "search in github", I think that the description could be updated but not the simple words of "zotero-storage-scanner" . For green-hands, they could be confused by the description and may ignore the plugin. For the user who really need the function, a indicative entrance of the plugin is missing.
Take myself as an example. I firstly notice the problem, then I search a plugin to solve the issue on the webpage of https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins
Unfortunately, no plugin could help me. And at that time I'm just a green-hand in Zotero. What's worse, I really know a little about the python and the programming. I even don't know the website of github.
Then I have to directly put forward the problem in the forum of Zotero, irritating dstillman for my hot words. But for a green-hand of Computer programming, the only thing I could do is to seek for help from professionals, though the methods I took is vain.
From the discussions in forum I knew the github. After that, I learn the programming and Python by myself. Then I found the plugin in the github. It's too hard for us to find it, oh no.
Fortunately, this plugin solves my issue perfectly.But there should be a lot of green-hands waiting for the solution. As I mentioned in my post, I want Zotero to be better. So I hope that the plugins which could still be updated can be displayed on the github and on the webpage of https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins
Given what you describe, you are in a much better position to say what information could have brought a green-hand to the plugin. I can't see with "beginners eyes", so I don't see what's missing. As I said, feel free to edit the scanner entry on the plugin page.
I'm very appreciate that the add-on could be developed to remove the broken & duplicate attachment links as it has been my trouble(see https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/69560/is-there-a-buildin-function-of-find-broken-duplicate-attachment-links#latest) However, the add-on needs more extensive publicity to let other users to solve the problem as happened on me. The introduction of the add-on should be more than "zotero-storage-scanner". The slogan could be
And the README.md could be modified as
Another suggestion is to update this plugin on the webpage of https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins The plugin deserves to act as an essential add-on in the Zotero. It solves the problem of hard disk capacity or net disk capacity by releasing the space of duplicated attachments. Also the user could know the broken attachments and the "broken bibliography" so that they could update them as soon as they get the download permission of the latest PDF.
