Mac Zotero Default Library Path
Zotfile is a Zotero plugin to manage your attachments: automatically rename, move, and attach PDFs (or other files) to Zotero items, sync PDFs from your Zotero library to your (mobile) PDF reader (e.g. An iPad, Android tablet, etc.) and extract annotations from PDF files. ★ Attach New Files to Zotero Items. Your entire Zotero library is stored, by default, in the 'zotero' directory of your Firefox profle. Inside that directory are two crucial elements: the zotero.sqlite fle and the 'storage' folder. The zotero.sqlite fle contains the majority of your data: item information, notes, tags, etc.
This Zotero plugin adds the functionality to perform an OCR for selected PDFs in Zotero. Currently tailored for the use with Tesseract OCR. Mac photos stuck on closing library.
