1/ If you're like me and have been using #Zotfile to send papers from #Zotero to your tablet, you’ve probably noticed that it no longer works with the latest Zotero release due to a lack of updates. While none of the replacement tools work exactly the same, I’ve managed to recreate most of my workflow using #Attanger: https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger (The GitHub page is in Chinese, but the plugin is also available in English). Here's a short explainer, in case this is helpful for others as well.

2/ Step 1: When you download a paper with Attanger installed, it automatically moves the file to your designated literature folder.

Step 2: In Zotero, create two key collections: "to_read" for papers you plan to read and "finished" for those you’ve completed.

Step 3: Add new papers that you intend to read to the "to_read" collection.

Step 4: Use Attanger to move these papers to a subfolder linked with Google Drive. This subfolder syncs with your tablet, so you can easily access and read your papers.

Step 5: After reading and annotating the papers on your tablet, they sync back to the Google Drive folder.

Step 6: In Zotero, use the "Add notes from annotations" feature to extract and organize your notes directly within your library.

Step 7: Once a paper is fully read and annotated, move it to the "finished" collection.

Step 8: Finally, use Attanger again on this collection to move the papers to a different subfolder that doesn’t sync with your tablet, keeping your active reading list uncluttered.
