In #Zotero7 #Zotfile is not working anymore. You can keep your #workflow by instead using the https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger Plugin. Download it via GoogleChrome via the "Releases" section in the right column.
In #Zotero go to Edit>Settings>General>Filerenaming to specify the new filenames
After loading the Attanger-Plugin go to Edit>Settings>Attanger>Destination Path and set the Folder-Path with all your PDFs as a RootDirectory. The "Subfolder" should be blank.
Have you tried the new #Zotero ( #Zotero7 ) and what do you think?
Comments welcome on your favourite or hated things about it!
#Zotero7: #Zotero, redesigned, the biggest update in Zotero’s 18-year history and a major leap forward in design, performance, and functionality.

If you're an #academic or just publish things, Zotero is an amazing #Free and #opensource #ciationmanger that will whip up your #ciation or #bibliography with ease. Highly recommend this application if you are in #PhDlife or working on your Masters or #PhD #Dissertation!
So I have a working example of a parent item for which I have both a PDF and an ePub.
ePubs are exactly where I thought they'd be, in their own folders in
/Users/ComputerName/Zotero/storage
it's just that the context menu for the parent item reveals where the PDF files' folder is, you can get to the ePub's folder thru the context menu for the ePub file.
Removing Zotfile.
YMMV considerably depending on how you store files. I use native Zotero file storage NOT linked attachments. I only use Zotfile to rename attachments which is now core functionality.
(If you use linked attachments because you use Dropbox or other cloud storage then there are tiny horizontally oriented 🔗 badges on the file icons.)
