I was wondering if anyone could give me any guidance. I have installed Zotfile, made relevant notes/highlights and extracted annotations into a note in Zotero. But I cannot export that zotero note to markdown, no option is available upon right click.
Is there something I have done in the install? I have removed and re-installed but same issue.
It would be great to have notes auto exported from Zotero and auto-imported in Obsidian. Anyone have some ideas on how to do this? I do not want to go through the entire process of exporting, saving in a location, then opening them and copying them into obsidian.
Why don’t you export directly to your obsidian vault? (That’s what I do). No way to automate the extraction, that I know of, but you can for sure reduce the number of steps so it’s barely noticeable.
I’m having an issue that is just baffling me. I’ve just set up mdnotes along with Cat’s suggested workflow, and it works except that the exported annotations don’t include blockquotes. I’m running the current beta of Zotero and the dev build of Zotfile, which I figure might be causing the issue, but if there’s something I’m missing in the config I’d really appreciate the help.
I managed to get zotfile to extract notes by color in Zotero via Manage Attachments > Extract Annotations following your post, yet I can’t make it work via Mdnotes > Extract to markdown. Nothing happens.
Using last zotero version in windows 10.
Plus, how should I set the default folder directory to export the markdown files for it to be the same folder the pdf is set in?
Hi, I managed to get it to work! It was my fault by not understanding that I should first use Zotfile to get the notes inside Zotero via Extract Annotations and then use mdNotes to create the Batch Export. I was assuming the second already covered the first action, my bad.
Regarding the folder directory thing, I opened an issue in Github as you requested.
First of all, THANK YOU for this wonderful plugin!
I’m not sure if this is the place to ask for new features (sorry if not), but would it be possible to set different paths for the mdnotes generated files? It would be marvellous if I could automatically send the metadata and extracted annotations to a folder separate from my literature notes folder.
Happy to hear it’s been useful for you! For feature requests, it’s usually best to add them as GitHub issues! I’m almost sure someone asked for something similar, but if you add a comment it lets me gauge interest and take it into account in the way I prioritise requests!
