Zotero -> zotfile -> mdnotes -> obsidian -> dataview Workflow

[argentum]

@Markus0000 I have replied to your post with my current observations of the beta. For those on this thread, here is what to keep in mind:

@argentum

Please note that if you use the beta the mdnotes workflow is limited to the way Zotero processes your annotations. The annotations are not saved on your PDF, they live in Zotero’s DB, so you won’t be able to extract them with Zotfile (or view them somewhere else). The workaround for now (strike-through is mine):

in desktop in the right hand side if you click “new note” it gives option to select “from annotations” and then it basically enables the entire zotfile/mdnotes workflow. The note is made from the annotations and i can convert to markdown successfully.

The annotations created by Zotero do not contain zotero:// links to your PDF (these were obtained by Zotfile in the stable/previous workflow). If you rely on this, or on custom formatting for differentiating between highlights and notes, I recommend holding off until I update mdnotes.
