RAG Assistant for Zotero v0.4.3

Name Change & Migration Required

This release includes a name change to comply with Zotero's trademark requirements. The application is now called "RAG Assistant for Zotero" instead of "ZoteroRAG".

Why This Change?

Zotero's trademark guidelines require third-party apps to use the format "for Zotero" rather than starting with "Zotero". We've updated:

  • Application display name → "RAG Assistant for Zotero"
  • Executable name → rag-assistant
  • Package name → rag-assistant
  • Repository → RAG-Assistant-for-Zotero

Migration Steps (One-Time Only)

Your profiles, vector databases, and settings will be preserved if you run these commands before launching the new version:

macOS

# Close the app if running, then rename the data folder:
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/ZoteroRAG ~/Library/Application\ Support/RAG\ Assistant

Windows

# Close the app if running, then rename the data folder:
# Open PowerShell and run:
Rename-Item -Path "$env:APPDATA\ZoteroRAG" -NewName "RAG Assistant"

Or using Command Prompt (cmd.exe):

rename "%APPDATA%\ZoteroRAG" "RAG Assistant"

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/AppImage)

# Close the app if running, then rename the config folder:
mv ~/.config/zotero-rag-assistant ~/.config/rag-assistant

What Happens If I Don't Migrate?

If you skip the migration and launch v0.4.3 directly:

  • The app will create a new data folder with the new name
  • You'll see empty profiles and need to re-index your library
  • Your old data will remain in the old folder (safe to manually migrate later)
