v1.0

TitleDrop v1.0 is the initial public release of a Zotero plugin for renaming PDF attachments and files using paper titles.

Manual-title fix

Invalid manual titles are rejected before any changes. Parent and attachment titles are saved together after the file rename succeeds; metadata-save failures trigger filename recovery. Incomplete recovery stays in review.

The release remains v1.0. If you installed an earlier v1.0 package, download this XPI and reinstall it manually to receive the fix.

Features

• Automatically process new PDFs and explicitly scan existing personal-library attachments.
• Use parent titles, verified DOI/arXiv identifiers, or local first-page extraction.
• Review uncertain titles and handle unavailable files separately.
• Follow a settings panel, processing dashboard and compact progress widget.
• Pause/resume processing, undo recent renames and export local reports.
• Choose light/dark appearance and hide paper names in dashboard screenshots.

Installation

Download titledrop-1.0.xpi below. In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins → gear → Install Plugin From File…, then select the XPI. Source-code archives are for development.

Requires Zotero 10.0.x; tested on Zotero 10.0.6 for macOS. Windows/Linux and broad recognition accuracy still need validation. No AI account, API key or separate Python runtime is needed. The public XPI includes an update feed for future stable releases through Zotero's plugin updater.

Validation

44 automated tests passed locally and in GitHub Actions, including simulated rename and metadata-save failures. The new failure paths have not yet been exercised in a live Zotero profile. See validation details.
