There are many alternatives out there by now. If you are an Obsidian user, I recommend migrating to the [Zotero Integration plugin](https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration).\n\u003e Good luck out there!\n\nA Zotero plugin to export item metadata and notes as markdown files.\n\n## Features\n\nRight now the menu is not context-aware, so read below to see what has to be selected for the menu to correctly create the files. Note that the output of the following options depends on your [configuration](docs/getting-started/configuration.md), the options below apply for the default settings:\n\n| What you want to do                                                       | What to select | Menu |\n| ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------- | --|\n| [Export Zotero item metadata file](./docs/getting-started/README.md#export-a-zotero-item-or-notes-to-markdown) | Zotero Item  | `Export to markdown` |\n| [Export Zotero notes to markdown](./docs/getting-started/README.md#export-a-zotero-item-or-notes-to-markdown) | Zotero Note    | `Export to markdown` |\n| [Create a file for your own notes](./docs/getting-started/README.md#create-a-file-for-your-own-notes) | Zotero Item    | `Create mdnotes file` |\n| [Batch export all of the above](http://argenos.github.io/zotero-mdnotes/#batch-export-all-metadata-and-notes) | Zotero Item    | `Batch export to markdown` |\n\nWith the exception of `Create mdnotes file` (for your own notes), you will be asked to choose a path. The file name(s) are automatically chosen based on the naming convention described in the section for each menu.\n\nTo access the menu right-click on an item or note:  \n\n\u003cimg src=\"docs/docs/images/mdnotes-batch.gif\" alt=\"mdnotes-batch\" style=\"zoom:80%;\" /\u003e\n\n## Requirements\n\nTested with Zotero v5.0.89 in Ubuntu 18.04.\n\nIt is highly recommended that you have the following plugins installed:\n\n* [Zotfile](http://zotfile.com/)\n* [BetterBibtex](https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/)\n\nI have not tested without them, so I can't guarantee nothing will break.\n\n## Installation\n\nYou can install the plugin in Zotero as described [here](https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins):\n\n\u003e To install a plugin in Zotero, download its `.xpi` file to your computer. Then, in Zotero, click “Tools → Add-Ons”, then drag the `.xpi` for the plugin onto the Add-Ons window that opens\n\nYou can grab the latest version of `zotero-mdnotes` [here](https://github.com/argenos/zotero-mdnotes/releases/latest).\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\nThis plugin is based and was inspired by [zotero-roam-export](https://github.com/melat0nin/zotero-roam-export/).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fargenos%2Fzotero-mdnotes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fargenos%2Fzotero-mdnotes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fargenos%2Fzotero-mdnotes/lists"}
