Release 1.1.0

Changelog

v1.1.0

In this version, we have made the following changes:

1. 🧬 CHANGE!: We change the processing method of duplicate items.

   Previously, we use the Trash method to process duplicate items, i.e., delete the duplicate items.
   However, this method will cause the loss of some information of the duplicate items.

   • E.g., notes, tags, collections, attachments.

   In this version, we use the Merge method to process duplicate items.
   This method will copy all the aforementioned information to the retained item, and then delete the duplicate items.

   • NOTE: If you are using ZotFile, the Merge method will copy the file link of the duplicate items to the retained item.
   • However, users relying on Zotero's default attachment storage may encounter duplication issues if the newly imported item contains attachments.
     • This is a known potential problem in Zotero, as detailed in Zotero Documentation - Duplicate Detection.
