3 plugins share one ID

Their ID: [email protected]

Why does this happen?

Every Zotero plugin carries an ID, a name tag Zotero uses to tell plugins apart. Zotero plugins are open source, so anyone can copy one, change it and publish their own version. Each plugin has an ID that's meant to be unique, but when people copy a plugin they often keep its ID. That's what happened here: MinerU for Zotero was copied.

What it means for you

  • You can only have one of these installed at a time.
  • Installing one replaces whichever of them you already have.
  • Many share a name, so check which one a file comes from before you install it.
