What it does

Written by AI from the README

Imports BibTeX into a chosen collection with duplicate checks, and attaches PDFs from a folder by BibTeX key. It runs only from Zotero menus, with no server, network or watchers. This repository holds its Mozilla-signed releases and update file.

For people who collect BibTeX and PDFs outside Zotero and want them in a collection without duplicates or manual attaching.
