maybe as mode=3 or with mode=2 and create copy of annotated file option?

"I want to keep two copies of each file, the original file and an annotated copy. What's the best way to achieve this? Since I'm using the foreground mode, "Save copy of annotated file with suffix" isn't useful to me.

It would be very nice if Zotfile could copy files instead of moving them, with an optional prefix/suffix added to the filename, and add a link to the copied file in Zotero. Something like a hybrid between the current foreground and background mode; I don't mind if it's a hidden setting. This way I can have my working (annotated) copy on all my devices and keep the original in Zotero, e.g. for sharing with colleagues."
