Feature request - organising and exporting annotations by tags (across different pdfs)

GarethAB

Hello there.
Firstly, just want to say a massive thanks for providing such a great tool free of charge - I really appreciate it!

Secondly, and not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have a request for a new functionality: It would be amazing if you could please introduce a way to filter annotations across multiple pdfs by specific tags and export annotations with the same tag in one go.

This would mean one could use Zotero to organise and write articles much more easily (e.g., without using another tool like NVivo).

Maybe adding something to the right hand pane in the pdf reader if possible?

I know you have loads of requests but, if this one isn't too much work, then would be great.

Many thanks again!

Currently you can do this at the attachment level. Annotation tags show up in the tag selector in the library view. Select a tag, select all the attachments that show up (click in the items list and press Ctrl/Cmd-A), right-click, Create Note from Annotations. The note will include all annotations on those PDFs, including annotations with other tags.

In a future version, annotations will show up directly in the items list, so it will be possible to create a note from just the annotations with the selected tag.

Thank you sincerely for the quick reply.

I very much look forward to when one can create a note from just the selected tag (that'll be a game-changer for me)!
