Zotero 7 Beta: Order of Open Documents in Citation Dialog

poettli

What is the order chosen to display the recent "Open Documents" in the quick citation dialog? It seems that by default, the 2 leftmost (in normal order) + the 5 leftmost (in reverse order) are offered for citation. Could you confirm?

The order is based on the most recently viewed tabs, regardless of their appearance in the tab bar. If you restarted Zotero and some of the tabs have not been viewed since, they will appear in reverse tab bar order (newer to older opened), after all items that have been viewed in this session.

The logic is that you most likely want to cite the document that you have currently opened, or the most recently viewed documents.

I understand. It seems I didn't notice I opened one of the leftmost tabs after the rightmost tabs when I tested. I can reproduce what you are describing now. Thank you for the clarification and sorry for the inconvenience
