Upgrade Storage[Feature request] Author filter
Hello,
I'm wondering if we can add an 'Author filter' feature. Similar to the current tag filter function, when one selects an author name all his/her papers show up. I used this feature in Mendeley and I like it very much.
I know one can achieve the same purpose by doing an advanced search and saving it. I indeed followed this approach but a few things trouble me. 1. The saved search is mixed with my library list, making the panel very messy. 2. I have to do this every time when I want to follow another author's research. 3. The saved search doesn't sync to my iPad's Zotero.
Actually, similar discussions have been brought up many times in the forum but I didn't see its implementation (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/21927/access-papers-by-author, https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6618/search-by-author， https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/86874/feature-request-author-view-list).
