Option to configure folding or order of item pane sections?

I'm using tags a lot to structure my library and make it easier to find things again.
While I really like the current layout as such, it's quite cumbersome to work with the tags section in the item pane, for a number of reasons:

1. "Info" is always folded out whenever I import a new reference, blocking the view of the other sections. I need to scroll down (or click the "Tags" icon) to reach the tags section.
2. The item pane often loads quite slowly, so that I need to repeat the scrolling/navigating to "Tags" process, as the pane focus jumps back up to the then newly loaded "Info" section once it's done loading, which is interruptive in my workflow.

Ideally, I'd be able to configure the item pane more granularly, e.g., to show only specific sections, order the sections, set initial folding state. Perhaps this is already possible (if so, I'd be happy to learn how, couldn't find anything myself)?

If not, I'd love this as a new feature.

Many thanks for an otherwise great software tool!
  • Assuming you are running the current version of Zotero, you can
    1. Pin any section of the item pane so that items open to it by default
    2. Reorder the item pane elements using drag & drop
  • Thanks!
    Just updated to v8, and it works nicely.
