Improve title/author/abstract pane on RSS feeds

gersonjferreira

I use InoReader to follow RSS feeds from arXiv and physics journals. I would like to try moving this to Zotero for easy integration with my library, however, the current Zotero interface for the RSS feeds is not sufficient.

When we read the RSS feeds, we need to spot easy three things: the title, the authors, the abstract. Currently, only the title is easy to read. The authors and the abstract appear in a mixture of too much info on the Item pane. Even if we collapse the "info" section, the abstract section does not show the full abstract, it ends with ...

Please try to improve this visualization. At least to show the full abstract in the item pane.

Another improvement, that it is probably more difficult (or impossible), would be to render Latex in both the abstracts and titles.

You can get the main metadata in a compact format in the Item Pane Header:

And you can also pin the Abstract section to completely hide the Info section.

Even if we collapse the "info" section, the abstract section does not show the full abstract, it ends with ...

When I see the "...", it usually comes from the feed itself, so it is not a problem of Zotero but from the publisher. I see that for example for the PRL RSS feed.

I agree though that this is in reality not practical because you need to change the display settings of the item pane every time you switch between another library to the Feeds:
