Two simple feature request: drop stack & copy note
I often wish a 'drop stack' as a temporary space to place a note, a pdf or any other attachment and think this would be a great feature for Zotero. I regularly download a pdf (with title xyz.pdf) from the net or wish to move an attachment from one entry to another for which much scrolling is needed: xyz.pdf is down under 'x' while my newly created entry is sorted by author's name (or title) and maybe at quite some alphabetical distance to the file I wish to attach. The scrolling with a selected attachment 'on the hook' seems quite tedious. A drop stack space (maybe in the left pane under the cogwheel) where an item could be dragged to and temporarily parked before being attached to its destinaton entry would be great.
Request numer two: an option in the context menu to copy the subitem (webshot, note) under selection. I know duplication is possible, but duplication places the new item simply at the old place from where it then has to dragged 'on hook' to wherever it's supposed to go. I'm looking for a simple copy/paste option without having to drag a duplicate and scroll my way up or down.
I'm aware that this is small stuff; thanks for considering anyway.

The other thing you can do is have a subfolder in your /zotero/ folder (i.e. in the file system) for these stray PDFs. That's what I often do. When I've got the metadata in order, I simply drag the PDFs from the file system onto the destination entry.
