Better Multiple Citations Management ( Collections or bulk tagging)

Driftless
Am I missing something - or can you only drag-and-drop one citation at a time into a collection?

It would be great to be able to run a search, pick a group of citations, drag them into the collection, and then move on ... one-by-one is tedious.

At the same time - is it possible to select a grip-load of citations, and then add a tag to all of them at once?

    Addendum - Just watched the screencast about creating groups. And, well, there was a drag-and-drop incident that seemed to move 20+ citations into the group folder! Here, no joy.

    Might be worth pointing out my stats:

    Firefox 3.6.8
    Zotero 2.0.3
    Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid Lynx

    OK...

    Issues 1: Semi-solved. When you run a search, and it brings along all the attachments (say pdfs etc) those are often expanded below. For some reason when I select all, and try to drag with expanded sub-entries, the receiving folder won't allow it. If I collapse all the attachments, and then drag the same group with just the top-level entries... THEN it works.

    Workable...

    The group tagging would still be nice.

    You can select multiple items from the middle column and drag them onto any tag in your tag selector. See http://www.zotero.org/support/tags
