Right-Click Change Title in Zotero
Love Zotero... big fan and really great work, folks!!
Minor, but important improvement for me... Zotero is usually great at bringing in cited work. But sometimes it has trouble doing so. Here's the situation....
PDF of article is already loaded to hard drive from Elsevier. Retrieving Metadata doesn't work. RTF Scan doesn't work. Can manually add, but while trying to Retrieve Metadata, file is already listed in Zotero, so would have to delete from Zotero, then manually add the file, link-in, and bring it into Zotero.... it would be ideal to do this, but sometimes, I just don't want/can't afford to spend the time to fully-enter them, especially if I'm not sure I'm going to end up using/citing the reference. So, the file is already listed in Zotero as "sdarticle.pdf" from Elsevier and all I want to do for now is just change the title of the file in Zotero.
Would be really nice and useful if I could just do this.
Would also be nice even if Zotero is not able to retrieve metadata or display results via RTF Scan, if it could at least suggest some possible reference from the text of the article... for example by searching for a date, or journal name, etc.
Thank you very much!

Guessing titles is tricky - in order for it to be useful it'd need to be at least pretty decent, which in turn means more effort coding it - so unless a third party takes an interest, this doesn't seem likely in the near future.
