Manually typing in authors' names
I just needed to manually fill in the Info tags for a manuscript paper, and the Author field was particularly difficult since there were about 10 authors, and I had to Copy/Paste each name&surname individually.
Which prompted me to think that it would be a very welcome feature of Zotero if it could automatically parse a line of text consisting of authors' names, typically formatted as in a journal (name, surname, affiliation in superscript), e.g.
Joe Doe1, David Smith1,2, Tina Bower2
and automatically fill in each author's name&surname based on this one line of pasted text.
What do people think of this feature?

adamsmithI believe this has been discussed before - it certainly would be nice, for authors as well as for tags.
