Notes vs other items (like articles etc)
Hi, first of all: I am really impressed by zotero. It is actually one of the most impressive piece of software I have seen and will make my life a lot easier!
There is one thing I saw in another software for organizing your references. In this software it notes and references were clearly seperated. I like the fact that they are much more integrated in zotero. I think, however, that it would be very helpful to have an option which enables me to qickly switch between displaying both, only references or only notes. I know, I could use a saved search, but I would lose the organization of my stuff into collections.
Here is the reason why I think it makes sense to provide this opportunity: References and notes are two very different things and depending on what I am currently doing to make sense to display either of them or both. Notes are my thoughts (either in general or about a certain reference) whereas references are not my own thoughts but "only" point at the relevant literatur.

Feature Request: allow to arrange the folders (both collections and saved searches) in the left pane at free will and maybe even include separators, similar to the firefox bookmarks menu.
