Some optional interface/functions stuff

This would improve the already fabulous zotero in my view. I'm fairly new to zotero so if some of it can be done already and I missed it, please let me now. I do not mean any of the below should be defaults, but added as options would be something:

1) Show (sub-)collections in center window - ie. mimic windows explorer.

2) I sometimes find myself at a loss as to where I am in my trees of collections/subcollections. When hovering on a note I wouldn't mind seeing a floating popup-text showing the name of current collection (or shown on a border somewhere like firefox shows webadresses when you hover over a link etc).

3) Show/Hide button for the entire tags-box would enable larger view of collections when you don't work with tags.

4) Options on how to treat opening of files from within zotero. For HTML-pages: same window or new tab or new window; for PDF: same options as html + external acrobat.

Cheers!

    There is an icon for this. Click the icon to the left of the gear icon.
    4) ... for HTML-pages: same window or new tab or new window?
    Snapshots use standard Firefox behavior, so control-clicking (Cmd-clicking on a Mac) opens snapshots in a new tab behind, control-shift-click opens in a new front tab, and shift opens in a new window.

    Thanks Dan,

    my bad on no. 3 - don't know how on earth I missed it; I found no. 4 works as well for the stored pdf:s, which makes an option to open in external acrobat more or less superfluous.
