Copying multiple PDFs from Zotero to Windows Explorer at once

Hi,

I am trying to find out how to copy multiple PDFs from Zotero to Windows Explorer at once. Actually, also this multiple file operation would be handy when transferring files from Zotero to qualitative analysis software (NVivo, Atlas, etc.).

In the following link I illustrated this situation by trying to drag and drop multiple files from Zotero, but always just 1 file is copied/transferred at once. I tried drag and drop "multiple files" + crtl + shift etc. and the same undesirable behavior (1 file at once).

Thanks in advance,
Cadu

Multi-file drag doesn't currently work on Windows. At least at some point this was a Firefox/Windows limitation. Not sure if it still holds.
