Upgrade Storagetab to list collections containing instances of an item
There is a problem of being unable to identify which collection (out of a hundred or more) improperly contains an accidentally misfiled item--see...

The current keyboard method (http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item) gets me there but clumsily, as a long list of collections does not fit in the window (see complaints by others in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/22870/display-collections-to-which-an-item-belongs/ , which I second).
Such a tab would obviously serve other purposes as well, such as being able to see at a glance whether you've placed the item in all the appropriate collections, or whether you have yet to do so (avoiding duplicate items in a collection if you already did).

gcinbisI have been waiting for this feature for a long time.. A tab that will list the collections containing an item can be very handy.

d.bobakWhat's more, It would be very nice to have a hierarchical collection structure in one of the items tab. And assigning item to collections with checkboxes...
