Upgrade Storagefree sorting of childnotes into collections
I am writing on my thesis. I love zotero. But I desperately could need something very simple:
a) The possibility to arrange single child-notes of several books/articles/etc. in collection-folders without removing them from their parent book/article/etc.
b) The possibility to generate reports from those collections, such that the content of the single notes is shown together with a reference to their respective parent. (This reference could be citation style, eg. author & title.)
c) The possibility to generate a bibliography of the parents of the notes.
Why do I need this?
I use notes to store excerpts from books. I would then like to drag and drop the excerpts of several books into collections, according to the different topics/chapters I am working on. The reports would then be a basis for my writing of a text and citing the different books.
Short Example:
1) I have three books in my library and each book has 20-something childnotes containing excerpts.
2) I create a collection called "my new book" and two subcolletions called "chapter1" and "chapter2".
3) I look through my excerpts and drag'n drop some of them into "chapter1" and some of them into "chapter2".
4) I generate a report on "chapter1" and start writing on my new book.
