Cross-library/cross-collection copy
Quite often, I want to share a certain collection with my colleagues. In that case, I create a new collection in our shared library, and drag/drop all the contents of my local collection to the new collection. However, when items are already in the shared library, but not in that collection, they are not added to the new collection! Even no warning is given. To add the missing items, I have to perform a dreadful manual comparison between my local and shared collection, search the missing items one by one in the shared library and drag them to the collection.
I propose that when dragging from one to another library, there are always copies made. Duplicated items can be merged easily with the duplicated items function. It would even better if zotero notifies me that I create duplicates on the moment of addition.
