Upgrade StorageFeature requests - large libraries
Hello! Not sure if these requests are covered elsewhere (tho I searched for them first). I have been using 1.5b for a few weeks. I use it with a large library (2800+) and smaller collections (300 - 600).
I have noticed two things that slow things down with my large library:
1) The autocomplete search feature slows things down. I'd rather have the search work after I type the entry in, rather than start sorting as I type. With a large lib, it just hangs for a few seconds.
2) Whenever I drag selections to tags, a thumbnail image of the items I selected appears behind the cursor. With a large selection, this has the effect of covering up the collection or tag I'm dragging the items to. I'd suggest you change this to a single item, perhaps that says "X items selected".
Otherwise, I'm a longtime user of Endnote, and I have to say I like zotero just as much. It gets a big edge because of the Open Office ability. Its downside so far is that it is slower than Endnote. That's a fair trade, in my view.

nglayout.enable_drag_images1) would be nice to be able to turn off find-as-you-type. A minor issue, hidden pref would be fine.
Alexuw - beautiful, brother. That's a great help.
