Upgrade StorageReindexing PDFs
Hi,
I notice a few people at various times have commented on the ability (or lack of it) of Zotero to re-index individual PDFs. There's even a post from Dan saying from 2007 saying it'll be in the next version.
So, for my tuppence worth, I'd say it would be a good thing.
I've a lot of PDFs and some of them are images rather than text. When I find/rediscover one, I normally click on the "Recognize text using OCR" button in Acrobat. Then ... I either have to save the file somewhere else, delete the original, add the new file back to the old item and let Zotero work its magic, OR, I have to re-index the whole set of PDFs. (Obviously the second option is for when I'm lazy and have time on my hands).
I would be really nice to have a Re-index button, or better yet, have Zotero recognize automagically that the file has changed and reindex itself (that might be too hard).
Or am I missing something (as is often the case)?

It is not possible yet, however, to find all unindexed PDFs.
