Upgrade StorageFeature request: automatic tab naming when viewing PDF, mass editing and iTunes like rating system?
Zotero is amazing. Although I have some feature requests:
- is it possible to automatically name the tab in Firefox when viewing a PDF article? Now it is always called "(application/pdf-object)". It would help a lot if these tabs were named by their main author&year for example. Especially when writing a literature essay: once I had like 15 tabs open in Firefox, all named "(application/pdf-object)", so every time I had to Ctrl-tab my whole list of articles in Firefox to find the one I wanted.
- mass editing of articles. An example: a lot of my imported scientific articles do not contain their journal abbreviation (which is used in the bibliography of my papers). It would help me a lot (and I think more people), if I could tag all my "Nature Immunology" papers with their Journal Abbrevation ("Nat Immunol").
-automatically open PDF when double clicking object. This is not always the case, although I think I remembered a changelog a while ago that stated that this behavior should be default now.
-iTunes-like star rating to objects? Now I just use tags like "IMPORTANT" or whatever to denote the importance of an object. I think this will be the most difficult one to implement.
I hope that you can maybe implement these features to make this extension even more awesome than it already is!

Mass editing is planned see here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/480/batch-edits/ or search for "batch editing" in the forums.
The pdf behavior is intended as you describe and will be fixed in the next version if I remember correctly.
A rating system is being considered, but I don't think high on the agenda. There is some discussion here:

and no one has really pointed out why a rating system would be better than tags.
