PDF reader: add a new "more options" (three dots) menu

qqbb · March 22, 2021

In the PDF reader, a new "three dots" menu might be helpful, similar to the menu in the top-right corner of the new note editor.

Such a menu button might fit well next to the search button ("Find in Document").

Here are possible options for the menu:

- "Show in Library": This option is currently available in the note editor.

- "Save As…": Export with annotations, currently available in the File menu.

- "Open in External Viewer": Open the current page, e.g., in a PDF editor.

- "Open in a Separate Window": If the reader became detachable, this option could be added.

Thanks for adding a "Show in Library" option to Zotero's File menu! This is currently selecting the parent item, though. Could you please change it so it selects the PDF attachment instead? In my opinion, this would be more useful given that a parent item can have more than one PDF attachment. The note editor's "Show in Library" option selects the note, so selecting the attachment in the same way seems more natural.
