zotero connector - show if item already exists in your library [feature request/proposition]

kirksmith314 · June 23, 2021

Would there be interest in this feature? Ie, zotero connector in browser could display a specific icon (such as a gray checkmark) to confirm that an item has already been added to your library or is a duplicate - based on presumably the same characteristics that suggest duplicate items in the Zotero desktop app.

Or am I just lazy/can't remember what I've already read? Curious to here if others might find this helpful.

Hi! This has been discussed before in the forum (see for example https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/368423, https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/77733/recognizing-previously-filed-items-w-zotero-connector/p1 and https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/59377), and there is an open issue in GitHub: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/1007. Many users seem to be requesting this, but it doesn't seem to have been addressed yet.

Ah that would explain why I hadn't seen it - I only searched for feature requests here (https://github.com/zotero/zotero-connectors) and couldn't see one.
