Add Item by Identifier pop up 'search' box

senojmit
When you click on the 'Add item by identifier button' [the wand with green plus sign) would it be possible to make the pop up 'search' box appear where you last dragged and dropped it rather than it always appearing in the top left-hand corner of the screen? It is really irritating if you are working on multiple screens with a stretched desktop and you have to keep returning to the top-left-hand-corner to input DOI, ISBN etc. Thank you.

    On which set-up is that? Which Zotero, which FF, which OS?
    I always get the pop-up right under the button, can't drag it, and it's selected already, so I can just start typing/pasting. Could be OS specific or this has been changed for 3.0.

    This was changed for 3.0. The Add Item by Identifier button now appears as a popup under the button.

    GREAT! Much better - less dragging the mouse pointer across the screen. However, one issue. I can no longer copy DOI's on PDF journal articles and paste them directly into the popup after clicking the 'Add Item by Identifier' button. You have to type out the DOI instead. How frustrating. Can this be rectified to allow quick paste?
  • senojmit
    Okay, I now realise that I can ctrl-v to paste the DOI but I cannot right click the mouse and paste. Still, could you make the latter possible?

    senojmit: That's a known issue. Thanks.
