Citations in Zotero 1.0.7

maicart
In relation to this new feature:

"Holding down Shift before the start of an item drag now copies a citation instead of a full bibliography entry"

The citation is not a field that counts for the final bibliography. Would it be possible that it counted as a field?

Thanks.

    I'm not a programmer or developer or anything, but according to this thread, I don't think so: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3054/#Item_14

    It may be possible using RTF fields, but we haven't attempted it. And even if it's possible, Firefox on OS X doesn't support RTF copying, so on Macs it'd have to be done via the command-line pbcopy program, which would probably make Unicode copying impossible. And Windows would probably has its own set of problems.

    We may look into this at some point, but, as I suggest on the other thread, an auto-field-conversion feature in the plugin may be more likely to get implemented.
