future request - add stand-alone notes and folders from email and other sources

CherylR
I just stated using Zotero, and I love it. Thank you for creating and sharing it! It's a great help.

I belong to numerous elists in my area (writing for children/teens), and there are often great ideas that I would like to remember and expand on. Ideally, I would like to be able to copy a few paragraphs from an email, and paste it directly into Zotero, into its own folder and as a stand-alone note--like Zotero does with an archived web page.

I would also love to be able to do the same with any text notes I create.

And, it would be wonderful if Zotero not only existed as an add-in in FireFox (which I love) but *also* as a stand alone program, that I could open up at any time to search through and view files.

    Not to put you too much on the spot, but why couldn't you just open up Firefox at any time to search through and view your Zotero library? Although it's a frequent request, it's not exactly clear to me what the advantage would be to have a standalone application.

    Zotero supports the creation of standalone notes. Just click the "New Standalone Note" button. If you're using web-based email, you can also highlight text in the browser, right-click it and select "Create Zotero Item and Note from Selection." Will this functionality accomplish what you want to do?
