Chrome plugin: choose collection where to add the paper

I add the vast majority of papers in zotero via the chrome plugin. I don't think I have ever used a manual upload.

However, a most annoying thing is that there is no way to specify, from the chrome plugin, in which collection the paper I'm adding should go to.

So, as a feature request, I suggest adding a way to choose collections in the chrome plugin, or, if the feature is already there but I cannot not find it, make it more apparent.

    As long as you have Standalone open, the Chrome connector will save to the selected collection.

    If you close Standalone, the Chrome connector will save directly to the server (if you've set it up to do so) in the library root.

    Better ways of choosing the target collection from the connectors might happen in the future, but for now the best option is just to keep Standalone open and select the collection you want there before saving.
  • Thanks, that does work indeed. I had not figured that connection out.
