Upgrade StorageAbout searching in Zotero and especially Tags
Hi,
I've looked for some informations about using tags while searching, and I wonder if the following actions would be possible ?
(a) is there a way to export a Tags list from a collection or a specific sub-collection (into a text file, or anything else) ? I have collected quite a lot of items for a literature review, and automatic collected tags and manual tags have been added. As a result, there are many of them and I would like to see them all at once, not only in the left panel...
(b) is there a way to organize a collection or sub-collection not only by date / author / title (etc.) but also by tags ? it would mean to add a column for tags, not sure it would be possible...
(c) about timeline and tags : sometimes ago there were some questions about the possibility to sort a timelime by tags, not only by title (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1375/timeline-and-tags/), is it something which could be implemented later or definitively not ?
(d) more generally, is there a way to generate a general report about a collection / sub-collection ? I am not thinking to the report function which is yet implemented, but a more basic one and more "database" orientated, if I may say so : number of items, number of authors, number of items by authors, number of tags, number of items by tags, number of items by date, and so on... It may be a too general function. But as a matter of fact, after years using Zotero (thanks so much for this wonderful tool), my Zotero has thousands items, dozens of collections and sub-collections, a myriad of tags, and sometimes I wish I could have a general overview of some collections / sub-collections.
Anyway, thanks a lot for Zotero which helps a lot !

(b) Good point ... better link this need to (c) : it could be useful for me to "visualize" my items by tags, in a timeline : when a concept / theory / etc (anything I've defined as a tag) appears, when it is more numerous, to which other tags it is linked, and so on.
Tags are really useful in fact. I would like to look into my Zotero collections by crossing them with other datas (date, author, other tags...) for a better analysis.
I am not sure I am clear enough, but anyway, thanks a lot !
