Associating "orphaned" pdfs
As a result of a messy import of a very large set of bib files (thanks, Better Bibtex -- couldn't have done it without you!), I have a bunch of pdfs floating around in Zotero, not attached to anything.
I would like to look around, find the Zotero entry for them, and attach them. But this runs me into a problem I had earlier -- I need to be able to look at the citation entry while also looking at the pdf entry, so that I can drag the latter to the former. But since there's no "split window" in Zotero, I don't see how I can do that.
Last time I had a question like this, it was because I wasn't thinking properly about how Zotero should be used, and when the group corrected me, the answer became obvious and easy. I'm hoping that you can help me again!
Thanks

If that's somehow insufficient, you can also create a temporary collection and drag the PDF and item there.
But the temporary collection is a great idea, thanks!
