Automatically retrieve PDF metadata when a PDF is added in the library
Hello,
When I add a PDF than it is on my computer I have to do this following step:
- drag&drop the PDF into my library
- right click on the PDF
- Select "retriew metada for the PDF"
- wait until it is done
I would prefer to:
- drag&drop the PDF into my library
And in the background Zotero check if it can find the PDF metadata and automatically wrap the pdf in a parent's item.
So I can drag&drop PDF quickly, even multiple PDF without interrupting my works and have to right click every time (right click is a pain on trackpad).
Regards

dstillman@glopezs: I'm not sure what you mean here. This functionality was added to Zotero recently.
