Upgrade StorageFeature request: drag PDF to Zotero dock icon to import (MacOS)
PDFs can be added to Zotero by dragging them to the item list. This process creates a new item and attempts to retrieve metadata from the PDF. The result, when all goes well, is a new item with populated metadata and attached file.
It is a common MacOS idiom to add new objects/items by dragging files to the app icon in the dock, but Zotero doesn't allow this.
Desired behavior:
1. Zotero is open and Zotero icon appears in dock.
2. User drags PDF to Zotero icon in dock.
3. New item is created in Zotero, with PDF attached a metadata populated.
Thoughts?

dstillmanThanks — this is planned. (The larger feature is to be able to open PDFs in Zotero, which isn't currently possible.)
