Upgrade Storageauto extract reference files as drop in zotero
Hello
When I used Mendeley, By drop a reference file such as the .ris file in the app main window it was extracted and add information automatically but in Zotero when I put a reference file Zotero considers it as a normal file and don't extract automatically
is it a way to change the process?

adamsmithYou can associate extensions with Zotero so it'll import .ris, .bib, etc. on double click. I don't think having Zotero recognize them on drag&drop is necessarily a great choice: that's what Zotero uses for you to add files for storage and confusing the two operations seems problematic.

dstillmanRight, one factor here is that Zotero can import many more types of files than Mendeley, all based on auto-detection, so conditionally running import on just some dragged files would be confusing and dangerous.
