Upgrade StorageSuggestion: Have the option to show notes only from the current collection down
SYSTEM
I'm using Zotero 6.0.26 on MacOS 13.4.1 (c) on a M2 Macbook Air.
CONTEXT
I've got two icons in the upper right of my UI when a document tab is selected. The left one makes the right/bottom pane show info/tags/related. When I click the right icon, that pane shows item notes followed by all notes.
All notes are organized chronologically. Usually, this isn't ideal for me and, I suspect, many other users.
SUGGESTION
I'd like to request a settings switch to make "all notes" show the notes for the selected collection or subcollection down. If I've got a subcollection, "food", and subcollection of that "fruit" and "oranges" under that, I'd like to see only the notes for oranges and its subcollections if oranges is selected, and the notes for ALL fruit if fruit is selected, but I would only see the notes for, say, vegetables, if food or its subcollection, vegetables, were selected.
As an added plus, a selector for how to sort the "all notes" would also be useful.
Thank you so much for your consideration.

wdentonI agree this is a good idea. I taught a workshop on Zotero today and someone asked about this. Being able to focus on just what's in the current collection would be very helpful.

savasavasavaI also agree. it would be really great for workflow to be able to see item notes and collection or subcollection notes, rather than all notes. or at least have the option to choose which notes are visible in addition to the item notes. hope you can implement this! thanks.
