Dragging multiple items into a Collection
Is there currently a way to drag more than one item into a Collection at a time? If so, how? And if not, (when) will it be added?

What will transfer:
- Multiple items of any format.
- Note(s) + Item(s)
- Note(s) + Link(s)
- Pdf(s) + Snapshot(s)
- Pdf(s) + Link(s)
- Snapshot(s) + Link(s)
What won't transfer:
- Note(s) + Pdf(s)
- Note(s) + Snapshot(s)
- Pdf(s) + Item(s)
- Item(s) + Snapshot(s)
- Item(s) + Link(s)
(These are the only formats I have in My Library at the moment, so I don't know if different sorts of Item - e.g. 'Book'/'Film'/etc. - would behave differently from an Item based on a webpage.)
Any group I try to transfer that contains a combination of 'What won't transfer' ... simply won't transfer (i.e. when I click on one of the selected items and drag my mouse over the Folder name, the cursor does not change to a arrow with a grey square at its tail - it stays as a black circle with a line drawn through it and when I let go nothing happens).
Is this a glich or am I missing some glaringly obvious reason as to why certain items are incompatible for transferring simultaneously?
Although I'm afraid I didn't understand your last sentence :S ... I think this might be in relation to it: keeping in mind that Note(s) + Snapshot(s)=What won't transfer, I have just tried expanding a parent-item > selecting its child-snapshot > Ctrl+selecting a stand-alone note > dragging into a folder. ... Doesn't work.
scot: see an earlier forum discussion
and if so, does anyone else have a clue as to what's going on?
If it's still not working, check if Report Errors becomes active (non-gray) after attempting to drag, and if so, send in an error report and post the Report ID it provides here.
Furthermore, there was no option in the drop-down menu to set it to 'Zotero RDF'.
I have, however, been able to report the error using the 'Report Errors ... ' option in the Settings menu, so I hope that might illuminate matters. The Report ID is:
841279863.
To everyone: thank-you for the time and attention you've offered!
I'm curious to see my Zotero's secretly been getting up to :) ...
