Show recent viewed items

CavalloneChen

It would be very convenient to have a "recent items" in the side bar like mac's finder's "recents" and windows's file explorer's "quick access".

What's your definition of a "viewed item"?

CavalloneChen

@dstillmanIn my typical use case, a viewed item is just an item whose attachment has been opened.

@CavalloneChenRecently Viewed items can be sorted by Date Modified.However, since you need to manually modify the item to be listed, which is a hassle.Good news is this can be automated.188BET靠谱吗You need to use the Zotero Tag plugin 188BET靠谱吗https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-tag/releases
There you can set the rules to add tag on item open say, "open tab" and remove the "open tab" on item closed.Now the item has been modified and viewed recently.

Date Modified and "Recently Viewed" aren't related.There's no reason you should have to modify an item for it to show up as viewed.

We'll be adding a proper Recently Read collection soon.

188BET靠谱吗Are you referring to zotero-tag functionality?

dstillman

@cjpoor: No.I'm just saying that a hack that requires updating Date Modified shouldn't be necessary for this, and we have plans to do it properly.

cjpoor

Ah.OK.Sounds good.

@dstillmanwill this feature be implemented in an update to 6, or in 7?will be a game-changer for my dissertation :)

Oh boy I love this application but man is it missing some BASIC features like a reading view, recently opened, spell check, and dark mode.
