One of my frustrations with Zotero is that there is no easy way to list all the collections in which a file is stored. This is my band-aid of a solution. The code can be run under Tools > Developer > Run Javascript using "Sync" mode.

function collections_output() { | |
zp = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane() | |
items = zp.getSelectedItems() | |
collection_ids = items[0]["_collections"] | |
collections_cache = Zotero.Collections._objectCache | |
return_string = items[0]["_displayTitle"] | |
return_string += "\n\nCollections: \n" | |
for (i = 0; i < collection_ids.length; i++) { | |
return_string += "(" | |
return_string += i+1 | |

return_string += collections_cache[collection_ids[i]]["name"] | |
