Allow me to repeat a request that was first made back in 2009. When importing an item from the clipboard, please create a mechanism that allows it to be directly imported into an open collection instead of into its own collection.

If I want to import items outside a collection (and I often do) I have created two collections in my library for this. One is "Temp" for items I don't know where I want to place them. Another is "Delete" for items that I'm almost sure that I want to view, use once, and send to the trash.

Each import from the clipboard into its own collection makes for lots of moving items into "real" collections and lots of deleting "one-time" collections.

Thanks
