Better instructions and behavior if the data directory is inaccessible
or missing, including automatically detecting a directory at the default
location if the configured directory is missing and offering to use the
default instead. Together, this means that if, say, security software
prevents Zotero from accessing the data directory within the Firefox
profile, it will suggest that the user move it to ~/Zotero and then
prompt to use that directory.
Keep the application open with limited menus, including a Window ->
Zotero option bound to (Cmd-0) that can be used to reopen the main
window.
This allows Zotero to use almost no CPU (instead of a few percentage
points when the window is open, even when hidden with Cmd-H, though it'd
be nice to fix that) and still allow saves from the connector.
There might be some things that aren't being destroyed properly when the
window is closed or other bugginess, but it seems to work pretty well.
This also adds a mechanism for indicating that DB userdata upgrades
after a certain version are minor and shouldn't show "Upgrading
database…" or create a pre-upgrade backup.
This causes any item with just a year to show up at the start of the
year (instead of just not showing up, which I think was the case
before). Unfortunately they can then go out of view, and it's not
possible to scroll to view more, though that could probably be fixed.
And try all, since it doesn't do any of this unless there's a PAC file,
it's not actually a network request unless the site should be proxied,
and it should only make a single HEAD request unless a previous one
fails.
There's a possibility some proxies are limited to HTTP, in which case
changing these to HTTPS might stop this from working. If so, we'd need
to add back HTTP addresses.

Show "Copy Citation" and "Copy Bibliography" when a bib format is
selected and "Copy as BibTeX", etc., when an export is selected. If a
site-specific setting is in effect from the last active URL, use that
instead.
If no regular items are selected in bib mode, the menu options are
disabled.
This also now filters non-regular items out when in bib mode -- before
if you selected a combination it would include a bunch of 'n.d.' lines.
Closes#1155, Disable Copy Citation menu option when a translator is
selected for Quick Copy
The items will still match full-text word searches, but they won't match
phrase searches (because those require cache files for non-text
attachments) and the full-text won't sync to other computers, so they
should really be reindexed.
This should be tested, but we run tests in Firefox, and this doesn't
exist in Firefox... Easiest option is probably to add the submenu to the
Firefox menus for the purposes of testing.
Adds a submenu for quickly generating and submitting debug output, with
a button to copy the Debug ID to the clipboard and a one-click option to
restart with logging enabled. Debug output can also now be viewed in
real-time using the new debug output viewer window (previously available
only via a command-line flag).
The locale switcher has moved to the top of the Advanced prefpane (where
Debug Output Logging used to go) in a Miscellaneous section, and there's
a new "Advanced Configuration" section (mirroring Thunderbird) at the
bottom for "Config Editor".
Closes#1108
- If an error occurred while moving the database file, the data
directory could end up pointing to the new, empty directory after a
restart
- The error message for a full failure was missing the second half that
actually explained that you were supposed to move the data directory
- The check for different-drive migrations didn't work if the new
directory didn't exist (at least on macOS), swallowed some errors, and
interfered with manual migrations from the prefs
- The manual migration button would say that the new directory wasn't
empty even if it just contained .DS_Store
- Don't show "Database migration in progress" after not restarting after
a migration failure
Additionally, after a full failure the migration is now attempted on
every restart and displays a warning each time, since otherwise people
will never move their directories out of the Firefox profile (which is
when it's going to fail the most, due to security software).
2addf6b27b fixed the date order used when automatic locale detection was
enabled, but this fixes the format (e.g., dots instead of slashes). It
should now match the item pane. I'm not sure why we weren't doing this
before, but hopefully we didn't have a good reason.
