Can choose to download files "at sync time" or "as needed"
On-demand defaults to on, but remains off for existing users
To-do:
- Handling of local and remote file changes on on-demand download
(currently if a file exists it isn't downloaded, which means a
remotely modified file won't be redownloaded in on-demand mode)
- Additional control over file downloading and retention
Other changes:
- Overhauled entire file syncing architecture
- Replaced numAttachments column with Note and Attachment columns with
dynamic icons to indicate status
- Double-clicking a parent with a missing best attachment and on-demand
downloading off no longer loads the parent URL
- Bugs
TODO: limit to large syncs?
This needs a lot of testing.
Also:
- Tweak pumpGenerator() wait level behavior to match Zotero.wait()
- If Zotero is closed in the top-most window, show a popup instead of the pane-covering progress meter, and take an optional icon in Zotero.showZoteroPaneProgressMeter() for use in the popup
- Restore protection against opening Zotero pane when Zotero.locked is set
- Display a nicer error if Zotero.DB.commitTransaction() is called without an active transaction
- Allow text with icons to extend to multiple lines in progressWindow popup
- Automatically use current window if one isn't specified in Zotero.repaint()
- Adds a per-library "Duplicate Items" virtual search to the source list -- shows up by default for "My Library" but can be added to and removed from all libraries
- Current matching algorithm is very basic: finds exact title matches (after normalizing case/diacritics/punctuation/spacing) and DOI/ISBN matches (untested)
- In duplicates view, sets are selected automatically; in other views, duplicate items can be selected manually and the merge interface can be brought up with "Merge Items" in the context menu
- Can select a master item and individual fields to merge from other versions
- Word processor integration code will automatically find mapped replacements and update documents with new item keys
Possible future improvements:
- Improved detection algorithms
- UI tweaks
- Currently if any items differ, all available versions will be shown as master item options, even if only one item is different; probably the earliest equivalent item should be shown for each distinct version
- Caching of results for performance
- Confidence scale
- Creator version selection (currently the creators from the chosen master item are kept)
- Merging of matching child items
- Better sorting of duplicates if not clustered together by the selected sort column
- Relation path compression when merging items that are already mapped to previously removed duplicates
Other changes in this commit:
- Don't show Trash in word processor integration windows
- Consider items in trash to be missing in word processor documents
- Selection of special views (Trash, Unfiled, Duplicates) is now restored properly in new windows
- Disabled field transform context menu when item isn't editable
- Left/right arrow now expands/collapses all selected items instead of just the last-selected row
- Relation deletions are now synced
- The same items row is now reselected after item deletion
- (dev) Zotero.Item.getNotes(), Zotero.Item.getAttachments(), and Zotero.Item.getTags() now return empty arrays rather than FALSE if no matches -- tests on those return values in third-party code will need to be changed
- (dev) New function Zotero.Utilities.removeDiacritics(str, lowercaseOnly) -- could be used to generate ASCII BibTeX keys
- (dev) New 'tempTable' search condition can take a table to join against -- useful for implementing virtual source lists
- (dev) Significant UI code cleanup
- (dev) Moved all item pane content into itemPane.xul
- Probably various other things
Needless to say, this needs testing.
- Implement connector for Firefox (should switch in/out of connector mode automatically when Standalone is launched or closed, although this has only been tested extensively on OS X)
- Share core translation code between Zotero and connectors
Still to be done:
- Run translators in non-Fx connectors (this works in theory, but it's not currently enabled for any translators)
- Show translation results in non-Fx connectors
- Ability to translate to server when Zotero Standalone is not running
