And use 'version' instead of 'itemVersion' for object version for items
Also add deferred foreign key checking to system.sql so that DROP TABLE
commands don't fail mid-transaction
Show a wizard after items are dragged to My Publications choosing
whether to include files and notes and choosing sharing settings for the
items. Sharing options are Creative Commons licenses, CC0, "All rights
reserved", or keeping the existing Rights field if available.
Also blocks collections, searches, linked file attachments, and
top-level attachments/notes from My Publications at the data layer, but
not yet from the UI in all places (so it can crash if you try).
Todo:
- Block certain UI actions with nice messages
- Show a nice scrollable list of items in the wizard to allow selecting
specific files/notes, instead of just having checkboxes for files and
notes that apply to all dragged items
- Show an explanation of My Publications in the right-hand pane when no
items are selected
- Maybe adjust handling when no attached files/notes, since it might be
a bit alarming at the moment to see sharing options for metadata
entries
Note that this loses conflicting changes to translate_item.js from 849803473a,
so those will need to be reapplied if applicable. /cc @aurimasv, @mtd91429
Adds a "My Publications" source after "My Library", implemented as a
separate library. Top-level items can be dragged in and removed.
(This doesn't currently work without disabling Quick Copy.)
Also:
- Make "Group Libraries" an unselectable header instead of a container,
and don't indent group libraries
- Fix relation purging, which maybe never worked
- Pass only libraryID/key on deletes (which should speed them up)
- Fix async item cloning/copying
- Fix miscellaneous other bugs
To-do:
- Confirmation dialog on drag
- API support
Fixes#426: this allows the localization of the Word Processors Add-in
button and messages displayed in the Prefs, under the "Word Processors"
tab. These strings were previously hardcoded in the integration plugins.
(Unfortunately this wipes out "Shortcuts" in all locales, but pushing
non-English locales to Transifex scares me too much. Sorry, localizers!
I think Transifex makes it easy to use previously used translations, at
least.)
[and delete unused "#zotero-prefpane-keys checkbox" (there used to be a checkbox to "Try to override conflicting shortcuts", which has been definely removed by 5b34dce40f )]
Generated files for a more robust attached-link-dialog and localized strings
* AttachLink.js
* AttachLink.xul
zotero/xpcom/attachments.js
* created function cleanAttachmentURI
* in function linkFromURL, removed the regex constraints and the comment list of valid protocols
* removed outdated function declaration from beginning of script
* Improved automatic title generation mechanism
Promise-based rewrite of most of the codebase, with asynchronous database and file access -- see https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/518 for details.
WARNING: This includes backwards-incompatible schema changes.
An incomplete list of other changes:
- Schema overhaul
- Replace main tables with new versions with updated schema
- Enable real foreign key support and remove previous triggers
- Don't use NULLs for local libraryID, which broke the UNIQUE index
preventing object key duplication. All code (Zotero and third-party)
using NULL for the local library will need to be updated to use 0
instead (already done for Zotero code)
- Add 'compatibility' DB version that can be incremented manually to break DB
compatibility with previous versions. 'userdata' upgrades will no longer
automatically break compatibility.
- Demote creators and tags from first-class objects to item properties
- New API syncing properties
- 'synced'/'version' properties to data objects
- 'etag' to groups
- 'version' to libraries
- Create Zotero.DataObject that other objects inherit from
- Consolidate data object loading into Zotero.DataObjects
- Change object reloading so that only the loaded and changed parts of objects are reloaded, instead of reloading all data from the database (with some exceptions, including item primary data)
- Items and collections now have .parentItem and .parentKey properties, replacing item.getSource() and item.getSourceKey()
- New function Zotero.serial(fn), to wrap an async function such that all calls are run serially
- New function Zotero.Utilities.Internal.forEachChunkAsync(arr, chunkSize, func)
- Add tag selector loading message
- Various API and name changes, since everything was breaking anyway
Known broken things:
- Syncing (will be completely rewritten for API syncing)
- Translation architecture (needs promise-based rewrite)
- Duplicates view
- DB integrity check (from schema changes)
- Dragging (may be difficult to fix)
Lots of other big and little things are certainly broken, particularly with the UI, which can be affected by async code in all sorts of subtle ways.
- Always allow "Report Errors...", even when no errors
- Show submitted diagnostic info in report
- Use white background and unitalicized text for report
- Make window larger by default
When opening the advanced search window, the current library is
selected, and a different library can be selected to change the search
scope. If a library is read-only, the saved search button is disabled.
For saved searches, the appropriate library is selected and the
drop-down is disabled.
Also:
- Close the advanced search window after a search is saved
- The default name for saved searches ("Untitled 2", etc.) was based on
collections rather than searches
- Once an initial search has been performed, the drop-downs and
checkboxes now update the results
- More consistent spacing in advanced search window
- (dev) Zotero.DB.getNextName() now takes a libraryID as its first
parameter instead of always using My Library; the old parameters are
deprecated but still work
- Each column in the middle pane can now have its own persistent
secondary sort column, configurable from a new submenu in the column
picker menu (top right of items list). The settings are stored in
extensions.zotero.secondarySort.[primaryField]. The submenu title
includes the current primary field (e.g., "Secondary Sort (Creator)"),
which is pretty weird, and I'm not sure I want to keep it, but it does
convey that the setting is specific to the selected column.
- The fallback sort fields (firstCreator, date, title, dateAdded) are
now configurable via the extensions.zotero.fallbackSort. Setting that
pref to an empty string avoids all fallback sorts, which
allows reverse-order clicking to set the order, as requested by
@aurimasv in #275.
- The previous behavior of sorting based on the exact Creator string
(rather than the actual creators) can now be restored with the
extensions.zotero.sortCreatorAsString pref. (It simply circumvents all
the newer code, so it's pretty safe.) This setting should result in
faster sorting in large libraries that have many items with the same
Creator string.
- Some of the lesser fields in the column picker menu are now in the
More Columns submenu (which is now alphabetical)
- The "Type" column is now the less-ambiguous "Item Type".
- This uses a different method to modify the column picker menu that is
simultaneously less and more hacky. (It no longer has to duplicate
Mozilla code in a custom XBL binding that wouldn't reflect future
upstream changes, and instead it bushwhacks its way through various
boxObject properties to get to the underlying menupopup.)
