Instead of My Publications being a separate library, have it be a
special collection inside My Library. Top-level items can be dragged
into it as before, and child items can be toggled off and on with a
button in the item pane. Newly added child items won't be shown by
default.
For upgraders, items in the My Publications library will be moved into
My Library, which might result in their being duplicated if the items
weren't removed from My Library. The client will then upload those new
items into My Library.
The API endpoint will continue to show items in the separate My
Publications library until My Publications items are added to My
Library, so the profile page will continue to show them.
Previously they only showed for My Library by default, which I suspect
meant that most people didn't know you could get them for other
libraries...
This hides "Duplicate Items" and "Unfiled Items" from the context menu
when they're active, which may or may not be desirable (but we don't
show, say, "Trash" in the context menu).
Also tweaks selection behavior after hide to select next appropriate row
instead of the parent library.
I originally attempted this with zotero-persist and column attributes,
but there is no good way to make it succinct paramswise and the code was
painful to look at too. Thus different group settings are stored in
preferences.
Currently there are two view groups: "feed" and "default". Items view
columns have two new attributes:
`default-in` - a space separated list of views in which a column is
visible by default
`disabled-in` - a space separated list of views in which a column is
disabled by default (invisible + not possible to enable)
Fields not parsed for feeds are now disabled.
While trying to get translation and citing working with asynchronously
generated data, we realized that drag-and-drop support was going to
be...problematic. Firefox only supports synchronous methods for
providing drag data (unlike, it seems, the DataTransferItem interface
supported by Chrome), which means that we'd need to preload all relevant
data on item selection (bounded by export.quickCopy.dragLimit) and keep
the translate/cite methods synchronous (or maintain two separate
versions).
What we're trying instead is doing what I said in #518 we weren't going
to do: loading most object data on startup and leaving many more
functions synchronous. Essentially, this takes the various load*()
methods described in #518, moves them to startup, and makes them operate
on entire libraries rather than individual objects.
The obvious downside here (other than undoing much of the work of the
last many months) is that it increases startup time, potentially quite a
lot for larger libraries. On my laptop, with a 3,000-item library, this
adds about 3 seconds to startup time. I haven't yet tested with larger
libraries. But I'm hoping that we can optimize this further to reduce
that delay. Among other things, this is loading data for all libraries,
when it should be able to load data only for the library being viewed.
But this is also fundamentally just doing some SELECT queries and
storing the results, so it really shouldn't need to be that slow (though
performance may be bounded a bit here by XPCOM overhead).
If we can make this fast enough, it means that third-party plugins
should be able to remain much closer to their current designs. (Some
things, including saving, will still need to be made asynchronous.)
In Fx44, SQL queries must use '?' with LIKE and cannot concatenate a
placeholder string (e.g., 'foo%'). This is for Sqlite.jsm only, so it
doesn't affect 4.0.
Also:
- Remove last-sync-time mechanism for both WebDAV and ZFS, since it can
be determined by storage properties (mtime/md5) in data sync
- Add option to include synced storage properties in item toJSON()
instead of local file properties
- Set "Fake-Server-Match" header in setHTTPResponse() test support
function, which can be used for request count assertions -- see
resetRequestCount() and assertRequestCount() in webdavTest.js
- Allow string (e.g., 'to_download') instead of constant in
Zotero.Sync.Data.Local.setSyncState()
- Misc storage tweaks
This changes Zotero.Translate.Base.translate() to take an options object (in
order to take a 'collections' parameter, which is passed to the
Zotero.Translate.ItemSaver constructor). The old parameters are still supported
with a deprecation warning, and there may be other places that still need to be
updated.
This mostly gets ZFS file syncing and file conflict resolution working
with the API sync process. WebDAV will need to be updated separately.
Known issues:
- File sync progress is temporarily gone
- File uploads can result in an unnecessary 412 loop on the next data
sync
- This causes Firefox to crash on one of my computers during tests,
which would be easier to debug if it produced a crash log.
Also:
- Adds httpd.js for use in tests when FakeXMLHttpRequest can't be used
(e.g., saveURI()).
- Adds some additional test data files for attachment tests
Fix a couple cases of lost text field focus after an edit, including
focusing of the Title field after using New Item when a field is already
being edited and has a changed value.
Also, in tests, select My Library and wait for items to load when using
the loadZoteroPane() support function. We could add a parameter to skip
that or move it to a separate function, but the code to detect it is a
bit convoluted and it's a prerequisite for many tests, so it's handy to
have a function for it.
