listbox is gone, but richlistbox is still here as a custom element and
works fine for cases where we don't need virtualization.
groupbox label and richlistitem styles should probably be copied to
somewhere global once tuned a bit.
- Adjust text
- Add "Learn More" button with link to sync documentation for
set-up-sync notification
- Show "Don't Show Again" for set-up-sync even on first display
- Don't perform any action when clicking unlinked text
- Use yellow/orange background instead of blue for notification bar
- Prevent text from wrapping out of the bar at narrow window widths
- Use local variable for observer id
There are two:
- Sync never set up (no username in DB) / set up, but unlinked
- Sync set up but auto-sync disabled and sync not completed in 30 days
Checks are trigged on item adds.
It seems that style calculation gets insane when `overflow: auto` is used inside a collapsed box (specifically inside contextPane), although there might be more factors
7ef7943a17 made "Loading items…" small again after it got big during
HTMLification but made everything else (e.g., welcome message, My
Publications intro) small as well. This adds an ugly hack to keep the
loading message small for now (without passing dedicated HTML from a
bunch of different places).
- Just a single huge commit. This has been developed over too long a
time, required many tiny changes across too many files and has seen too
many iterations to be separated into separate commits.
The original branch with all the messy commits will be kept around for
posterity
bb220ad0f2...adomasven:feature/react-item-tree
- Replaces XUL <tree> element across the whole zotero client codebase
with a custom supermegafast virtualized-table inspired by
react-virtualized yet mimicking old XUL treeview API. The
virtualized-table sits on top on a raw-to-the-metal,
interpreted-at-runtime JS based windowing solution inspired by
react-window. React-based solutions could not be used because they were
slow and Zotero UI needs to be responsive and be able to
display thousands of rows in a treeview without any slowdowns.
- Attempts were made at making this screen-reader friendly, but yet to
be tested with something like JAWS
- RTL-friendly
- Styling and behaviour across all platforms was copied as closely as
possible to the original XUL tree
- Instead of row-based scroll snapping this has smooth-scrolling. If
you're using arrow keys to browse through the tree then it effectively
snap-scrolls. Current CSS snap scroll attributes do not seem to work in
the way we would require even on up-to-date browsers, yet alone the ESR
version of FX that Zotero is on. JS solutions are either terrible for
performance or produce inexcusable jitter.
- When dragging-and-dropping items the initial drag freezes the UI for
a fairly jarring amount of time. Does not seem to be fixable due to
the synchronous code that needs to be run in the dragstart handler.
Used to be possible to run that code async with the XUL tree.
- Item tree column picker no longer has a dedicated button. Just
right-click the columns. The column preferences (width, order, etc) are
no longer handled by XUL, which required a custom serialization and
storage solution that throws warnings in the developer console due to
the amount of data being stored. Might cause temporary freezing on HDDs
upon column resize/reorder/visibility toggling.
- Context menu handling code basically unchanged, but any UI changes
that plugins may have wanted to do (including adding new columns) will
have to be redone by them. No serious thought has gone into how plugin
developers would achieve that yet.
- Opens up the possibility for awesome alternative ways to render the
tree items, including things like multiple-row view for the item tree,
which has been requested for a long while especially by users switching
from other referencing software

TODO:
- Show child notes at top of notes list, with separate headers for "Item
Notes" and "All Notes"

library tab
- Show "All Notes" at top of standalone notes pane
- Add background color when clicking notes in standalone notes list
- Clean up back buttons
Mode button is still a placeholder but uses emoji to show the mode
- Use the "Chrome" theme
- Hide the gutter
- Don't highlight the active line
- Remove default iframe borders
- Focus the editor on window open
Ace instances (e.g., Scaffold) are now responsible for setting their own
theme (to avoid a flash of Monokai before a lighter theme appears).
- Properly truncate and ellipsize long tags
- Show scrollbar if tags go off the bottom of the pane
These both improve on the pre-React version, which didn't properly
truncate tags (at least in the current version, though I think it used
to) and scrolled the Add button off the top of the screen.
In particular, remove code related to opening/closing the Zotero pane,
which affects tests. The pane is now opened by default in Firefox, which
brings its behavior closer to the main version.
The menu includes all user interface options from the General
preferences (now removed from the preferences), toggles for the
collections pane, item pane, and tag selector, and, at long last, a
toggle for recursive collections ("Display Items from Subcollections").
The collections pane and item pane no longer reopen automatically when
restarting Zotero. People might still close them by mistake and not find
this menu, but we'll see how it goes.
Closes#1372
- Fix list download logic
- Close bar when clicking "View Item"
- Don't show "Move to Trash" if item isn't editable
- Download new list if cached version differs from client
- Reduce height of notification bar
- Switch to a slightly darker red
- Check for retracted items using data from Retraction Watch
- Show an X next to retracted items in the items list, and show a
scary message at the top of the item pane with more info and links.
- Lookup is done in a privacy-preserving manner using k-anonymity --
the server is unable to determine the specific items that exist in
the client, so people who don't sync don't need to share any library
data (though the server doesn't log the lookups anyway).
TODO:
- Pop up an alert when new items are found
- Show a confirmation prompt when citing a retracted item
- Support items without DOIs or PMIDs
- Add a proper PMID field and expand DOI to more item types so these
values don't need to be parsed out of Extra
- Clear the banner immediately when all possible fields are cleared
instead of waiting a few seconds
- Use react-virtualized to render tags on demand, reducing the number
of DOM elements from potentially tens of thousands to <100. This
requires tags to be absolutely positioned, so sizing and
positioning need to be precomputed rather than relying on CSS.
- Avoid unnecessary refreshes, speed up tag retrieval, and optimize
sorting
- Debounce reflowing when resizing tag selector
Also:
- Scroll to top when changing collections
- Allow tags to take up full width of tag selector without truncation
Closes#1649Closes#281
Adds a "Run as async function" checkbox that wraps the code in an async
function and displays the value returned by a `return` statement.
This also properly catches errors and displays them in the results pane.
This is a replacement for the Execute JS extension that could be used
with Zotero for Firefox.
To enable, go to the Config Editor in the Advanced pane of the
preferences and set devtools.chrome.enabled to true, and then restart
Zotero. A "Run JavaScript" option will appear in the Tools menu.
- Added icon-button UI code for the menubutton
- Upgrade to React 16 to allow non-standard attrs, such as `tooltiptext`
to support XUL tooltips
- Add i18n support for React UI elements
- Update tests for reactified tag selector
- Show a clearer message on a certificate error that includes the
underlying error, which should make debugging much simpler. (No more
checking in a browser and hoping it's the same connection.)
- Mention proxy server in message on startup proxy-check failure
- Include link to connection-error KB page on sync connection failure
Closes#1191Closes#1513
Use the new wizard for all imports (even if no Mendeley DB), and add a
page with a "Place imported collections and items into new collection"
option. If deselected, collections are added to the library root.
Accept Mendeley SQLite databases via File → Import… and perform a
direct import, including collections, timestamps, notes, attachments,
and extracted annotations.
When a Mendeley database is present, File → Import… shows a wizard that
lets you choose between a file and Mendeley for the source, and choosing
the latter shows a list of available databases in the Mendeley data
directory.
Known fields that aren't valid for a type are stored in Extra.
Files in the Mendeley 'Downloaded' folder are stored. Files elsewhere
are linked.
On some laptops, scaling settings might cause the DPI to drop between
96 (1x) and 144 (1.5x), and downscaled icons are probably better than
upscaled ones.
- Get rid of the hideous blue effect in the menubar and toolbar
- Slim down splitters
- Get rid of awful grippies except when collapsed (and make them
slightly less ugly in the collapsed state)
- Reduce spacing of tags in tag selector
- Tweak twisty spacing
- Get rid of stray line to the right of item pane tabs
We may still want to get rid of the menubar (#366), and we can do better
than the ugly gray backgrounds (#365), but this is a start.
I'm not sure if everything will look the same on all Windows versions,
so this will need a little testing.
Closes#367
We could potentially do more, but this is the narrowest the pane can be
with the left pane collapsed without starting to hide toolbar icons, so
let's try this. (This will still hide the sync icon if the left pane
isn't collapsed.)
Closes#675Closes#1183
- Enable/disable download mode drop-down for groups separately from user
library
- Fixing hiding of terms of service message when Zotero storage isn't
selected
Restores the "Restore to Zotero Server" functionality, now using the
API:
1. Get all remote keys and send `DELETE` for any that don't exist
locally.
2. Upload all local objects in full (non-patch) mode using only library
version so that the remotes are overwritten.
3. Reset file sync history, causing all files to be uploaded (or, more
likely, reassociated with existing remote files).
Since these are treated as regular updates on the server, they'll sync
down to other clients normally. Unsynced changes by other clients might
still trigger conflicts.
This and Reset File Sync History can also now be run on group libraries,
with a library selector in the Reset pane (which I forgot to do with
React).
The full sync option is now removed from the Reset pane, since there
wasn't ever really a reason to run it manually.
We should be able to reimplement Restore from Online Library (#1386)
using the inverse of this approach.
Closes#914
- New 2x toolbar button shapes and other icons from @johanneskrtek --
this HiDPI-ifies basically all graphics other than a few remaining item
type icons
- Use the Mac search dropmarker for all menu buttons, since it's wider
and more pleasant. Reduce menu button padding slightly to compensate.
- Better toolbar button state for inactive window and pressed state
- Fix dropmarker overlap in tag selector icon
Closes#347, Better/retina-style OS X toolbar icons
Closes#1339, Create new button PNGs for macOS
Can be an absolute path or 'profile' to use 'zotero' subdirectory of
profile directory as in earlier versions (but which won't be treated as
a legacy location eligible for migration)
Closes#1305
We were manually looking up the current locale in various places and
passing it to nsIStringBundleService::createBundle(), but that hasn't
even been a supported argument for years. (I assume it was a long time
ago?)
- Replace Developers section with text that links to RRCHNM, the credits
page, and Get Involved.
- Remove dedicated zotero.org link
- Only show link underlines on hover
