Show a popup if DB corruption is detected with a warning to avoid
storing the data directory in cloud storage, a link to a support page
with more information, and a button to restore from the last automatic
backup.
Also show the warning about cloud storage again after restoring from the
last automatic backup.
- Include file path
- Show separate message for linked files mentioning Linked Attachment
Base Directory
- Link to separate support page for linked files
Say "Use the [local|remote] version for all remaining conflicts" for
everything instead of saying "Use [local|remote] fields for all
remaining conflicts" for some conflicts.
This also fixes a test failure after 54343c49fb.
This changes the way item types, item fields, creator types, and CSL
mappings are defined and handled, in preparation for updated types and
fields.
Instead of being predefined in SQL files or code, type/field info is
read from a bundled JSON file shared with other parts of the Zotero
ecosystem [1], referred to as the "global schema". Updates to the
bundled schema file are automatically applied to the database at first
run, allowing changes to be made consistently across apps.
When syncing, invalid JSON properties are now rejected instead of being
ignored and processed later, which will allow for schema changes to be
made without causing problems in existing clients. We considered many
alternative approaches, but this approach is by far the simplest,
safest, and most transparent to the user.
For now, there are no actual changes to types and fields, since we'll
first need to do a sync cut-off for earlier versions that don't reject
invalid properties.
For third-party code, the main change is that type and field IDs should
no longer be hard-coded, since they may not be consistent in new
installs. For example, code should use `Zotero.ItemTypes.getID('note')`
instead of hard-coding `1`.

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
Without an accompanying "Restore from Online Library" option, which
doesn't currently exist, "Restore to Online Library" can be interpreted
two ways. It's clear if you read the text below or the confirmation
prompt, but if you don't you might accidentally do something very bad.
This was almost certainly also translated in misleading ways in other
locales.
- Fix don't-show-again checkbox for non-DB items
- Tweak warning text
- Don't show comma after year if year is missing (which it shouldn't be)
- Remove redundant try/catch
- 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
