- Add a File Handling section to the General pane of the preferences,
and move several prefs from Miscellaneous to there
- Add a UI to that section for choosing the PDF handler
- Update Zotero.launchFileWithApplication() to use /usr/bin/open on
macOS if the handler is an .app (which it will be if set through the
chooser, since it's limited to Mac applications, though an executable
can still be set via the hidden pref if desired for some reason)
- Move prefs for style/translator updates and translator error reporting
(which isn't particularly relevant anymore in the client) to Advanced
By default the PDF handler chooser says "System Default", which isn't
the nicest thing, and there's probably a way to get/guess the system
default, since Firefox seems to know it (at least on macOS), but I
couldn't quickly find a way to do it.
Addresses #1450
Various animated things (search spinner, progress meters) were using CPU
even when hidden, either because they weren't properly hidden
(equivalent of `display: none` rather than `visibility: hidden`) or
because of bizarre Firefox bugs with progress meters on Linux.
Addresses #1455
Configurable via extensions.zotero.fileHandler.pdf hidden pref for now,
though we'll probably make it a visible pref.
We also appear to have been doing blocking launches when launch()
failed, which may have been causing UI hangs when opening files on some
Linux installations. (I'm not sure if that's an issue with recent
Firefox builds. launch() works on Ubuntu 17.10.) All launches are now
async.
This is a rewritten version of PR #1450 by @ehhc.
Closes#1450
- 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
When loading the first note of a session in the right-hand pane or when
loading a note in the separate window, if you made a change and then
pressed Undo twice (or maybe only once in some situations), it could
undo to empty (though you could usually Redo to restore it).
Add newly added attachments to a queue, start processing it after five
seconds have passed since the last attachment was added, and process
another every half second after that unless another is added.
This queue won't survive a restart, so the queue should really be in the
DB, but this should avoid problems when adding multiple attachments at
once.
Addresses #1284
Applies to dragging to the collections pane or the items pane, adding
via New Item menu, or saving via the connector server
If the renaming pref is enabled, the PDF is renamed after recognition.
Can be disabled in the preferences
Closes#917
TinyMCE triggers a focus on the window itself, which means that the
window steals focus when an attachment is created even if another Zotero
window is in front. Instead, do a manual focus in the external note
window, which is the one place I could find where we rely on it (though
there might be others).
Do cleanup on 'unload' rather than 'close' (which is limited to a click
on the close button and doesn't get called for win.close()) and clear
the queue after each test.
When Window is accessed from another scope (e.g., ItemTreeView), the
`let` somehow prevents Zotero_RecognizePDF_Dialog from showing up on the
Window object like all the other objects loaded via <script>.
Automatic renaming is now done for dragging of an external file onto an
item (as added in 7cb95f41) as well as dragging as a linked file,
dragging a non-native (not text or HTML) URL, "Attach Link to File…",
"Attach Stored Copy of File…", and "Retrieve Metadata for PDF". It only
applies if a single file is being added and if the parent item has no
non-HTML attachments. By default, the renaming only applies to PDFs, but
this can be changed with the renameAttachmentFiles.automatic.fileTypes
hidden pref.
A new General pref, "Automatically rename attachment files using parent
metadata", controls whether the renaming happens.
Files saved via web translators are renamed regardless of this pref,
because they would often be gibberish otherwise.
Closes#113
Check file-editing access for the group from the API before offering to
reset, update the filesEditable setting properly, and restart the sync
automatically after resetting.
Rather than requiring translators to explicitly set a referrer, as
proposed in #772 and #1375, this simply sets it to the URL where the
save button was triggered. This fixes the Project Euclid example
in #772. It's possible it won't fix all cases, since the translator might
build the URL manually or via an intermediate page, but hopefully it
will fix the majority of cases.
I guess there's a possibility that this would break something that
currently works, but it's hard to imagine a site would block based on
the wrong referrer from the right site and not block on no referrer.
Unlike #1375, this doesn't bother with the referrer for native downloads
(e.g., snapshots or images). The former probably don't need it, and the
latter should probably be switched to use `saveURI()` anyway.
This might also fixzotero/translators#523 (SSRN) if the translator
allowed it.
Closes#1375
In Firefox 52, `FileUtils.getFile()` tries to create the path to the
file even if the path array is empty. (In later versions (maybe in 54,
which we're using on macOS) it only does this if more than one path
component is provided.) We only need the special directory anyway, so we
can just use `getDir()`.
Follow-up to 4bbae6e17
We're now using Zotero.HTTP.request(), which does its own checking for
security errors, so there's no need to do WebDAV-specific checks (though
we could consider checking for Zotero.HTTP.SecurityError and showing
more specific messages, since a self-signed certificate is more likely
in the case of WebDAV).
If a server returns an invalid HTTP response (e.g., Content-Encoding:
gzip with a plaintext body, a.k.a. NS_ERROR_INVALID_CONTENT_ENCODING)
but we can still parse a 4xx or 5xx HTTP response code, use that for the
XHR status, since it might be enough for what we need to do (e.g.,
verify a 404 from a WebDAV server). This fixes a current problem with
Box [1].
Also fix a "msg is not defined" error when the XHR status is 0 but the
SSL connection is fine and include the channel and response status on
the UnexpectedStatusException object (though both of these would now
only happen on an invalid 2xx response, when the XHR status would remain
as 0).

purgeDataObjects(), which runs at the beginning of the sync process,
uses transactions, and those can fail after the default wait timeout if
there's another active transaction. Instead, check explicitly for
another transaction and, if there is one, display a nice message and
wait for it to finish. This isn't foolproof, but it should reduce the
frequency of "operation timed out" sync errors. (Avoiding all long
transactions would be a better solution.)
If a transaction took over 30 seconds and another transaction timed out
waiting for it, the second transaction would reset the notifier queue,
but if the first transaction then tried to queue an event, it would fail
with this error and roll back. (It would be nice to figure out why
transactions are taking over 30 seconds, though.)
- Updates /saveItems and /saveSnapshot to take a sessionID
- Provides a list of editable collections in the current library
- Adds an /updateSession method that takes a sessionID and updates the
collection and tags of any items saved via that operation (and changes
the currently selected collection)
Cross-library changes are not yet supported
This is a simplified version of the fix from #872. Unlike the proposal
in #36, this doesn't require all child items to be selected, since in a
search some children might be grayed out. If the child of an unselected
parent item is included, the drag isn't allowed.
Closes#36
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.)
