When starting in Connector mode (i.e. Standalone is open), Zotero first starts in Full mode, looks for Standalone, then "shuts down" and restarts in Connector mode. `Zotero.shutdown()` returns a promise which is then followed up by a `Zotero.init` call. Thus, when starting in Connector mode, Zotero initialization is asynchronous and makes it possible for `Zotero_Browser.init()` to be called before `Zotero.initialized` is true, which prevents `Zotero_Browser` from initializing. Additionally, even if `Zotero_Browser.init()` is called after Zotero is initialized in Connector mode, it is possible that `Zotero_Browser.init()` will be called _after_ the "load" event for browser.xul has already fired, so `chromeLoad` is never called. This patch ensures that both of these race conditions are taken into account.
Can be triggered by double-clicking or Return and also by F2 on
Windows/Linux
This does mean double-clicking no longer toggles the collection open and
closed. If we wanted to preserve that we could probably capture the
double-click.
Closes Trac ticket 231, only 8 years later
Previously, position/size was persisted for each item's note
individually, but that meant that there was no default position/size for
the note window and an entry was created in localstore.rdf for
every note opened in a new window. There's also a good chance people had
no idea what was going on.
- 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
That was easy. (@simonster, since you disabled this originally, any reason not
to do this, other than the extra tab stop? At least in current Firefox
versions, this is the default behavior.)
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.)
The previous version would keep only the last instance.
This version requires the array to contain only primitives of a single
data type, but I think that's OK for all of our uses. (This version
should also be faster.)
