- New tag colors support, with the ability to assign colors to up to 6
tags per library. Tags with colors assigned will show up at the top of
the tag selector and can be added to (and removed from) selected items
by pressing the 1-6 keys on the keyboard. The tags will show up as
color swatches before an item's title in the items list.
- Synced settings, with Notifier triggers when they change and
accessible via the API (currently restricted on the server to
'tagColors', but available for other things upon request)
- Silent DB upgrades for backwards-compatible changes. We'll do
something fancier with async DB queries in 4.0, but this will work for
changes that can be made without breaking compatibility with older
clients, like the creation of new tables. The 'userdata' value is
capped at 76, while further increments go to 'userdata2'.
TODO:
- Try to avoid jitter when redrawing swatches
- Optimize tag color images for retina displays
- Redo attachment dots in flat style?
- Clear all colors from an item with 0 (as in Thunderbird), but I don't
think we can do this without undo
- If attachment exists at same relative path in new base directory,
leave it alone so that it continues to work.
- If attachment doesn't exist in new base directory, revert it to an
absolute path.
- If new base directory is an ancestor or descendant of the previous
base directory, adjust relative paths below the new directory so that
they keep working.
- More dialog changes
- Select current base directory in file picker when changing directory
- Always use .persistentDescriptor instead of initWithPath(), though it
probably doesn't matter, and wrap in try/catch in case the old setting
is broken in some way.
- New function Zotero.File.directoryContains(dir, file), since
nsIFile.contains() isn't recursive
- Don't use a private Zotero.Item property from outside to force path changes.
- Changed placeholder to just "attachments:" for consistency with "storage:"
- Reworked dialog text
- Use a fancier (and undocumented) filefield XUL element for path
- A few small code tweaks
- New promise-based architecture
- Library-specific file sync queues, allowing other libraries to
continue if there's an error in one library
- Library-specific sync errors, with error icons next to each library
- Changed file uploading in on-demand download mode, which had been missing
- On-demand download progress indicator in middle pane
- More accurate progress indicator
- Various tweaks and bug fixes
- Various future tweaks and bug fixes
Currently generates multi-source citations for multiple items for note
styles, but a list of note citations might be better.
Also, context menu option is unchanged, since it becomes very long if
you add "Citation/Bibliography".
Adds three new preferences controlling whether a new collection is created upon import:
- extensions.zotero.import.createNewCollection.fromFile
Controls whether a new collection is created by import from cog menu
- extensions.zotero.import.createNewCollection.fromClipboard
Controls whether a new collection is created by import from clipboard
- extensions.zotero.import.createNewCollection.fromFileOpenHandler
Controls whether a new collection is created when import is initiated by
double-clicking a file or by dragging it over Zotero. This preference applies only to
Zotero Standalone, and is configurable in the dialog that appears asking the user
to confirm the import.
Closes#19, [papercuts] (26) Clipboard import into an open collection
- Open in current window if one is already open
- Use a button instead of a label
- Don't show button if citation item is not linked to a Zotero item
This doesn't currently work if the Zotero pane has never been opened in the given window, because ZoteroPane.selectItem() appears to fail in that circumstance. This needs to be fixed.
The button wasn't opening the WebDAV URL within Standalone, and
XULRunner doesn't provide the whitelist interface anyway.
Documentation page still needed
Can choose to download files "at sync time" or "as needed"
On-demand defaults to on, but remains off for existing users
To-do:
- Handling of local and remote file changes on on-demand download
(currently if a file exists it isn't downloaded, which means a
remotely modified file won't be redownloaded in on-demand mode)
- Additional control over file downloading and retention
Other changes:
- Overhauled entire file syncing architecture
- Replaced numAttachments column with Note and Attachment columns with
dynamic icons to indicate status
- Double-clicking a parent with a missing best attachment and on-demand
downloading off no longer loads the parent URL
- Bugs
TODO: limit to large syncs?
This needs a lot of testing.
Also:
- Tweak pumpGenerator() wait level behavior to match Zotero.wait()
- If Zotero is closed in the top-most window, show a popup instead of the pane-covering progress meter, and take an optional icon in Zotero.showZoteroPaneProgressMeter() for use in the popup
- Restore protection against opening Zotero pane when Zotero.locked is set
- Display a nicer error if Zotero.DB.commitTransaction() is called without an active transaction
- Allow text with icons to extend to multiple lines in progressWindow popup
- Automatically use current window if one isn't specified in Zotero.repaint()
- Adds a per-library "Duplicate Items" virtual search to the source list -- shows up by default for "My Library" but can be added to and removed from all libraries
- Current matching algorithm is very basic: finds exact title matches (after normalizing case/diacritics/punctuation/spacing) and DOI/ISBN matches (untested)
- In duplicates view, sets are selected automatically; in other views, duplicate items can be selected manually and the merge interface can be brought up with "Merge Items" in the context menu
- Can select a master item and individual fields to merge from other versions
- Word processor integration code will automatically find mapped replacements and update documents with new item keys
Possible future improvements:
- Improved detection algorithms
- UI tweaks
- Currently if any items differ, all available versions will be shown as master item options, even if only one item is different; probably the earliest equivalent item should be shown for each distinct version
- Caching of results for performance
- Confidence scale
- Creator version selection (currently the creators from the chosen master item are kept)
- Merging of matching child items
- Better sorting of duplicates if not clustered together by the selected sort column
- Relation path compression when merging items that are already mapped to previously removed duplicates
Other changes in this commit:
- Don't show Trash in word processor integration windows
- Consider items in trash to be missing in word processor documents
- Selection of special views (Trash, Unfiled, Duplicates) is now restored properly in new windows
- Disabled field transform context menu when item isn't editable
- Left/right arrow now expands/collapses all selected items instead of just the last-selected row
- Relation deletions are now synced
- The same items row is now reselected after item deletion
- (dev) Zotero.Item.getNotes(), Zotero.Item.getAttachments(), and Zotero.Item.getTags() now return empty arrays rather than FALSE if no matches -- tests on those return values in third-party code will need to be changed
- (dev) New function Zotero.Utilities.removeDiacritics(str, lowercaseOnly) -- could be used to generate ASCII BibTeX keys
- (dev) New 'tempTable' search condition can take a table to join against -- useful for implementing virtual source lists
- (dev) Significant UI code cleanup
- (dev) Moved all item pane content into itemPane.xul
- Probably various other things
Needless to say, this needs testing.
- Implement connector for Firefox (should switch in/out of connector mode automatically when Standalone is launched or closed, although this has only been tested extensively on OS X)
- Share core translation code between Zotero and connectors
Still to be done:
- Run translators in non-Fx connectors (this works in theory, but it's not currently enabled for any translators)
- Show translation results in non-Fx connectors
- Ability to translate to server when Zotero Standalone is not running
Adds "Show Unfiled Items" context menu to libraries, which adds a virtual saved search for unfiled items. Right-click, Remove to hide. Per-library visibility is saved in prefs and persists across restarts.
Implemented as 'unfiled' search condition, but not accessible via search UI
Should probably use a different color icon to differentiate from real saved searches
also adds a parameter to disable proxy redirection by domain (although if I had known how much work would be involved in implementing this before I started, I wouldn't have bothered)

This can't yet sync, so upping sync API version and delaying dev XPI build.
- Fix search for January dates
- Support 'yesterday'/'today'/'tomorrow' and localized equivalents (case-insensitive) in date searches (e.g., [Date Added] [is] ['yesterday'])
- Make "Saved Search" a separate search condition from 'Collection' in drop-down menu
- Better handle invalid search conditions
- (Dev) Saved search conditions are now 'collection' and 'savedSearch' rather than 'collectionID' and 'savedSearchID', though the latter can be used as shortcuts when adding
This could use some testing.
- Show appropriate message when moving items to trash
- Unbind delete action from Backspace on Windows, where it's non-standard
- Fixed some inconsistencies in Cmd/Ctrl-Delete behavior -- Cmd-Delete will move item to trash without prompt in Library and move items to trash with a prompt in collection or search
API changes:
- Zotero.Items.erase(), Zotero.Item.erase(), and Zotero.ItemTreeView.deleteSelection() no longer takes eraseChildren parameter
- Group file sync via Zotero File Storage
- Split file syncing into separate modules for ZFS and WebDAV
- Dragging items between libraries copies child notes, snapshots/files, and links based on checkboxes for each (enabled by default) in the Zotero preferences
- Sync errors now trigger an exclamation/error icon separate from the sync icon, with a popup window displaying the error and an option to report it
- Various errors that could cause perpetual sync icon spinning now stop the sync properly
- Zotero.Utilities.md5(str) is now md5(strOrFile, base64)
- doPost(), doHead(), and retrieveSource() now takes a headers parameter instead of requestContentType
- doHead() can now accept an nsIURI (with login credentials), is a background request, and isn't cached
- When library access or file writing access is denied during sync, display a warning and then reset local group to server version
- Perform additional steps (e.g., removing local groups) when switching sync users to prevent errors
- Compare hash as well as mod time when checking for modified local files
- Don't trigger notifications when removing groups from the client
- Clear relation links to items in removed groups
- Zotero.Item.attachmentHash property to get file MD5
- importFromFile() now takes libraryID as a third parameter
- Zotero.Attachments.getNumFiles() returns the number of files in the attachment directory

- Removed Zotero.File.getFileHash() in favor of updated Zotero.Utilities.md5()
- Zotero.File.copyDirectory(dir, newDir) copies all files from dir into newDir
- Preferences shuffling: OpenURL to Advanced, import/export character set options to Export, "Include URLs of paper articles in references" to Styles
- Other stuff I don't remember
Suffice it to say, this could use testing.

The database is scanned for each citation, and positioning is adjusted automatically for footnotes. Currently, this won't work with names with accents, but I'll get to that.
- fixes NCBI PubMed translator type (should be 12, since it's a search translator as well as a web translator)
- fixes a bug passing multiple translators to translate.setTranslator()
- increases priority of CrossRef translator
- makes sync animated arrow progress indicator into a general CSS class (zotero-small-progress-indicator) so that the same progress indicator can be used for lookup. if this is confusing, we could use something else instead.
- Only one preference for recognizing proxies for transparent redirection
- Blacklists sites and http://%h/%p
- Fixes to EZProxy
This will clear all existing proxies from Zotero
Ben's duplicate detection code, with the integration reworked a bit
Very rough, so currently requires creation of a boolean extensions.zotero.debugShowDuplicates pref to view the Actions menu option
