- 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.
