By prompting after 3 seconds we catch a lot of people who click through
the prompt without bothering to read or figure out what it does and then
come to the forums report the citing "bugs". An increased timeout will
catch less people and those who are caught are possibly more likely to
figure out how delayed citing updates work since they would greatly
benefit from it.
The old recognizer code only used CrossRef, and the new code copied
that, but I think the old code simply predated additional DOI
translators and was never updated.
- 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
