- Add Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-I for "Import…"
- Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-V apparently pastes without formatting, so don't override it.
Instead, add a shortcut key to the menu option, defaulting to
Cmd-Option-Shift-I/Ctrl-Alt-Shift-I
- The I in both is now localizable
Before 3.4.2, `yield` in a Bluebird `coroutine()` released Zalgo if an
already-resolved promise (e.g., from `Promise.resolve()`) was yielded,
continuing immediately instead of on the next turn of the event loop. We
apparently relied on that broken behavior in a few places, particularly from
`Zotero.DB.waitForTransaction()`. All the transaction-queueing stuff probably
needs to be reevaluated in general, but for now, mirror the previous possibly
ill-advised behavior by checking explicitly for a transaction before yielding
on `waitForTransaction()` (as well as the result of a 'load' event from
`libraryTreeView`).
This moves most selection logic from ZoteroPane.selectItem() into
collectionTreeView::selectItem() so that it can be used in the
edit-citation dialog.
Unlike itemTreeView::selectItem(), which only selects within a given
items tree, this function automatically switches to a library root if
necessary. ZoteroPane.selectItem() remains and does a little bit extra
(unminimizing Zotero, focusing the items pane) in addition to calling
collectionTreeView::selectItem().
* Mark feedItems read in a single batch SQL update
* Automatically remove old feed items
* User-facing preference globally and per-feed for feed item expiration
- Move openPreferences() to Zotero.Utilities.Internal
- Add support for opening windows when there's no active browser window
- Allow selecting prefpane tab by id via 'tab' property
- openPreferences() now takes an object as its second argument with a
'tab', 'tabIndex', or 'action' property
This also reworks how the collection context menu is built to do more in
JS instead of XUL, though it can't do it all in JS because some
localized strings are in zotero.dtd and are used in standalone.xul too.
Previously they only showed for My Library by default, which I suspect
meant that most people didn't know you could get them for other
libraries...
This hides "Duplicate Items" and "Unfiled Items" from the context menu
when they're active, which may or may not be desirable (but we don't
show, say, "Trash" in the context menu).
Also tweaks selection behavior after hide to select next appropriate row
instead of the parent library.
I originally attempted this with zotero-persist and column attributes,
but there is no good way to make it succinct paramswise and the code was
painful to look at too. Thus different group settings are stored in
preferences.
Currently there are two view groups: "feed" and "default". Items view
columns have two new attributes:
`default-in` - a space separated list of views in which a column is
visible by default
`disabled-in` - a space separated list of views in which a column is
disabled by default (invisible + not possible to enable)
Fields not parsed for feeds are now disabled.
Also changes Zotero.Item.prototype.clone() to take an `options` object for its
second parameter instead of a boolean `skipTags`. The object includes
`skipTags` as well as a new `includeCollections` property to add the new item
to the same collections.
WPD code hasn't been updated in many years, and there was an issue with
document permissions in 5.0. We'll need to replace nsIWBP in Electron,
but this will do for now.
Attachments are opened using file:// URIs instead of
zotero://attachment, which is what Standalone does anyway. Ancient HTML
annotations and highlights won't be displayed anymore, but I'm not sure
they worked anyway, and it hasn't been possible to create them in years.
We might be able to write out existing annotations to notes.
iframes are skipped during saving, in an attempt to reduce the number of
junk ad files. JS can still cause problems with viewing, so we might
still want to either disable scripts or force the viewed page offline
(if such a thing is possible).
There might be issues with auxiliary filename length/characters during
cross-platform file syncing. (We modified the WPD code to shorten/clean
them.)
Previously, item-dependent menu options in the context menu of
collectionsTreeRow types other than 'collection' weren't updated after
the asynchronous loading of the items. The menu is now updated for all
types, so, e.g., "Empty Trash" is now updated properly after items in
the trash have been loaded.
Otherwise, when right-clicking on a collection that's not currently
selected, some of the menu items appear gray at first, and a second
right-click is necessary after the items have loaded. This way the menu
items turn black once the items have loaded.
Items in a library are now loaded only when a library is clicked on and
at sync time. There might be some other areas where they need to be
loaded or where this causes problems (e.g., drag and drop, word
processor integration).
And without extra init() call
This fixes the button being initialized before Zotero.hiDPI is set, resulting
in a low-res icon until the target is changed.
The on-change auto-sync now syncs only the modified library, and does so
quite efficiently (and should be able to be made more efficient), so we
might be able to reduce the timeout below 15 seconds.
- Hide notes, tags and related for feed items in itembox
- Add feed support for <enclosure> elements
- Add feed syncing methods for synced settings (additional work is
needed on the sync architecture to download synced settings from the
server)
- Change feed item clear policy to be less aggressive
- Adjust for deasyncification
- Disable translate-on-select
- Closeadomasven/zotero#7, Remove context menu items from feeds
While trying to get translation and citing working with asynchronously
generated data, we realized that drag-and-drop support was going to
be...problematic. Firefox only supports synchronous methods for
providing drag data (unlike, it seems, the DataTransferItem interface
supported by Chrome), which means that we'd need to preload all relevant
data on item selection (bounded by export.quickCopy.dragLimit) and keep
the translate/cite methods synchronous (or maintain two separate
versions).
What we're trying instead is doing what I said in #518 we weren't going
to do: loading most object data on startup and leaving many more
functions synchronous. Essentially, this takes the various load*()
methods described in #518, moves them to startup, and makes them operate
on entire libraries rather than individual objects.
The obvious downside here (other than undoing much of the work of the
last many months) is that it increases startup time, potentially quite a
lot for larger libraries. On my laptop, with a 3,000-item library, this
adds about 3 seconds to startup time. I haven't yet tested with larger
libraries. But I'm hoping that we can optimize this further to reduce
that delay. Among other things, this is loading data for all libraries,
when it should be able to load data only for the library being viewed.
But this is also fundamentally just doing some SELECT queries and
storing the results, so it really shouldn't need to be that slow (though
performance may be bounded a bit here by XPCOM overhead).
If we can make this fast enough, it means that third-party plugins
should be able to remain much closer to their current designs. (Some
things, including saving, will still need to be made asynchronous.)
Also:
- Remove last-sync-time mechanism for both WebDAV and ZFS, since it can
be determined by storage properties (mtime/md5) in data sync
- Add option to include synced storage properties in item toJSON()
instead of local file properties
- Set "Fake-Server-Match" header in setHTTPResponse() test support
function, which can be used for request count assertions -- see
resetRequestCount() and assertRequestCount() in webdavTest.js
- Allow string (e.g., 'to_download') instead of constant in
Zotero.Sync.Data.Local.setSyncState()
- Misc storage tweaks
This changes Zotero.Translate.Base.translate() to take an options object (in
order to take a 'collections' parameter, which is passed to the
Zotero.Translate.ItemSaver constructor). The old parameters are still supported
with a deprecation warning, and there may be other places that still need to be
updated.
Disallow everything other than adding a child note in My Publications,
since the wizard only shows on drag (currently, at least). Need to
disable translation separately.
Also show "Delete Item[s]..." in the trash context menu, and hide rather
than disable various menu options.
Addresses #703 -- still need to disable saved search saving
This mostly gets ZFS file syncing and file conflict resolution working
with the API sync process. WebDAV will need to be updated separately.
Known issues:
- File sync progress is temporarily gone
- File uploads can result in an unnecessary 412 loop on the next data
sync
- This causes Firefox to crash on one of my computers during tests,
which would be easier to debug if it produced a crash log.
Also:
- Adds httpd.js for use in tests when FakeXMLHttpRequest can't be used
(e.g., saveURI()).
- Adds some additional test data files for attachment tests
If Standalone is closed in full-screen mode in 10.11, 'sizemode' on the main
window is persisted as 'fullscreen'. On reopen, the window doesn't go into
full-screen mode, but it still lacks menubar or titlebar. This patch forces the
window into 'normal' mode if it was left in 'fullscreen'.
(Firefox appears to ignore 'fullscreen' without actually changing the value,
but I didn't find the code that handles that.)
There's a lot more to do, and this isn't ready for actual usage, but the
basic functionality is mostly in place and has decent test coverage. It
can successfully upgrade a library last used with classic syncing and
pull down changes via the API. Uploading mostly works but is currently
disabled for safety until it has better test coverage.
Downloaded JSON is first saved to a cache table, which is then used to
populate other tables and later for generating PATCH requests and
automatically resolving conflicts (since it shows what was changed
locally and what was changed remotely). Objects with unmet dependencies
or unknown fields are skipped for now but don't block the rest of the
sync.
Some of the bigger remaining to-dos:
- Tests for uploading
- Re-do the preferences to get an API key
- File sync integration
- Full-text syncing integration
- Manual conflict resolution (though this already includes much smarter
conflict handling that automatically resolves many conflicts)
(I don't see any obvious reason I can't do this. We should probably clean this
up later, not call the endpoint "saveSnapshot", etc. Also, is there a reason it
doesn't follow the snapshot pref by default?)
Since modal windows (e.g., the Create Bib window and the Quick Copy site
editor window) can't use yield, style retrieval
(Zotero.Styles.getVisible()/getAll()) is now synchronous, depending on a
previous async Zotero.Styles.init(). The translator list is generated in
the prefs window and passed into the Quick Copy site editor, but it's
possible the translators API should be changed to make getTranslators()
synchronous with a prior init() as well.
- When relinking a missing stored file, copy it into the attachment's
storage directory automatically
- Previously, selecting a file outside the attachment subdir would
just result in a missing attachment, since it only looks for stored
files within the subdir
- Display an error message if a Windows shortcut (.lnk) is added via
drag-and-drop or via a file dialog on non-Windows systems, until we
can figure out how to determine the original file
- Shortcuts can cause errors during syncing, for unclear reasons
- Neither nsIFile::copyToFollowingLinks() nor nsIFile::target work for
me to get the original file, even when nsIFile::isSymlink() returns
true
- Windows file dialogs seem to automatically resolve shortcuts, so
it's only an issue there for drag-and-drop
- Disallow hidden files from being selected in relink dialog
- I think some people on Windows with hidden files shown relink the
.zotero* files that show up when they click Locate, which causes
file sync errors. Which brings us to...
- Fix file sync errors for *.lnk and .zotero* files
- Ignore existing .zotero* attachment files, treating the files as
missing instead to encourage relinking
- Strip leading period in getValidFileName() to prevent added files from
being hidden
- This allows hidden files to be added explicitly; they just won't
stay that way in the storage directory
(These things should have tests, but that will have to happen on the 5.0
branch.)
- Simplified schema
- Tags are now added without reloading entire tag selector
- On my system, adding 400 tags to an item (separately, with the tag
selector updating each time) went from 59 seconds to 42. (Given that
it takes only 13 seconds with the tag selector closed, though,
there's clearly more work to be done.)
- Tag selector now uses HTML flexbox (in identical fashion, for now, but
with the possibility of fancier changes later, and with streamlined
logic thanks to the flexbox 'order' property)
- Various async fixes
- Tests
And simplify tree view load event handling, which may or may not have
been contributing to intermittent test failures, but is cleaner this way
regardless.
These previously returned an itemID, but now that new saved items can be edited
without a refetch, they should just return the new item.
(Possible I missed a few spots where these are called.)
Change all attachment functions to take parameter objects, including a
'collections' property to assign collections. (Previously, calling code
assigned collections separately, which required a nested transaction,
which is no longer possible.)
Fixes#723, Can't attach files by dragging
Wait for the pane's collectionSelected() to finish before returning from
collectionTreeView select methods (e.g., selectLibrary()), and wait for
previous items view to finish loading before creating a new one in
collectionSelected(). This ensures that the items view has been created (though
not loaded) before returning from a select. The tree can still get a bit
confused switching between collections, but I think we're getting closer to
fixing that.
Also switch the items tree to use the same pattern.
This also fixes dragging items to collections (#731).
Store and check the last selected items in ZoteroPane.itemSelected() to
see if it's necessary to refresh the item pane. This prevents loss of
textbox focus if another write occurs while editing a field.
Also optimize row adding/removing in itemTreeView.js
Fix a couple cases of lost text field focus after an edit, including
focusing of the Title field after using New Item when a field is already
being edited and has a changed value.
Also, in tests, select My Library and wait for items to load when using
the loadZoteroPane() support function. We could add a parameter to skip
that or move it to a separate function, but the code to detect it is a
bit convoluted and it's a prerequisite for many tests, so it's handy to
have a function for it.
- Add an 'exclusive' option to transactions that causes them to block other
transactions and wait for other transactions to finish before starting,
instead of nesting
- Resolve Zotero.DB.waitForTransaction() promise before returning from
executeTransaction()
- A side effect of the above: wait for a newly created item to be selected in
the middle pane and rendered in the right-hand pane before returning from
executeTransaction()
- Don't save items multiple times when adding/removing a non-final creator in
the Info pane
- Use a simpler, non-recursive method for focusing the next field in the Info
pane; this prevents "too much recursion" errors if something causes the
right-hand pane not to be rendered when expected
Show a wizard after items are dragged to My Publications choosing
whether to include files and notes and choosing sharing settings for the
items. Sharing options are Creative Commons licenses, CC0, "All rights
reserved", or keeping the existing Rights field if available.
Also blocks collections, searches, linked file attachments, and
top-level attachments/notes from My Publications at the data layer, but
not yet from the UI in all places (so it can crash if you try).
Todo:
- Block certain UI actions with nice messages
- Show a nice scrollable list of items in the wizard to allow selecting
specific files/notes, instead of just having checkboxes for files and
notes that apply to all dragged items
- Show an explanation of My Publications in the right-hand pane when no
items are selected
- Maybe adjust handling when no attached files/notes, since it might be
a bit alarming at the moment to see sharing options for metadata
entries
Object contains 'libraryID' and 'key' properties
This is due to changed array destructuring behavior in Firefox. Previously,
`var [foo, bar] = maybeArrayMaybeFalse()` always worked, leaving foo and bar
undefined if the function returned false. Now (with ES6, I assume), if the
function returns false it results in a "false[Symbol.iterator] is not a
function" error. But `var {libraryID, key} = false` works as expected, leaving
both values undefined, so instead we can just return an object with those
properties from getLibraryAndKeyFromID(). To assign to different variables, use
`var {libraryID, key: parentItemKey} = ...`.
Search condition ids are now indexed from 0, and always saved
contiguously (no more 'fixGaps' option), since they're just in an array
in the API. (They're still returned as an object from
Zotero.Search.prototype.getConditions() because it's easier for the
advanced search window to not have to deal with shifting ids between
saves.)
I don't think there's any way for this to happen short of manual
preference editing, and the pane width would have to be exactly 250px,
and it's pretty harmless anyway, but might as well be safe.
There are hundreds more, but these are all the ones that generate warnings in
the console at startup. XPCOM/XBL ones don't seem to do so, so we can ignore
those for now (and hopefully not bother with them on 4.0). Instances in
translators do generate warnings.
Addresses #656
Note that this loses conflicting changes to translate_item.js from 849803473a,
so those will need to be reapplied if applicable. /cc @aurimasv, @mtd91429
Adds a "My Publications" source after "My Library", implemented as a
separate library. Top-level items can be dragged in and removed.
(This doesn't currently work without disabling Quick Copy.)
Also:
- Make "Group Libraries" an unselectable header instead of a container,
and don't indent group libraries
- Fix relation purging, which maybe never worked
- Pass only libraryID/key on deletes (which should speed them up)
- Fix async item cloning/copying
- Fix miscellaneous other bugs
To-do:
- Confirmation dialog on drag
- API support
0 allowed for some accidental behavior due to old code expecting NULL,
and it prevented easy checks (``if (!libraryID)``) for a passed
libraryID. Code now uses Zotero.Libraries.userLibraryID instead of a
hard-coded value (except in schema.js). Functions can still make
libraryID optional, but they should then use
Zotero.Libraries.userLibraryID if that's to mean the user library.
There might be some code that still expects 0 that I missed.
This belongs to issue #509 and was asked several times in the forum.
* Add attribute `collapse="after"` to the splitter and add a grippy element.
* To remember its state after restart I copied `zotero-persist="state"`.
* Handle zotero-items-splitter the same as zotero-collections-splitter in zotero-platform/mac/overlay.css
* Change min-width to 250px for #zotero-item-pane in zotero/overlay.css.
* Update the function `updateToolbarPosition` in zotero/zoteroPane.js:
* The width of the items-toolbar is corrected if the left pane is collapsed (and the icons are grouped on the left margin together).
* If the right pane is collapsed, then the items-toolbar is made flexible while making the item-toolbar unflexible. As a result the search box and locate icon are flushed right to the other icons.
Generated files for a more robust attached-link-dialog and localized strings
* AttachLink.js
* AttachLink.xul
zotero/xpcom/attachments.js
* created function cleanAttachmentURI
* in function linkFromURL, removed the regex constraints and the comment list of valid protocols
* removed outdated function declaration from beginning of script
* Improved automatic title generation mechanism
Yosemite introduces a new search textbox shape, but Firefox still uses
the old focus ring shape until 34, so we fake the old searchbox shape
for earlier versions.
It's way too slow, though, since the whole list is regenerated after
merging.
Fixes#519
Also:
- The arguments to Zotero.Item.prototype.clone() have changed, and it no
longer takes an existing item or copies primary data. To create an
in-memory copy of an item, use the new Zotero.Item.prototype.copy().
- Zotero.Item.prototype.getUsedFields() now gets in-memory fields rather
than the fields in the database
- Protocol handler extensions can now handle promises and can also make
data available as it's ready instead of all at once (e.g., reports now
output one entry at a time)
- zotero:// URL syntaxes are now more consistent and closer to the web
API (old URLs should work, but some may currently be broken)
Also:
- Code to generate server API, currently available for testing via
zotero://data URLs but eventually moving to HTTP -- zotero://data URLs match
web API URLs, with a different prefix for the personal library (/library vs.
/users/12345)
- Miscellaneous fixes to data objects
Under the hood:
- Extensions now return an AsyncChannel, which is an nsIChannel implementation
that takes a promise-yielding generator that returns a string,
nsIAsyncInputStream, or file that will be used for the channel's data
- New function Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getAsyncInputStream() takes a
generator that yields either promises or strings and returns an async input
stream filled with the yielded strings
- Zotero.Router parsers URLs and extract parameters
- Zotero.Item.toResponseJSON()
This required doing additional caching at startup (e.g., item types and fields)
so that various methods can remain synchronous.
This lets us switch back to using the current Sqlite.jsm. Previously we were
bundling the Fx24 version, which avoided freezes with locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE
with both sync and async queries.
Known broken things:
- Autocomplete
- Database backup
- UDFs (e.g., REGEXP function used in Zotero.DB.getNextName())
- Zotero.Item.prototype.getFilePath() is now synchronous, with a separate async getFilePathAsync()
- getFile() no longer takes a skipExistsCheck parameter, since that shouldn't happen synchronously
- Zotero.Items.getByLibraryAndKey() is now synchronous again, with a
separate Zotero.Items.getByLibraryAndKeyAsync() - I haven't fully
tested this, so I'm not sure if there will need to be any async
calls.
- Some of the full-text indexing functions now take file paths instead of nsIFile objects
- Zotero.File.getContentsAsync() can now take a string path as well
Promise-based rewrite of most of the codebase, with asynchronous database and file access -- see https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/518 for details.
WARNING: This includes backwards-incompatible schema changes.
An incomplete list of other changes:
- Schema overhaul
- Replace main tables with new versions with updated schema
- Enable real foreign key support and remove previous triggers
- Don't use NULLs for local libraryID, which broke the UNIQUE index
preventing object key duplication. All code (Zotero and third-party)
using NULL for the local library will need to be updated to use 0
instead (already done for Zotero code)
- Add 'compatibility' DB version that can be incremented manually to break DB
compatibility with previous versions. 'userdata' upgrades will no longer
automatically break compatibility.
- Demote creators and tags from first-class objects to item properties
- New API syncing properties
- 'synced'/'version' properties to data objects
- 'etag' to groups
- 'version' to libraries
- Create Zotero.DataObject that other objects inherit from
- Consolidate data object loading into Zotero.DataObjects
- Change object reloading so that only the loaded and changed parts of objects are reloaded, instead of reloading all data from the database (with some exceptions, including item primary data)
- Items and collections now have .parentItem and .parentKey properties, replacing item.getSource() and item.getSourceKey()
- New function Zotero.serial(fn), to wrap an async function such that all calls are run serially
- New function Zotero.Utilities.Internal.forEachChunkAsync(arr, chunkSize, func)
- Add tag selector loading message
- Various API and name changes, since everything was breaking anyway
Known broken things:
- Syncing (will be completely rewritten for API syncing)
- Translation architecture (needs promise-based rewrite)
- Duplicates view
- DB integrity check (from schema changes)
- Dragging (may be difficult to fix)
Lots of other big and little things are certainly broken, particularly with the UI, which can be affected by async code in all sorts of subtle ways.
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
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.)
Previously Cmd-Shift-Z worked for redo in text areas (Abstract, Extra)
but would toggle the Zotero pane in regular text fields. This change
allows Redo to work as expected.
The search bar gets focus when you first open the Zotero pane, though,
so we don't redo there, since it would be annoying if you couldn't close
the pane immediately with the same shortcut.
If Zotero Standalone was opened before Firefox, closed, and opened
again, the user would see a message stating Zotero Standalone was open,
but the pane would not have closed. This was purely cosmetic.
- Refresh Unfiled Items view when items are added
- Fix brief freeze ("too much recursion") adding an item to a search
where the new item doesn't appear. Now, select the library root
instead if a manually added item doesn't appear in the current view.
- Fix immediate closing of title field when adding an item to a
collection rather than the library root
- Close Zotero pane before database is closed prior to reload, instead
of waiting until reload is complete
- Show an error message if Zotero Standalone is not accessible when it
should be
This change should improve Firefox startup time. If the Zotero pane is
opened before Zotero has initialized, the pane will be blocked with a
progress bar until it's done. Standalone currently does the same, but it
should be changed to just delay opening the window if possible.
The upgrade wizard has been disabled for schema upgrades, in the hope
that upgrades can be done in a way that won't break compatibility with
earlier versions (or that can at least be done in a way such that we can
put out point releases of the last major version that provide
compatibility during beta/post-upgrade periods).
This patch likely breaks many things, and definitely breaks connector
mode.
This change also removes upgrade steps for databases from Zotero 2.1b2
and earlier. Users with such databases will need to upgrade via Zotero
4.0.x first or delete their data directories and start anew. This should
only affect users who haven't opened Zotero since Nov. 2010.
- On manual sync or the first auto-sync of a session, check all files
- During other auto-syncs, check only files previously modified or
opened externally via Zotero (including Show File) within the last 3
hours
- Every 3 hours, do a full check of all files even if it's an auto-sync
- Spin event loop during synchronous file checks to avoid hanging the UI
- Zotero.Sync.Runner.sync() now takes an options object (e.g.,
options.background)
Todo:
- Provide feedback on last full check in sync icon tooltip?
- Auto-sync on app focus, if this speeds up syncs enough?
The Zotero shortcut keys, and their event.preventDefault(), were bound
to keydown, so shortcuts bound to keypress were still be called. This
moves most of the shortcut handling code into the keypress handler.
Fixes#344
It's not clear when this became an issue, but our usual background HTTP
requests (set that way to avoid triggering auth prompts when saving from
websites) weren't triggering proxy authentication dialogs, which was breaking
most network activity in Standalone. To fix this, we now make a foreground
request at startup to a file on S3 and resolve the Zotero.proxyAuthComplete
promise when we're done. Any network requests that want to wait for proxy
authentication can wait for that promise.
This behavior can be disabled via the triggerProxyAuthentication hidden pref.
Dual boot and VM setups worked, but only absolute paths were synced,
because syncing uses attachmentPath, which was resolving relative paths
itself (#51). attachmentPath now returns what's in the database (as it
did originally), and getFile() does the resolving instead.
This means that anything relying on attachmentPath directly needs to be
aware that it might get a placeholder-prefixed relative path.
- Catch additional errors on Windows (too-long paths, maybe aliases)
- Fix "Show File" button (which didn't show in some cases, at least on
Windows)
- Clarify error message
The hidden column caused collection names to be cut off unnecessarily,
and the extra icons were overly distracting. For now, just show the
first error that comes in in the main sync error panel, along with the
library name.
This is super annoying, but I can't seem to stop the separator row from
being selected in seltype="single" mode (where isSelectable() isn't
called). Until we have a better solution, at least clear the items list
and avoid an error.
- Remove all "Selected" from "Selected Item", because that's how a context menu works
- Change "Remove Selected Item" to "Remove Item from Collection" (fixes#122)
- Change "Delete Selected Item from Library" to "Move Item to Trash")
- Change "Remove" on Duplicate/Unfiled Items to "Hide" (fixes#122)
- Change "Create Parent Item from Selected Item" to "Create Parent Item"
- 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.
For at least one Windows user, a .docx file was being interpreted as
text/plain. Instead of relying entirely on the system, hard-code some
extensions we know. (More can be added.)
Also:
- Determine MIME type when opening files instead of using stored type,
since we might have gotten smarter
- 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
- If a regular item is selected, use that as the parent.
- If a child item is selected, use its parent as the parent.
- Otherwise create a standalone note.
This might have been limited to case-insensitive filesystems.
Also fix renaming when the previous filename didn't include an
extension. Before, a file named "test" would be renamed from parent with
".test" as the extension.
- Don't run idle sync if manual sync is required or Zotero is locked
- Don't clear sync error icon when opening pane
- Better debug message on pane open for syncing not being enabled
Deleting is currently very slow (which will be fixed on master), which
can cause long delays when auto-emptying items older at pane open.
Instead, empty 10 items after 5 minutes of idle, and then another 10
every 5 seconds until there are no more items to empty or the user is back.
Falls back to /usr/bin/xdg-open by default, configurable via
extensions.zotero.fallbackLauncher.unix (or .windows, though that
should be much rarer). Also used for file revealing.
If xdg-open fails, files launch via the external helper app dialog and
URLs just don't work.
Use nsIExternalProtocolService.loadUrl() as a fallback rather than window.loadURI()
If "Remember my choice for file links" is selected, there's currently
no way to change that in Standalone short of deleting mimeTypes.rdf.
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
- Properly strip newlines and tabs in filenames (broken since May 2011)
- If view isn't editable, don't show Locate button, since the updated path couldn't be sent back up
- Fix access error if a synced file needs to be renamed to be valid but user doesn't have group editing access
- Don't allow newlines in item titles (e.g., via copy/paste)
Also:
- Update trash icon properly when adding items to trash or emptying trash
- (dev) Zotero.Items.getDeleted() and Zotero.Items.emptyTrash() parameter order changed
- (dev) Zotero.Items.getDeleted() now returns an empty array rather than FALSE on no results
Group trash does not yet auto-empty
