- Render cell text in its native direction
- Fix context menu positioning
- Fix item box (localizations needed)
- Fix column resizing
- Fix bidi text in collection tree
- Always right-align in RTL, always left-align in LTR.
I'm going off advice from this excellent guide for RTL website design
by Ahmad Shadeed: https://rtlstyling.com/posts/rtl-styling#tables
- Join creators in the tree ("Smith and Jones") using a format string to
support languages like Arabic and Hebrew where there shouldn't be a
space after the "and".
- Fix tabs
- Fix toolbar on Mac, flip icons on other platforms
- Just a single huge commit. This has been developed over too long a
time, required many tiny changes across too many files and has seen too
many iterations to be separated into separate commits.
The original branch with all the messy commits will be kept around for
posterity
bb220ad0f2...adomasven:feature/react-item-tree
- Replaces XUL <tree> element across the whole zotero client codebase
with a custom supermegafast virtualized-table inspired by
react-virtualized yet mimicking old XUL treeview API. The
virtualized-table sits on top on a raw-to-the-metal,
interpreted-at-runtime JS based windowing solution inspired by
react-window. React-based solutions could not be used because they were
slow and Zotero UI needs to be responsive and be able to
display thousands of rows in a treeview without any slowdowns.
- Attempts were made at making this screen-reader friendly, but yet to
be tested with something like JAWS
- RTL-friendly
- Styling and behaviour across all platforms was copied as closely as
possible to the original XUL tree
- Instead of row-based scroll snapping this has smooth-scrolling. If
you're using arrow keys to browse through the tree then it effectively
snap-scrolls. Current CSS snap scroll attributes do not seem to work in
the way we would require even on up-to-date browsers, yet alone the ESR
version of FX that Zotero is on. JS solutions are either terrible for
performance or produce inexcusable jitter.
- When dragging-and-dropping items the initial drag freezes the UI for
a fairly jarring amount of time. Does not seem to be fixable due to
the synchronous code that needs to be run in the dragstart handler.
Used to be possible to run that code async with the XUL tree.
- Item tree column picker no longer has a dedicated button. Just
right-click the columns. The column preferences (width, order, etc) are
no longer handled by XUL, which required a custom serialization and
storage solution that throws warnings in the developer console due to
the amount of data being stored. Might cause temporary freezing on HDDs
upon column resize/reorder/visibility toggling.
- Context menu handling code basically unchanged, but any UI changes
that plugins may have wanted to do (including adding new columns) will
have to be redone by them. No serious thought has gone into how plugin
developers would achieve that yet.
- Opens up the possibility for awesome alternative ways to render the
tree items, including things like multiple-row view for the item tree,
which has been requested for a long while especially by users switching
from other referencing software
- Revert `notesList` to standalone notes mode only
- Fix splitter styling on Windows
- Fix `contextPane` performance fixes
- Add a customizable throttle function to `Zotero.Utilities`
- Fix reader tab selection issues
- Improve error handling in the new editor
- Update pdf-reader and zotero-note-editor submodules
- Fix contextPane child notes list
- Properly notify editor about new images
- Fix note title and body snippet extraction
- Persist right-hand pane state when switching tab
- Hopefully fix two panes visible at the same time
On some laptops, scaling settings might cause the DPI to drop between
96 (1x) and 144 (1.5x), and downscaled icons are probably better than
upscaled ones.
- 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
- New 2x toolbar button shapes and other icons from @johanneskrtek --
this HiDPI-ifies basically all graphics other than a few remaining item
type icons
- Use the Mac search dropmarker for all menu buttons, since it's wider
and more pleasant. Reduce menu button padding slightly to compensate.
- Better toolbar button state for inactive window and pressed state
- Fix dropmarker overlap in tag selector icon
Closes#347, Better/retina-style OS X toolbar icons
Closes#1339, Create new button PNGs for macOS
I guess the idea that switching to PNGs obviated the need for this was wishful
thinking (though it doesn't seem to be necessary for the single buttons anymore
on Linux, and it's no longer necessary on OS X, which has generally saner
styling in Firefox).
- Fix spacing on Windows and Linux in latest Firefox versions
- Tweak icon colors on Windows and OS X
- Adjust Z SVG to take up full height, so Z is a full 16px instead of
14px with slight anti-aliasing
- Use generated PNGs instead of SVG for Z toolbar icons, to remove the
need for complicated size rules
- Add separate platform-specific .svg files that are used by a
zotero-build script, make-z-icons, to generate the Z PNGs; the main
SVG is still used directly in the menu panel and customization
palette, with platform media queries to determine the coloring
And fix save button hover height on Windows, which somehow got out of
whack again.
Might need further tweaking on Linux
Need to find a better way to do these buttons...

I didn't add 2x versions for any composite icons or any Fugue icons.
Also:
- Removed some unused/redundant images
- Switched to shadowless versions for a couple Fugue icons
- New dedicated Zotero button, available in the Customize palette
- Remove "16px" Z SVG and just render "32px" one at the smaller size
(there's a slight difference at the edges, but we should probably redo
it anyway so that dark lines reach all the way to the bottom)
- Change "Open Zotero" back to just "Zotero", since 1) it's for closing
too, 2) it can also just bring Standalone to the front, and 3) "Open
Zotero" looks weird and inconsistent in the menu panel next to things
like "Preferences"
- For now, show single large Z for combo buttons in customization
palette with "Zotero (Combo)", though we can probably do something
better.
- Fix some HiDPI bugs when moving items between areas
Still need a layout for the panel for the combo buttons
Known issues:
- Hover doesn't work on the dropmarker alone, so instead of showing the
hover effect for each segment individually, the menu-button parts are
highlighted together, which at least looks like a choice
- When the menu-button is disabled, it still has some hover/active
effects.
- Tested only on Windows 7
"height: auto" (from another extension's fix for this) actually caused
the bottoms of tree rows to be cut off on Windows (and at least on one
Linux installation with Chinese characters).
- 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
