- Word for Windows not tested since there's no build yet
- Word for Mac currently causes a sigsev, and likely we'll see this on
windows too. This is happening on an API call where we pass a callback,
so likely an issue in ctypes that we'll have to work around.
- All integration UIs restored.
- Added a component for richlistitems with a checkbox with corresponding
interactions (spacebar/double-click to toggle).
- 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
- Add/Remove Dictionaries window
- Better account for the (unlikely) possibility that a dictionary could
be replaced by another more popular dictionary provided by a different
extension id (tested)
- Better account for the (very unlikely) possibility that an extension
could bundle multiple dictionaries (untested)
- Use toolkit version comparator for proper extension version
comparisons
- Localize strings
- Add tests for updating
This adds a very basic reimplementation of the annotation widget for use
in the CR window. It's not pixel-perfect, but it's close enough that
most people probably won't notice. We'll want to replace this with a
real version that's shared between the PDF reader and the rest of the
codebase.
Image annotations currently show an "[image not shown]" placeholder.
Showing images is tricky: we don't have the remote cache image, so if
the remote position has changed, we could only show an image by
rendering it from the file, and only if the file itself hasn't changed.
Just for a better user experience, we could use the local image as long
as the position and file are both the same, but that would take some
rejiggering of the CR window.
Tags aren't shown because they're not shown for CR at all, though that
could be changed in the future.
This changes the attachment saveFile() function in translators to be
async. In order for errors to be properly caught, translators will need
to be changed to make doExport() async and await on saveFile() calls.
(The translation architecture theoretically already allows doExport() to
be async.)

Instead of showing warning button on toolbar
Otherwise if one person in a group upgrades to a beta with new fields,
everyone in the group will get a warning, even if they're already on the
latest release version. In a personal library, the user can upgrade to
the same version.
Improvements:
- Fixes autocomplete text remaining in field after selection in Fx60
- No more text or icon shifting on select (tested on macOS)
Changes:
- Tags are now selected on mousedown with no active state, as in web
library
Regressions:
- Tooltip with tag type doesn't appear when hovering over icon
- Pressing Tab after modifying a tag loses focus
- Right-click in textbox shows custom menu instead of default text
editing context menu (Cut/Copy/Paste)
To-do:
- Switch to this version for note tags box
- Style colored tags in autocomplete drop-down? Sort to top?
- Only show delete button on row hover, as in web library?
