This is necessary because you can copy a database synced with a
different account into the data directory without affecting the stored
pref.
Also tweak the text to use proper quotes and remove quaint references to
"the server".
- Only show first pane (without Sharing pane) if no files or files
aren't included
- Update authorship checkbox to reflect file include setting to avoid
confusion
- Clarify in intro text that license applies to files, not notes --
notes here are no different than notes in any public library, so it's
sort of up to the user to clarify those if they're substantial enough
for it to matter
- Adjust alignment of authorship checkbox if more than one line
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
Fixes the incompatible-version dialog and adds info on the version used
to upgrade the database, which may be helpful for troubleshooting.
Also fixes showing of the Zotero toolbar icons even in case of a startup
error.
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
Improves UX of sync authentication.
The account is now linked and unlinked and an API key related to
the client is generated transparently in the background.
The API key is deleted on unlinking.
No sync options are allowed before linking an account.
Display a warning when choosing data directory
Or on opening Zotero Pane for existing users with data dir in dropbox
Also:
Fix a bug where it won't use custom path if "Choose..." button is
pressed instead of radio button.
Change filepicker to show current data directory on display
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
Also:
* _finalizeErase in Zotero.DataObject is now inheritable
* Call _initErase before starting a DB transaction
* removes Zotero.Libraries.add and Zotero.Libraries.remove (doesn't seem like this is used any more)
This will appear much less frequently, since non-conflicting field changes on
both sides can be resolved automatically, but genuine field conflicts still
require manual conflict resolution.
The merge pane is no longer editable, since the itembox code to do that is
async and can't run in a modal window, but it's not really necessary,
particularly with conflicts happening less frequently.
TODO:
- Remote item deletions
- File conflicts
- Maybe handle some edge cases where the conflicted items fail to save
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)
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.
For new installations, a panel will show for the Z icon with a ">"
button to go to a second panel for the save icon. For existing
installations, a panel will show just for the save icon. In both cases,
the panels are non-auto-hiding but are dismissed if clicked on or when a
new content page is loaded.
There's also a new close button, but it's not enabled currently. Might
be useful for panels with embedded links where an accidental click on
the panel alone shouldn't close the panel (like the Firefox customize
mode wizard).
