- 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
- 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
When loading the first note of a session in the right-hand pane or when
loading a note in the separate window, if you made a change and then
pressed Undo twice (or maybe only once in some situations), it could
undo to empty (though you could usually Redo to restore it).
