In particular, remove code related to opening/closing the Zotero pane,
which affects tests. The pane is now opened by default in Firefox, which
brings its behavior closer to the main version.
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).
The address bar icon now lives in a new combo buttonset containing the main Z, "Save to Zotero", and a dropmarker for the former save-icon right-click menu (which we could conceivably use more heavily going forward now that it's more accessible). There's also a separate dedicated Save to Zotero (+ dropmarker) button, not shown by default, that can be swapped in for people who don't want the Z.
The tooltip for the save icon also now shows the keyboard shortcut (though that unfortunately makes for a lot of parentheses).
Known issues:
- Untested on ESR
- Untested on Linux
- Might need refinement on Windows
- Weird 1px horizontal area at bottom of save button that highlights dropmarker (at least on OS X)
- Probably needs a third button option with just the Z icon so that the main button and the save button can be placed separately (e.g., save button in toolbar, Z in panel)
- Combo buttonset needs an inactive single-icon state for the palette and either needs a state for the panel (which might need to span all three columns?) or if possible should just move the other two icons in and put itself back in the palette
- The absurd amount of time and CSS it took to get the toolbar icons looking right on OS X, since apparently no one has put a menu-button inside a combined toolbar button before
- Add high-res webpage icon
- Show webpage icon in grayscale when no translator (except on hover, for fun)
- Remove pre-Australis icons
- Switch to CustomizableUI API for toolbar icon
- Move icon generation code to separate file
- Add Zotero.hiRes flag for Retina/etc. displays (available only after a window
has loaded)
Known issues:
- While the gray is mostly to be less distracting, the gray/color distinction
will probably be lost on most people. A separate guidance panel for the gray
icon might help.
- On pages with frames, the webpage icon appears first and then is replaced
with a translator icon.
The icon now will save using a translator if possible and otherwise fall back
to creating a web page item. This also removes the "Create Web Page Item from
Current Page" button.
Let's see how this feels. (Pushing it to the beta so more people can try it.) I
think we ultimately should do this, but my main concern with this
implementation is that it's just too distracting, since the icon disappears and
reappears on every page. A persistent, possibly monochrome icon that was just
sometimes disabled (as is the case for the Firefox bookmark toolbar icon) might
be better.
Regardless of the approach, there are some follow-up tweaks that should be made:
- The same thing in the connectors
- Context-menu options
- Different icons and descriptions for different file types (PDF, image)?
- Adjust guidance text? Have separate guidance panels for web vs. translation?
I think requiring everyone with Zotero installed to manually close the panel is
just too annoying. (Not allowing the auto-hide for a couple seconds after
opening to prevent accidental closes would be nice, but preventDefault() in the
panel's onpopuphiding() doesn't seem to work, nor does changing noautohide
after opening.)
Increase the delay to 2 seconds to try to show on top of the Firefox 28->29
upgrade panel on slower computers.
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.
- tweak twisty appearance on OS X (highlight-on-click is gone, but this seems preferable to the previous behavior)
- simplify chrome.manifest for standalone
- Make the add-on bar visible if the Zotero icon isn't set to hidden, which is an annoying way of dealing with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616419 not yet landing -- people who use an upper toolbar button and don't want the add-on bar to show will need to set the Zotero icon to hidden
Addresses #1726, Firefox 4 Compatibility
- Reload bucket on bucket click if not loaded in the last 60 seconds
- Add "Show Original" button to Commons metadata pane to switch back to original linked item, if it exists
- Hide metadata pane tabs in Commons view
- Add support for setting credentials via zotero.org (untested, and not yet stored in Fx login manager)
Also:
- Add ZoteroPane.getItemGroup() function
- Creating buckets not yet supported
- Some now-unused single-item-per-bucket code still needs to be removed
- Child attachments are not displayed in Zotero Commons pane
- Manual refreshing via bucket right-click (or a Firefox restart) is currently necessary after adding items
- Double-clicking bucket takes you to bucket page; double-clicking item takes you to named anchor
- Store one item per IA bucket, with attachments stored as objects
- Use proper mediatype field based on Zotero item type
- Commons list is now pulled dynamically based on RDF stored at IA, without need for corresponding local item (which may have been deleted, etc.)
- Once available, OCRed PDFs can be pulled down by right-clicking on Commons and selecting Refresh
- Downloaded OCRed PDFs are now named the same as the existing attachment, with "(OCR)" appended
- The relations table is used to link downloaded OCRed PDFs to the IA file, so the downloaded file can be renamed without triggering another download
- The Commons view is marked for automatic refresh after an item is uploaded
- Added some progress notifications, though more are probably needed
- Other things
Also:
- Added Zotero.File.getBinaryContents(file)
- Erase an item's relations when the item is deleted, and purge orphaned ones
- Zotero.URI.eraseByPathPrefix(prefix) no longer prepends 'http://zotero.org' (which has been moved to Zotero.URI.defaultPrefix)
- New function Zotero.URI.eraseByURI(prefix)
Known Issues:
- Slow (some IA changes should be able to speed it up)
- Identifier format is likely temporary
- Sometimes it stops during setTimeout() calls for no apparent reason whatsoever
- Didn't test items with multiple attachments
- Not sure if Commons view will auto-refresh if you switch to it before the upload is done
- IA translator not yet updated
- Deleting items not supported by IA
- Date Added/Date Modified don't show up properly in Zotero for Commons items
