- 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
Also:
- Hide format options until translators are loaded (since otherwise
the checkboxes don't have labels and the layout is messed up)
- Remove unnecessary "zotero-" prefix from the new elements
- 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).
Having the macOS Help button in a scrolling view feels kind of weird, but that's
what Apple is doing in the Ventura System Settings app, so I guess we go with
it. I like it better than Firefox's non-contextual "Firefox Support" button
under the pane list in their preferences, anyway - having pane-by-pane
contextual help buttons seems like good UX that there isn't a good reason for us
to ditch.
- Widths are now correct
- Rows are a little too tall
- Field value vertical alignment is off
- Platform styling isn't done and some styles might be redundant
- Still can't scroll vertically
- Creator name inputs still displayed wrong
Not working:
- Web tests (hidden browser is broken)
- Test Updated status text
- Various platform menu things (code copied from ZP and will use whichever
approach we settle on there)
- Add links-box component (inside noteEditor.js).
- Add related-box component and fix related pane.
- Use tagsBox.jsx instead of tagsbox.xml in note editor links box popup.
- Remove CSS styles and bindings for noteeditor, relatedbox and tagsbox.
listbox is gone, but richlistbox is still here as a custom element and
works fine for cases where we don't need virtualization.
groupbox label and richlistitem styles should probably be copied to
somewhere global once tuned a bit.
- Adjust text
- Add "Learn More" button with link to sync documentation for
set-up-sync notification
- Show "Don't Show Again" for set-up-sync even on first display
- Don't perform any action when clicking unlinked text
- Use yellow/orange background instead of blue for notification bar
- Prevent text from wrapping out of the bar at narrow window widths
- Use local variable for observer id
There are two:
- Sync never set up (no username in DB) / set up, but unlinked
- Sync set up but auto-sync disabled and sync not completed in 30 days
Checks are trigged on item adds.
It seems that style calculation gets insane when `overflow: auto` is used inside a collapsed box (specifically inside contextPane), although there might be more factors
7ef7943a17 made "Loading items…" small again after it got big during
HTMLification but made everything else (e.g., welcome message, My
Publications intro) small as well. This adds an ugly hack to keep the
loading message small for now (without passing dedicated HTML from a
bunch of different places).
- 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

- Show item title at top of item pane in contextual mode not in a
library tab
- Show "All Notes" at top of standalone notes pane
- Add background color when clicking notes in standalone notes list
- Clean up back buttons
Mode button is still a placeholder but uses emoji to show the mode
- Use the "Chrome" theme
- Hide the gutter
- Don't highlight the active line
- Remove default iframe borders
- Focus the editor on window open
Ace instances (e.g., Scaffold) are now responsible for setting their own
theme (to avoid a flash of Monokai before a lighter theme appears).
- Properly truncate and ellipsize long tags
- Show scrollbar if tags go off the bottom of the pane
These both improve on the pre-React version, which didn't properly
truncate tags (at least in the current version, though I think it used
to) and scrolled the Add button off the top of the screen.
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.
The menu includes all user interface options from the General
preferences (now removed from the preferences), toggles for the
collections pane, item pane, and tag selector, and, at long last, a
toggle for recursive collections ("Display Items from Subcollections").
The collections pane and item pane no longer reopen automatically when
restarting Zotero. People might still close them by mistake and not find
this menu, but we'll see how it goes.
Closes#1372
- Fix list download logic
- Close bar when clicking "View Item"
- Don't show "Move to Trash" if item isn't editable
- Download new list if cached version differs from client
- Reduce height of notification bar
- Switch to a slightly darker red
- Check for retracted items using data from Retraction Watch
- Show an X next to retracted items in the items list, and show a
scary message at the top of the item pane with more info and links.
- Lookup is done in a privacy-preserving manner using k-anonymity --
the server is unable to determine the specific items that exist in
the client, so people who don't sync don't need to share any library
data (though the server doesn't log the lookups anyway).
TODO:
- Pop up an alert when new items are found
- Show a confirmation prompt when citing a retracted item
- Support items without DOIs or PMIDs
- Add a proper PMID field and expand DOI to more item types so these
values don't need to be parsed out of Extra
- Clear the banner immediately when all possible fields are cleared
instead of waiting a few seconds
- Use react-virtualized to render tags on demand, reducing the number
of DOM elements from potentially tens of thousands to <100. This
requires tags to be absolutely positioned, so sizing and
positioning need to be precomputed rather than relying on CSS.
- Avoid unnecessary refreshes, speed up tag retrieval, and optimize
sorting
- Debounce reflowing when resizing tag selector
Also:
- Scroll to top when changing collections
- Allow tags to take up full width of tag selector without truncation
Closes#1649Closes#281
Adds a "Run as async function" checkbox that wraps the code in an async
function and displays the value returned by a `return` statement.
This also properly catches errors and displays them in the results pane.
This is a replacement for the Execute JS extension that could be used
with Zotero for Firefox.
To enable, go to the Config Editor in the Advanced pane of the
preferences and set devtools.chrome.enabled to true, and then restart
Zotero. A "Run JavaScript" option will appear in the Tools menu.
- Added icon-button UI code for the menubutton
- Upgrade to React 16 to allow non-standard attrs, such as `tooltiptext`
to support XUL tooltips
- Add i18n support for React UI elements
- Update tests for reactified tag selector
- Show a clearer message on a certificate error that includes the
underlying error, which should make debugging much simpler. (No more
checking in a browser and hoping it's the same connection.)
- Mention proxy server in message on startup proxy-check failure
- Include link to connection-error KB page on sync connection failure
