- Each column in the middle pane can now have its own persistent
secondary sort column, configurable from a new submenu in the column
picker menu (top right of items list). The settings are stored in
extensions.zotero.secondarySort.[primaryField]. The submenu title
includes the current primary field (e.g., "Secondary Sort (Creator)"),
which is pretty weird, and I'm not sure I want to keep it, but it does
convey that the setting is specific to the selected column.
- The fallback sort fields (firstCreator, date, title, dateAdded) are
now configurable via the extensions.zotero.fallbackSort. Setting that
pref to an empty string avoids all fallback sorts, which
allows reverse-order clicking to set the order, as requested by
@aurimasv in #275.
- The previous behavior of sorting based on the exact Creator string
(rather than the actual creators) can now be restored with the
extensions.zotero.sortCreatorAsString pref. (It simply circumvents all
the newer code, so it's pretty safe.) This setting should result in
faster sorting in large libraries that have many items with the same
Creator string.
- Some of the lesser fields in the column picker menu are now in the
More Columns submenu (which is now alphabetical)
- The "Type" column is now the less-ambiguous "Item Type".
- This uses a different method to modify the column picker menu that is
simultaneously less and more hacky. (It no longer has to duplicate
Mozilla code in a custom XBL binding that wouldn't reflect future
upstream changes, and instead it bushwhacks its way through various
boxObject properties to get to the underlying menupopup.)
The previous version would keep only the last instance.
This version requires the array to contain only primitives of a single
data type, but I think that's OK for all of our uses. (This version
should also be faster.)
Cmd on OS X, Shift on Windows/Linux
How do I not get to close a ticket for this?
Unfortunately on Windows it doesn't seem possible to set the cursor
effect to arbitrary states (see note in libraryTreeView.js::
_setDropEffect() for the gory details), so this just uses the default
cursor there. On OS X and Linux the cursor reflects the requested
action.
Previously Cmd-Shift-Z worked for redo in text areas (Abstract, Extra)
but would toggle the Zotero pane in regular text fields. This change
allows Redo to work as expected.
The search bar gets focus when you first open the Zotero pane, though,
so we don't redo there, since it would be annoying if you couldn't close
the pane immediately with the same shortcut.
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.
Using separate arrows from treetwisty.svg from Mozilla, since it doesn't seem
to be possible to use list-style-position in the tree
The reason we still have to do this at all is that coloring of the twisties in
the tree still gets messed up as you move around the tree. (This still happens
in Places and Thunderbird as well.)
