Instead of creating a duplicate copy of the item with the same primary
data and saving that, it's safer just to use clone() (which doesn't
preserve ids) and apply changes to the main object.
While trying to get translation and citing working with asynchronously
generated data, we realized that drag-and-drop support was going to
be...problematic. Firefox only supports synchronous methods for
providing drag data (unlike, it seems, the DataTransferItem interface
supported by Chrome), which means that we'd need to preload all relevant
data on item selection (bounded by export.quickCopy.dragLimit) and keep
the translate/cite methods synchronous (or maintain two separate
versions).
What we're trying instead is doing what I said in #518 we weren't going
to do: loading most object data on startup and leaving many more
functions synchronous. Essentially, this takes the various load*()
methods described in #518, moves them to startup, and makes them operate
on entire libraries rather than individual objects.
The obvious downside here (other than undoing much of the work of the
last many months) is that it increases startup time, potentially quite a
lot for larger libraries. On my laptop, with a 3,000-item library, this
adds about 3 seconds to startup time. I haven't yet tested with larger
libraries. But I'm hoping that we can optimize this further to reduce
that delay. Among other things, this is loading data for all libraries,
when it should be able to load data only for the library being viewed.
But this is also fundamentally just doing some SELECT queries and
storing the results, so it really shouldn't need to be that slow (though
performance may be bounded a bit here by XPCOM overhead).
If we can make this fast enough, it means that third-party plugins
should be able to remain much closer to their current designs. (Some
things, including saving, will still need to be made asynchronous.)
If 'pdf' flag is included in object POSTed to saveSnapshot, import the
PDF directly and save as top-level item. Currently the PDF is
redownloaded -- there might be a better way to get the PDF data over
without redownloading. (It uses passed cookies, though, so gated PDFs
should still work.)
I guess the idea that switching to PNGs obviated the need for this was wishful
thinking (though it doesn't seem to be necessary for the single buttons anymore
on Linux, and it's no longer necessary on OS X, which has generally saner
styling in Firefox).
- Fix spacing on Windows and Linux in latest Firefox versions
- Tweak icon colors on Windows and OS X
- Adjust Z SVG to take up full height, so Z is a full 16px instead of
14px with slight anti-aliasing
- Use generated PNGs instead of SVG for Z toolbar icons, to remove the
need for complicated size rules
- Add separate platform-specific .svg files that are used by a
zotero-build script, make-z-icons, to generate the Z PNGs; the main
SVG is still used directly in the menu panel and customization
palette, with platform media queries to determine the coloring
Unfortunately this will need to be partly redone, since retrieveItem(), and
therefore itemToCSLJSON(), and therefore itemToExportFormat(), need to be
synchronous. The item data load statements in itemToExportFormat() will
probably need to be performed earlier, when they can be async, and made
available to the session for retrieval by retrieveItem(), but I'll let someone
more familiar with the citation infrastructure do that.
This restores some code in retrieveItem() that may have been accidentally
removed in a merge, though it probably won't be useful anymore anyway.
Addresses #529
Now that 500 errors are retried in file downloads (ec28c5a3), we have to
override the default backoff schedule in order to get expected failures.
This also fixes an error that occurred on a retried download.
In Fx44, SQL queries must use '?' with LIKE and cannot concatenate a
placeholder string (e.g., 'foo%'). This is for Sqlite.jsm only, so it
doesn't affect 4.0.
For now, delete it and clear it from the cache so it's updated properly going
forward, but really we want to reinstall the correct file automatically
(#903).
This apparently has been happening for a year, since #617.
Might be better to show open/save on cancel, as implemented for the
RIS/BibTeX prompt in 4ecdd55 (which caused this), but that would have to
wait for the better promise handling in 5.0. Doing "Save Link As..." for
a CSL file also seems a bit more straightforward than for RIS/BibTeX,
which can be served in complicated ways.
Instead, pass ids directly to SQLite. This seems to take about the same
amount of time or a little less (by avoiding the time it takes to start
a transaction) and avoids blocking other transactions when switching
views.
Most checks are now just foreign key checks and can be checked with
"PRAGMA foreign_key_checK".
The DB Repair Tool will need to be updated to handle the new schema (but
still accept the old one).
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.
Closes#864
This adds a 'channel' property to Zotero.HTTP.UnexpectedStatusException,
because the 'channel' property of the XHR can be garbage-collected
before handling, and the channel's 'securityInfo' property is necessary
to detect certificate errors.
This should be refactored further, but this is a start at swapping in
Bluebird. Unfortunately the process doesn't work correctly because of
issues in the translation framework, which will need to be addressed
separately -- right now a parent item is successfully created but the UI
still shows an error and the PDF isn't placed under the parent.
Closes#852
Currently shows a *+* icon for adding a tag and
a *link* icon for removing it.
There does not appear to be any way to have a custom mouse cursor,
which makes this interaction extremely unintuitive. It might be
possible to hack this in, but it does not really warrant the effort.
E.g. `window.setCursor` does not respond whilst dragging.
This changes Zotero.Translate.Base.translate() to take an options object (in
order to take a 'collections' parameter, which is passed to the
Zotero.Translate.ItemSaver constructor). The old parameters are still supported
with a deprecation warning, and there may be other places that still need to be
updated.
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
