Use the new wizard for all imports (even if no Mendeley DB), and add a
page with a "Place imported collections and items into new collection"
option. If deselected, collections are added to the library root.
Accept Mendeley SQLite databases via File → Import… and perform a
direct import, including collections, timestamps, notes, attachments,
and extracted annotations.
When a Mendeley database is present, File → Import… shows a wizard that
lets you choose between a file and Mendeley for the source, and choosing
the latter shows a list of available databases in the Mendeley data
directory.
Known fields that aren't valid for a type are stored in Extra.
Files in the Mendeley 'Downloaded' folder are stored. Files elsewhere
are linked.
- 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
Applies to dragging to the collections pane or the items pane, adding
via New Item menu, or saving via the connector server
If the renaming pref is enabled, the PDF is renamed after recognition.
Can be disabled in the preferences
Closes#917
Automatic renaming is now done for dragging of an external file onto an
item (as added in 7cb95f41) as well as dragging as a linked file,
dragging a non-native (not text or HTML) URL, "Attach Link to File…",
"Attach Stored Copy of File…", and "Retrieve Metadata for PDF". It only
applies if a single file is being added and if the parent item has no
non-HTML attachments. By default, the renaming only applies to PDFs, but
this can be changed with the renameAttachmentFiles.automatic.fileTypes
hidden pref.
A new General pref, "Automatically rename attachment files using parent
metadata", controls whether the renaming happens.
Files saved via web translators are renamed regardless of this pref,
because they would often be gibberish otherwise.
Closes#113
