- 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
- Add Zotero logo
- Move most acknowledgements to the website, where they can be more more
easily updated and more comprehensive
- Increase font size
- Center window on screen
- Always show both sections
- Do not show empty sections when searching
- Collapse notes list when all tabs are closed
- Work around search input to take full width without breaking its stuff
- Show child notes at top of notes list, with separate headers for "Item
Notes" and "All Notes"
- Fix "New Child Note" option
- Add parent item title above note editor when editing child note
- Cleanup
TODO:
- Search on parent item title for child notes
