- Remove reference to Word from incompatible version message, which is also used with OpenOffice
- Add lines to Doc Prefs window to clarify the necessary file format (though enforcing this at save time would be best)
- File import now uses a translucent overlay over Zotero pane with a progress meter that doesn't hang
- New method Zotero.wait(timeout) to allow synchronous code to wait for events on main thread to be processed until timeout is reached
- Wait status can be tested with Zotero.waiting property
- Zotero.showZoteroPaneProgressBar(msg, determinate) locks Zotero and creates overlay with progress meter
- Code that might trigger via timers or external UI should check Zotero.lock
Lock checks so far:
- Translator save icon and RIS/Refer import display error if triggered while locked
- Browser content context menu options are now in a Zotero submenu and are disabled when Zotero is locked
- Sync, repository, and DB backup timers check for lock and bail
- If a new window is opened, Zotero pane can't be opened and display an error message until lock is released
Probably need to check lock in word processor integration code and advanced search window
Also:
- New method Zotero.sleep(ms) (currently unused) to allow synchronous code to sleep and allow events on main thread to be processed
Alert doesn't pop up on background sync, and auto-syncs triggered by edits are now considered background syncs (like the auto-sync when opening the Zotero pane), which means they won't pop up the conflict resolution window either.
- For PDFs, stop deleting full-text cache file after indexing, and regenerate when getting content if necessary
- MozMill tests
Other MozMill changes:
- Added Cmd-Shift-M shortcut key to open window
- this.controller now available in Zotero.MozMill if passed in from setupModule() with Zotero.MozMill.setController(module.controller);
- Various new Zotero.MozMill methods, including for creating file attachments
Known issue: Window title isn't set correctly
Says Ben:
===========================================
Some uses for this feature include:
- people who don't want to use Firefox as their main browser could set their Firefox homepage to zotero://fullscreen, making Zotero act as a standalone application
- people who do use Firefox could add the link to their Bookmarks Toolbar, and simply Shift-click it to have a Zotero "standalone application"
===========================================
- Use grippy for collapsing tag selector and remove toolbar icon
- Remove redundant Attachments and Notes tabs in metadata pane
- Add all four child attachment options to submenu of item context menu
