With Task.spawn, regular expressions in Zotero.DB were causing "too much
recursion" errors on Windows with JIT enabled.
This requires a change to Q to allow async() to take a generator instead
of a generator-maker (which is the reason it was using Task.spawn to
begin with).
S3 upload timeouts were retried already with an exponential backoff, but
this adds retrying for other kinds of upload failures as well as failed
downloads. If 5 consecutive failures occur a file sync error is
thrown.
Failed file sync requests to the Zotero API are not currently retried,
but S3 accounts for the majority.
The download portion of this still needs further testing.
When starting in Connector mode (i.e. Standalone is open), Zotero first starts in Full mode, looks for Standalone, then "shuts down" and restarts in Connector mode. `Zotero.shutdown()` returns a promise which is then followed up by a `Zotero.init` call. Thus, when starting in Connector mode, Zotero initialization is asynchronous and makes it possible for `Zotero_Browser.init()` to be called before `Zotero.initialized` is true, which prevents `Zotero_Browser` from initializing. Additionally, even if `Zotero_Browser.init()` is called after Zotero is initialized in Connector mode, it is possible that `Zotero_Browser.init()` will be called _after_ the "load" event for browser.xul has already fired, so `chromeLoad` is never called. This patch ensures that both of these race conditions are taken into account.
Can be triggered by double-clicking or Return and also by F2 on
Windows/Linux
This does mean double-clicking no longer toggles the collection open and
closed. If we wanted to preserve that we could probably capture the
double-click.
Closes Trac ticket 231, only 8 years later
Previously, position/size was persisted for each item's note
individually, but that meant that there was no default position/size for
the note window and an entry was created in localstore.rdf for
every note opened in a new window. There's also a good chance people had
no idea what was going on.
- Always allow "Report Errors...", even when no errors
- Show submitted diagnostic info in report
- Use white background and unitalicized text for report
- Make window larger by default
That was easy. (@simonster, since you disabled this originally, any reason not
to do this, other than the extra tab stop? At least in current Firefox
versions, this is the default behavior.)
When opening the advanced search window, the current library is
selected, and a different library can be selected to change the search
scope. If a library is read-only, the saved search button is disabled.
For saved searches, the appropriate library is selected and the
drop-down is disabled.
Also:
- Close the advanced search window after a search is saved
- The default name for saved searches ("Untitled 2", etc.) was based on
collections rather than searches
- Once an initial search has been performed, the drop-downs and
checkboxes now update the results
- More consistent spacing in advanced search window
- (dev) Zotero.DB.getNextName() now takes a libraryID as its first
parameter instead of always using My Library; the old parameters are
deprecated but still work
- 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.)
Network errors (where the connection itself failed, rather than failed
HTTP requests) were being thrown directly in the stream listener, which
prevented the Zotero.Sync.Storage.Request -- and therefore the file sync
-- from ever completing.
"Your socket connection to the server was not read from or written to
within the timeout period."
I can't reproduce these reliably, so this is fairly untested, but it
seems to work. It backs off exponentially when the error occurs, and
halves the delay on successful requests.
Eventually all 50x file sync errors should also be retried
automatically, but that can't really happen in 4.0.
At least for me (in a VM), the text console has always been unusable on
Windows. Logging to the Browser Console is slower than dump() on OS X
and Linux, but on Windows it's much faster.
Sometime in the past SQL datetimes saved to the server could be
interpreted as multipart dates, causing the date portion to be stripped
from the visible field. I fixed this previously on the server, but a
full sync could result in conflicts for any such values that synced
down. Instead, overwrite the local version (keeping Date Modified the
same) if there are no other changes.
- Send modifier keys through to loadURI() when clicking Open Link in notes
- Open link in parent window from external note window
- Don't show both menus on right-click
Follow-up from #450
Follow up from #440
- Convert curly single quotes to straight quotes before inserting
- Add General and Supplemental Unicode punctuation ranges to getClass()
(so that fancy punctuation doesn't end up in words)
- Move single-quote test from getClass() to semanticSplitter(), and
consider it a letter only if in the middle of a word
- Add comments to semanticSplitter()
This might be ever-so-slightly slower, but it's neglible. (War and Peace
seems to now take ~1570ms instead of ~1500ms for me.)
* Close window on blur after completion on Mac (revert previous change)
* Don't close window when canceling
* Add Esc handler to cancel/close window
* Allow columns to be resized
* Fixes#445
* Fixes#444
also deal with punctuation at the beginning of title
Also fix capitalizeTitle to work with quotation marks and Spanish beginning punctuation. Also adds ? and ! as punctuation after which it always capitalizes
switch sentence case conversion to a regex; I'm leaving capitalizeTitle as the substring routine, it's the same length and probably slightly more efficient.
document.location is null after the document is detached from its parent window (e.g. after we navigate to a different page in the same hidden browser)
If localstore.rdf has the tag selector persisted closed from before
zotero-persist, the 'state' attribute on the splitter that we now use
won't cause the tag selector to open.
This would previously have thrown an error. I'm not sure what these
documents would be, but it's a safe bet that they're not loaded in a
normal browser window.
Also fix weirdness trying to open collapsed tag selector after restart.
(The splitter's 'state' attribute has to be persisted, not the
'collapsed' state of the pane in question.)
If Zotero Standalone was opened before Firefox, closed, and opened
again, the user would see a message stating Zotero Standalone was open,
but the pane would not have closed. This was purely cosmetic.
- When opening the DB, always tell other Zotero instances to close it,
regardless of whether they are holding the lock.
- Don't let database re-open after it has been closed. This also fixes
some issues with connector switching.
This should make it much easier to debug startup errors, particularly in
Standalone.
This also adds a general mechanism to set Zotero initialization options via
command-line flags.
- Refresh Unfiled Items view when items are added
- Fix brief freeze ("too much recursion") adding an item to a search
where the new item doesn't appear. Now, select the library root
instead if a manually added item doesn't appear in the current view.
- Fix immediate closing of title field when adding an item to a
collection rather than the library root
nsISemanticUnitScanner doesn't seem to be able to deal with single
quotes, so protect those. (There might be other characters it doesn't
handle, but this is ancient code, so it stays as is for now.)
(ignoring some strings that were reverted due to small changes in the
English versions, which hopefully will be redone on Transifex before the
next pull)
