- Open in current window if one is already open
- Use a button instead of a label
- Don't show button if citation item is not linked to a Zotero item
This doesn't currently work if the Zotero pane has never been opened in the given window, because ZoteroPane.selectItem() appears to fail in that circumstance. This needs to be fixed.
The button wasn't opening the WebDAV URL within Standalone, and
XULRunner doesn't provide the whitelist interface anyway.
Documentation page still needed
Can choose to download files "at sync time" or "as needed"
On-demand defaults to on, but remains off for existing users
To-do:
- Handling of local and remote file changes on on-demand download
(currently if a file exists it isn't downloaded, which means a
remotely modified file won't be redownloaded in on-demand mode)
- Additional control over file downloading and retention
Other changes:
- Overhauled entire file syncing architecture
- Replaced numAttachments column with Note and Attachment columns with
dynamic icons to indicate status
- Double-clicking a parent with a missing best attachment and on-demand
downloading off no longer loads the parent URL
- Bugs
TODO: limit to large syncs?
This needs a lot of testing.
Also:
- Tweak pumpGenerator() wait level behavior to match Zotero.wait()
- If Zotero is closed in the top-most window, show a popup instead of the pane-covering progress meter, and take an optional icon in Zotero.showZoteroPaneProgressMeter() for use in the popup
- Restore protection against opening Zotero pane when Zotero.locked is set
- Display a nicer error if Zotero.DB.commitTransaction() is called without an active transaction
- Allow text with icons to extend to multiple lines in progressWindow popup
- Automatically use current window if one isn't specified in Zotero.repaint()
- Adds a per-library "Duplicate Items" virtual search to the source list -- shows up by default for "My Library" but can be added to and removed from all libraries
- Current matching algorithm is very basic: finds exact title matches (after normalizing case/diacritics/punctuation/spacing) and DOI/ISBN matches (untested)
- In duplicates view, sets are selected automatically; in other views, duplicate items can be selected manually and the merge interface can be brought up with "Merge Items" in the context menu
- Can select a master item and individual fields to merge from other versions
- Word processor integration code will automatically find mapped replacements and update documents with new item keys
Possible future improvements:
- Improved detection algorithms
- UI tweaks
- Currently if any items differ, all available versions will be shown as master item options, even if only one item is different; probably the earliest equivalent item should be shown for each distinct version
- Caching of results for performance
- Confidence scale
- Creator version selection (currently the creators from the chosen master item are kept)
- Merging of matching child items
- Better sorting of duplicates if not clustered together by the selected sort column
- Relation path compression when merging items that are already mapped to previously removed duplicates
Other changes in this commit:
- Don't show Trash in word processor integration windows
- Consider items in trash to be missing in word processor documents
- Selection of special views (Trash, Unfiled, Duplicates) is now restored properly in new windows
- Disabled field transform context menu when item isn't editable
- Left/right arrow now expands/collapses all selected items instead of just the last-selected row
- Relation deletions are now synced
- The same items row is now reselected after item deletion
- (dev) Zotero.Item.getNotes(), Zotero.Item.getAttachments(), and Zotero.Item.getTags() now return empty arrays rather than FALSE if no matches -- tests on those return values in third-party code will need to be changed
- (dev) New function Zotero.Utilities.removeDiacritics(str, lowercaseOnly) -- could be used to generate ASCII BibTeX keys
- (dev) New 'tempTable' search condition can take a table to join against -- useful for implementing virtual source lists
- (dev) Significant UI code cleanup
- (dev) Moved all item pane content into itemPane.xul
- Probably various other things
Needless to say, this needs testing.
- Implement connector for Firefox (should switch in/out of connector mode automatically when Standalone is launched or closed, although this has only been tested extensively on OS X)
- Share core translation code between Zotero and connectors
Still to be done:
- Run translators in non-Fx connectors (this works in theory, but it's not currently enabled for any translators)
- Show translation results in non-Fx connectors
- Ability to translate to server when Zotero Standalone is not running
Adds "Show Unfiled Items" context menu to libraries, which adds a virtual saved search for unfiled items. Right-click, Remove to hide. Per-library visibility is saved in prefs and persists across restarts.
Implemented as 'unfiled' search condition, but not accessible via search UI
Should probably use a different color icon to differentiate from real saved searches
also adds a parameter to disable proxy redirection by domain (although if I had known how much work would be involved in implementing this before I started, I wouldn't have bothered)

This can't yet sync, so upping sync API version and delaying dev XPI build.
- Fix search for January dates
- Support 'yesterday'/'today'/'tomorrow' and localized equivalents (case-insensitive) in date searches (e.g., [Date Added] [is] ['yesterday'])
- Make "Saved Search" a separate search condition from 'Collection' in drop-down menu
- Better handle invalid search conditions
- (Dev) Saved search conditions are now 'collection' and 'savedSearch' rather than 'collectionID' and 'savedSearchID', though the latter can be used as shortcuts when adding
This could use some testing.
- Show appropriate message when moving items to trash
- Unbind delete action from Backspace on Windows, where it's non-standard
- Fixed some inconsistencies in Cmd/Ctrl-Delete behavior -- Cmd-Delete will move item to trash without prompt in Library and move items to trash with a prompt in collection or search
API changes:
- Zotero.Items.erase(), Zotero.Item.erase(), and Zotero.ItemTreeView.deleteSelection() no longer takes eraseChildren parameter
- Group file sync via Zotero File Storage
- Split file syncing into separate modules for ZFS and WebDAV
- Dragging items between libraries copies child notes, snapshots/files, and links based on checkboxes for each (enabled by default) in the Zotero preferences
- Sync errors now trigger an exclamation/error icon separate from the sync icon, with a popup window displaying the error and an option to report it
- Various errors that could cause perpetual sync icon spinning now stop the sync properly
- Zotero.Utilities.md5(str) is now md5(strOrFile, base64)
- doPost(), doHead(), and retrieveSource() now takes a headers parameter instead of requestContentType
- doHead() can now accept an nsIURI (with login credentials), is a background request, and isn't cached
- When library access or file writing access is denied during sync, display a warning and then reset local group to server version
- Perform additional steps (e.g., removing local groups) when switching sync users to prevent errors
- Compare hash as well as mod time when checking for modified local files
- Don't trigger notifications when removing groups from the client
- Clear relation links to items in removed groups
- Zotero.Item.attachmentHash property to get file MD5
- importFromFile() now takes libraryID as a third parameter
- Zotero.Attachments.getNumFiles() returns the number of files in the attachment directory
- Zotero.Attachments.copyAttachmentToLibrary() copies an attachment item, including files, to another library
- Removed Zotero.File.getFileHash() in favor of updated Zotero.Utilities.md5()
- Zotero.File.copyDirectory(dir, newDir) copies all files from dir into newDir
- Preferences shuffling: OpenURL to Advanced, import/export character set options to Export, "Include URLs of paper articles in references" to Styles
- Other stuff I don't remember
Suffice it to say, this could use testing.

(Smith, 2006)
The database is scanned for each citation, and positioning is adjusted automatically for footnotes. Currently, this won't work with names with accents, but I'll get to that.
- fixes NCBI PubMed translator type (should be 12, since it's a search translator as well as a web translator)
- fixes a bug passing multiple translators to translate.setTranslator()
- increases priority of CrossRef translator
- makes sync animated arrow progress indicator into a general CSS class (zotero-small-progress-indicator) so that the same progress indicator can be used for lookup. if this is confusing, we could use something else instead.
- Only one preference for recognizing proxies for transparent redirection
- Blacklists sites and http://%h/%p
- Fixes to EZProxy
This will clear all existing proxies from Zotero
Ben's duplicate detection code, with the integration reworked a bit
Very rough, so currently requires creation of a boolean extensions.zotero.debugShowDuplicates pref to view the Actions menu option
- Still experimental, but committing for testing
- Sync conflicts with deleted items aren't yet supported
Unrelated: deprecated ZoteroPane.deleteSelectedItem() in favor of more accurately named deleteSelectedItems()
- disable bookmarks mode for note-based styles
- display an error when attempting to insert a bookmark into a footnote
- closes#1201, Keyboard focus stays in Word when creating or editing a citation
- allow deletion of multiple styles simultaneously
- split Zotero.Styles/Zotero.Style and Zotero.CSL into style.js and csl.js respectively
- add Zotero.File.getBinaryContents for binary-safe file reading
- add Zotero.MIMETypeHandler to provide a unified interface for registering observers and capturing MIME types with Zotero
- Still experimental and incomplete, with no lock support and not much error handling
Also:
- New expiry date for sync functions
- Attachment character set was being dropped during syncing
- Possibly improves sizing issues with preferences window
- Fixes problems with attachment filenames with extended characters
- Fixes some problem with tags that I don't remember
- Makes XMLHTTPRequest calls are now background requests (no auth windows or other prompts)
- Z.U.HTTP.doOptions() now takes an nsIURI instead of a URL spec
- New methods:
- Zotero.Utilities.rand(min, max)
- Zotero.Utilities.probability(x)
- Zotero.Utilities.Base64.encode(str) and decode(str)
- Zotero.getTempDirectory()
- Zotero.Date.dateToISO(date) - convert JS Date object to ISO 8601 UTC date/time
- Zotero.Date.isoToDate(isoDate) - convert an ISO 8601 UTC date/time to a JS Date object
The feature grabs relevant fragments from the document and then searches them on Google Scholar. This will only work with OCRed PDFs, so it doesn't work with JSTOR, but it should work fairly well with everything else.
changes default behavior. transparent redirection is now enabled by default, and a caution dialog appears when proxies are first accessed. when transparent redirection is turned off, no dialog appears, and proxies get saved automatically. when the user switches transparent redirection on, there is a warning that s/he should check that there are only trusted proxies in the list. i'm not sure how well i've worded the messages, so feel free to suggest better alternatives.
also, a bit of jsdoc cleanup on proxy.js
closes#831, transparent EZProxy support
adds a proxy pane to the preferences
asks before saving proxies to the DB (to avoid the potential phishing risk #831 would otherwise pose)
Adds a Python/py-appscript-based plug-in for Word 2008. To get this to work, you'll need to copy the Zotero directory (not its contents) to ~/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items and install py-appscript (sudo easy_install appscript)
Some caveats:
- Requires Word be installed at /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word 2008.app (this is fixable, but I'm still determining the best way to solve it)
- Still need to figure out what to do with items that have been deleted from the DB (right now, we just ignore them)
- Sometimes, Python.app launches with the script, which seems to slow execution time
closes#704, EndNote to Zotero style converter (won't actually convert styles due to copyright concerns, but will load them into the DB)
also adds CSL style manager
If anyone's out there, now would be the time to test this.
Missing icons for the new types -- I could try to get some of those now, or we could just launch. Maybe we'll just launch. But really, might want to test this. Just sayin'.
Attach Snapshot of Current Page
Attach Link to Current Page
I also removed "New Item" from the context menu, as it was the only option in the menu that wasn't specific to the selected item, it made the whole menu a lot more confusing, and it doesn't take all that much longer to click the (+) button and choose Book (assuming that's even the item you want).
Addresses #155, Localize strings
- Added "Search subfolders"
- Localized strings in search dialog
Known issue:
#342, "Search subfolders" checkbox should be greyed out until applicable
At least some scrapers (NYT and WashPo, for sure) should be updated to follow this pref
Addresses #327, Scrapers should either take snapshots or use URL field
