Proper labels for saved searches, hiding rather than disabling irrelevant menu options, added "New Saved Search..." to menu, made file and bibliography export work with saved searches, added "Export Library..." option to Library drop-down
- select() new collections and saved searches on creation
- Show all collections in search dialog Collection condition drop-down, not just top-level ones -- eventually there should probably be some sort of level indication to show hierarchy
- Don't allow a search to define itself as a savedSearchID condition. Right.
- Fixed a couple bugs in Collection condition creation that would've made such searches often not work
- Added saved search 'add' support to collectionTreeView notify(), and send the right trigger from Scholar.Search
"Notes" column changed to "#" and combined with the attachment count. "#" isn't exactly immediately self-explanatory, but "Notes/attachments" would be way too long, and once you realize what it's for (i.e. the first time you create a child item), you really don't want the column taking up any more room than that... If people have a better suggestion, do share.
Attachments.importFromURL() now first does a HEAD request to get the MIME type and passes that through Scholar.MIME.hasInternalHandler() (now abstracted from Scholar.File, along with the other MIME functions) -- if it can handle the MIME type, it uses a hidden browser; otherwise, it use a remote web page persist to save the file directly
- Fixed bug in File.hasInternalHandler() (no access to navigator from XPCOM)
- Changed "View Attachment" action to check File.hasInternalHandler() and use window.loadURI() for internally handled files and nsIFile.launch() for external -- this prevents the user from getting a helper app dialog when they try to view external files. I basically had to duplicate most of Mozilla's content detection logic and "guess" whether or not it will be able to handle the file internally, which seems a little silly, but, while I feel there are probably better ways to do various parts of this, what's here seems to do the trick. Let me know if you notice it guessing incorrectly (i.e. you get a helper app dialog rather than having a file just open or it launches a file that should've just been loaded into the window). Also look for text files that should be launched rather than opened, especially XML-based data files, as this is a chance for Scholar to be smarter than Firefox itself--for example, OmniGraffle files, which are actually just XML files, normally open up in Firefox as an XML tree, but Scholar will launch them instead. (I imagine the same will need to be done for OmniOutliner, among other things...)
If you have attachments to the old terminology, feel free to file a complaint.
Changed interface code too, since David is gone (or at the very least has more important things to do with his remaining time)
Addresses #169, add OpenURL interface hooks
Addresses #170, Put "Link" option before "Import" in drop-down menu
Fixes some advanced search flaws (there are still bugs)
Closes#152, Saved Searches (interface layer)
For now, advanced search IS a saved search.
There are still bugs. The 'search' icon is ugly. I wanted to get it out there, however.
If you are simple removing an item from a project, it won't ask you if you want to delete files and notes.
ItemTreeView:
- notify() now works with multiple ids for action=modify.
- saveSelection() returns an array of selected IDs instead of saving it to a class variable
- rememberSelection(selection) takes an array of IDs.
- We might want to do this for regular files as well? I think we need a discussion on how Citation will be presented to the user, and if that will save the web page, and all that jazz.
Closes#146, ScholarPane.selectItem(id)
Closes#147, "Edit in a Separate Window" on a note should select the note's parent item.
Addresses #143, Scholar toolbar button to save current page as an independent file in the selected project.
- Standalone Files are now added to the current Project.
Files added to an item are now actually attached to the item.
Closes#128, Display files as children of item in items list
Fixes#132, On Full-screen mode, browser content disappears but Scholar content does not stretch.
Fixes#133, When Scholar on top, pane automatically resizes depending on item info height.
- ScholarPane.getSelectedCollection() returns collection object, or null if Library is selected.
- ScholarPane.getSelectedItem() returns selected item/note/item-like-thing, or null if no item is selected.
Fixes#115, Windows should open with Scholar Pane closed.
Fixes#105, search box loses focus after search starts.
Retooled the interface a bit, and removed the top toolbar. The close and fullscreen buttons are located to the right of the items toolbar. The item pane cannot be collapsed.
- This required moving the icon to the title field so that the indent would work out right. The type column (which for new installs will be hidden) displays the type in text.
- I expect several small bugs in regard to this.
- Fix item modify notify() on 1st row.
- Ensure that new items are visible when added.
- New functionality for creating new items (prevents a lot of problems).
- Number-based fields display properly.
- Fixed bug when creating and saving the first notes on an item.
- New notes won't save empty.
The collections list does not resize randomly now.
The pane on the right stays open all the time - even when 0/multiple items are selected. This is to avoid frequent resizing of the items pane.
Temporarily, if the first "word" of a field's value is more than 29 characters long, it will set it to crop. This is for the long URLs, etc.
1) Items into collections.
2) Collections into collections.
Dan S, please check this out, I am getting some exceptions from the data access portion.
[interface] Temporarily, "metadata" pane on the right is not resizable.
