- Use default background for Zotero pane and get along with custom styles a bit more
- Reduce padding in tag selector
- Reduce margins around trees, reducing space between panes a bit
- Hide splitter below collections pane when tag selector is hidden
I can't find any way to detect if the value is actually cropped with an ellipsis, so the best we can do is not display the ellipsis if the value is blank--if the value is shorter than the crop width but not empty, the ellipsis will still display.
Abstract displays in metadata pane as a cropped one-line field by default; clicking the 'Abstract' label toggles between the cropped field and an expanded view
Some problems with import/export: https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/537
Refs #537
Add font size support in external windows
Windows can use the font size pref by including a line like the following in their init script:
Zotero.setFontSize(rootElement);
rootElement should be a XUL element that surrounds all content (but not a <window> or <dialog> or anything that doesn't have a 'style' property)
Windows with treeviews also need to include zotero.css:
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://zotero/skin/zotero.css" type="text/css"?>
Utilities should also do this for any GUIs they create.
URL label is now clickable -- has cursor feedback on hover but still needs a visual indicator of some sort
Other changes:
- Can now load snapshots and pages in new tab/window by using the standard Firefox modifier keys while clicking the View button or the URL field
- View button in metadata pane now displays "View" or "View Snapshot" as appropriate
- Better detection of invalid snapshots when deciding whether to use "View" or "View Snapshot"
- Non-HTML snapshots viewed via the View button are loaded using the standard attachment logic rather than just window.loadURI()
- Added green Go arrows to standalone attachment view/show buttons
Method changes:
- ZoteroPane.loadURI(uri, event, data) - (new) Load URI with standard Firefox mod key support; passing an object with 'attachmentID' property triggers annotation mode
- ZoteroPane.viewAttachment(attachmentID, event) - (new)
- ZoteroPane.viewSelectedAttachment(event) - Now takes event param
- Zotero_Browser.annotateThisPage(id) changed to annotatePage(id, [browser]) to handle background tab loading
Addresss #352, Make sure data layer doesn't allow bad data via the API
Access date field is now human-friendly. Also enforcing SQL date form for the field in the DB and discarding bad data passed via setField().
Closes#453, Check if any fields will actually be discarded on item type change before giving warning
Refs #530, Add base field conversion to translation level
Added mechanism for linking item type fields via base fields, e.g. publisher => label in audioRecording
New methods:
Item.getFieldsNotInType(itemTypeID, allowBaseConversion)
ItemFields.getLocalizedString(itemTypeID, field)
ItemFields.isBaseField(fieldID)
ItemFields.getFieldIDFromTypeAndBase(itemType, baseField)
ItemFields.getBaseIDFromTypeAndField(itemType, typeField)
ItemFields.getTypeFieldsFromBase(baseField)
Currently only the publisher fields are mapped -- I need more feedback on #346 before I implement the others (specifically on whether or not all these sorts of fields should be done as distinct fields or whether some should just be localized strings (in which case they'll autocomplete but not show up separately as search conditions))
Also added 'university' as distinct publisher field for thesis
Values of equivalent fields are now preserved when switching between item types (e.g. the 'studio' value becomes the 'label' value when switching between videoRecording and audioRecording), and the pop-up is much smarter--it will only prompt you if fields will in fact be lost, and it will list the fields that would be deleted.
Not finished:
- Searching for base fields doesn't yet search the type-specific fields, as Elena requested
- import/export/bib should be updated to use the ItemFields base conversion methods where appropriate -- data coming from the 'publisher' field from translators, for example, should be put into the appropriate type-specific field.
Switched all private calls of privileged methods to use 'this.' instead
No substantive changes
- This line, and those below, will be ignored--
M overlay.xul
M overlay.js
All the former Zotero.DB methods are now part of an instantiable Zotero.DBConnection object, and Zotero.DB is just one instance of it. Utilities can create and access a new SQLite database within the Zotero data folder by instantiating the DBConnection object:
this.DB = new Zotero.DBConnection('myutility');
Utilities have access to everything the DB layer provides, including automatic backup and restore of databases. Utility writers are on their own for schema management, at least for now.
Also:
- Cleared non-English DB restore localized strings after change.
- Disabled shutdown observer in Zotero object after moving DB backup code to DB layer
Closes#450, encyclopedia article and dictionary entry types
Language might want some special properties (Dublin Core recommends "en" or "en-us"-style values as a best practice)
Also reordered some fields
Sent as a fourth parameter to notify() -- parameter is an array of objects (in the same order as the ids) that currently contain a single property, 'old', which holds the toArray() object
Copies are not sent with 'modify' when it's only meant to refresh the UI and there's another trigger that covers the data change (e.g. removing a tag from an item sends both an item modify and an item-tag add, but the modify doesn't get a pre-change copy of the item since any consumers that care should just monitor item-tag)
Also:
- Removed Notifier.enable()/disable()
- Notifier no longer sends modify() if item already deleted
- New methods: Collection.toArray(), Zotero.Tags.toArray(tagID)
- Removed a few extraneous triggers
Simon, reopen if this doesn't fix the problem you were referring to.
(Also removes Notifier.enable()/disable() from its use in Item.erase() while we're at it.)
Also:
- Changed default Zotero pane min-height to 32px, which lets you shrink it to just the controls -- it would be better if we had a notification popup for the various non-translator save functions, since this way there's no feedback when you click the buttons, but at least it's possible. A dedicated mode with a keyboard shortcut would probably be better.
- Fixed bug (I think) whereby resizing the Z pane downward after resizing the tag selector up and then down sometimes caused the Z pane to stay at a fixed size and get pushed below the bottom
