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

- fixes an issue with importing directory hierarchy
- fixes an issue where the SpringerLink translator could fail to recognize a scrapable resource
- fixes an issue where the Nature translator could fail to retrieve an associated PDF
feel free to push the updates to the SpringerLink and Nature translators to the repository; theoretically, the RDF translator should be backwards-compatible too, but I'd like to test it with b3 before potentially breaking functionality.
And they said it would never happen.
Doesn't yet support dragging items to other windows, etc., but you can double-click to focus the item in the most recent Zotero pane. You can also save the search as...a saved search, which means that theoretically we could get rid of the now-redundant "New Saved Search" icon.
== Other/related changes ==
Search dialog:
- Better keyboard handling (focus condition menu by default, Enter to trigger command (e.g. search in the Advanced Search window), Shift-Enter to add new row)
Zotero.Search:
- Zotero.Search.clone() -- return copy of search
- Zotero.Search.getSearchConditions() now returns copy of conditions
itemTreeView:
- Always sort by the first column if no sort column set; removed isSorted() logic, since isSorted() now always returns true
- Made itemsTreeView.refresh() call rowCountChanged, since there were cases in which the tree could end up looking for nonexistent rows after they'd been removed
- selectItem() now takes a second parameter, expand, to open the selected item if it's a container
- selectItem() now tries to get the selected item at least slightly away from the bottom (since ensureRowIsVisible does only the bare minimum) and also tries to get the parent item in view when scrolling upwards to make a child item visible
- Moved getSelectedItems() logic into the treeview instead of overlay.js
