- File import now uses a translucent overlay over Zotero pane with a progress meter that doesn't hang
- New method Zotero.wait(timeout) to allow synchronous code to wait for events on main thread to be processed until timeout is reached
- Wait status can be tested with Zotero.waiting property
- Zotero.showZoteroPaneProgressBar(msg, determinate) locks Zotero and creates overlay with progress meter
- Code that might trigger via timers or external UI should check Zotero.lock
Lock checks so far:
- Translator save icon and RIS/Refer import display error if triggered while locked
- Browser content context menu options are now in a Zotero submenu and are disabled when Zotero is locked
- Sync, repository, and DB backup timers check for lock and bail
- If a new window is opened, Zotero pane can't be opened and display an error message until lock is released
Probably need to check lock in word processor integration code and advanced search window
Also:
- New method Zotero.sleep(ms) (currently unused) to allow synchronous code to sleep and allow events on main thread to be processed
