This works fine for regular use, since the user will generally not attempt to click the address bar icon before the visible page content has loaded.
But it'd be good to be able to somehow specify in the test that it should wait a certain period of time, or in general build a small wait into the testing process after the page loads-- the test framework is capable of running tests and clicking ""Save this item to Zotero"" much faster than a real user." ajlyon

Then, if the user modifies something beyond the capitalization in either form, we determine the minimum number of deletes and inserts to transform it (classic dynamic programming problem), and if this includes insertion of a new word, we capitalize it/put it in lower case as appropriate. This will require some modifications to the database schema, but is, as far as I can tell, the most intuitive all-encompassing solution.
Alternatively, we could leave the entry UI as is, and use BibTeX-style curly braces to specify that letters should be capitalized as they are. This is the easier solution, but is somewhat lacking in terms of usability." codec

If a locked data directory is opened, there could be a warning saying the database is locked (with some indication of the time it was last accessed) and asking if the user wants to override, but Zotero might need to check the lock file every single time it writes to the DB if we want to prevent corruption. I guess we can test that to see if there'd be a performance penalty.
On the other hand, we don't necessarily need to protect against simultaneous use as long as the warning is clear. If someone left Zotero open on Computer A and wants to work on Computer B, Computer A is theoretically not in use, so as long as Zotero on Computer A checks the lock file periodically, or before a write operation coming after a period of inactivity, and before it attempts to do the shutdown backup, it may not be a problem." dstillman

There may be some rationale for keeping things the way they are, but I thought I would at least mention it.
When a file is added to the library by right clicking on a link or on an image directly in the Firefox window, then selecting ""Save Link [Image] as Zotero Snapshot"", Zotero continues to treat that file in the library as a snapshot, whether it actually is, or not. Functionally, there's little or no difference, but the terminology is a little screwy. For instance, in the info pane of any file that is stored this way, the button says ""View Snapshot"" rather than ""View File"". The icons for PDFs change appropriately, but images and probably most other files appear as snapshot icons, rather than document icons.
Obviously, it does this because, as far as Zotero is concerned the file being stored IS a snapshot. Perhaps that's not the way we want it, though. It would probably make sense, if it's possible, to get Zotero to distinguish what type of file is being stored via Firefox. Changing the file type from a snapshot to a stored file should take care of most of the problems, such as the info pane and the icon, if I understand it correctly. The contextual menu should also be changed, though. Can this be done based on whether the link being stored is an HTML file or something else? ""Save Link as Zotero Snapshot"" becomes ""Save File to Zotero"", say.
I'm also a little leery of using ""Link"" in this context and manner, since a ""Link to a File"" in Zotero is something else entirely, and we're not storing a link in the Zotero sense, but storing a copy." ahoward

2.0 1723 [patch] No-change edit to single-field creator forces two-field mode on next edit interface 2.0 defect dstillman 2010-09-14T02:15:20-04:00 2010-09-14T02:15:20-04:00 "When a creator field is set to single-field mode, and is then opened for editing, and closed without making any change, the next edit of the field will save it in two-field mode, but without reparsing the content. That is, the field content is set like this:
lastName: 'John Doe'
firstName: ''
The cause seems to run as follows. The fieldMode is carried on the textbox, which is destroyed when hideEditor() is run. When the field has not changed, an elem element is minted, but the fieldMode value is not set on it. The elem element must be provided in some way, because it is substituted in at the end of the function, and creators are just one of several field types served by the terminal substitution.
The missing attribute on the element doesn't affect the appearance of the UI until the next showEditor/hideEditor cycle, which is where the behavior comes from.
The story of why things don't break when the field is edited is actually a little more complicated. When the field has changed, hideEditor() calls modifyCreator(), which moves the textbox attribute across to a freshly minted label element, and subs the latter into place. This leaves the textbox (the argument to hideEditor()) as an orphan to the DOM, so although the elem substitution is performed on it at the end of the function, it either breaks without raising an error, or the substitution happens out in nano-space someplace where it can't be seen.
Anyway, the patch seems to work. :)

2.1 1645 Notes need to clearly denote attribution uncategorized 2.1 enhancement dstillman 2010-03-24T10:30:02-04:00 2010-03-24T10:30:02-04:00 Currently, I see no way to figure out who wrote a note. This is a critical limitation in the context of groups, where different people may contribute notes to a given shared item. Ideally, even content within a text area (like a note) could be tied to specific users a la a wiki, but this is less immediately important than simply knowing who created the note. bdarcus

2.1 1748 Date ranges, fuzzy dates, dates BCE data layer 2.1 enhancement dstillman 2010-11-20T04:37:38-05:00 2010-11-20T17:05:29-05:00 "Dates are in flux at the moment, with a firm desire in CSL circles to rely on the Library of Congress EDTF (Extended Date Time Format) standard, but with uncertainty over whether, when eventually finished, that standard will cover all of the use cases needed for rendering citations.
When EDTF becomes available, work will remain to build and test out revisions to the parsing module behind the Zotero UI, for the support of date ranges, fuzzy dates, and dates BCE.
As a first step toward that eventual goal, the attached patch (against the current trunk at r7344) supplies an option that will send the raw date string stored by Zotero to citeproc-js when formatting citations, for onward processing by the processor's own internal parsing module.
This isn't meant as a permanent solution, and I've given the option an ugly name to underline its temporary nature; but it does provide a channel for testing the parser behavior, against the day when agreement can be reached on a serialized date form suitable for data exchange and official recognition in a well specified CSL input format. If the parser proves sufficiently robust, it may also provide a solution for users who require support for these kinds of dates.

2.1 1808 Build snapshots from DOM elements ingester 2.1 enhancement simon * 2011-04-02T12:37:04-04:00 2011-07-28T16:17:32-04:00 "For many sites, there are a few well-defined blocks of content that are of interest. It would save network burden and simplify translator authoring to allow extracted DOM elements to be saved in a separately generated document. The attached patches against the trunk illustrate the approach. The files are:
Diff-enable-dom-object-save.patch
This provides a ""document:"" slot on the translator attachments object, which accepts a DOM document object.
Diff-dom-translator-utility.patch
This is a utility for use in translators, that does the heavy lifting of building a simple web page with DOM elements provided to the function as content.
Diff-mainichi-translator.patch

2.1 1811 Remove ambiguity from two-field names that have only a family value word integration 2.1 enhancement simon 2011-04-06T12:00:08-04:00 2011-04-07T04:59:50-04:00 "Some users have been confused by the handling of names in Zotero 2.1. citeproc-js discriminates between personal and institutional names, and will format these correctly when authorship is by a mixture of persons and the institutions with which they are affiliated. It's not a bad feature, but the interface needs a small adjustment to make it more intuitive.
Currently (Zotero 2.1.5, citeproc-js 1.0.144), any name with a value only in the last name field is treated as an institution, in both Zotero field modes. With the attached patch and citeproc-js 1.0.145 or higher, names in two-field mode will always be treated as personal names. With this change, the UI becomes smoothly intuitive (one-field mode === institution, two-field mode === person). It should pretty well eliminate this category of questions/complaints from the forums.
Looking back, this behavior really should have been documented in the processor manual, so it could be picked up and discussed. But the last small glitches in behavior have been ferreted out in response to user feedback, and if this UI change can be applied, it should work out quite smoothly.
(Note that the patch and the processor upgrade do not absolutely need to be introduced together, although that would be best. If the processor is upgraded without this patch, all names will be treated as personal names (Zotero 2.0.9 behavior). If the patch is applied without a processor upgrade, current Zotero 2.1 behavior will remain the same.)" fbennett

As [http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/14153/%3FFocus%3D91766 raised on the forums], in many common use cases for related items (book reviews, alternative editions, law cases) the title alone does not discriminate between the items, necessitating back-and-forth navigation to identify which source in the list is of interest.
The attached patch implements a disambiguated Related items listing, which is performing well in the multilingual branch. Here is a description of the algorithm (also outlined in the thread linked above).
'''Slots'''
* There are two label slots for each related item (one left- and one right-aligned).
'''Slot fillers'''
1. The author name always shows through in the first slot, if
1. it is present; and
1. it differs from the author of the current item.
1. Three other slot fillers are available (attempted in order):
1. the title (or short title);
1. a composite of volume, issue, and container title; and
1. the date.
1. If 2.1 or 2.2 matches any other item in the listing, it is dropped, and the next info chunk is used instead.
1. If no info chunks are available (and useful for disambiguation), the first slot gets an empty label and the year goes in the last.

""If only one item from an archive:[[BR]]
Do not include locator information (box, etc.) in citation(?),
instead specifying it in the bibliography[[BR]]
Include item information in bibliography
If more than one item from the same archive:[[BR]]
Include locator information in citation[[BR]]
Include only one bibliography entry and exclude item-specific variables""
Australian National Archive requires a different style (see forum discussion above).
Depends on #210." erazlogo
