#1069 closed defect (fixed)

Use async HTTP calls for integration requests

Reported by: dstillman Owned by: simon
Priority: major Milestone:
Component: word integration Version: 1.5

Description

To prevent a deadlock when pasting text from Word or OpenOffice into the Add Citation window on Windows

This will probably require adding something like a non-modal "Waiting for Zotero..." dialog box that closes automatically when the async request completes.

Note: I was very much tempted to mark this as a "blocker" just for the sake of the pun.

I just played around with it, and this probably isn't actually going to work unless I fork a separate thread, which means it might work for the pure Python plug-in but isn't going to work for the VBA plug-in.

(Well, at least not for the VBA plug-in in OOo; it should work in Word.)

Fixed in the Python plugins.
