    Oh, right about the event listener issue for the plugin. I'd read that earlier but then forgot. It would be amazing to be able to check page numbers when adding citations, though.

    Hi,

    the plug-in stopped working at my computer. I can't really say after which update this happened but I get the following error message:
    The grayish quick view window opens but it does not show the pdf. It shows an empty white page on the left with the location on the right. The location is something like this
    ?User?greg?Documents?Literature?name.pdf
    All of my pdfs are linked to the Zotero items not attached. The plug-in used to work fine at some point...

    greg

    ps: I am using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.3.

    weird - same here on Linux - the error report says:
    "[JavaScript Error: "Zotero is not defined" {file: "chrome://zoteroquicklook/content/zoteroquicklook.js" line: 29}]"

    edit: restarted FF and it works again - I never had more than one open window, though.

    The bugs reported this far have been fixed. I will release a new version in the next few days. The reason for waiting is that MaComfort has added command line support in their development version and I am waiting for them to release so that I can introduce windows support defaulting to MaComfort in the next version.

    Some of the issues reported here are caused by bugs in the file name workaround. You can disable that in about:config. Search for zoteroquiciklook and you will find the preference.

    MaComfort has released a new version that added command line support. The next version of ZoteroQuickLook that will be released during the first days of next month will default to this on Windows. Also this will introduce a fix to file name workaround and turn file name workaround off by default.

    I'm testing version 1.0.5 with ff 3.6.3 / zotero 2.0.3 on windows. I set "extensions.zoteroquicklook.customviewcommand" to Acrobat / SumatraPDF / MuPDF as advised, but can't get i it working, wheter filename workaround is enabled or not. Error message is "the custom view command f:\mupdf.exe does not exits". Did i miss something?

    Thanks.

    It does for sure.
    Got it, anyway. A mistyped if-condition in zoteroquickkook.js, line 44-46:
    old:
    if(_!_file.exists() == false)
    new:
    if(file.exists() == false)

    @mronkko: any news from maComfort ? I do not find the new version that sbl was speaking ... :(

    EDIT: I've actually downloaded and installed maComfort 1.5 and set extensions.zoteroquicklook.customviewcommand to C:\Program Files\maComfort\maComfort.exe but I get an error message: "The custom view command C:\Program Files\maComfort\maComfort.exe does not exits".

    Got it!
    In order to use ZoteroQuickLook with maComfort on MS-Windows:

    1) Download maComfort and ZoteroQuickLook. Install them.

    2) Type about:config into Firefox address bar. Then edit extensions.zoteroquicklook.customviewcommand and enter the full path of maComfort.exe **without** quotation marks. => C:\Program Files\maComfort\maComfort.exe (or something like that)

    3)Close Firefox.

    4)Open zoteroquicklook.js (with a text editor). You can find it in your Firefox profile directory, then open "extensions\zoteroquicklook@gmail.com\chrome".

    4a)As it was noticed above (by bugmenot), in zoteroquickkook.js, you must remove the exclamation mark on line 44, i.e.:
    replace: if(!file.exists() == false)
    by: if(file.exists() == false)

    4b)On line 48, replace: var args=[];
    by: var args=["-ql"];

    4c) Save zoteroquicklook.js. Open Firefox, Zotero: that should work.

    Hope that helps...

    Great plugin: thank you mronkko!

    There a a couple of ways to fix the non-english characters issue if someone is willing to take a look at it now. The non-english characters can be converted to ? wildcards (this is what the current workaroudn does already) and then these filenames can be resolved with ls or find command and then executing these with qlmanage

    Something like this

    find [path] -name "filename.pdf" -exec /usr/bin/qlmanage -p {} \;

    This can be called directly or through a shell script.

    There is now a new version available for testing at

    http://www.tkk.fi/u/mronkko/zoteroquicklook.xpi

    Changes include
    * On Linux and Mac quick look is called through a perl script that resolves wildcards in file names. This solves the problem with non-ascii characters in file names
    * The default behavior on Windows is now to look for MaComfort and use that if it is available.

    Currently there is no support for non-ascii characters in file names on Windows. If someone is willing to port the perl script as Windows shell script, then support will be added.

    Please report test results here. If no major bugs are found, I will make a new release through the mozilla extensions site.

    @mronkko: Great. Was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, the new version seems completely unresponsive to my attempts at activating it. (Either via menu or the Spacebar). Tried it on webshots and various pdfs – with english and non-english characters in the title –, disabled and re-enabled the extensions.zoteroquicklook.usefilenameworkaraound (in about:config) took out any possibly offensive add-ons from FF – no luck to see Quicklook in action.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    This is most likely a permission problem (and of course a bug). If you got to ~/Application Support/Firefox/profiles/(name of your profile)/extensions/zoteroquicklook@gmail.com/chrome/content and modify the permissions for file zoteroquicklook.pl. It needs execute permissions.

    Meanwhile, I will try to figure out to way to get the permissions correct on install.

Found an include.js, an overlay.xul, a zoteroquicklook.js and a zoteroquicklook.sh. Changed all their permissions with chmod 755 (for good measure...) but had no luck invoking Zoteroquicklook after this. Let me know what else i can try.

    Amazing! You've done it. After fixing the permissions (-x) in the newly appeared zoteroquicklook.pl it works beautifully: Pdfs with spaces in the title, with non-English characters, with diacritica, multiple pdfs, 300-page-pdfs, linked jpgs (on my HD), webshots – all accessible with your plug-in. Very delightful.

    One condition seems to be that the Zotero entry and the file-name are identical (for both pdf and html-webshots alike); when they are not ZQL brings up the generic white icon. In most cases the pdf-title and the Zotero entry are identical but in a number of cases they are not (one entry has several pdfs or an added webshot) and the latter (by Zotero default) take as title the title of the source webpage. Is it possible to let ZQL open html and pdf objects without their filename having to be identical with the name of the Zotero entry they are filed under?

    @mronkko: step-by-step to recreate problem with ZoteroQuickLook
    In FF:
    -Go to URL: http://forums.zotero.org/categories/
    -Create snapshot in Zotero („new entry from current page“)
    -Find new entry in Zotero center pane („Zotero Forums - Categories“)
    -Select snapshot contained in above entry (same title as entry „Zotero Forums - Categories“)
    Invoke ZQL (via spacebar or contextual menu-item „Quicklook“)
    [Would expect ZQL to open the html-file but nothing happens]

    Checking the title of the actual html-file (not the title of the snapshot in Zotero’s center pane) with the „Show file“-button: Zotero will open one of its folders with a file called „Categories.html“

    -Going back to Zotero’s center pane and select above snapshot („Zotero Forums - Categories“)
    -Use contextual menu „Rename file with metadata“ (this adds „.html“ to the title visible in Zotero’s center pane); „Show File“ in right pane reveals that the actual file name has now changed from „Categories.html“ to „Zotero Forums - Categories.html“ i.e. it is now identical (a) to name of main entry in center pane (b) to name of snapshot contained in main entry.
    -Invoke ZQL: (via spacebar or contextual menu-item „Quicklook“)
    [all is well ZQL: shows up and displays the html-snapshot as expected]

    Something similar happens with pdfs: if main entry (in central pane) and the title of file attached are identical (in Zotero's storage subfolders) ZQL displays them; if they are different (as maybe the case if one entry has many attached pdfs with differing titles and filenames) they are not being displayed with ZQL.
    If manually changed (with the contextual menu's "Rename file with main entry's metadata") ZQL displays them again.

    It would be good if ZQL could display html and pdf files that have different names from a main entry in Zotero.

    Hope this is detailed enough for you to make sense of. (Im using a non-english setup and have to retranslate Zot's menupoints.)

    @ mronkko: After your last response I tried it again in a guest account with a new install of FF, Zot and ZQL and came to to same results as you in the video. (Thanks for this, yes you got my point). Went back to my normal account and tried it with my usual settings on the same pages - no success.
    The crux seems to be that in my normal setup I use a specified directory for Zotero's storage, differing from the default setting in FF's profile. If I set this back to the Zotero default in the 'Advanced'-tab in the Zotero's preferences (i.e. to the FF profile) then all seems to work fine. (Maybe it is possible for ZQL to allow for a customized storage-folder?) Sorry for misleading you with parts of my post above.

    In my normal account, I have a storage directory outside firefox profile and everything works.

    Try to switch debug on and debug level to three (extensions.zotero.debug.level) and run Firefox from command line.

    (see http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output)

    You should get something like this in the console:

    zotero(3)(+0001970): ZoteroQuickLook active

    1) On Win7:
    I get this error message:
    "C:Program FilesmaComfortmaComfort.exe is missing. Please install MaComfort into this directory or spesify a custom view command instead."
    I thought it was a problem with escape char (backslash) but it does not work even if I change the line 80 of zoteroquicklook.js : file.initWithPath("C:\\Program Files\\maComfort\\maComfort.exe");
    Strange...

    adamsmith: There indeed seems to be something not working when running the plugin in linux.

    OK, there is now a new version available for download. This adds some more information to output for debugging.

    The problem on Linux is quite tricky: When you press space, the plugin creates a new process that opens the gloobus window. When you press space again, the plugin checks if the process exists and is alive. If so, the plugin kills the process. For some reason when the process is launched from the add citation dialog, checking the status will freeze the browser.

    I disabled checking if the process is alive if the system is Linux and now the system works. Apparently gloobus takes focus when it activates and closes with space. (QuickLook on OS X does not take focus when it activates and thus the need to kill the process from the plugin.)

    Anyway, it works now on my Linux. (And a new version is available for download.)

    There is now a new version that fixes the Windows issues. The download address is the same.

    Test reports are more than welcome. I intend to publish this in the Mozilla Extensions Directory on Monday.

    @mronkko:
    My last post was not clear. It does not work even with double backslash (\\).

    I tried to understand what's going wrong on Win: I've tested the three different versions of ZQL that you've released since yesterday (all "0.2.0"). I'll call them 0.2.0a (the first one); 0.2.0b (the second one); 0.2.0c (today).
    None of these versions work. But 0.2.0a is displaying a warning message ("C:Program FilesmaComfortmaComfort.exe is missing. etc)

    ----
    The debug output (only the last lines: when I'm pressing spacebar) with:
    -0.2.0a

    zotero(3): ZoteroQuickLook active. Dialog: false

    zotero(3): ZoteroQuickLook opening viewer

    -0.2.0b

    zotero(3): ZoteroQuickLook active. Dialog: false

    -0.2.0c

    Nothing in the debug output!

    -----

    These tests gave the same result (in the debug output) when I set zoteroquicklook.customviewcommand to C:\Program Files\maComfort\maComfort.exe

    Hope that can help. Thank you for everything.

    [Win 7-32bits; FF 3.6.6]

    ----
    EDIT: With ZQL 0.1.5 (and these changes), it works perfectly and the debug output is:

    zotero(3): ZoteroQuickLook active

    zotero(3): ZoteroQuickLook opening viewer

    zotero(3): ZoteroQuickLook active

    Gracile: Do you have maComfort installed and is it located at C:\Program Files\maComfort\maComfort.exe?

    If you get nothing from the latest version, you should reinstall the plugin. There were some errors that I fixed, but since this thread was quiet, I did not announce them.

    After this current feature set is done and works on all three platforms, I will add a feature for browsing PDFs with quicklook on using the arrow keys.

    Yes, of course.

    0.2.0d
    It's now working well... if I set zoteroquicklook.filenameworkaround to false (french accent in filename)

    One minor problem: if I press spacebar to close the ZQL, it closes then immediately reopens (except with pdf!!!?)

    Thank you very much. That's great!

    I have not really implemented the workaround on Windows. I have now disabled it completely for Win regardless of the preference.

    This is a new issue. Thanks for reporting. I will take a look at it on Sunday afternoon.

    @mronkko: Have installed the latest of your updates and post here the debug output – the user experience is the same as stated above (generic icon instead of text display). Thought this might help since you have added more debugging options.

    The action:
    - load page in browser
    - Use Zotero's 'Create new entry from current page' button
    - Invoke ZQL with main entry [produces generic icon in ZQL-HUD]
    - Close ZQL with spacebar
    - Invoke ZQL with actual webshot contained in main entry [produces generic icon in ZQL-HUD]
    - Close ZQL with spacebar
    (I can confirm that the document /Users/amw/Documents/Zettelbank/Zotero/storage/8AM85WDI/etexts.html is on my system and accessible when opened in FF).

    mronkko - I've played around and haven't found any more issues in Ubuntu Linux.
    Gloobus has also improved a bit, so this is looking quite nifty!

    A new version is now available in the same address as before.

    Changes:
    -Fixed the windows issue reported by Gracile
    -A minor change that might solve the issue reported by kithairon
    -Moving up and down in the item list with arrow keys when quicklook is showing now changes the active quicklook item.

    If no bugs are found, I will publish this version through Mozilla Extensions Directory.

    Thanks for the update; moving up and down the list is nice. Re my issue reported earlier, nothing has changed. ZQL works fine and flawless when Zotero's storage is in Firefox's profile. If I use any other location on my system ZQL only opens pdfs and webshot if their filename (in Zot's storage folder) is absolutely identical with the entry's title in Zotero's center pane. By default, Zotero doesn't do this when capturing webshots. If I subsequently use the "Rename file with metadata" on the freshly captured attachment ZQL works gracefully. The same is true for Pdfs: if entry-title and filename are identical, all is well; if not, then ZQL produces the generic white icon. Tried moving Zotero storage do different locations, disabled all my other FF add-ons; tried with single or mulitple FF windows: no changes in ZQL's behaviour. If you're interested in more debug output let me know.

    When you get this in the log


    ZoteroQuickLook calling a shell command: /usr/bin/perl /Users/amw/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/fwq67dk5.default/extensions/zoteroquicklook@gmail.com/chrome/content/zoteroquicklook.pl /Users/amw/Documents/Zettelbank/Zotero/storage/8AM85WDI/etexts.html

    What happens if you execute the command in terminal?


    /usr/bin/perl "/Users/amw/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/fwq67dk5.default/extensions/zoteroquicklook@gmail.com/chrome/content/zoteroquicklook.pl" /Users/amw/Documents/Zettelbank/Zotero/storage/8AM85WDI/etexts.html

    Does it show something?

    Executed the path above in Terminal: QuickLook HUD comes up and displays the familiar generic icon with the text >etexts.html"< (no initial quotes).
