Zotero does not warn about missing PDF tools when attempting to retrieve metadata in download dialog
I have a fresh installation of Zotero (3.0 beta 1) without pdftotext and pdfinfo. When I download a PDF and choose "Save to Zotero" and check "Retrieve Metadata for PDF" from the "Opening {filename}" dialog, retrieving metadata starts, but does not ever complete because the PDF tools are missing. Instead of attempting to retrieve metadata, Zotero probably should say that the PDF tools are missing and show the window for installing them, like it does when I choose "Retrieve metadata" manually.
I have also two feature requests relating to this. Would it be possible to include another checkbox to automatically open the downloaded PDF with a default PDF reader? The suggestion is to use the translators on the referring page to retrieve the metadata and only use the PDF metadata retrieval if this first step fails.

Start a new thread for a feature request.
I will start a new thread for a feature request.
It would be nice if this preference could be changed from the Zotero settings dialog.
