In compatible with Zotero 6.0

[tenglu0417]

The plugin seems to be incompatible with the Zotero beta.

This plugin is not currently being maintained. The new PDF reader is much faster than QuickLook ever was. I will accept pull requests to fix the issues needed to make the plugin functional again, but I'm not going to spend time to fix them myself

On osx, being able to page / leaf through your documents via ZoteroQuickLook does make browsing quite a pleasure.
The immediacy of access is really key for doing research.

So when you need to page through a nr of documents ZoteroQuickLook still presents a huge advantage over opening the file in a reader. In terms of browsing, nothing really has changed, since either opening in the new reader or in Preview.app pretty much is the same latency.

@tenglu0417 Please consider a rename to remove the "beta", thanks in advance.

For Mac OS, it appears initScripts or initExecutable is no longer properly completing, the functions. When openQuickLook gets called the this.viewerBaseArguments and this.viewerExecutable are null.

I was able to fix it for Mac by putting this in to set the values.

        this.viewerBaseArguments=['-p'];
        this.viewerExecutable = Zotero.File.pathToFile("/usr/bin/qlmanage");

right after

	openQuickLook: async function(items) {

Note: the install.rdf update to 6.0.* for the maxVesion for the target.

I don't have time to create a proper fork and pull request. Cheers

As I've said multiple times, I am happy to accept a pull request if someone wants to make the plugin compatible with Zotero 6, but I don't have the time to make the updates myself. If you have done so, please submit a pull request.

Thanks!

@zoelir729 @AddictArts Thank all of you for discussing and fixing the issue. But I'm new to Zotero and don't actually understand where to put the code in. Could you please tell me more details about it?

[mronkko]

If you are new to Zotero it is probably not a good idea to start making changes to the code.

I originally developed the plugin and was using it actively until upgrading to Zotero 6. I see value in the ability browse through articles with quicklook and this is not something that the built-in viewer provides. I will probably fix this at some point, but given that this is a side project it is difficult to say when that might be.

[cannolis]

@mronkko Thanks! We will deeply appreciate your help and look forward to the new ZoteroQuickLook Plugin.

Zip these files (Do not zip the upper level folder), and change the .zip into the .xpi.

@zoelir729 A temporary solution:

Tools -> ZotFile Preferences -> Advanced Settings -> "☑️rename special characters (diacritics) from file name"

Update:

Works for non English non Chinese file name, but still does not work for Chinese file name.

@zoelir729 I truly appreciate your timely help!

@zoelir729 I have a quick look at the file named zoteroquicklook.js, and just after I remove the code as below in the function cleanFileName, the plugin works well for the Chinese file name.

    if (this.getPref("usefilenameworkaround") && ! Zotero.isWin){
    filename=filename.replace(/[^A-Z0-9.:\/\\_\- ]/gi,'*');
    }
