The `viewerCssTheme` option was not rendered because its entry in
`preferences_schema.json` did not have a `title`.
The order of keys in `preferences_schema.json` determines the order of the
rendered preferences in the options UI. Since `viewerCssTheme` affects the UI
very significantly, I have moved the option to the top.
The intention with preferences such as `sidebarViewOnLoad`/`scrollModeOnLoad`/`spreadModeOnLoad` were always that they should be able to *unconditionally* override their view history counterparts.
Due to the way that these preferences were initially implemented[1], trying to e.g. force the sidebar to remain hidden on load cannot be guaranteed[2]. The reason for this is the use of "enumeration values" containing zero, which in hindsight was an unfortunate choice on my part.
At this point it's also not as simple as just re-numbering the affected structures, since that would wreak havoc on existing (modified) preferences. The only reasonable solution that I was able to come up with was to change the *default* values of the preferences themselves, but not their actual values or the meaning thereof.
As part of the refactoring, the `disablePageMode` preference was combined with the *adjusted* `sidebarViewOnLoad` one, to hopefully reduce confusion by not tracking related state separately.
Additionally, the `showPreviousViewOnLoad` and `disableOpenActionDestination` preferences were combined into a *new* `viewOnLoad` enumeration preference, to further avoid tracking related state separately.
This commit adds `scrollModeOnLoad` and `spreadModeOnLoad` preferences
that control the default viewer state when opening a new document for
the first time.
This commit also contains a minor refactoring of some of the option UI
rendering code in extensions/chromium/options/options.js, as I couldn't
bear creating two more functions nearly identical to the four that
already existed.
In a1cfa5f4d7, the textLayerMode
preference was introduced, to replace the disableTextLayer and
enhanceTextSelection preferences.
As a result, the text selection preference was no longer visible
in Chrome (because preferences are only rendered by default for
boolean preferences, not for enumerations).
This commit adds the necessary bits to
extensions/chromium/options/options.{html,js}
so that the textLayerMode preference can be changed again.
Also, migration logic has been added to move over preferences
from the old to the new names:
- In web/chromecom.js, the logic is added to translate
preferences that were set by an administrator (it is read-only,
so this layer is unavoidable).
- In extensions/chromium/options/migration.js, similar logic is
added, except in this case the preference storage is writable,
so this migration logic happens only once.
The "enhanced text selection" mode is still experimental, so it
has been marked as experimental to signal that there may be bugs.
The list of tasks that block promotion to stable is at #7584.
Add UI for the cursorToolOnLoad pref in the UI of the Chrome extension.
Add logic to migrate the enableHandToolOnLoad pref to cursorToolOnLoad.
For past values in the mutable extension storage area:
1. If enableHandToolOnLoad=true, save cursorToolOnLoad=1.
2. Remove enableHandToolOnLoad.
For the managed extension storage, which is immutable since it is based
on administrative policies, use the following logic:
1. If enableHandToolOnLoad=true and cursorToolOnLoad=0 (default).
set cursorToolOnLoad=0 and assume enableHandToolOnLoad=false.
2. As usual, managed preferences can (and will) be overridden by the user.
The first migration logic is in extensions/chromium/options/migration.js
and can be removed after a few months / less than many years.
The second migration logic is in web/chromecom.js, and should be kept
around for a long while (many years).
The need for this migration logic arises from the change by:
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/7635
Commit df10513e10 unfortunately broke the options dialog of the Chromium extension because the logic required to work with the preference was not added. This patch adds the required logic to show the preference in the options dialog and to persist it to the preferences storage.
Verified using Chromium 50 on Arch Linux.
