* EActivity: Add an "alert-sink" property.Matthew Barnes2010-11-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | This is just for convenience, EActivity does not use this property. Especially useful in async function callbacks when the operation failed and now you have to do something useful with the GError.

* Simplify EActivity.Matthew Barnes2010-10-231-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With unintrusive error dialogs gone, we can cut some unnecessary bits out of EActivity. I'm also adding a new enum property called "state", which is one of: E_ACTIVITY_RUNNING E_ACTIVITY_WAITING E_ACTIVITY_CANCELLED E_ACTIVITY_COMPLETED The state of an activity must be explicitly changed. In particular, when the user cancels an activity the state should be set only after confirming the operation has been cancelled and not when cancellation is requested (e.g. after receiving a G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED, not when the GCancellable emits "cancelled"). EActivityBar and EActivityProxy widgets have been updated to make this distinction clearer in the UI. E_ACTIVITY_WAITING will be used when activities have to be queued and dispatched in sequence, which I haven't written yet.

* Move more account utilities to e-account-utils.c.Matthew Barnes2010-10-191-0/+4
|
* Send errors to an EAlertSink instead of the task bar.Matthew Barnes2010-10-191-24/+0
| | | | | | This marks the end of unintrusive error dialogs, which were too unintrusive. We now show errors directly in the main window using the EAlert / EAlertSink framework.
* EAlert: Allow arbitrary actions to be added.Matthew Barnes2010-10-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | You can now amend the predefined actions in an EAlert by calling e_alert_add_action(). Useful for adding actions from an existing GtkUIManager. Call e_alert_peek_actions() to obtain a combined list of predefined and custom actions. These will typically serve as "related" actions for GtkButtons (cf. gtk_activatable_set_related_action()). Also, both EShellWindow and EShellView now implement EAlertSink. Use EShellWindow for application-wide alerts, EShellView for view-specific alerts.
* Implement EAlertSinkInterface in EShellContent.Matthew Barnes2010-10-181-0/+1
| | | | Use the same alert handling policy as the composer.
* Replace EBinding with GBinding.Matthew Barnes2010-10-141-21/+2
| | | | | | GObject now does property bindings itself. Requires GLib >= 2.26.
* Bug 461769 - Add a --force-online command line optionMatthew Barnes2010-10-141-0/+1
| | | | | Use it to override network availability detection as reported by NetworkManager or other network monitoring software.
* EShellBackend: Respond to EShell::prepare-for-quit signals.Matthew Barnes2010-10-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Listen for "prepare-for-quit" signals from the shell and inhibit shutdown until all the activities we're tracking are finalized. Also, add a couple supporting functions: gboolean e_shell_backend_is_busy (EShellBackend *shell_backend); void e_shell_backend_cancel_all (EShellBackend *shell_backend); These will eventually replace mail_msg_active() and mail_cancel_all().
* Messin around with EAlerts.Matthew Barnes2010-09-301-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying out a new interface called EAlertSink. The idea is to centralize how errors are shown to the user. A GtkWindow subclass would implement the EAlertSink interface, which consists of a single method: void (*submit_alert) (EAlertSink *alert_sink, EAlert *alert); The subclass has complete control over what to do with the EAlert, although I imagine we'll wind up implementing various alert-handling policies as standalone widgets such as EAlertDialog. I'd like to try an EAlertInfoBar. Code that would otherwise display an error dialog itself would instead pass the EAlert to an appropriate EAlertSink and be done with it. Nothing is final yet. Still hacking on EAlert trying to find an API that feels right for these use cases.
* Add a GCancellable to EActivity.Matthew Barnes2010-09-191-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EActivity now uses a GCancellable to manage cancellations, instead of having its own redundant cancellation API. API changes are as follows: + e_activity_get_cancellable() + e_activity_set_cancellable() - e_activity_cancel() - e_activity_is_cancelled() - e_activity_get_allow_cancel() - e_activity_set_allow_cancel() EActivity's "cancelled" signal remains, but only as a repeater for GCancellable::cancelled signals. It should not be emitted directly. The presence of a GCancellable implies that cancellation is allowed. EActivity does not create its own default GCancellable, it has to be given one. If a CamelOperation (cast as a GCancellable) is given, EActivity will configure itself to listen for status updates from the CamelOperation and propagate the information to its own "primary-text" and "percent" properties. These changes allowed me to start cleaning up some of the incredibly convoluted logic in mail-mt.c -- in particular, mail_operation_status() is completely gone now. mail-mt.c is still in a transitional state -- much more significant changes coming soon.
* Update API documentation.Matthew Barnes2010-07-191-1/+520

* Fix places where "~/.evolution" is hard-coded.Matthew Barnes2010-07-091-1/+0
| | | | | Also replace "$USER_DATA_DIR/cache" path constructions with e_get_user_cache_dir().
* Move EPoolv back to Evolution from libedataserver.Matthew Barnes2010-04-011-0/+10
| | | | | MessageList is the only thing still using it. EMemPool is gone now, so it uses CamelMemPool instead (same thing).
* Update API docs.Matthew Barnes2010-03-301-3/+0
|
* Simplify the search UI for express mode.Matthew Barnes2010-03-271-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For express mode: - Move the search bar up to the toolbar. - Hide the "filter" combo box and lock down the first item. - Hide the "scope" combo box and lock down the first item. (This is the combo box with "Current Folder" only in the mailer.) - EShellView owns the search bar widget now instead of EShellContent. - Insert several nasty hacks that will likely come back to bite me.
* Bug 613639 - Evolution hard codes .gnome2Matthew Barnes2010-03-231-0/+1
|
* More API documentation tweaking.Matthew Barnes2010-03-221-3/+3
|
* Demonstrate extending the EExtension API.Matthew Barnes2010-03-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce e_extensible_list_extensions(), which provides extensible objects access to their own extensions, or a subset of them. Convert EShellBackend to an abstract EExtension subtype. EShell will load its extensions with e_extensible_load_extensions(), and then obtain a list of EShellBackend extensions as follows: shell_backends = e_extensible_list_extensions ( E_EXTENSIBLE (shell), E_TYPE_SHELL_BACKEND); Because EShellBackend is abstract, its GType is skipped while traversing the GType hierarchy to find EShell extensions.
* Document EExtensible and EExtension.Matthew Barnes2010-03-221-0/+34
| | | | | | The mechanism here is simple but hard to explain without leaning heavily on object-oriented jargon. Consider this a rough draft. Illustrations would certainly help clarify.
* Shell and UI manager cleanups.Matthew Barnes2010-03-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the EVO_EXPRESS environment variable with an --express command line option. (Note, this adds a new translatable string for --help.) Add an EUIManager class with an "express-mode" property and custom load functions that use our new "express" preprocessor. This replaces the UI manager functions in e-utils.c. (Also going to see if I can get GTK+ to add an "add_ui_from_string" method to GtkUIManagerClass that we can override. Then we could just call gtk_ui_manager_add_ui_from_string() and the preprocessor would automatically do its thing and chain up.) Add an "express-mode" read-only GObject property to EShell. Add e_shell_configure_ui_manager() to e-shell-utils.c. For now this just creates a one-way property binding: EShell:express-mode -> EUIManager:express-mode Call this immediately after e_ui_manager_new(). (EUIManager can't do this itself because it lives too low in the dependency hierarchy and doesn't know about EShell.)
* Update API documentation.Matthew Barnes2010-02-101-1/+8
| | | | Also, start fixing some Gtk-Doc warnings. There's a lot.
* Add a EShellWindow::shell-view-created signal.Matthew Barnes2010-01-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The signal uses the name of the newly created shell view as the detail, so for example "shell-view-created::mail" is emitted when the "mail" view is created. Also, add e_shell_window_peek_shell_view() to obtain a shell view if it exists but without instantiating it. Using these new tools, teach the templates plugin to wait for the user to switch to the "mail" view before connecting to its "update-actions" signal. Previously is was instantiating the "mail" view itself.
* Refactor the EShell search API.Matthew Barnes2009-12-191-28/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the search interface to a new widget: EShellSearchbar The current search rule is now stored in EShellView, and the search context in EShellViewClass similar to GalViewCollection (since it's class-specific, not instance-specific). Also add a couple new signals to EShellView: "clear-search" and "custom-search" ("custom" refers to an advanced search or a saved search -- something more complex than a quick search). Still working out a few kinks. The search entry is clearly trying to be too many things. We need a different way of indicating that you're looking at search results. Perhaps a search results banner similar to Nautilus.
* Add an EShell:module-directory constructor property.Matthew Barnes2009-12-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This tells EShell where to look for EModules. Best practice is to define the directory in your CPPFLAGS and then pass it to EShell at instantiation time, like so: Makefile.am: evolution_CPPFLAGS = \ -DMODULEDIR=\""$(moduledir)"\" ... main.c: shell = g_object_new ( E_TYPE_SHELL, "module-directory", MODULEDIR, ...);
* Add private virtual methods to EShellWindowClass.Matthew Barnes2009-12-021-20/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So Anjal can override what it needs to for its own purpose. Also makes the EShellWindow design a little cleaner. Methods added: GtkWidget * (*construct_menubar) (EShellWindow *shell_window); GtkWidget * (*construct_toolbar) (EShellWindow *shell_window); GtkWidget * (*construct_sidebar) (EShellWindow *shell_window); GtkWidget * (*construct_content) (EShellWindow *shell_window); GtkWidget * (*construct_taskbar) (EShellWindow *shell_window); EShellView * (*create_shell_view) (EShellWindow *shell_window, const gchar *view_name); Also added some new GObject properties to help decouple actions from internal EShellWindow widgets created by these methods: EShellWindow:sidebar-visible EShellWindow:switcher-visible EShellWindow:taskbar-visible EShellWindow:toolbar-visible

* Kill e-cursor(s) (both of them).Matthew Barnes2009-11-101-2/+0
|
* Convert some "Save As" actions to run asynchronously.Matthew Barnes2009-11-081-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | This introduces e-shell-utils for miscellaneous utility functions that integrate with the shell or shell settings. First function is e_shell_run_save_dialog(), which automatically remembers the selected folder in the file chooser dialog. Also, kill some redundant save dialog functions, as well as some write-this-string-to-disk functions that block.
* Remove redundant URI/filename conversion functions.Matthew Barnes2009-11-061-2/+0
| | | | | Use g_filename_to_uri() instead of e_util_filename_to_uri(). Use g_filename_from_uri() instead of e_util_uri_to_filename().
* Rename EShellImporter to EImportAssistant and move it to widgets.Matthew Barnes2009-09-261-18/+0

* Fix some mistakes in the EShell documentation.Matthew Barnes2009-09-031-1/+1
|
* Introduce an EShellView::execute-search signal.Matthew Barnes2009-09-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This addresses bug #593896 but is also a cleaner design than before. It introduces an EShellView::execute-search signal and renames the "search-execute" action to "search-quick" to clarify that it's only meant for the "quick" search bar in the main window. Shell view subclasses should implement the execute_search() method to actually execute a search. e_shell_view_execute_search() emits the new signal.

* Make filter options for mail labels work again.Matthew Barnes2009-02-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Define a new shell module method named start() that tells the module when to start loading data and running background tasks. Only really applies to the mail module right now since the others use evolution-data-server. Basically it prevents the mail module from loading and refreshing mail stores until you actually switch to the mail view. svn path=/branches/kill-bonobo/; revision=37309
* Rename EShell:online-mode to EShell:online and update docs.Matthew Barnes2009-02-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | Use EBindings instead of a notify callback to keep other widgets and actions synchronized with EShell:online. Cleaner and less error prone. svn path=/branches/kill-bonobo/; revision=37293

* Make MailSession available through EShellSettings so composer can use it.Matthew Barnes2009-02-131-0/+2
| | | | svn path=/branches/kill-bonobo/; revision=37257
* Rewrite the mail label code from top to bottom.Matthew Barnes2009-02-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Kill the e-util-labels API and read label information into a single-column GtkListStore. Use GConfBridge to automatically keep GConf synched with the list store. - The list store (a singleton instance) is stored in EShellSettings so it's available everywhere. - The list store serves as the model for EMailLabelTreeView, which itself is embedded in EMailLabelManager; a complete label management UI as seen in the preferences dialog. - EMailLabelDialog is used to add or edit a label. Avoid using a color button, instead embed a GtkColorSelection directly in the dialog so everything is in one window. Open issues: - The weird toggle/color/text menu items in the popup menu aren't there. For now they're just regular toggle items. I'll deal with it later. - Filter intergration is broken at the moment. svn path=/branches/kill-bonobo/; revision=37233
* When invoking Evolution with URIs on the command-line (e.g. mailto:),Matthew Barnes2009-01-291-2/+3
