The EModule, EExtensible and EExtension classes as well as the
e_type_traverse() function have been moved to Evolution-Data-Server's
libebackend library to replace e-data-server-module.c.
Now Evolution-Data-Server modules use the same framework as Evolution.
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.
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.
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.
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
