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.
To reduce GConf usage in em-composer-utils.c:
- Relevant functions in em-composer-utils.c now take arguments for
reply and forward styles.
- Redundant forwarding functions were removed:
em_utils_forward_attached()
em_utils_forward_inline()
em_utils_forward_quoted()
- EMailReader now has "forward-style" and "reply-style" properties,
which get bound to the appropriate EShellSettings properties in
modules/mail/e-mail-config-reader.c. These same EShellSettings
properties are bound to the combo boxes in Composer Preferences.
So we don't have to access GConf directly from EMFolderTree. The
property gets bound to an EShellSettings property, which is in turn
bound to the "no_folder_dots" GConf key by way of a transform function.
And generate GTypes for each of them in e-mail-enumtypes.[ch].
Also, the glib-gen.mak script forced me to add a <mail/e-mail.h>
top-level header, which really isn't a bad idea anyway.
TODO: We should do this for calendar and addressbook too.
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.
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().
Global variables in shared libraries are a bad idea. EMailBackend now
owns the MailSession instance, which is actually now EMailSession.
Move the blocking utility functions in mail-tools.c to e-mail-session.c
and add asynchronous variants. Same approach as Camel.
Replace EMailReader.get_shell_backend() with EMailReader.get_backend(),
which returns an EMailBackend. Easier access to the EMailSession.
In GTK+ 2.21.8, the keysym names were renamed from GDK_* to GDK_KEY_*.
I've added backward-compatibility macors to gtk-compat.h, which can be
dumped as soon as we require GTK+ >= 2.22.0.
All this time I never realized the subject-thread plugin was nothing
more than a stupid checkbox. The actual thread-by-subject code lives
in the core mail library.
Remove some options from Mail Preferences that aren't worth the screen
real estate they take up. For now, the corresponding GConf keys still
remain and are honored by Evolution. These same options were already
removed for Express mode.
Options removed are:
[ ] Mark messages as read after XXX seconds
[ ] Do not display messages when text size exceeds XXX KB
[ ] Shrink To / Cc / Bcc headers to XXX addresses
[ ] Enable Magic Spacebar
[ ] Enable Search Folders
