Configuring and submitting an EActivity for every mail operation is
getting tedious. This function helps reduce boilerplate code by:
* Creating a new EActivity instance.
* Installing an EAlertSink using e_mail_reader_get_alert_sink().
* Installing a GCancellable (which is really a CamelOperation).
* Submitting the activity via e_shell_backend_add_activity().
I'm considering adding a similar function (or class method) for
EShellView. Not sure yet...
Convenience function for use in GAsyncReadyCallback functions.
This acknowledges the cancellation, so that the activity's description
changes from "(cancelling)" to "(cancelled)" and the description appears
crossed out in the UI for a moment before disappearing.
This one's a little involved:
- EMailShellView now obtains a CamelFolder itself in response to
EMFolderTree::folder-selected signals. Uses EActivity to do so.
- Revise EMFolderTree::folder-selected signal arguments to be more
useful: emit a CamelStore object instead of a folder URI.
- Also revise EMFolderTree::folder-activiated signal arguments the
same way while we're at it.
- Remove the "folder_uri" argument from e_mail_reader_set_folder().
If you have a CamelFolder object you can obtain the URI string by
calling camel_folder_get_uri().
With lockdown settings available through GSettings, widgets can handle
lockdown integration themselves without having to use EShellSettings.
Also fixed a few places where printing or save-to-disk actions were
either not properly wired up or not responding to lockdown settings,
but much more work needs done. Attachments, for example, are not
honoring the disable-save-to-disk setting at all.
This too requires the recently-added gsettings-desktop-schemas
dependency.
If the migration phase has to show a dialog the idle callback for
intializing mail stores will run too soon. Instead, hook it onto
the EShellBackend start() method.
Migration code can initialize mail stores early if it needs to.
