This fixes a bug in the old implementation where the application could
crash after a second shell window was created and destroyed, because a
signal handler with the destroyed shell window as the closure was left
connected.
But moreover this simplifies the implementation by using a property
binding plus transform function instead of juggling signal handlers,
and also adds code comments where things get a little tricky.
Removed (now unused) functions:
e_shell_window_get_toolbar_new_prefer_item
e_shell_window_set_toolbar_new_prefer_item
This removes all traces of Express Mode from all but the contact editor
and calendar appointment editor. Need to evaluate the remaining cases
individually.
Evolution consists of entirely too many small utility libraries, which
increases linking and loading time, places a burden on higher layers of
the application (e.g. modules) which has to remember to link to all the
small in-tree utility libraries, and makes it difficult to generate API
documentation for these utility libraries in one Gtk-Doc module.
Merge the following utility libraries under the umbrella of libeutil,
and enforce a single-include policy on libeutil so we can reorganize
the files as desired without disrupting its pseudo-public API.
libemail-utils/libemail-utils.la
libevolution-utils/libevolution-utils.la
filter/libfilter.la
widgets/e-timezone-dialog/libetimezonedialog.la
widgets/menus/libmenus.la
widgets/misc/libemiscwidgets.la
widgets/table/libetable.la
widgets/text/libetext.la
This also merges libedataserverui from the Evolution-Data-Server module,
since Evolution is its only consumer nowadays, and I'd like to make some
improvements to those APIs without concern for backward-compatibility.
And finally, start a Gtk-Doc module for libeutil. It's going to be a
project just getting all the symbols _listed_ much less _documented_.
But the skeletal structure is in place and I'm off to a good start.
I pushed a few EShell features up to GtkApplication for GTK+ 3.2,
so we can now trim off the redundancies in EShell.
1) GtkApplication has a new "window-added" signal which replaces
EShell's own "window-created" signal.
2) GtkApplication has a new "window-removed" signal which replaces
EShell's own "window-destroyed" signal.
3) gtk_application_get_windows() now returns a list of windows sorted
by most recently focused, replacing e_shell_get_watched_windows().
4) GtkApplication now provides enough hooks to subclasses that we can
remove e_shell_watch_window() and call gtk_application_add_window()
directly.
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.
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.
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.

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.)
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.
EFocusTracker tracks the input focus within a window and helps keep
the sensitivity of "selectable" actions in the main menu up-to-date.
Selectable actions include Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All and Delete.
EFocusTracker has built-in support for widgets that implement the
GtkEditable interface such as GtkEntry and GtkTextView. It also
supports custom widgets that implement the ESelectable interface,
which is a subset of GtkEditable and can apply to anything that
displays selectable content (esp. tree views and ETables).
This commit integrates EFocusTracker with EShellWindow, CompEditor,
EMsgComposer, and ESignatureManager.
It also bumps the GtkHTML requirement to 2.29.5 to utilize the new
GtkhtmlEditor:html constructor property.
