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.
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
If we're using GTK+ 2.21.8 (where gtk_dialog_set_has_separator() is
deprecated but the property is still present and defaults to TRUE), we
still need to set the property to FALSE. So instead use g_object_set()
up through GTK+ 2.90.6, after which the property itself is gone.
Unfortunately the default value for this property is TRUE (bzzt, WRONG!)
so we can't just remove the function outright until we require GTK+ 2.22.
It was deprecated in GTK+ 2.21.8.
Given the way the autosave feature was awkwardly bolted on to the
composer, an EExtension seemed like a natural fit. And it helped
clean up some object lifecycle hacks (and bugs).
What we have now is a new module consisting of two EExtensions:
EComposerAutosave extends EMsgComposer and determines when to
kick off an asynchronous autosave operation.
EComposerRegistry extends EShell and offers to restore orphaned
autosave files on startup (which is also asynchronous now).
e-autosave-utils.c holds the actual asynchronous functions and a few
other miscellaneous utility functions.
Source code for the new module lives in /modules/composer-autosave.
EMailShellContent implements the EMailReader interface but acts as a
proxy for EMailPanedView, from which it obtains MessageList and EWebView
widgets. The problem was both classes call e_mail_reader_init_private()
which connects to signals emitted from the MessageList and EWebView
widgets. But since EMailShellContent is a proxy for EMailPanedView,
the signals were being connected twice.
This commit does away with e_mail_reader_init_private(), instead adding
options to e_mail_reader_init() to control what parts of initialization
to run. It's an ugly and temporary hack.
I'm beginning to realize EMailReader is too bloated and needs rethought.
EMailReader should just manage actions. EMailView should own and manage
the widgets, and EMailReader should just have a get_mail_view() method
so it has access to those widgets. That way the EMailView subclasses
won't have to implement EMailReader themselves and wind up allocating
a bunch of duplicate, unused actions.
It's too close to a stable release to rip these interfaces apart and
reorganize them. I'll try to do that for 2.33 to help make the design
more intuitive.
It's easier to use than addressbook_load() but requires starting with
an ESource rather than an EBook, and there's a couple places left where
that's not so easy. I'll spend more time on it later.
e_preferences_window to take factory callbacks and store a reference
to the shell. - This makes start-up substantially faster, particularly
on Atom (eg.).
Remove a number of idle handlers used to create these UIs in the
first instance, cleaning the code.
