This is a bit of filechooser internals that gets shared with
nautilus, which is fine, but it shouldn't be part of our
public API. There are no other users than nautilus.
This API allows specifying a GType and va_args of a value of that type
to set the clipboard contents. This massively simplifies setting weird
object types into the clipboard.
2 example patches included in this patch are the GtkTextBuffer and the
file list in the file chooser.
Using gobject-introspection, this should work without specifying the
type, so that you can literlally say
clipboard.set ("Hello World")
or
clipboard.set (pixbuf)
which is why I've also marked all other setters as (skip). They just
exist in C as wrappers for type safety reasons.
This is in preparation of using input streams to show that these
coordinates aren't needed most of the time and can otherwise be saved
during GtkWidget::drag-drop.
Instead of allowing people to pass a uint user-data, insist on them
comparing mime types.
The user data was a uint instead of a pointer anyway, so uniqueness
could not be guaranteed and it caused more issues than it was worth.
And that's ignoring the fact that it basically wasn't used.
Change constructors to reflect that.
While doing so, also add a fallback argument to the cursor constructors,
so it is now possible to create cursors with fallback.
This patch makes that work using 1 of 2 options:
1. Add all missing enums to the switch statement
or
2. Cast the switch argument to a uint to avoid having to do that (mostly
for GdkEventType).
I even found a bug while doing that: clearing a GtkImage with a surface
did not notify thae surface property.
The reason for enabling this flag even though it is tedious at times is
that it is very useful when adding values to an enum, because it makes
GTK immediately warn about all the switch statements where this enum is
relevant.
And I expect changes to enums to be frequent during the GTK4 development
cycle.
Since setting a clip is mandatory for almost all widgets, we can as well
change the size-allocate signature to include a out_clip parameter, just
like GtkCssGadget did. And since we now always propagate baselines, we
might as well pass that one on to size-allocate.
This way we can also make sure to transform the clip returned from
size-allocate to parent-coordinates, i.e. the same coordinate space
priv->allocation is in.
Showing all the different errors and warnings when renaming and creating
files/folders without potentially resizing popovers on every keystroke
requires us to know the size of the error messages beforehand, so pack
all of the possible error messages and warnings in labels and those into
a stack. This way we can also neatly crossfade transition between them.

When filechooer is re-used (instead of being created and destroyed
every time it's needed), it might happen that the directory the
application wishes to initially show is the same directory that
was shown last time the filechooser was used. In that case, make sure
filechooser knows that it does not need to do its default "select $pwd
or $home" routine.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766122
We weren't using the open flags on the other locations signal, which
makes impossible for applications like nautilus to act in the same
way that for any other location where the user can choose between
opening in the current view, in a new window or in a new tab.
Add a new signal with an open flags parameter and deprecate
the other-location signal.

With the location entry up in the header bar in save mode, we can
end up with the search model being in use when the user types in
the location entry. In this case, we don't make the Save button
sensitive as we should.
Having two entries in the dialog is somewhat confusing anyway,
so just stop the search when the user starts typing in the location
entry.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761757
Calling _gtk_file_consider_as_remote() with a NULL argument
results in warnings being thrown.
Note that query->priv->location being NULL is a state that does
not seem to be invalid by itself.
This could happen if you do search-as-you-type in a filechooser,
which has a filter that does not match anything *and* the current
"place" selected is "Recent".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761552
Since 39c2d12330,
priv->operation_mode == OPERATION_MODE_BROWSE no longer
guarantees that priv->browse_files_model is the current
model of the list - we are only switching the models after
loading the new directory. Avoid triggering the assertion
in show_and_select_files by checking if we have right model
before calling it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761209
In some situations (no header bar, save mode), hitting Escape
would not do anything because the entry ate the key event.
Fix this by telling the entry to only handle Escape when there
is something to do, such as switching back to the path bar.

Commit 8e975b2 (Bug 753969) introduced check of parent accessibility.
Consequently it is not possible to save file if executable attribute
is not set, which might happen for some gvfs backends. Let's assume
that the folder is accessible even if the attribute is not set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760881
Since we are now interpreting button press events and
make our own double-click determination, we should not
handle double-click events that are generated by GDK.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757950
When the search entry is shown, the 'special' nature of
., ~ and / should not trigger the location entry, because
that interrupts the search and is likely not what the
user intended.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756505
Move focus to list when search results appear to make it
possible to select the first search result by just hitting
Enter. To keep this from interfering with keynav, we need
to make sure that we still handle Escape to search. And when
search comes up empty, we need to move the focus back to the
entry.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755926
The stack calls gtk_widget_grab_focus on the last focus widget,
which selects the text in the entry, so we need to make sure to
move the focus there first to keep that from happening.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755931
When right-clicking in an empty folder, you should get a context
menu, not a crash. The code for positioning the popover was not
handling the eventuality of no row under the pointer. Just position
the popover right at the click location in this case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755021
If we manually enter an unaccessible path in the entry, e.g
"/root/foo.txt", we should receive an error saying that the
folder is not accessible instead of showing the replace
confirmation dialog.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753969
We only load thumbnails when we find that the row is in the visible
range of the treeview. It seems that animated scrolling makes it so
that the bottommost row stays out of the visible range until it is
too late. To work around this, extend the range by one row in each
direction.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753142
Interpret a unmodified primary click on the selection like a double
click. This makes it possible to activate a file or open a folder
without using double-click.
Make GtkSearchHit carry a GFile instead of an uri. Most of the
search engines already have the object around, and converting
to an uri and back is unnecessary extra work.
It is a bit pointless to have the file chooser get a uri from an
existing GFile to put in the query, only to have some of the search
engines reconstruct a GFile from it.
When using the location popup to complete to a directory name
(with a trailing /), we should not punish the user by making the
Open button insensitive and preventing the Enter key from doing
the expected thing (switching to that directory).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752708
The save_widgets_create function was not safe against
being called multiple times in save mode, calling
gtk_file_chooser_set_create_folders was a way to trigger
this crash.
We generally have const getters for strings, and the two users
of this API were promptly leaking the (unexpected) copy they
got from gtk_query_get_location and gtk_query_get_text.
I forgot to clean up the long press gesture, and in additon, creating
the rename popover from the ui template was causing the tree view
to not be disposed when the file chooser goes away. Work around this
by manually unsetting the relative-to widget of the popover in dispose.
With the name entry being in the header bar now, we no longer
get bindings working by just letting the key event bubble up,
we have to explicitly apply them on key events that the save
entry is not handling.
Previous patch modified places sidebar widget to stop handling
fixed devices by adding an "Other Locations..." item. Up to now,
however, these changes are isolated from each other since the
bundled file manager widgets ignore the sidebar requests for
external management of fixed devices and networks.
To fix that, make the file chooser widget be aware of the
GtkPlacesSidebar::show-other-locations signal and, when requested,
show places view to manage the fixed devices and networks.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752034
With the previous approach, we could only show the spinner
before we had any results. With the new approach, we can just
leave the timeout in place and always show the spinner until
the search is done.
We were showing things like "Searching in (null)" if the current
folder is not in the sidebar. Avoid that by falling back to using
current_folder.
Pointed out by Carlos Soriano.
Even if we only ever hit the code with a singleton selection,
calling gtk_tree_selection_get_selected is not ok if the tree
selection mode allows multi-selection. Replace all calls to
gtk_tree_selection_get_selected in the file chooser code with
callback loops iterating over the selection. This problem
was introduced with the recently added rename and delete
menuitems.
Whenever we change directories, we unset the model, and then
we set a new model. This causes several emissions of
GtkTreeSelection::changed, for each of which we do a bunch
of work to update the path bar, the location entry, etc.
We can savely ignore some of these signals, and do less work.
There is no need to animate things when we are just setting up
the startup mode, so disable transitions in the revealer and
the stack. Pointed out by Carlos Soriano
The warning is not intended to disable the Create button and must only be shown
when the folder is not found, so this is implemented in the folder name exists
callback.
A "name" entry was added to FileExistsData to pass the filename to the callback
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751800
Allow the name and location columns to be resized, but arrange
for their sizing to be reset when the column layout changes (either
by the location column appearing/disappearing, or by the time
column changing between mtime and atime. This gives a decent
compromise between good automatic sizing and user control.
The code for getting the selected files was assuming that
we are always in browse mode, and was causing warnings when
hitting Ctrl-L twice, right after opening the file chooser.
The fix is to simple use the model that is passed into the
callback.
Avoid reloading models unnecessarily, e.g. when the user
switches to search and back without starting a search.
Keep the current list contents visible until a search is
actually started. Also, synchronize any changes in the
column layout with the corresponding model changes.
This search engine reuses the GFileInfo that is already loaded
for the file list, to ensure that hits from the current directory
always appear promptly.
Don't show Recent in the sidebar when we are in save mode.
We also ignore the startup-mode = recent in save mode now - we
don't want to populate the file list with recent files if Recent
is not on the sidebar. If you really want to go there, you can
still enter recent:// in the location entry.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751653
In save modes, the entry is really more for entering a name than
entering a full location, so don't go there eagerly when '.', '/'
or '~' are pressed. Make Ctrl-L work better in this mode too.
Use the same code that brings up the location entry on '/',
'~' or '.' also when the focus is not on the file list. This
prevents those key presses on the sidebar from ending up in
the search entry.
Some internal containers were erroneously taking focus, interrupting
the flow of tab keynav, and using arrow keynav to go from the file
list to the sidebar did not work anymore, after the recent sidebar
rewrite.
Make the file chooser entry optionally capture Escape
and emit a signal. Make the file chooser widget hide the
entry on that signal and go back to the path bar.
This gives us a two-level undo:
location entry -> path bar -> dialog close.
When the location entry is permanently displayed in the
header for save mode, we still let the first Escape close
the dialog.
Arrange things so that hitting Escape during a running
search stops the search, but leaves the search results
around, and hitting Escape again leaves the search mode.
The location column did not work for search results in recent://.
Fix that by looking at the target uri in this case. Show the location
column in recent mode. And make it more similar to nautilus by
showing the full path if it is not below $HOME.
When the search engine provides hits with GFileInfo, use that
to add the hits to the model directly, without going through
another round of async get_info calls.
To do this, we add a batched variant of the
_gtk_file_system_model_update_file call that takes lists of
GFiles and GFileInfos. Again, we can avoid repeated resorting
that happens when the files are updated individually.
Use a revealer to manage the visibility of the header area where
we show the pathbar, the location entry or search. This is a bit
smoother, and makes search more similar to a search bar.
Since nautilus merge, we were not showing 'Recent' in the sidebar
if GIO did not support the recent: scheme. But the file chooser
can show recent files independent of gvfs - it loads the recent
files manually. This is relevant on Windows and OS X, where gvfs
is typically not used.
This commit adds a show-recent property which can be used to override
the recent: scheme check. We use it in the file chooser.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750068
When recent files are not supported in gvfs, or turned off by
settings, we should not try to load them even if the startup
mode says so. This prevents inconsistency with the places
sidebar where 'Recent' will not appear in this case.
I managed to stall recent files today while trying to save a GTK
testcase in glade that contained enough spinning spinners that the CPU
was saturated just redrawing things.
I had to navigate the filesystem!
This signal can be emitted by GtkSearchEntry after search has been
cancelled, and other operation mode is set. It doesn't make sense to
populate the search model in that state anymore, so just avoid doing it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745479
The search engine might stay alive longer due to extra temporary refs, so
the signal handlers should be removed for the filechooser to ignore these
properly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745479
Avoid scrolling animation when scrolling to where we want
to insert the new folder, since adding the entry doesn't
do the right thing if the treeview is still scrolling.
An alternative would be to wait for the animated scrolling
to reach its target before starting the editing, but this
is easier.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729366
We were trying to start search when the user types anything,
but this is annoying more often than helpful, and interferes
with the location entry. So, stick with explicitly enabled
search (via the search button or Alt-S) for now.
Add a button to allow restricting search to the current
folder (and subdirectories). This makes the search more
useful, and makes the file chooser more similar to
nautilus.
In search, we show files from differnt locations, and it makes
sense to show where they come from. This makes the file chooser
more similar to nautilus, too.
Folders that show up among search results were unexpectedly
returned even for GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN. Change things
around so that we switch to the folder instead, which is the
behavior we had in GTK+ 2.x.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744204
It is a bit misleading to have one of the places in the sidebar
selected while in search mode, since the search is not relative
to any location. So, unset the sidebar selection when we enter
search mode.
If the search entry doesn't consume the key event, don't
change to search mode. Otherwise, we interfere e.g. with
Ctrl and Shift keys for selection.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743660
The last round of filechooser redesign work had left
search somewhat dysfunctional. This commit fixes things
up enough that search is once again a working feature
of the file chooser.
There are some cases where we can end up showing the path
bar without ever setting a file on it. One example is:
1) Open file chooser
2) Hit ~
3) Hit Ctrl-L
While this is a bit of a workaround, at least it makes sure
that we never end up with an empty space where the path bar
is supposed to be.
Implement Federico's suggestion:
In single-selection mode, just use the selected row,
In multi-selection mode, use the cursor row as long as it is
in the selection.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154709
In select-folder mode, we are putting the directory name into the
entry ourselves. Then the entry appends a /. If we react to this
'spontaneous' change of the entry by clearing the list selection,
this will in turn make us clear the entry. We don't want that.
