2005-11-14 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org>
* thunar/thunar-list-model.c: Don't need to remember the "changed" signal handler id per row, as g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched() using G_SIGNAL_MATCH_ID and G_SIGNAL_MATCH_CLOSURE is nearly as fast as g_signal_handler_disconnect(). * thunar/thunar-folder.c(thunar_folder_finalize): Specify both G_SIGNAL_MATCH_ID and G_SIGNAL_MATCH_CLOSURE when disconnecting "destroy" signals from files. * thunar/thunar-preferences.c, thunar/thunar-window.c: Remember the last active view as default for now. * thunar/thunar-create-dialog.c(thunar_create_dialog_text_changed): Use G_IS_DIR_SEPARATOR() rather than hardcoding the slash character. 2005-11-13 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * FAQ, thunar/thunar-icon-view.c: Add initial support for mouse gestures to the icon view component. 2005-11-13 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-window.c, thunar/thunar-preferences.c: Rename "window-location-bar" to "last-location-bar" and "window-side-pane" to "last-side-pane" to make clear that it's the last selected setting. * thunar/thunar-metafile.h: Drop THUNAR_METAFILE_KEY_SHOWHIDDEN. * thunar/Makefile.am, thunar/thunar-gobject-extensions.{c,h}: Add additional GValue transformation functions. * thunar/thunar-preferences.c: Register additional transformation functions provided by the GObject extensions in the class_init() function. Add new preference "default-show-hidden", which tells whether hidden files are shown by default in new windows. * thunar/thunar-view.{c,h}: Add the "show-hidden" property to the ThunarView interface. * thunar/thunar-standard-view-ui.xml, thunar/thunar-standard-view.c: Implement the "show-hidden" property from the ThunarView interface, rather than adding an action to the UI manager. * thunar/thunar-preferences.c: Add "default-show-hidden" property, which tells whether hidden files should be shown in newly opened windows. * thunar/thunar-window-ui.xml, thunar/thunar-window.c: Add the "show-hidden" action here, which starts with the default value queried from the preferences, and uses the new ThunarView API to sync the selected setting. 2005-11-13 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-preferences.c(thunar_preferences_set_property): No need to call g_object_notify() here, as object_set_property() does that implictly once the set_property() call returns. 2005-11-13 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-file.{c,h}, thunar/thunar-metafile.{c,h}: Remove the default value handling from the ThunarMetafile class and leave it up to the caller to specify the default value when fetching/storing metadata. * thunar/thunar-folder.{c,h}, thunar/thunar-standard-view.c: Remove the error parameter from the thunar_folder_get_for_file() method, as this call cannot fail. If a loading error occurs, it will be reported asynchronously by the listdir job. * thunar/thunar-preferences.c(thunar_preferences_set_property): Issue a warning if a required transformation function is not available to the GLib Type System, as this is effectively a bug in our application. 2005-11-12 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-folder.c, thunar/thunar-list-model.c, thunar/thunar-standard-view.c: Forward ThunarVfsListdirJob loading errors to the ThunarStandardView and display an error dialog to the user. * thunar/thunar-preferences.c, FAQ: Use a tdb database to store the preferences, while not saving defaults to the database file. * thunar/thunar-preferences.c: Add initial preferences "window-location-bar" and "window-side-pane". * thunar/thunar-window.c: Always remember the last selected location bar and side pane setting in the preferences. 2005-11-11 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-list-model.c(thunar_list_model_get_statusbar_text): Display symbolic links properly just like the MIME type field in the properties dialog. 2005-11-11 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-standard-view.c(thunar_standard_view_action_duplicate): Use thunar_standard_view_get_selected_paths() instead of thunar_standard_view_get_selected_files(). * po/POTFILES.in: Add new source files. * po/*.po: Merge new strings. * thunar/thunar-dialogs.{c,h}, thunar/Makefile.am: Add new function thunar_dialogs_show_error(), which takes care of displaying an error message dialog to the user. * thunar/thunar-application.c, thunar/thunar-chooser-dialog.c, thunar/thunar-clipboard-manager.c, thunar/thunar-dnd.c, thunar/thunar-favourites-view.c, thunar/thunar-launcher.c, thunar/thunar-properties-dialog.c, thunar/thunar-standard-view.c, thunar/thunar-window.c: Use thunar_dialogs_show_error() whenever possible to reduce code duplication. * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-info.h, docs/reference/thunar-vfs/: Update the Thunar-VFS documentation. 2005-11-10 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-standard-view.c(thunar_standard_view_new_files): Grab focus for the view widget after selecting newly created files. * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-mkdir-job.{c,h}, thunar-vfs/Makefile.am: Import new class ThunarVfsMkdirJob, which is used to asynchronously create a bunch of directories. * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs.{c,h}, thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs.symbols: Add new methods thunar_vfs_make_directory() and thunar_vfs_make_directories() as public interface to the newly imported ThunarVfsMkdirJob. * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-mime-database.c (thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_data_locked), (thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_file): Consider empty files to be text/plain, so users can easily open newly created (empty) files in their favourite text editor. * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-mime-sniffer.{c,h}, thunar-vfs/Makefile.am, thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-mime-database.c, configure.in.in: Add function thunar_vfs_mime_sniffer_looks_like_text(), which performs some smart checks to determine if a given data block looks like plain text. Plain text means either UTF-8 - and thereby also ASCII - or valid multi-byte if the platform supports multi-byte strings. In both cases, even truncated data blocks will be recognized. * thunar/thunar-application.{c,h}: Add thunar_application_mkdir() as frontend to the thunar_vfs_make_directories() function. * thunar/thunar-create-dialog.{c,h}, thunar-vfs/Makefile.am: Add class ThunarCreateDialog, which is used to query the user for the filename that should be used for a new file/folder. * TODO: Add todo item. * thunar/thunar-standard-view-ui.xml, thunar/thunar-standard-view.c, thunar/thunar-window-ui.xml: Add "Create Folder" action, which uses thunar_application_mkdir() to create a new subfolder in the current folder. * thunar/thunar-window.c: Rename thunar_window_action_location() to thunar_window_action_open_location() to get consistent naming. * thunar/thunar-window-ui.xml, thunar/thunar-window.c: Add "Home" action whose primary purpose is to be able to open the home folder using a keyboard shortcut. 2005-11-10 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-monitor.c, thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-thumb.c: Apply patch from Erik Harrison <erikharrison@gmail.com> to fix unused variables when FAM/Gamin and/or GConf aren't available. 2005-11-10 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-standard-view.c(thunar_standard_view_init): Be sure to update the actions whenever the current folder is changed. 2005-11-10 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-window.c(thunar_window_notify_loading): Don't force a round-trip to the Xserver when setting/unsetting the watch cursor.

This will increase the chance that Thunar will be ready for the Xfce 4.4.0 release. * thunar/*.[ch], thunar/Makefile.am: Use ThunarVfsPath instead of ThunarVfsURI. * tests/test-thunar-vfs-path.c, tests/test-thunar-vfs-uri.c, tests/Makefile.am: Replace the ThunarVfsURI test case with a new ThunarVfsPath test case. * tests/test-thunar-vfs-volume-bsd.c: Properly initialize and shutdown the Thunar-VFS library. * po/POTFILES.in: Update the file list. * docs/: Sync the documentation with the changes. * configure.in.in: Don't use -fvisibility=hidden as that causes trouble with inline functions that are also implemented and exported by the library. Instead we explicitly mark internal functions with G_GNUC_INTERNAL. (Old svn revision: 18843)

+3. Where does Thunar store the metadata associated with files?
+==============================================================
+
+ Thunar associates various settings with files/folders, which we call metadata.
+ This metadata for all files is stored in tdb database file, which is called
+ the metafile. The database file is stored in
+
+ $XDG_CACHE_HOME/Thunar/metafile.tdb
+
+ and can be examined using the tdbtool, which is part of the Thunar
+ distribution (located in the tdb/ subdirectory).
+
+
+4. Where does Thunar store its preferences?
+===========================================
+
+ Thunar stores the user configurable preferences in a tdb database file, which
+ is located at
+
+ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Thunar/preferences.tdb
+
+ and can be examined using the tdbtool, which is part of the Thunar
+ distribution (located in the tdb/ subdirectory).

+5. How to use mouse gestures in Thunar?
+=======================================
+
+ Thunar currently features basic support for so called "mouse gestures" in its
+ icon view. You can use these "mouse gestures" by holding down the middle
+ mouse button (usually the mouse wheel) while the mouse pointer is on the
+ background area of the icon view component (any area that is not covered by
+ an icon or a text). Now you can move the cursor into four directions to
+ perform certain actions, which are described below.
+
+ * Left - opens the previous visited folder
+ * Up - opens the parent folder
+ * Right - opens the next visited folder
+ * Down - cancels the gesture action
