the categories of the applications.

Because the Dash icons are not drop targets themselves,
add a tiny DashIcon class, which is an AppDisplay.AppIcon
subclass, and disable all DND drop code from it.

As per design direction, scale and fade the app icon
when starting dragging it, and show it again if the
drop is accepted. Clutter takes care of animating the
rest of icon positions through implicit animations.
Scale and fade the dragged icon while it's being dragged.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/671
Just as we animate the apps launch using the zoom out animation if the
'new-window' action provided by the app is launched, we should also show
this animation if the 'activate-discrete-gpu' action provided by the app
via its AppInfo is launched.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/673
For the "New Window" entry we add to the AppIcons popup menu we should
always animate the app icon if the menu entry is activated as it was
intended by commit 62786c09a8.
For the "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" entry we can also always
show the animation if the entry is activated since the entry should only
be visible if the app is stopped.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/673
We add our own "New Window" menu entry if the app doesn't already
provide a 'new-window' action. For this menu entry, we show the zoom out
animation on the app icon when the user clicks the entry.
To be consistent in case the app already provides its own 'new-window'
action via its AppInfo, also show the zoom out animation when this
action is activated.

App icons inside folders are already animated when the folder is
opened, but moving an app icon from a folder doesn't, making the
transition abrupt.
Fortunately, it's easy to detect icons that were previously hidden
but are not anymore.
Add an animation to these icons when showing.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/664
This is necessary for being able to drag application icons
to folders in different pages.
Add a drag motion handler to AllView and handle overshoots

After dropping an application into the folder icon, the
list of applications is updated but the folder icon itself
is not.
Introduce BaseIcon.update() and call it from FolderIcon
when redisplaying.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/664
The event blocker is an actor that is added in between the
icon grid and the app folder popup in order to guarantee
that clicking outside the app folder will collapse it.
However, the next patch will require allowing dragging events
to be passed to folder icons, and the event blocker gets in
our way here, preventing drag n' drop to work properly.
Add an API to inhibit the event blocker. This API will be
used by the app folders while an item is dragged.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/664
Commit 0f178c3b3d added a shortcirtuit to avoid running
an animation on an invisible actor. However, it introduced
a bug where the current page is not properly updated. That
leads to the wrong set of icons being animated under some
circumstances.
Update the current page even if we bail out early.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/667
We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
Now that redisplaying is a lightweight operation that only
adds and removes what changed, we can not be concerned about
redisplaying on folder changes.
Redisplaying will be necessary when custom order in the app
grid is implemented, in order to update not only which icons
are hidden, but also their position.
Call _redisplay() in AllView when folders change.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/645
FolderView and AllView currently check if the item is
present in the BaseAppView._items map, in order to avoid
adding the same icon multiple times.
Now that BaseAppView._loadApps() has a different role --
it returns a list with all app icons, and BaseAppView
diffs with the current list of app icons -- checking the
BaseAppView._items map is wrong.
Make sure there are no duplicated items in the temporary
array returned by all _loadApps() implementations. Remove
the now unused BaseAppView.hasItem() method.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/645
BaseAppView currently removes all icons, and readds them, every
time the list of app icons needs to be redisplayed. In order to
allow animating app icon positions in the future, however, we
cannot destroy the actors of the app icons.
Previous commits paved the way for us to do differential loading,
i.e. add only the icons that were added, and remove only what was
removed.
Make the BaseAppView effectively implement differential loading.
The BaseAppView.removeAll() method is removed, since we do not
remove all icons anymore. BaseAppView._loadApps() now returns an
array with the new apps, instead of putting them directly at the
BaseAppView lists.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/645
Next commit will introduce differential loading of
app icons, and will reorganize this part of the
codebase.
When doing that, the ideal symmetry of the new code
would be:
* Update BaseAppView._allItems array
* Update BaseAppView._items map
* Update BaseAppView._grid actor
Move the code in _loadGrid() into _redisplay() so that
we can check in-place which new icons need to be added.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/645
Now that the three views follow the exact same loading routine
(remove all + load apps + load grid), we don't need each view
call loadGrid() directly anymore.
This is an important step in order to animate adding and removing
icons, since now we can diff old and new app icons properly.
Move all calls to BaseAppView.loadGrid() to a single one after
BaseAppView._loadApps(). Also add the underscore prefix, since
this is now considered a protected function.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/645
FrequentView is another view that is slightly not unified with how
BaseAppView expects subclasses to load app icons. Instead of using
BaseAppView.addItem() and then calling BaseAppview.loadGrid(), it
adds the app icons directly to the icon grid.
Make FrequentView add icons using BaseAppview.addItem(), and load
the icons using BaseAppView.loadGrid().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/645
Future patches will diff the old and new icons of views, in order to
animate them when necessary (e.g. adding an app icon to a folder, or
from a folder back to the app grid). In order to do that, all views
must be streamlined in how they load app icons.
Currently, FrequentView and AllView are already following the behavior
expected by BaseAppView, but FolderView isn't. Its icons are loaded by
FolderIcon, and FolderView doesn't implement BaseView._loadApps(),
which makes it impossible to diff old and new apps.
Move the app icon loading routine from FolderIcon to FolderView, by
implementing the _loadApps() method.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/645
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/663
AppIcon makes itself draggable, and handles the various DnD
routines such as 'drag-begin' and 'drag-end' by making the
Overview emit the appropriate signals.
However, when destroyed, the AppIcon does not try to finish
any drag operations that started. That causes the event
blocker in AllView not to be updated correctly when dragging
icons to outside folders.
Make AppIcon emit 'item-drag-end' when a drag operation
started and it's destroyed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/643
While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
At the moment the only way to open a folder icon is to click on it;
there's no API to open the icon programmatically.
This commits adds an open method and makes the click handler use
it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/628
When a FolderIcon is opened, it asks the parent view to allocate
space for it, which takes time. Eventually, the space-ready
signal is emitted on the view and the icon can make use of the new
space with its popup. If the icon gets destroyed in the
interim, though, space-ready signal handler still fires.
This commit disconnects the signal handler so it doesn't get called
on a destroyed icon.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/628
It is important that the FolderView of a FolderIcon always
gets destroyed before the AppFolderPopup, since the view
may or may not be in the popup, and the view should
get cleaned up exactly once in either case.
This commit adds a destroy handler on FolderIcon to ensure
things get taken down in the right order, and to make sure
the view isn't leaked if it's not yet part of the popup.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/628
At the moment AppFolderPopup calls popdown on destruction,
which leads to open-state-changed getting emitted after
the actor associated with the popup is destroyed.
This commit handles ungrabbing and closing from an
actor destroy handler to side-step the open-state-changed
signal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/628
If an icon already exists in an app view with the same id, the
duplicate is not added on a call to addItem. Unfortunately,
since it's not added, the icon actor gets orphaned and leaked.
This commit address the problem by introducing a new hasItem
method and disallowing callers to call addItem with a duplicate
in the first place.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/628
meta_later_add() is modelled after g_idle_add() and friends, and
the handler's boolean return value determines whether it should
be scheduled again or removed. There are some places where we omit
the return value, add them (although the implicit return value of
"undefined" already gives us the intended result).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/637
Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent on whether case labels share the same
indentation level as the corresponding switch statement or not. gjs
goes with the default of no additional indentation, so go along with
that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space
after catch clauses. While the predominant style is to omit it,
that's inconsistent with the style we use for any other statement.
There's not really a good reason to stick with it, so switch to
the style gjs/eslint default to.

We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.

AllView's adaptToSize is called as part of viewStack allocation vfunc, and this

In order to cater for emoji panel usage, we want something like PageIndicators

Whenever the AllView needs (re)populating, we used to do one general
g_app_info_get_all() to get all GAppInfo, plus one per app folder in order
to check the ones that fall within that category. This calls results in a
fair amount of I/O blocking the main loop.
In order to ease this, keep the GAppInfo list around in AllView, and make
the AppFolders use it when figuring out the contained apps. Since reloading
the AllView results in AppFolders regenerated from scratch, the app info
list is ensured to be up-to-date for any later change within the AppFolder
(eg. through the GSettings key changing).
As the list was already filtered in the first place, we can also remove
the try{}catch() in AppFolder in order to discard desktop files with
invalid encoding.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can

Back in the day, there was a proposed system of tracking apps in a
specific context.
The inspiration was that you may have used apps in multiple modes:
Firefox may have been used in both "Programmer Reference" and
"Kitten Videos" contexts. Early user response to the feedback wasn't
too positive - context switching is something that humans have trouble
doing implicitly, let alone explicitly. The old codebase still has a
few remnants of this around; let's finally put them to rest.
Note that we still write out a dummy context tag to the XML file - old
versions of the shell will flat out crash if you don't have one of those
in there, so just leave it in for compatibility sake.

App folder popups take a grab when opened, and as we don't pass any
particular pushModal() parameters, all keybindings are blocked. While
this makes sense for most keybindings that would interfere with the

Pretty much like dd4709bb2, BoxPointer's show() and hide()
functions will clash with Clutter.Actor's ones.
In addition to that, on a conceptual level, the current API
is not great, because calling boxPointer.hide() won't result
in boxPointer.actor.visible == false.
For these reasons, rename show() and hide() to open() and
close(). A compatibility layer will be added in a following
commit, warning about the usage of show() and hide().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Removing Shell.GenericContainer from the IconGrid class was
challenging because it needs the "skip paint" API from it.
This API was added, too, as a workaround to the inability
to override vfuncs from GJS.
The overrides are largely copy-pasted and translated versions
of the Shell.GenericContainer code.
The IconGrid:key-focus-in signal was renamed to :child-focused
to avoid clashing with ClutterActor:key-focus-in.
In GridSearchResults, the internal IconGrid had it's y_expand
set to false, so it doesn't push other search elements (the
list results mainly) to the bottom of the screen.
Because skip paint wasn't and still isn't a GObject property,
rename it to _skipPaint to reflect that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
As part of our quest to obsolete Shell.GenericContainer, IconGrid will
become a Clutter.Actor subclass. As the ::key-focus-in signal would
clash with Clutter.Actor::key-focus-in, rename it to ::child-focused.

Pretty much like the previous patches, this extends St.Bin. The
most interesting aspect of this patch is that most of the sizing
routines of the icons is now delegated to the actors and layout
managers, removing quite a bunch of code.
The 'spacing' theme property is now redirected to StBoxLayout's
spacing property. Also adjust the Dash code to stop forcing a
potentially invalid width in the first icon too.

When middle-clicking an app icon on the Dash, it will always try to open
a new window of that app, even if the app doesn't support multiple
windows. Meanwhile, Ctrl+click on an app will only open a new window if
the app allows it.
This change prevents middle-clicks on app icons from opening new windows
for apps without multi-window support.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/316
The app icon's context menu contains a list of open windows,
identified by their title. As we currently don't handle the
case where the app didn't set a title, we end up with empty
menu items which looks clearly broken. Fall back to the app's
name in that case.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/26
When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/23
While the scale factor is taken into account for app icons, we set
an explicit size when combining the into a folder icon - unless we
take the factor into account, the result will be too small on HiDPI
displays.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792259
Otherwise the smaller icons will try to take too much space since the
texture rendering the icons will be scaled up on HiDPI displays according
to the scale factor, which will push the size of the StBin containing the
texture up, causing them to completely fill the folder's total space.
Explicitly setting the size of the StBin container in this case, in a
similar fashion to what we do when creating the empty placeholders (in
case where there are less than 4 apps in a folder), ensures that each
"cell" of the grid-like widget representing the folder does not take
too much space.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786145
The animation needs the icons' final positions, so we currently defer
it to a ::notify::allocation handler; however as starting the animation
during an allocation cycle would trigger a Clutter warning, it is
further deferred to a MetaLater. While this usually works, it is possible
that the allocation is already valid when we connect the signal, in which
case the animation is triggered at a later unexpected time. Switch to
a more robust ::paint handler instead, which also allows us to get rid
of the double-delay.

While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit

even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that
produce the correct result with 'undefined'.

If an onComplete handler is passed to animate(), it is set to run at
the end of the animation via the icon grid's ::animation-done signal.

the result that the handler doesn't run when the animation completes
immediately (because there are no icons to animate). Fix this by only
starting the animation after connecting the signal.

We currently assume that the current view matches the 'app-picker-view'
setting. While that is usually the case, there is one notable exception:

animate the actually visible icons in that case, not the (non-existent)

Currently scroll events during the swarm animation will make the
grid appear immediately in addition to the animating clones, and
there'll be a mismatch with the icon at the target position. This

before they form a paginated grid doesn't make much sense anyway,
fix this issue by ignoring scroll events for the duration of the

There is currently no simple way to inject into AppIcon's state change,
so an extension that wants to do this has to destroy/remove/update all
icons in the Shell (i.e. in the Dash, AllView, FrequentView) on enable()
and disable() after updating AppIcon.prototype._onStateChange, or the
extension must require a restart of the Shell.
To solve this issue, we rename _onStateChanged to _updateRunningStyle,
and connect the notify::state signal with an anonymous function that
calls _updateRunningStyle.
This extra function call should allow extensions to just extend the
updateRunningStyle function in the prototype.

transition. However now we want to let appDisplay and iconGrid apply its
own animation.
For that we special case the change to and from apps page on
viewSelector to let appDisplay to animate its own items, using and API
on appDisplay which at the same time uses an API on iconGrid.
Thanks Florian Müllner for the debugging work

Add a new animation to folder view based on designers mockups that

We were setting the value of adjustment on size changes, but we weren't
changing the page value, so adjustment and page value was not in sync.
To fix it, make sure adjustment of the view is in sync with the page
value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734680
Currently the indicators are a BoxLayout inside a BinLayout in AllView.
BinLayout doesn't have any size constraint, so if the indicators request
a bigger size than AllView the entire overview is grown, causing the
overview to go crazy.
To avoid that, create an actor for the page indicators that request as
minimum size 0, and as a natural size, the sum of all indicators natural
sizes. Then we clip_to_allocation, so it doesn't grow more than the
parent.

If the application reports itself as single window (through

Unlike for the main app view, where we only move the key focus once the
users starts navigating, the key focus is moved immediately when opening
a folder popup. This is unexpected, so make app folders consistent with
the main view.
As arrow keys will not work while the container itself has key focus, we
handle those explicitly by translating them to TAB_FORWARD and
TAB_BACKWARD respectively.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731477
Commit 5d00c1a5ee moved app folder popups to GrabHelper - for some
reason, the line that ensures the current behavior of only considering
events inside the app picker to dismiss popups got lost ...
As clicks outside the app picker should still be handled normally
while clicks inside should dismiss the popup, we cannot make full
use of GrabHelper. However using it at least for focus handling
fixes some minor details we are getting wrong, for instance not
restoring the previous focus after dismissing a folder popup.
Currently, our logic for page panning isn't great. If the user starts a
pan upwards and hesitates over a new page, we'll go to the *next* page
on release, since the difference is greater, but the velocity wound down
to 0.
Instead of trying to treat it like page down or scrolls, simply do the
math to find the page where the user scrolled to.
This is unfortunately broken for fast swipes, since the user doesn't get
far enough into the new page to make a difference. I'm getting the
impression we'll need a gesture recognizer for this, though, however
crude. Simple hacks I tried, like a velocity multiplier, didn't work
properly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729064
We often call goToPage like:
this.goToPage(this._currentPage - 1);
(or + 1). During panning, these are based on the velocity values
of the gesture action. If we're already on the first or last page
and the panning ends, it's possible to get goToPage that's either
-1 or greater than the last page.
During normal usage, this isn't a problem, since the Y values will
be correct, always. But when panning, the Y values stick to the
finger, and thus if we return early, we won't snap to the exact page,
making it seem like things get "stuck".
Fix this the simple way by clamping to the correctly-ranged values
of pageNumber
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729064
Folders use a 2x2 grid of the first 4 app icons as icon - if a folder
contains less apps, we currently skip the corresponding grid positions.
As a result, the overall size request may be smaller than the one for
other icons, making the folder icon look out of place.
Fix this by always using a full grid as folder icon, using dummy actors
as necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726322
With the switch to a table layout in commit f959cafb36, setting
alignments to place the individual icons at the outer edge of the grid

Add more time to the fade in/out animation when switching

The current middle-click action of opening a new window on a new
workspace is a bit peculiar; it is also not overly hard to achieve
the same result by moving a new window to the desired workspace or
selecting a workspace before opening a new window. Just opening
a new window is also a more common action, so having a shortcut
available that doesn't require a modifier is a good idea as well;
change the middle-click behavior accordingly.

Having terminal launchers behave differently than any other launchers
is non-obvious and confusing. Remove the special-casing to restore

If the user mostly uses the All Apps view and uses it as his default view,
we shouldn't reload frequent data after a timeout. Simply do it when the
view is mapped.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723179
get_categories() returns an unparsed string, not a list of categories.
We need to parse the list by splitting on ';' to deterine whether the
actual 'TerminalEmulator' category is in the list, rather than something
like 'X-GNOME-TerminalEmulator'. It's an edge case, but I need to split
the list properly for the new folders, so I might as well fix this.

Using the new list_actions() API in Gio, add entries for static

Rather than GMenu / app-folder-categories. This removes our last use of
gnome-menus in the stock gnome-shell, which is exciting, but also means

Instead of having _compareItems, _getItemId, etc. on the view to
pull out info about items, use the AppIcon / FolderIcon items we

'.name' property to sort by.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722117
One of the most frequent complaints about our launching behaviour is
how we handle terminals. Among all MDI applications, the terminal is
the one that is most likely to have lots of semi-independent windows
opened at the same time, and spawning new windows is much more common.
More so, if it does not support tabs.
Therefore, we special case terminal launchers to always create a new
window. It is an application that most non-technical users will not
use, so chances of them being confused by any special behaviour is
expected to be low.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695010
Filtering out "non-interesting" windows beforehand as we currently do
means that we may get properties that should be based on all windows,

We want to move away from gnome-menus eventually, so the simple

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698486
Long ago, the search system worked in a synchronous manner: providers
were given a query, and results were collected in a single array of
[provider, results] pairs, and then the search display was updated
from that.
We introduced an asynchronous search system when we wanted to potentially
add a Zeitgeist search provider to the Shell in 3.2. For a while, search
providers were either async or sync, which worked by storing a dummy array
in the results, and adding a method for search providers to add results
later.
Later, we removed the search system entirely and ported the remaining
search providers to simply use the API to modify the empty array, but the
remains of the synchronous search system with its silly array still
lingered.
Finally, it's time to modernize. Promises^WCallbacks are the future.
Port the one remaining in-shell search engine (app search) to the new
callback based system, and simplify the remote search system in the
process.
When we create a result actor, cache it, so it can be used for
subsearches of the same initial. For now, to keep memory usage
and the stage graph relatively clean, don't persist the actors
across searches, but maybe we should do this in the future.
This also means that we don't query getResultMetas for items
that we've seen in the same initial search.

The application picker will always open with the view that was last
selected during the session, but the selection is reset on each
restart. This results in some annoyance for users that use the
ALL view exclusively, as they have to toggle views once each
session - the same would apply to exclusive FREQUENT view users
were the defaults to be changed, so the best solution is to simply
make the selected view persistent by storing it in GSettings.

Allow the prefix 'special:' applied to result IDs to mark results

Previously the animation was not entirely according to the mockup.
Now we are closer to the mockup.
The padding for the indicators are decremented, since we need that
to make the animation not too quick. As a drawback, maybe visually
is not as good as before, or the area to click dots is too much little.
Just make that change for now and test it widely, and we can change
that after.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707565
The original position was calculated with the stage and the
transformed position of the indicator when mapped. The values
were wrong on some situations, so lets calculate the position
based on the dots width.

We need to adjust the offset of close buttons, in case the box
pointer has the arrow at the top. To do so, extend close buttons
to hook into a boxpointer (since that's the common use for them)
and automatically adjust their position.

For extremely silly reasons with how the class framework works, the wrapper
method requires "this" to be bound in order for it to work, or else we'll
emit errors in strict mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707892
Just as we do in AllView, we set the offset of FolderViews' fade
effect so that no icon is faded when a full page is visible.
This works fine in AllView, however in the FolderView case where
the popup's offsets eat away from the available fade height, the
effect ends up being barely noticeable at all.
While it is not ideal to apply the fade to the edge of a "full page",
it looks less ugly than the current state, so pick the lesser evil ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707662
Since now if you focus the indicators, you can't scroll and
change pages in the app picker. That was reported as odd from
some users/developers.
So allow to scroll when the focus is in the indicators.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707609
ClutterActor::scroll-event has a boolean return value to indicate
whether the event has been handled, or event emission should continue.
Now that we are using an StScrollView, we depend on this to avoid
propagating the event to the view's own handler.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707409
It doesn't make sense to show the indicators in that case, so
don't show them. This has been the design in the first place,
but the code that did that was lost at some point during review ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707363
The frequent view is not useful when it doesn't contain any applications
yet. While the previously added label makes this state appear less like
an error (OMG, my apps are gone!), it doesn't address the issue of
usefulness - default to the more helpful All view in this case.

Similar to adapting the spacing dynamically to the available
space we already do, scale down icon sizes if the grid is too
small to fit the requested minimum number of rows/columns.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
IconGrid has never really been a general purpose container, but has
always been used in conjunction with BaseIcon. IconGrid will soon
gain the ability to adjust the item size dynamically to adapt to the
available space, which will require that we can make some more
assumptions about the items added to the grid (namely: we need
access to BaseIcon's setIconSize() method).
So change addItem() to take an object instead, which should have
an actor and a (BaseIcon) icon property.
Based on a patch by Carlos Soriano.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
The popup of the FolderView is now contained inside
the parent view, solving the overflow of apps with a ScrollView.
Also, solved a lot of bugs in popup/FolderView calculation
of position and size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
Add a property to also add the calculated spacing
around the grid.
This will allow FolderView to be aligned with the
main grid without cutting off any of the surrounding
boxPointer decorations or the close button
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
When we adapt the grid to different display sizes,
we don't want the number of displayed items to get
too small. In the future we will scale down icons to
make sure that the grid fits add least minRows
x minColumns items, but for now we only take the
properties into account when calculating the dynamic spacing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
Organize applications in AllView by pages using the new PaginatedIconGrid
added previously. Pagination is generally a better pattern for collections
than scrolling, as it better suits spacial memory.
Hook into AppDisplay's allocation function to communicate the available
size to the different views before child allocations - this is only
required by the paginated view (as pages must be computed before
calling get_preferred_height/get_preferred_width), but doing it for
all views will guarantee that their dynamic spacing calculation is
based on the same values.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
This method, which accepts a .desktop filename, is used to highlight
a specific application in the overview, for example because it has

Before, the text of those buttons were truncated when the text exceeded
the fixed width we had in the CSS.

pushResults, and the original async search API, were originally intended
so search results that weren't immediate could be added as they come in.
Since then, we've decided that the design of search results is that they
should finish at once with all results. Thus, the code was modified so
that pushResults always overwrote the current result set. As such, it makes
sense to rename the method so that the name matches the behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693836
As the close button of folder popups overlaps at the top, it ends
up being cut off if the folder is located at the very top of the
view. Fix this glitch by taking the button's overlap into account
in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
We already take care of growing the view if open folders overlap
at the bottom, however folder popups may still end up being cut
off when opening above the source icon - if the popup is high enough,
its y coordinate will be negative and therefore outside the parent's
allocation. To fix, we can either make sure that folders pop up below
their source icon in that case, or adjust the parent grid's position
as necessary while a folder is open. This implements the latter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
If the view doesn't fill the available space, content should still
start at the top rather than the center - not least the positioning
code for folder popups assumes that, so set the appropriate expand
flags.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
Currently we stop monitoring application usage when disabling the
'enable-app-monitoring' setting, but we still expose previously
gathered data in the app picker's frequent view. This is not what
users should expect, so hide the view in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699714
When opening an application folder, it should take key focus to
allow for keynav; also, Escape closing both folder and app picker
is unexpected, it should only close the popup.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695314
Filter out all applications which have the NoDisplay, Hidden or
Not/OnlyShowIn bits, as those are not meant to be launched directly.
This also allows the user to filter apps from the frequent view
using alacarte.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696949
ClutterBinLayout uses the maximum width/height of all children in
size requests and positions children according to the expand/align
properties. This means that the vertical position of folder popups
is not considered in size requests, so if the main view is smaller
than a folder popup's height and offset, the popup will be truncated
and/or mispositioned. Fix those cases by using a custom LayoutManager
that behaves like ClutterFixedLayout for height requests and like
ClutterBinLayout otherwise.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694371
If the AllView is scrolled, the vertical scrollbar will take away
some horizontal space on one side, resulting in the content ending
up slightly off-center.
Account for this by using overlay-scrollbars instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694261
The frequent view should not be scrolled, but to work around the
icon grid overflowing, we used a (non-scrolling) scroll view anyway.
Now that IconGrid:fillParent allows us to avoid overflow, we can
remove this hack.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694256
PopupMenuManager eats the next release event, which would otherwise close
the menu, so we need to tell dnd that we're handling it, and no drag should
be started, so it can ungrab the pointer and restore state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694276
The arrow origin must be in the coordinate space of the box pointer,
but it cannot be calculated when the box pointer is shown, because it's
not allocated yet, so pass the source to the boxpointer and adjust
the arrow at the next paint.

According to the design mockups, the app picker should follow the
recent view pattern as used by applications, where the user is first
offered a subset of applications he/she is likely to start, and only
then allow switching to the full set of installed applications.
So implement the ability to manage several views in AppDisplay and add
FrequentView as additional view, which uses the existing ShellAppUsage
to display a list of frequently used applications.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
While a group is open, we want to block events on items underneath,
but still allow interaction with components outside the app display
as well as scrolling of the view as a whole.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
App folders are intended for grouping some applications, not to
assign a category to every single application, so we will only
create folders for a selected subset of the existing categories.
Software/Alacarte will eventually allow to create/modify those
folders, so store the setting in GSettings so that it can be
shared with those applications.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
At the moment when loading the applications, each app is inserted
at its correct (alphabetical) position. Avoid this overhead by
loading all apps first, then sort them once and fill the grid with

AllView will be updated to allow app folders in addition to app
launchers. Folders will pop up in the existing view, so add an

We are going to introduce app folders, which will also present an

AppIcon is just a tiny wrapper around BaseIcon, which does not add

These are for all search results except apps (and Wanda).

The only case when we're interested in using those parameters nowadays
is for DnD, which is handled in a separate method already.

Desktop files can specify if the application should only be shown for

We simply hide the label when the popup is opened instead of relying

code that need additional changes for the bug.

We explicitly include NoDisplay applications in the ShellAppSystem because
we want app tracking for them, but we explicitly filter NoDisplay applications
out when showing them to the user because we don't want to show them to the

we did check for NoDisplay on the app item itself, we didn't check against
its parents. Refactor the app display view to not use a separate flat list
of applications, but instead a concatenation of all the applications in all

This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section
on every category switch; it's all cached.
NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from
commit 7813c5b93f. It's fast enough
here without that.

The specs call for a 2 pixel gap between the panel and its menus,
though we need to specify this as 4 pixels, since it's relative to the
bottom of the icon/title, not the bottom of the panel (up until now,
the point of the menu arrow was actually overlapping the menu's
highlight underline).
Also, move the gap specification into the CSS, since it makes more
sense there.

Theme authors now have the power (and responsibility) of creating fade
effects with the new CSS length property '-st-fade-offset'. A value of
0 disables the effect.
This new CSS approach replaces the current programmatic toggle of
the 'vfade' property. A new CSS style class name 'vfade' is used as
a replacement for the old property.

A "cosmetic" code arrangement I requested in code review resulted
in one too few items being removed from the queue for each incremental
chunk of icons added. Fix.

ViewByCategories._removeAll clears the sections, but the filter passed
to view still expects them to exists. Therefore, refresh the view
after the section has been rebuilt and the All filter reapplied.

While we have menu for an app icon open, we want to show the prelight
for the item instead of removing the prelight when the user mouses
away from the item and into the menu, and if there's a tooltip
(like for the dash), we want to show the tooltip immediately when
the menu is popped up.

When right-clicking on an AppWellIcon, the icon will become focused,
which (presumably via style-changed) invalidates its current
allocation, causing "icon.y" to return 0 until it has been
reallocated, messing up our idea of where in the AppDisplay the icon
is. Work around this by calling get_allocation_box() instead.
