The built-in calendar isn't meant to replace a full-fledged calendar
app, which is why clearing event messages only hides the event in
gnome-shell rather than deleting the actual event. This has turned out
to not be overly useful and often confusing - it creates a discrepancy
with visible events in apps, isn't revertible in a non-obscure fashion
and non-obviously limited to the current date.
As we are considering moving events out of the message list and back to
the calendar, it looks like a good time to remove that ability and keep
notifications as the only removable messages.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/262
Since commit 5fb8d4f730, a NotificationMessage's notification property
is reset to null when the notification is destroyed. However at that
point we still have connected signal handlers around that we'll try
to disconnect later.
Avoid the warnings by disconnecting and resetting the handler IDs at
the same time as the notification.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/308
We have a callback that will call close() when the notification is
destroyed, and a callback that will call destroy() on the notification
when the message is closed.
Currently, if the notification is destroyed we'll execute our callback
that will call again destroy() on the notification. That's bad
practice in general, and it also has the side effect of resetting the
destroy reason.
This commit avoids re-destroying the notification by dropping the
notification reference on destroy.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/258
Destroying and recreating the entire events list on every change is not only
wasteful, it also breaks the clear functionality as messages scheduled for
removal are replaced with "new" messages after the first message has been
removed.
Address both issues by keeping track of all messages and re-use them
whenever possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/325
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
glibc 2.27 introduced new format specifiers for the month names.
It's obligatory to use them in several languages already and it's
encouraged to use them for all languages because it is not destructive
for any language. As more languages are expected to follow this
standard it's better to use the "%OB" format specifier now so it will
start working correctly automatically.
See also: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10871
This standard has been also working in BSD and OS X since 1990s,
if anyone tries to use gnome-shell in these systems.
Note: This will not work correctly with glibc < 2.27, there is no
detection whether the system is old or new.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780957
As notification icons now align with the title, it makes sense for
them to follow the text size in case a text-scaling-factor other
than 1 is applied.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788265
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785084
Commit 39a840e2c3 added an additional parameter to shell_app_launch().
When adjusting callers, the parameter was also added accidentally to
calls of the confusingly similar g_app_info_launch() ...
Remove those to fix some warnings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781471
Without the boxy background, event messages look a bit plain and
unaligned with other messages. Adding an icon addresses this,
however as repeating the same icon over and over again in case of
many events would be rather noisy, only show it for the top event
as in the mockups.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Update the notification style according to the latest mockups:
- make notification icons smaller and prefer symbolic variants
- remove background box when not hovered/focused
- increase spacing between elements
- use normal text sizes
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
For notifications in the message list, it is usually less relevant
when exactly it occurred, but how long ago. So rather than showing
the exact time and expecting the user to figuring out the timespan
themselves, change the format to something human readable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Currently the secondary actor (if set) and the close button are
exclusive, that is the latter replaces the former on hover. As
the swapping feels rather busy and there's no real reason both
cannot be shown at the same time, keep the secondary actor always
visible.
A welcome side effect is that it no longer needs to be placed at
the end, so we can move the notification timestamp right next to
the corresponding title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
The section titles usually don't provide a lot of value - messages
themselves are usually pretty unambiguous about their type, and
having a hidden shortcut to some settings panel or application isn't
essential either - except when showing the selected date when browsing
other days, as it adds context to the listed events. Based on that,
remove the section title as a general MessageListSection feature and
move it into the EventsSection, where we only show it when it is useful.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
We will eventually remove section titles from the message list to
reduce visual noise and give the actual information provided by
the messages more space. So in order to not lose the ability to
mass-dismiss messages, the latest mockups spot a "Clear All" button
at the bottom - implement that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
Since the last notification redesign, we've been showing the time a
notification was received in the calendar drop-down. However as the
time is in fact added by the NotificationSection, it is actually the
time a notification was added to the list. Usually that difference is
not significant, except when previously received notifications are
restored on startup.
In order to be able to address those cases, we need a time that is
associated with the notification itself, so add a datetime property
that defaults to the current time, but may be set from an optional
parameter as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775799
And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773117
We currently use the :active pseudo class to mark the selected day
in the calendar. Whenever the selected date changes, the class is
added to the corresponding button and removed from all others.
However when the selected date doesn't change (i.e. when clicking
the already selected date), the buttons are not updated and the
use of the :active class conflicts with StButton's builtin handling
of the class - the class is removed on the button up event and the
button is deselected.
Fix this by simply using a different pseudo class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746867
The last patch fixed marking days in the calendar where all
events are ignored, but it doesn't pick up the change when
an event is hidden. Emit an appropriate change notification
to fix this issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768538
Ignoring events is currently implemented in the message list's
event section, which means that the calendar does not consider
ignored events when marking days with events. In order to fix
this, move the handling of ignored events to the event source,
which is shared between both components.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768538
We lost media controls outside of notification banners when
implementing the new notification designs. Reimplement this
functionality as a dedicated "Media" section in the message
list based on MPRIS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756491
Currently both the base classes for messages/sections and the message
list itself that instantiates the available sections are located in
the same module. As a result, it isn't possible to define sections
in a different module without introducing circular dependencies. The
Calendar module is already unwieldily large, so split it up a bit to
avoid it growing even bigger in the future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756491
The destroy signal handler is kept connected despite the NotificationMessage
being destroyed, which leaves dangling NotificationMessage objects that will
be mass destroyed when the Notification object these depend upon is finally
destroyed.
Depending on the amount of accumulated NotificationMessages, this may lead
to temporary freezes or other more funky issues when recursion limits are
hit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755425
Resident notifications are not really a thing anymore with the new
design, so all the user sees are some notifications that mysteriously
cannot be closed. That's utterly confusing, stop doing that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746860
Since commit 75745fc23f, the bodyStack itself is no longer start-aligned
to not break custom body actors like chat notifications. However we still
want "normal" body actors start-aligned to get the correct RTL behavior.
Currently dismissed events will simply reappear when browsing
back and forth between dates, which is clearly broken. Instead,
hide events that have been dismissed permanently. For now, we
simply store a list of ignored IDs ourselves, until we get API
in evolution-data-server to reliably store custom per-event
properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
The design calls for differentiating between dismissable reminders
and permanent events, based on whether the selected date is "today"
or some other day.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
While messages in the EventsSection are currently simple enough to
use the generic Message baseclass, the design calls for events to
only be dismissable on the current day. We will need a subclass to
implement this behavior cleanly, so add one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
As the design calls for slightly different behavior for the current
day, move the _isToday() function out of MessageListSection to have
it available elsewhere as well ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744927
Currently the clear action in the section header simply removes all
messages from the section. While the result looks exactly as if the
close button of each individual message had been clicked, the messages
are not actually closed - after a restart (or some other condition that
triggers a reload), the messages simply reappear, which is confusing.
Do the expected thing instead, and make clear close all messages in the
section.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746027
Currently a message can only be closed by its close button. However
as we want to make a section's clear action synonymous with clicking
the close button of each individual message in the list, we will need
to expose the close action, so add a corresponding method.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746027
Currently closing all messages is subtly different from clearing
a section, which is confusing. Start making the behavior more
predictable by only showing a close button in the message when
the section's clear button would remove it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746027
If a different message ends up underneath the pointer at the end
of the removal animation, it won't receive an enter event until
the pointer is moved, and thus its hover state will not be correct.
Fix it up manually with an explicit pointer sync.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746019
As we use two separate body actors for expanded and unexpanded
notifications, updating only one of them on notification updates
is not enough - if the notification has already been expanded,
we need to update the second label as well.
Enabling line-wrapping of the unexpanded body is not enough to enforce
a single line when the text has embedded newlines, so replace these with
spaces (this is similar to setting ClutterText:single-line-mode, however
that would use a paragraph separator glyph instead).
Currently both the timestamp and the position in the notification list
are static once a notification has been added; however notifications may
be updated later, in which case those properties should be reevaluated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745132
Replace the time formatting in notifications and events with the
new utility method - this makes sure that all times are now following
the clock-format setting and use LC_TIME.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745111
While those elements cannot be activated, they still provide useful
information to screen readers, so include them in the focus chain.
For the same purpose, set a more verbose accessible name, given that
it is not bound by the same space constraints as the visible label.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706903
It doesn't make much sense to show a section if it must remain empty
due to the session mode - there won't be any events if the session
mode disallows events, or notifications if those are disallowed. So
take the session mode into account and update the sections' visibility
accordingly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745494
Messages can be dismissed using a pointer device by clicking the
close button, there's no reason to not make the same action
available via keyboard as well. Delete looks like an obvious
choice ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745279
We reuse the old body text on useMarkup changes and for expanded
labels. However just taking it from the label actor does not work
when markup is used, as once applied it will be stripped from
ClutterText:text.
So to preserve markup, keep our own copy of the original string
around.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744907
Markup in notification titles is not support (and never has been).
Therefore the text is run through g_markup_escape_text(), and as
a result we do have to use markup internally to correctly show
legal-but-escape characters like '&' or '"'.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744894
Notifications in the message list cannot be expanded, however we will
soon use NotificationMessage to re-implement notification banners, where
we still want actions and expanded content.
While this functionality logically belongs to the future banner subclass,
it is cleaner and easier to have the basic support in the base class.
This also leaves the door open for expanded notifications in the summary,
should that become a thing again.
Display notifications that have not been dismissed in the message
list - eventually this will replace the existing message tray summary.
Notification messages show icon, title and one line of the body and
can be clicked to activate the default action. However they cannot be
expanded, so other actions or the full body text are not accessible
in this mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
Turn the existing EventsList into a MessageListSection and add the
message list to the calendar drop-down. The new events list only
displays events for the currently selected day, but in a more
structured and friendlier way than the old one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
The message list is a scrollable list that will hold sections of
different types of time-related messages like notifications,
calendar events or birthday reminders. When no section displays
any content for the selected date, a placeholder is shown instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
We will start using both URLHighlighter and the _fixMarkup() helper
method the same way it's used in MessageTray. Usually we should
make fixMarkup() public and call the existing methods, but we are
planning for them to go away soon, so just keep two copies until
the original one is removed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
In certain cases the timeout for starting the calendar helper can
be reached but the calendar helper still loads fine. If so, just
ignore the timeout and wait until we get a notification from
dbus of the successful start.

Correctly computing the ISO week number is tricky and we already
have code in the platform to do it, so just refer its computation
to GDateTime rather than doing it ourselves.

Leading zeros are common in the 24h format, and indeed used in the
wallclock in the top bar. Convention and consistency within the
same clock format trumps inconsistency between different time formats,
so reverting commit 316f825b2a.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658675
This patch inlines the function _ellipsizeEventTime into its only caller
_addEvent. This also removes the need for the global const
EventEllipses and is thus removed by this commit as well.

With commit dc6a60dde, the calendar displays the ending day and time of
a continuing multi-day event on its ending day. This results in the list
not appearing to be sorted. This patch sorts the list according to the
displayed day/time.
With the two appointments
Thursday 0800-1000 Foo, and Wednesday 0900-Friday 1200 Bar and today
being Monday, the rest of the week list currently displays:
F ...1200 Bar
T 0800 Foo
With this patch, the displaying order is switched because Friday comes
after Thursday.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727302
Currently, multi-day events are shown as individual appointments on each
day. This patch ellipsizes multi-day events to indicate continuation on
the prior or following day (or other time-period.)
The time label spot is now replaced by a box layout that contains the
prefix ellipsis label, the time label and the postfix ellipsis label.
In order to keep the alignment, ellipses are merely invisible (zero
opacity) when hidden.
The ellipses are styled using the events-day-time-ellipses class which,
by default, take the color of the event text.
When RTL is used, the box contents are adjusted accordingly (clutter
does that for us).
An event spanning three days now displays "...All Day..." in the
calendar on the second day.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727302
We commonly mark strftime format strings for translation to account
for date/time representations without an existing strftime shortcut
("Yesterday %H%p"). As those translations are looked up according to
the locale defined by LC_MESSAGES, while the conversion characters
themselves are resolved according to LC_TIME, the result can be
rather odd when mixing locales ("Den 27. January"). The correct
solution would be to install translations for format strings in
the LC_TIME catalogue and look them up with dcgettext(), but we
don't have the infrastructure to do that easily. Work around this
by adding a helper method that looks up a string in LC_MESSAGES
using the locale defined by LC_TIME and use that to translate
format strings, which has the same result.

We don't make use of any functionality StTable provides over

The order in which month and year are displayed is controlled by

When the user changes the active day by mouse click or keyboard focus
plus key press on a day in the grid, always move the keyboard focus to
the newly activated day.
This basically restores functionality that was introduced in commit

cc4659f5c6.

Don't forget to rebuild the calendar when changing the setting
