As of now, the only way to add an app icon to a folder is
by dragging it to the folder icon itself. Even though we
allow opening the folder popup when hovering the icon,
dropping an app icon there wouldn't work.
Make the folder view add the app icon to it's GSettings
key (which will trigger _redisplay() and will show the
new icon) when dropping to a specific position.

Create a new folder when dropping an icon over another
icon. Try and find a good folder name by looking into
the categories of the applications.
Delete the folder when removing the last icon.

Right now, only AppIcon supports being dragged. In the future,
however, both app and folder icons will be reorderable, and to
avoid copying the same code between FolderIcon and AppIcon,
add a new base class BaseViewIcon that contains the shared code
between them.
Adding this new base class also has the side effect that it
already allows for folder icons to be dragged, although full
support for that will come in next commits.
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/603
Moving an app icon to other positions is semantically different
to dragging an actor to the dash; the act of moving should itself
be semantic, in that we should feel like we are moving the actual
icon.
Currently, AppIcon gives the DnD code a simplified version of itself,
with just its icon, instead of a complete copy with the label.
Make AppIcon create a new IconGrid.BaseIcon and use it as the drag
actor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/603
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/603
Use the new 'icon-grid-layout' key to sort the applications and folders
as it is saved. Applications that are not in the key are appended, and
when compared to each other, fallback to alphabetical order.
Because the 'icon-grid-layout' key is, by default, empty, this means that
all icons and folders are sorted alphabetically the first time they are
displayed, preserving the current behavior.
This commit does not add any way to change the order without modifying
the GSettings key directly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/603
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.
WIP: tentatively using the Tweener parameters from Endless OS.

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
when dragging. Only handle it when dragging from AllView.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/603
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/603
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/603
Now that redisplaying is a lightweight operation that only
adds and removes what changed, we don't need to just refilter
the app icons in AllView when a folder changes.
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._loadGrid() 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 _loadGrid() 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
In the close future, BaseAppView will only add new icons (compared
to the remove all + readd all approach that is now). With that, the
items in the this._allItems array will be iterated multiple times,
but items can only be added once, and in the order they're in the
array.
Add the items in the this._allItems array passing the index they
should be added, and don't add icons with a parent already set.
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
Whenever an app is installed, the usual routine is
to run 'gtk-update-icon-cache' after installing all
of the app's files.
The side effect of that is that the .desktop file of
the application is installed before the icon theme
is updated. By the time GAppInfoMonitor emits the
'changed' signal, the icon theme is not yet updated,
leading to StIcon use the fallback icon.
Under some circumstances (e.g. on very slow spinning
disks) the app icon is never actually loaded, and we
see the fallback icon forever.
Monitor the icon theme for changes when an app is
installed. Try as many as 6 times before giving up
on detecting an icon theme update.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/661
The texture cache, right now, only monitors for
complete theme changes. If the contents of the
icon theme change, however, the texture cache
isn't properly invalidated.
This manifests itself as a randomly reproducible
bug when installing an app; the app icon may be
the fallback forever, or as long as something else
updates the icon theme.
Watch for the GtkIconTheme:changed signal, and
evict the texture cache when the theme changes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/661
The eslint wrapper script is useful for development as well, but it currently
fails on systems where bash is not installed in /usr/bin.
Make it useful there as well by changing the shebang to use /usr/bin/env
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/655
Our current Weather integration depends on poking around the app's
settings, which we cannot do when the app is sandboxed (as its
filesystem is "hidden away" in a container in that case).
So instead, use our own GSettings schema for the settings, and sync
it with GNOME Weather via a custom D-Bus interface.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1158
`g_object_notify()` actually takes a global lock to look up the property
by its name, which means there is a performance hit (albeit tiny) every
time this function is called. For this reason, always try to use
`g_object_notify_by_pspec()` instead.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/652
Since commit 007d30573 we use an actor effect to apply the radial effect and
we pass the effect to the tweener in order to animate it.
However, we always still remove the previously added tween from the actor,
instead that from the actual target.
So, depending the radial effect state, remove the tweens from the proper target
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/653
In `st`, we can do this by using `ST_PARAM_*`. In the other code files,
just use `G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS` directly.
This is just a minor convenience to prevent a few unnecessary string
copies.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/646
We currently assume that user icons are square, which is the case when
set by the users settings panel, but not enforced by AccountsService.
Handle that case by moving the pixel size back to the actor and using
an appropriate background-size style property of 'cover' (which means
the smallest dimension of the image is scaled to fit the desired size).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1144
A generic, introspectable Shader effect is not only more flexible
than a shader actor, it will also make it much easier to turn
Lightbox into an actor subclass and replace Tweener with Clutter's
own animation support.
