This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.
To simplify maintenance, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.
Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.
Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we ever come across it.

Since the FolderViews are not connected to the "installed-changed"
signal, we need to reload their apps by calling _redisplay() when an app
is removed or installed. We can't connect to "installed-changed" inside
FolderView because we need to ensure _redisplay() of the FolderView is
called before AppView tries to access the apps of the folder inside
_refilterApps(). So reload the FolderViews inside AllViews _redisplay()
implementation to ensure everything is up to date before accessing the
apps of the folder.
Since the "apps-changed" signal of FolderIcon now indirectly triggers a
_redisplay() of the FolderViews, the 'changed' handler of FolderView is
now redundant and can be removed. Because of this, we also need to move
the emission of the "apps-changed" signal to the start of the signal
handler to make sure the view is updated before we try to access items
of the view.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1901https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/1011
We should disconnect the folders "changed" signal from the folder in
case the FolderView or FolderIcon is destroyed. While at it, also remove
the unused this._spaceReadySignalId of FolderIcon.

The _redisplay() function is usally used for subclasses of BaseAppView
which want to implement their own _redisplay() function, having that
function name in two classes which have nothing to do with BaseAppView
can be quite confusing. Make those names less confusing and call the
functions _sync() and _rebuildMenu() instead.

The viewBox has a border applied, so when we call adaptToSize using only
the content box of the container, the width of the border is not removed
from the content box and the grid will be allocated less space than what
we told it before using adaptToSize.
Fix that by adjusting the content box for the size of the viewBox, too.
This makes sure the correct amount of columns can be shown inside a
folder, since right now we only show 3 colums even though 4 would fit.

Now that the bind constraint changes the preferred size of
the actor, a major flaw in the AppDisplay code was exposed:
the folder dialog depends on the preferred size of a parent,
and the parent depends on the preferred size of the folder
dialog.
While we know this is not actually true, we shouldn't rely
on broken behavior to achieve this result. What's interesting
is that the bind constraint used by the folder dialog is a
relic of the development phase; we now control the position
and size of the dialog with a combination of CSS, and alignment.
Remove the unnecessary bind constraint.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

So as to guarantee the unmapped state sticks and doesn't get toggled
back to mapped before we return.
Being in a mapped state when `FolderIcon.vfunc_unmap()` returned was
causing an assertion failure in `clutter_actor_set_mapped` and crashed
the shell.

This functionality always suffered from discoveribility
problems, and now that the folder dialog can rename the
app folders, there's just no reason to keep it.
Remove the rename popup.

Now that the folder dialog handles the adaptToSize workaround,
there is no need to propagate the call throughout the class
hierarchy.
Remove the propagating calls to adaptToSize, and all the satellite
code.

Now the the folder popup behaves like a dialog, it must be
above the app grid, and not be affected by the scroll view
translation.
Add the folder popup to the AllView itself, instead of the
internal Shell.Stack that is inside the scroll view.

Make the AppFolderPopup behave much more like a dialog than a
popup itself. To do that, remove the BoxPointer and replace it
by a StBoxLayout. The dialog is is also bind-constrained to the
view selector.

Replace existing panning and touchpad scrolling by SwipeTracker.
Since SwipeTracker only references one actor, redirect scroll events

Since both the `_items` object and the `_allItems` array include the
same items, the difference between those variables seems unclear. The
real difference between them (except the different data type) is that
`_allItems` is ordered in the same order as the visible grid, so rename
`_allItems` to `_orderedItems` which makes that more obvious.

The icon grid currently sorts icons by their names. When creating new
folders, the folder may end up being in a different page, and that's
confusing since we don't actually move to where the new folder is.
Move the icon grid to the newly created folder.

Currently when dragging an icon to the space above or below the appGrid
to switch pages, we do so very quickly without checking when the last
page-switch happened. This makes it hard to move icons to pages which
are not the first or the last one, since the other pages are skipped
very quickly.
To fix this, add a timeout of 1 second that blocks switching pages after
a page-switch using drag overshoot occured.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1693
We currently always switch app pages when a dragged app icon
moves outside the grid boundaries, regardless of any previous
page switches. This makes it too easy to switch multiple pages
accidentally, so add a small threshold that the icon has to
move back towards the grid before allowing another page switch.

There's no need for a `inhibitEventBlocker` interface. Since we connect
to "open-state-changed" of our folders in the AllView anyway, we can
just make the event blocker visible while a folder is opened, and hide
the event blocker during DnD.
This allows keeping the eventBlocker reactive at all times and fixes an
issue where DnD to create a new folder is impossible if no folders are
present because the eventBlocker would not get inhibited.

Remove setCurrentPage() function, introduce setCurrentPosition() instead,
which allows to have fractional positions.
Make inactive dots smaller, filled and partially transparent, as opposed to
larger and fully opaque active dot. Make dots smaller overall, remove
borders. Interpolate each dot between active and inactive state based on
scroll position.
Make it impossible to "uncheck" the active dot.
Thanks Florian Müllner for parts of the code.

It may happen that the app icon is destroyed with a drag
monitor still around, in which case, a load of warnings
will be shown.
Make sure to remove any pending drag monitor on destroy.

When removing the last icon of a folder, FolderView first removes
the folder from org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder-children, then
proceeds to reset all its keys, which removes the relocatable schema.
That order of operations turns out to be problematic. Removing the
folder from 'folder-children' destroys the folder icon, which in turn
destroys the folder view, which throws a load of warnings in the
journal.
Fix that by removing the folder after resetting the schema keys. In
fact, what we're doing here is not using 'this' anymore.

The variable that holds the list of application icons is
called 'newApps', but that technically was never true,
since we only create new app icons when necessary.
Rename it to 'appIcons'.

The views (AllView and FrequentView) build a list of all applications
they contain. BaseView then diffs between what's currently added, and
what needs to be added, and removed.
This approach has a problem though: creating an AppIcon or a FolderIcon
connects to various signals, and we confuse the garbage collector.
When building the list of applications, instead of always creating new
icons, try to use already existing icons first.

The FolderView class is responsible for creating the 4-item
grid of the folder icon, with the preview of the first four
apps inside the folder.
However, with the deprecation of StAlign as child properties,
the folder icon stopped being horizontally centralized.
Center the folder icon horizontally again.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.

ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.
