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.

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
just been created or installed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654086
Before, the text of those buttons were truncated when the text exceeded
the fixed width we had in the CSS.
Now, we give more horizontal space to the control buttons to match
the maximum text length of all buttons.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696307
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694264
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
the sorted actors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
AllView will be updated to allow app folders in addition to app
launchers. Folders will pop up in the existing view, so add an
additional stack widget into the hierarchy which popups will use
as parent.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
We are going to introduce app folders, which will also present an
alphabetical list of applications, but use a different UI. In
preparation for that, split out the item logic into an abstract
base class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
With categories removed, the separation between AllAppDisplay and
ViewByCategories no longer makes sense. Also use this opportunity
to rename the outdated AllAppDisplay to AppDisplay; it will
eventually be used to manage different views.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
AppIcon is just a tiny wrapper around BaseIcon, which does not add
anything over using BaseIcon directly, so merge its code with
AppWellIcon. As the concept of the "app well" has not been used
since well before 3.0, use AppIcon as name for the merged class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694192
This is causing more confusion than anything else these days; the DBus
API is properly documented now and that's what people are expected to
use, the rest are implementation details we're not interested in
exposing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681797
These are for all search results except apps (and Wanda).
We also simplify a bit the packing of search results, which removes some
ugly code in navigateFocus() where we needed to call
st_widget_navigate_focus() twice, since the grid icon was composed by
two nested boxes, both focusable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681797
Display a '+' icon on the provider icon if there are more results that are
hidden. If the provider icon is clicked, ask the provider to launch itself and
perform a search with the current terms.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681797
this._gnomecc is currently unused; we actually need a GAppInfo for this
provider if we want to display an icon next to it (see future commits),
so just turn it into one.
We might move this to an external provider altogether in the future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689735
The only case when we're interested in using those parameters nowadays
is for DnD, which is handled in a separate method already.
Since we're not going to support DnD for non-app search results anyway,
drop the params from all the activateResults() calls; this will be
useful later since we're going to add another parameter to it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689735
Desktop files can specify if the application should only be shown for
specified desktops with OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn directives options.
If a menu category only contained entries for a different desktop, we
were still creating the category.
We now only add a category button if there is at least one application
to be displayed in this category.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687970
We simply hide the label when the popup is opened instead of relying
on the popup state when the hover state change.
To do this we replace the flag isMenuUp by a 'menu-state-changed' signal
on the AppWellIcon. This simplifies the dash label visibility handling
code that need additional changes for the bug.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657315
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
user. We also based our "All" apps view on a flattened list of apps. While
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
the loaded categories.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658176
As shown in the previous commits, synchronous search is easily implemented
by the asynchronous search API. The only reason we still have a
synchronous search API is of historical reasons. Well, we're not a museum,
and git log can keep our fossils safe if need be....

Instead of using an St.Tooltip to show the app's name under the icon,
manually position a new St.Label ourselves. Make sure to keep the label
hidden when right-clicking so it doesn't get in the way of the popup menu.
Only one tooltip/label will be displayed at a time.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
All classes that have at least one other derived class (and thus
benefit from the framework) have been now ported. These includes
NMDevice, SearchProvider, AltTab.SwitcherList, and some other
stuff around.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
The Lang module in gjs has recently gained a small yet powerful
Class framework, that should help improve the readability of code
when using complex inheritance.
This commit starts porting shell code, by rewriting all classes in
popupMenu.js (and all derived classes) to Lang.Class.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664436
js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent

The dash object is currently exposed as a public object.
It's only used outside of the overview for the dash object's
iconSize property though.
This commit makes the dash object private and proxies the dash
iconSize property to the overview.

Since almost all of the callers of shell_app_activate were using the
default workspace (by passing -1), remove that parameter.
Add a new shell_app_activate_full() API which takes a workspace as
well as a timestamp; previously we might have been ignoring event
timestamps from elsewhere.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648149
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648149
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655627
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
