This is the same as calling FileSystemPath(foo).string(). The majority of
clients only care about canonicalizing a path, so let's have an easy way
to express that.
We should work towards a pattern where we take StringView as function
arguments, and store String as member, to push the String construction
to the last possible moment.
fixed it so that directories don't get double-opened (first when they are
opened, and second when the selection changes to match in the file tree view)
Now you can hook activation via GAbstractView::on_activation.
The design still isn't quite right, we should eventually move the selection
away from the model somehow.
Replace the custom DirectoryView widget with a GTableView subclass.
This was pleasantly straightforward and it's so cool seeing the huge
increase in app quality from GTableView. :^)
This patch also adds a Format concept to GraphicsBitmap. For now there are
only two formats: RGB32 and RGBA32. Windows with alpha channel have their
backing stores created in the RGBA32 format.
Use this to make Terminal windows semi-transparent for that comfy rice look.
There is one problem here, in that window compositing overdraw incurs
multiple passes of blending of the same pixels. This leads to a mismatch in
opacity which is obviously not good. I will work on this in a later patch.
The alpha blending is currently straight C++. It should be relatively easy
to optimize this using SSE instructions.
For now I'm just happy with the cute effect. :^)
My needs are really quite simple, so I'm just going to add what I need
as I go along. The first thing I needed was a simple box layout with
widgets being able to say whether they prefer fixed or fill for both
their vertical and horizontal sizes.
I also made a simple GStatusBar so FileManager can show how many bytes
worth of files are in the current directory.
