before bringing up the first instance of Fluxbox we prepare the directory
and the files it needs. if the config version of exiting files is lower
than what we expect, we upgrade the config files. after that we bring
up Fluxbox.
the old way was problematic because setupConfigFiles() calls
'fluxbox-update_configs' which does its job in the background while
fluxbox continues to boot. 'fluxbox-update_configs' sends a USR2 signal
to the booting fluxbox (it might even be finished, no one knows) which
triggers 'load_rc()' which triggered 'setupConfigFiles()' again which
might trigger 'fluxbox-update_configs' again (on my machine
'fluxbox-update_configs' was called 3 times and left a pretty crippled
'keys' file when it was done).
bootstrapping before bringing up fluxbox resolves the issue. as a bonus:
no need to send USR2 to fluxbox to reload the config file because fluxbox
has not even tried to read it yet.
to quote from 'man putenv':
The string pointed to by string becomes part of the environment,
so altering the string changes the environment.
so, using putenv like
{
std::string foo("FOO=bar");
putenv(foo.c_str());
}
is wrong and leads to a potentially corrupted environment. valgrind
complaint correctly.
FbTk::App seems to be the appropriate place to hold '::seten()'
because it alters the environment of the application.
## FbTk/ImageControl.hh:
* moved 'getSqrt()' over to TextureRender.cc because it is used only there
* removed unused members m_root_window
* use std::vector<> for colors and for the gradient buffers.
## FbTk/ImageControl.cc:
* fixed memory leak in '~ImageControl', 'pixels' where not deleted[]
at all. switched to std::vector, non-issue anymore.
* moved identical code into functions 'allocateUnallocatedColors', 'initColortables'
## FbTk/TextureRenderer:
* removed 'from', 'to', 'interlaced' from class, only used in
'renderGradient()' and are actually part of the given
texture.
* removed 'xtable', 'ytable' from class, only used in
'renderGradient()'
* removed 'colors' from the class, is part of 'control'
* moved render actions (invert, bevel1, bevel2, *gradient), they need more
love but for now this is sufficient
a lot of the parsing-related and menu-building stuff is just plain
stupid boiler plate code. putting the data into a const array
separates the boiler plate data from the actual code.
* ClientPattern.cc: make compiler happy (complaints about XPROP not handled in switch)
* FbTk/FbPixmap.cc FbTk/StringUtil.cc: signed vs unsigned
* FbTk/FbString.cc: missing return
* WinClient.cc: create atoms only once; use helper function
* Window.cc: use a helper function
for each window (windows, menue etc) the initCorners() function of
FbTk/Shape.cc was called (which is ok). On each call the corner pixmaps
(of the Screen the window belongs to) were created and destroyed the
formerly created pixmaps. this is not needed.
the global 's_corners' vector was still used on an application shutdown
(including ctrl-c SIGINT). depending on when 's_corners' was created on
the stack this could lead to an exception ('pure virtual called') while
trying to free the 'FbPixmaps' without having a valid
'FbTk::Application::instance()' left.
our users should migrate seamlessly to our new windows-cycling behaviour
without losing their current way of doing things. so, 'fluxbox-update_configs'
tries its best to add '(workspace=[current])' wherever it looks like a valid
place for it. such changed lines are marked by '!! FBCV13' at the end and can
be easily spotted in case the updater got it wrong.
addtional changes:
* added '-check' to 'fluxbox-update_configs' to check the version number in
'~/.fluxbox/init' vs. the version number of 'fluxbox-update_configs'
* moved the update-code for each version into its own function, easier
housekeeping
commit 882a50fe1d removed the hardcoded limit to
cycle to windows on other workspaces, though it was and IS a good default
behaviour. if users do not want this (they want to cycle to windows on other
workspaces), they should explicitly avoid '(workspace=[current])' in their
keysfile.
these two allow 'tagging' of arbitrary windows with 'tags' (or 'labels'). such 'tagged' windows can then be used in ':NextWindow (@PROP=foo)' commands to quickly cycle through a subset of available windows.
since the 'tags' are applied as real xproperties to a window they survive a restart of fluxbox or even another windowmanager. the user can also set the tags by using xprop(1).
the next step regarding the UI should be to visualize the tags of a window.
reasons:
* fixes#1732115, allows to have chatwindows on another workspaces and reach them via :NextWindow (urgent=yes)
* old behavior can be achieve by using the (workspace=[current]) pattern
a 'BidiString' holds both the logical content and the visual reordered
version of the content of a string. this helps to reduce the number of
calls to reorder the string before drawing it (as introduced in the patch
from Ken Bloom) and to be more consistent in menus and textboxes (drawing
cursors and underlining text).
* parse the string only once for a bunch of chars to check instead of
starting over again and again from the beginning, created a helper
function to do this (FbTk::StringUtil::findCharFromAlphabetAfterTrigger)
* put same code into a function (setClockModeLabel())
* use much simpler code to switch between 12h and 24h mode and replace
the fmt-switches
While 769130f51a did fix one issue, it introduced another by changing the
logic related to the new SignalTracker. The original logic (introduced in
9ad388c5bf) was:
-> in 'leave(Signal)', only call 'disconnect'
-> in 'leaveAll()', call 'disconnect' and 'disconnectTracker'
But 769130f51a inverted this, calling 'disconnectTracker' in both cases but
only 'disconnect' in the 'leaveAll()' case, which would leave unattached signals
around after calling 'leave(Signal)'.
This fix not only repairs the logic, but renames the ambiguous 'disconnect'
boolean to something more explicit: 'withTracker'.
As noted in the previous commit, StrictMouseFocus now works as advertised:
Focus follows mouse on every EnterNotify event (except when the "ClientMenu"
closes or during alt+tab window cycling)
This is not actually implemented yet, but from now on, "MouseFocus" means:
Focus follows mouse only when you are moving the mouse, any EnterNotify events
caused by non-mouse operations (window closing, keycommands, changing
desktops) will *not* shift focus
And once fully-implemented, "StrictMouseFocus" will mean:
Focus follows mouse on every EnterNotify event (except when the "ClientMenu"
closes or during alt+tab window cycling)
the old way of deciding which head to (re)maximize the current window
was to just test if the center of the window is INSIDE which head.
now we calculate the closest head which fixes the problem
using a smaller type ('long' on 64bit is 8 byte, 'int' is 4) results in
strange properties, eg:
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ, undefined atom # 0x2726130
(when xpropping a maximized xterm). this might cause misbehavior in apps.
