so - some people have issues if we open devices. why... i don't know,
but add an option to toggle this and be conservative and have it off
by default
@fix
now have a base dpi (75) which is multiplied by the scale factor and
then set in both xft.dpi and xsettings. also a checkbox to turn
setting of this on or off so e can be told to not touch these at all.
this adds a live exposé style set of windows in large mode and 2d
navigation, allows it to stay up so you can bind to a single key or
mouse button to bring up and keep thre unbtil dismissed etc. ... this
requires theme changes and for now these changes have only been added
to the flat theme branch in efl - they will become default in the
future, so dont use this and expect it to work unless you also try the
flat theme default from the flat branch in efl. see
https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6726 for details on that.
this is not complete. it has some TODO items at the top with XXX: but
.. it's good enough now to share.
@feat
fixes T5978

now you can't make things weird by having an external lock command -
solves that unsolvable race... :) the other iseu i think is not relaed
to e and smellslike old garbage fb content either
xorg/kms/driver/kernel or something - i have seen junk onresume
sometimes but its a fb from like hours ago even so i smell it might be
that. this solves the other issue brought up by not making it possible
i've seen various people get confused as to why their screen won't
blank and never heard of anyone using offline mode. i think this can
retire and just disabkling blanking manually or as presentation/media
tools do these days... they ask to suspend screensaver anyway. yes it
also affects notifications - but that is a good question - if you want
these or not? may as well simplify.
so our writes sometimes would get stuck because kernel io buffers are
full and writes are slow. on specific machines with super slow write
media and small amounts of ram this was bad.
this moves writing totally to threads. the eet file is opened in a
thread and closed in the same thread. only the eet_write/eet_data_write are
done in the mainloop. this is a 'walk struct, serialise it and compress
it" which compared to blocking for possibly multiple seconds in a
write/close/rename backup cfg files doing real io to kernel 9even
though kernle should buffer these)... is a hell of a lot better.
so sure. we block lock enough to walk the structures/lists, encode the
blob and put it through a fast lz4 compress cycle and drop into memory.
the actual write happens in the thread when the file is closed and
that is a vast improvement if you hit these cases.
This is currently using libinputs gesture recognition. And offers a
config screen to setup new gestures.
1. No default gesture bindings are setup
2. When libinput is not available the module is not going to be loaded,
and nothing is recognited.+
3. Only swipe gestures are recognized yet.
4. For now, you are required to be part of the input group, otherwise we cannot
get the libinput events. (See Todo 1)
5. The visual representation is not really good. In terms of UI, it is
visually showing a value coming from left to right, which is
indicating a direction, which is not always the direction of the
gesture, which is kind of bad. More improvements needed here.
Some things that still can be done:
1. The whole libinput things should be handled by elput, either with the
input group hack, or logind, or simply by root. The ideal idea would
be that e_sys is creating the elput context, which also listens for new
devices etc.. When all this is done, and it recognizes a new device, it
can simply sent a message from e_sys to e, that there is some new
device, with a opened fd. (However, this all needs to be locked up in a
way that e_sys cannot be abused)
alsoit was inaccurate reling on polling (a poller) and thus wakeups
all the time ... so use the "lock on blanking" in timers instead... :)
less complexity to deal with in config anyway.
it used ot be a separate process to run to hide e starting in the bg
on a slow hdd loading modules etc. but due to compisitng and other
changes its all internal now, so keep it on always as it guarantees a
better smoother experience with less complexity to maintain.
new feature - polkit auth agent support partly in core (need to have
the pam setuid root auth tool respond via dbus) and partly a module
(the agent dbus protocol handling and setup as well as auth gui). this
took me a while even with all the docs to work out how polkit works...
it was really fussy and its data structs are an extra pain in the butt
to craft with eldbus, but i managed it. not everything is supported
but the core basics are there and this can be built on.
right now the gui is really basic, but does the job.
this allows for a shorter timeout when on battery vs when on ac for
backlight dimming. this is actually important so when on ac dimming
can interrupt minimally bur when on battery it can be much more
aggressive.
we dont need to delay module loading anymore so remove allof this -
priority too shouldn't be necessary as well and was just a workaround.
this remvoes all of that removing some e module api's and module
struct members as well as some global config fields. it also ensures
all config files are up to date as well.
Summary:
This patch introduce an alternative to suspend on blank.
Hibernate on blank.

now right click on any gagdte in bryce and they ALL have a menu that
allows removal of the gagdte bar or the gadget as well as access to
gadget settings AND the ability for gadgets to extendthis menu like
lunhcer does per icon. now it's standard behavior everywhere which is
much easier to use and discover. it also removes code from every
gadget to do their own "button 3" handling as its handled centrally
making the code in gadgets simpler.
this is part of my effort to improve usability (mostly discoverability
and accessibility of settings/features).
also long press left mouse gets u gadget right click menu
this has to move many modules/gadgets actions to mouse up instead of
mouse down so the bryce has a chance to trap the events first and set
hold flags. but now long press for 0.5 sec and bryce menu come sup
(with left mouse .. so touch friendly).
in addition move context menu hanbdling to e_gadget instead of in
bryce and in e_gadget. a context callback is called so different
systems can still do different things. this should probably change to
always pop up a mnenu and simple call populate callbacks for site
owner specific content.
all in all it makes the new gagdtes more consistent, easier to use
(without a right mouse button), doesn't need special action bindings
etc. etc.
elm wont switch profile on the fly if ELM_PROFILE is set this is
considered a custom override thus it stops working... so don't set it
- the elm config files should contain the right profiles to use.
so a new bug in a gpu driver. if dpms is enabled, wakeup doesn't
happen. mouse doesn't do anything, rendering doesn't happen... i can
use the keyboard and ctrl+alt+enmd restart e or killall -HUP
enlightenment and e restarts and renders ... but nothing appears.
interestingly if i let it timeout again and wake it up a second
time... things render (but e is confused it seems and mouse input
doesnt work until i restart e). it's some kind of xorg/driver bug here
with this dpms - no dpms and all is fine. all e does with regards to
dplms is enable or disbale it (and set the timeouts) so e isn't doing
antyhign special otherwise with dpms on vs off ... so somethnig deeper
down the stack here, but to get a desktop that works at least for now,
add an option to not use dpms.
Summary:
bluez4 support is now basically dead. nothing ships it anymore. bluez5
is a new api that is rather different so new code. also a new gui with
more complete features etc.
not everything is done as i'd like. need:
1. many more icons for device types (60-70 maybe?)
2. a few specific custom icons for some action buttons (like
pair/unpair)
3. icons for group headers
4. gadget status - the gagdte itself displays zero status. it's a
button to display a popup. that's all.

this fixes when you drag a wqindow to screen edge and it flips if you
use alt+drag as opposed to just dragging titlebar around without alt.
it fixes it by updating your config to allow "any modifier" for edge
flips which is actually correct.
@fix
this is actually broken, as is entire the concept of using mixed e+elm configs.
if a user manually changes the profile, e.g., for a single app, then this will
overwrite the global profile name. similarly, setting the profile in this manner
overwrites the global profile, causing all existing apps to switch to that profile
This only skips writing the profile name to
~/.e/e/config/profile.cfg
This allows easier testing of E with custom profiles.
Note that this goes together with another patch in elementary, but the
env var is different (note: we could use a single one). This is only
meant for debugging.
export E_CONF_PROFILE_NOSAVE=1
this requires we have to force dpms on to reduce power. to avoid
glitches with the pointer staying around in x we need to support
suspending it too so it hides cleanly like the screen dims or undims.
also use the new powersave freeze mode to do this.
note that i've tested this on s3 supporting laptops and non-s3 and it
"works for me". it may require more testing and work. there is more to
power saving than just this as well but for now that's out of scope as
you have to mess with linux device autosuspend timeouts and a bunch
more (wowlan ... blahblah).
i need to find the source of the intermittent wakeups too in e. there
is a long lived timeout (8-ish seconds?) but more specifically e keeps
waking up from fd's and then reading /sys stuff about battery - some
event is causing us to do this... maybe to suspend this or make
battery checking very rare when in freeze mode (or screen off) etc.
so this fixes some glitches as well as supports a new way of sleeping
"alive" when hardware literally doesnt support normal s3 sleep... so
kind of a fix with a feature.
this is an easy format string attack vector which serves no purpose
that I can fathom. the commit log where it was added it also made
no mention of this, as it was done in a seemingly-unrelated feature
addition
So yeah, I've literally used sed to replace every occurrence of
ecore_time_add() with ecore_timer_loop_add() because I'm reasonably
confident that no part of E has a legitimate need for timer based on the
exact current time.
It would be really nice if I'm not wrong. :)
The reason for this is the incredible spew of clock_gettime() calls I'm
seeing on an ARM system (that should have a vdso for gettime, but...)
This can amount to thousands of system calls per second.
