now it really does look for the right way to control per screen and
only use the new e_system back-end to query/list devices etc. ...
this now opens the door to adding ddc support to e_system then using
it from e_backlight.
i can't test this... yet - but this means in theory the backlight
gadget will control the backlight of the screen it is on...
pre-scale a bunch of resolutions for generated wallpaper files that
intersect with common resolution sizes so e will automatically load
the nearest resolution to be more efficient on load to only decode
what is needed. a bi-product is that e now has a wallapper gen
tool that is simpler than writing your own edc files... :)
@feature
gtk and efl can use csd. we kind of were copying gtk's but we got it
wrong... in efl. and in etoo as a result. this fixes it to use
min/bas/max size as covering the whole window including the insets.
@fix
amazing this didn't blow up before. missing e_ in front ad the macro
should have transformed this to wrap the e version of this func...
clang warning pointed this out. a real bug waiting to happen.
@fix
this means no leaked fd's between restarts too. cleaner. it also
encorces "die with parent" for enlightenment_start too as another
bonus in addition to its own fifo handling for singleton access per uid.
WARNING: you need to log out and log back in since the "protocol
expectations" (what exit codes do what and what parent and child
process are responsible for) changed so to get them both back in sync
you need to log out and in.
no improvements like per screen brightness... but a straight
conversion to the new system tool which simplifies e backlight a lot.
it'd be betetr to use the new system also to read backlight value and
list lightss etc ... but for now this is a good first stage.
so e has had a bit of a mess of setuid root tools to do things that
are essential to maintaing a functioning desktop/laptop/tablet/phone
like device like shutting it down or suspending or sqizzling the cpu
governor or messing with the backlight or... you get the idea.
this has been spread around enlightenment_sys and other special
purpose tools. this now unifies it into a single "always there"
enlightenment_system backend setuid root slave process whose job it is
to do all these things via a stdio protocol in an organized way. this
means latency to do something is lower, but at the expense of
consuming ram and a lurking process. unfortunately the lurking will be
needed soon when i add ddc support to make it even vaguely efficient,
so it's a cost i guess we have to pay now. we'll need this in future
as well for some stats collection and more.
still need to port existing code to use this instead of the existing stuff,
and then remove of the old stuff.
Summary:
This adds additional checks to ensure we dont add this field
when it shouldn't be there. Currently files like .tgz are
listing a "Resolution" on mouseover in EFM.
Test Plan:
Mouse over different file types. See inappropriate field.
Apply patch.
Mouse over file types. Resolution should only show for media.
