Win_Gparted and Dialog_Progress were creating threads to perform most
functions in the background. Most of the time, the only reason the
threads blocked was to execute an external command. The external command
execution has been changed to spawn the command asynchronously and wait
for completion with a nested main loop. While waiting for completion,
the pipe output is captured via events. In the future, this will allow
for it to be parsed in real time to obtain progress information.
Those tasks in GParted_Core that still block now spawn a background thread
and wait for it to complete with a nested main loop to avoid hanging the
gui.
Part of Bug #685740 - Refactor to use asynchronous command execution
Win_Gparted and Dialog_Progress were looping on Gtk::Main::events_pending()
and iteration() with usleeps in between. Use a full mainloop instead and
a proper timeout to trigger pulsebar updates instead of usleeps.

Rename functions and a variable to use a generic term for the menu item
which changes the busy state of partitions now that it also activates
and deactivates LVM2 Physical Volumes as well as mounting and unmounting
file systems and enables and disables swap partitions.
When attempting to delete a non-empty LVM2 Physical Volume (one which is
still a member of a Volume Group) display a warning dialog which
includes the VG name and a list of the PV members to allow the user to
make an informed choice whether to go ahead and perform the deletion or
cancel to the operation. This dialog is displayed when a partition
containing a PV is being deleted or being overwritten by being
reformatted or pasted into.
Bug #670171 - Add LVM PV read-write support
In the Partition menu enable activation / deactivation of the LVM2
Volume Group of which the Physical Volume is a member.
Bug #670171 - Add LVM PV read-write support
Add the ability to set a new random UUID on file systems that provide
the appropriate tools to perform this action.
Update the help manual to include this new functionality. Also add
reference links to "setting a partition label" and "changing a
partition UUID" in the "copying and pasting a partition" section.
This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.
Bug #667278 - Add support for setting UUID
Bug #608308 - fix documentation - Copying and Pasting a Partition
When a new operation is added to operations list, check if a merge
is possible depending on the operation type:
OPERATION_RESIZE_MOVE: 2 consecutive "resize" operations on the
same partition
OPERATION_LABEL_PARTITION: 2 "label change" operations (need not be
consecutive) on the same partition
OPERATION_CHECK: 2 "check" operations (need not be
consecutive) on the same partition
OPERATION_FORMAT: 2 consecutive "format" operations on the
same partition
Closes Bug #438573 - Cancel out overlapping actions
Also fix a bug when copying partition using the Partition::Set(...)
method. This method did not initialize "sectors_used" and
"sectors_unused" members.

Improve the feedback to the user when creating or pasting a
partition on a device with no partition table found.
Prior to this enhancement if a user tried to create or paste a
partition onto a device with no partition table found, GParted
would present the user with a Create Partition Table dialog.
When creating a new partition this could cause confusion for
users who were trying to format the disk. The user could
mistakenly believe the choice of an MS-DOS file system was being
presented.
Similarly on a paste operation it could be confusing to be
presented with a dialog to create a partition table without any
explanation of why a partition table was suddenly required in the
midst of the paste operation.
Neither the new partition creation, nor the partition paste
actions were performed after the Create Partition Table dialog
was displayed.

functionality was already there, but it was not possible yet to
activate it from the gui.
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: construct operations in the activate*()
functions instead of in Add_Operation(). This approach allows for
more customization of operations.

src/Win_GParted.cc: removed the frame from the visualdiskwidget and
changed some visual details. Also changed visual representation of
selected partition. The latter might be considered as a work in
progress.

of dispatching it from the c'tor.
Also did some cleanups in the behaviour of opening and closing of
the operationslist.
* wrap mount/umount/swapon/swapoff instead of implementing it
ourselves (#330641)
* moved execute_command() to Utils and made the filesystems use it. All
in all this decreased the size of the binary with 10% and made stuff
more readable.
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: it shouldn't be possible to remove an extended
partition which contains logicals.
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: only show mountpoint column when there is
mountinfo.
* include/TreeView_Detail.h,
src/TreeView_Detail.cc: added mountpointcolumn (#304688)
* include/Win_GParted.h,

* use Glib::get_tmp_dir() instead of hardcoding it as '/tmp'
* use Glib::find_program_in_path() instead af a system/which combi
* display current device in windowtitle
* added detailed progressfeedback. It still needs some polishing, but
is already far better then the old situation. And what's more, it's
finally threadsafe :p
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: added visual feedback when unmounting or
deactivating swap. This can be usefull when it takes longer then
usual.

HIG
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: it's now possible to deactivate swap from within

src/Win_GParted.cc: use the new graphical partitiondisplay.
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: minor cleanups
* include/Utils.h,
src/Utils.cc: added get_color_as_pixbuf() to create colored squares
of custom sizes. These can be use troughout the app to represent
filesystems. e.g. in the treeview and convertmenu.

custom drawn widgets.
* include/Makefile.am,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Makefile.am: removed Dialog_About.[h,cc]
* src/Win_GParted.cc: from now on we use Gtk::AboutDialog instead of
our own AboutDialog. Also use Gtk::Stock items instead of hardcoded
paths to images (about and harddisk).
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: Replaced menu "Operations" with "Device" and "Partition". Also implemented a 'set-disklabel feature'.
* src/Dialog_Disklabel.cc: changed title and header to be more generic (was specific for a new disk).
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: Added menu 'Operations' to menubar. This menu is a duplicate of the popupmenu and imho a bit unnecessary, but lots of
people requested this.. :) Besides this, i removed 'menu_devices' and performed a few other cleanups.
* Added cylsize to Device and made Operation contain a Device instead of only the path and lenght.
This way i was able to dump Get_Cyl_Size in the Core. Besides that, i used cylsize in WinGparted and made a lot of
cosmetic changes. Most of them were pretty useless, but hey, i'm bored ;)
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: Removed 'deep_scan' flag. From now on all scans are 'deep scans'.
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: Gui is now loaded before anything else. (#161054)
* Added dialog (accessable from 'gparted' menu) which shows supported operations for the various filesystems.
I plan to put some more info in it, like what is missing etc..
* Replaced boolean 'resize' with 'shrink' and 'grow'. It seems some filesystems only support growing (e.g. xfs) so i need
two flags to control the behaviour of the filesystemclasses.
* Harddisks without disklabel are now properly initizalized and shown in the menu. When one tries to create a new partition on
such a disk a dialog pops up with some blabla about disklabels and offers to create a disklabel. sweet :P (special thanks to mantiena-baltix
for bringing this issue to my attention)
* fixed minor annoyance with refreshing detailed deviceinfo after a 'deep refresh'
* Rewrote a large part of gparteds internal code. Filesystemssupport is now much more separated from the rest of gparted and
adding support for other filesystems should be a piece of cake now (hope that's true :P)
It still needs a lot of love, but the foundations are laid =)
* instead of listing all partition in one list, logical partitions are now stored in a sublist in extended partition object.
This makes partitionhandling in gparted more natural and transparant. It also allowed me to clean up this ugly Operation class ;)
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: First load gui and then scan devices, this resulted in way faster startup and is more satisfactory (imho)
Also did some minor code cleanups and rearranged some functions needed for applying operations.
* src/Dialog_Progress.cc: few minor code cleanups.
* include/Device.h,
src/Device.cc: made 'deep-scan' optional in Read_Disk_Layout. Removed obsolete (already) commented function.
* include/Partition.h,
src/Partition.cc: Took used sectors out of Set() and added a Set_Used() function instead. Also added Reset() .
* src/Dialog_Partition_New.cc: minor change to make use of the new Set() in Partition..
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: show pulsing progressbar while refreshing devices.
