* hmmz, lots of shimmery internals..
Instead of using a boolean to indicate support for certain
features i now use and enum (NONE, LIBPARTED, EXTENDED).
This allowed me to clean up some stuff that annoyed me ;)
Still.. the core could use a bit more love...
* src/GParted_Core.cc: removed sleep( 1 ). This isn't needed anymore now the layout is scanned before the re-readtest. (saves seconds at scantime :) )
* replaced C-style typeconversion with static_casts throughout the project.
* added MIN and MAX to filesystemstruct to set min. and max sizes of a filesystem. So instead of checking per filesystem
i now simply check the fs.MIN or fs.MAX. this results in less and cleaner code. Also this will come in handy when adding
support for new filesystems. (This also fixed several minor bugs with filesystemsizes and gained some improvement in resizer
performance)
* Every devicescan now tests on beforehand if the kernel is able to reread the partitiontable. If the kernel is unable to do
this, i disallow most operations. This may seem weird and even a bad thing to do, but the fact is it protects
the innocent user from a lot of potential damage. Till the linuxkernel is able to reread partitiontables no matter what, this seems
to be the best option. Of course a dialog with information will popup whenever such a situation is encountered.
In a next release i might consider adding an 'advanced mode' for users who know what they're doing.
* src/Dialog_Partition_New.cc: selecting 'extended partition' twice caused a segfault. i cannot believe i didn't detect this bug earlier :| Fixed.
also made it possible to create an unformatted partition.
* src/GParted_Core.cc: backend support for creating partition without filesystem (unformatted).
* 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'
* Again way too many chances to create a detailed entry (i'm glad i'm the only dev atm :P ).
Resizing of ext2/3 works perfect now. I've even tested it on the partition holding my SG seasons =)
Implemented checking of filesystems (only internally used atm).
Done some overall tweaking, finetuning etc.. release 0.0.7 is getting shape.
* 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 ;)
* configure.in: added checks for libuuid and libdl. Also refined libparted check a bit.
* include/Partition.h,
src/Partition.cc: removed Get_Color()
* include/Utils.h: added inline Glib::ustring Get_Color( const Glib::ustring & filesystem )
* src/Dialog_Partition_New.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc: make use of Get_Color from Utils.h
* src/Device.cc: fixed a crasher with (at least) pl_PL locale.
* src/Dialog_Partition_New.cc: changed width of optionmenus from 150 to 160 pixels. (in certain langs the strings didn't fit)
* src/VBox_VisualDisk.cc: used/unused legend doesn't have to show up if there's only linux-swap.
* 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.
