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.
* include/Makefile.am,

include/Win_GParted.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Makefile.am,
src/Win_GParted.cc,
include/OperationCheck.h (new),
src/OperationCheck.cc (new): added 'check' operation. The
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.

include/OperationCopy.h,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Dialog_Partition_Copy.cc,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/OperationCopy.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc: made blocksize settable by the user.
* src/DialogManageFlags.cc: disabled resizing of this dialog
* include/DialogFeatures.h,
include/Makefile.am,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/DialogFeatures.cc,
src/Makefile.am,
src/Win_GParted.cc: renamed 'Filesystems' to 'Features' in the
featuredialog to better reflect the actual functionality
* include/Dialog_Filesystems.h,
src/Dialog_Filesystems.cc: removed
* include/DrawingAreaVisualDisk.h,
include/Makefile.am,
include/Win_GParted.h
src/DrawingAreaVisualDisk.cc,
src/Makefile.am
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.
* include/FrameVisualDisk.h,
src/FrameVisualDisk.cc: Removed.
* src/FrameVisualDisk.cc: prevent crasher when visual_disks is empty.
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: load devices at startup on signal_show instead
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,
src/Win_GParted.cc: added submenu 'Devices' which allows one to
select devices from the menu (#329415)
* 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.
* src/Dialog_Partition_Info.cc: removed separator in accordance to the
HIG
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: it's now possible to deactivate swap from within
gparted.
* src/GParted_Core.cc: sleep one second after deletion of a partition to
give the kernel some time to reread the partitiontable.
* happy new year ;)
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: fixed some alignment issues
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: removed confirmationdialogs for delete and
convert partitions (#319841).
Also renamed 'convert' to 'format' to reflect the actual
functionality.
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: replaced deprecated OptionMenu with ComboBox.
also fixed some issues which arised when no devices were detected.
* include/Partition.h,
src/Partition.cc: overloaded operator ==
* include/VBox_VisualDisk.h,
src/VBox_VisualDisk.cc: rewrote the graphical partitiondisplay. It
now supports resizing and the extended partition is also selectable.
see also #312656
* include/Win_GParted.h,
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.
* include/TreeView_Detail.h,
src/TreeView_Detail.cc,
include/VBox_VisualDisk.h,
src/VBox_VisualDisk.cc,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: use Utils::get_color_as_pixbuf() instead of
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 ;)
