Moving the start sector of an extended partition should not adversely
affect booting an operating system because an extended partition is
only a container for logical partitions.
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.

We used to just log libparted exceptions without handling them. This patch
changes the exception handler to display a modal dialog box and return the
chosen action to libparted.
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.
Added a display refresh to the event queue to address this
problem.
Previously, the display area of the visual disk seemed to
disappear when enough operations had been added to the queue so
that a scrollbar was required (about 4 operations).
If the three lines in HBoxOperations::load_operations method for
"//make scrollwindow focus on the last operation in the list"
were commented out then this also prevented the problem from
occurring.
Interestingly, if I changed the "set_cursor" method to
a "scroll_to_row" method, then this problem does not occur for an
additional 2 operations (about 6 operations total).

swap partition has been deleted

GParted already has basic support only to recognize Btrfs volumes; if
configured, use our newer methods to handle them.
Also, put in place interface controls for all supported generic actions.
Make align to MiB the default setting instead of align to cylinder.
Migrate logic for alignment to cylinder into its own method
snap_to_cylinder, and place common logic in snap_to_alignment.
Add alignment checks for situations where space is needed for Master
Boot Record or Extended Boot Record.
Adjust ranges on spin buttons according to required boot record space.
Copy fix for off by one sector (#596552) from
Dialog_Partition_New::Get_New_Partition to
Dialog_Base_Partition::Get_New_Partition
Enhance resize / move logic for checking locations of nearby logical
partitions to not depend on the partition ordering.
Note: This commit does not include limiting graphic movement according
to required boot record space.
According to parted documentation, only "msdos" and "dvh" disk
types (or partition table types) support extended partitions.
All other disk types support primary partitions only.
The ability to paste into an existing partition was disabled in
v0.4.0. This ability has been re-enabled along with a warning
dialog that indicates the data in the existing partition will be
lost if the copy and paste operation is applied.
Restore copyright entries by original author to those of his last
known repository commit titled "released gparted-0.3.4 on
LarryT's request." on Feb 25, 2007.
Add my own copyright entries for files in which I changed source
code. Files in which I only made spelling changes do not have my

When used with parted-2.0, GParted would display a warning
message indicating "kernel unable to re-read partition table" on
every device scan for each device with at least one partition
mounted. Device scans occur when GParted starts up, immediately
after a series of actions are applied, and upon manually invoked
device refreshes. This, I believe, is excessive notification to
the user and would be annoying.
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.
To further minimize the chance of accidentally creating a new partition
table, the following steps have been taken:
1) Rename non-standard Create button to stock Apply button.
2) Remove extra warning about erasing entire disk device.
3) Update GParted Manual accordingly.
Closes GParted bug #576374
