git-gui: Disable native platform text selection in "lists"

2007-09-17T03:12:19Z

Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox. This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better choice then the native listbox widget. In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region and we perform our own selection management in the background via keybindings and mouse bindings. In such uses we don't want the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by dragging their mouse through the text widget. Doing so creates a very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget. Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties as unselected text. So long as we don't actually use the "sel" tag for anything in code its effectively invisible. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Make the tree browser also use lightgray selection

2007-09-14T00:52:47Z

In 9adccb05 Matthijs Melchior changed our selection colors in the main index/working directory file lists to use a lightgray as the background color as this made the UI easier to read on all platforms. When we did that change we missed doing also doing in the file browser UI. Doing so just makes the entire thing UI consistent. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

Mark strings for translation.

2007-09-02T15:54:48Z

The procedure [mc ...] will translate the strings through msgcat. Strings must be enclosed in quotes, not in braces, because otherwise xgettext cannot extract them properly, although on the Tcl side both delimiters would work fine. [jes: I merged the later patches to that end.] Signed-off-by: Christian Stimming Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

git-gui: Use more modern looking icons in the tree browser

2007-07-30T03:44:52Z

This is a replacement of all of the icons in our tree browser window, as the prior icons just looked too 1980s Tk-ish. The icons used here are actually from a KDE themed look, so they might actually be familiar to some users of git-gui. Aside from using more modern looking icons we now have a special icon for executable blobs, to make them stand out from the normal non-executable blobs. We also denote symlinks now with a different icon, so they stand out from the other types of objects in the tree. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Allow users to browse any branch, not just the current one

2007-07-18T05:39:27Z

We now allow users to pick which commit they want to browse through our revision picking mega-widget. This opens up in a dialog first, and then opens a tree browser for that selected commit. It is a very simple approach and requires minimal code changes. I also clarified the language a bit in the Repository menu, to show that these actions will access files. Just in case a user is not quite sure what specific action they are looking for, but they know they want some sort of file thing. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Allow browser subcommand to start in subdirectory

2007-07-18T04:53:14Z

Like our blame subcommand the browser subcommand now accepts both a revision and a path, just a revision or just a path. This way the user can start the subcommand on any branch, or on any subtree. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

git-gui: Correct ls-tree buffering problem in browser

2007-07-10T01:12:35Z

Our file browser was showing bad output as it did not properly buffer a partial record when read from `ls-tree -z`. This did not show up on my Mac OS X system as most trees are small, the pipe buffers generally big and `ls-tree -z` was generally fast enough that all data was ready before Tcl started to read. However on my Cygwin system one of my production repositories had a large enough tree and packfile that it took a couple of pipe buffers for `ls-tree -z` to complete its dump. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

git-gui: Always use absolute path to all git executables

2007-07-09T05:17:09Z

Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want to execute it we now search for the main git wrapper at startup, do symlink resolution, and then always use the absolute path that we found to execute the binary later on. This should save us some cycles, especially on stat challenged systems like Cygwin/Win32. While I was working on this change I also converted all of our existing pipes ([open "| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper functions. These functions take additional options like --nice and --stderr which instructs Tcl to take special action, like running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available) or redirect stderr to stdout for capture in Tcl.
