The positional argument was being silently ignored until meson 0.60.0 where
it fails with "ERROR: Function does not take positional arguments".

Currently, it is not possible to create encrypted archives over
Nautilus. Let's add support for encrypted .zip files to not have
to install a dedicated archive manager.

A new bug in uncrustify 0.73 causes a pointer type to be interpreted
as an arithmetic operation, thus adding a space. [0]
This causes the CI pipeline to fail on style-check job.
To workaround this, ignore the "space around arithmetic operator" rule.

The `validate-desktop`, `validate-desktop-autorun-software` and
`validate-appdata` meson tests fail currently because of the updated meson.
This is because of the recent change, which requires explicit specification
of dependencies. Let's specify them to fix the pipeline.

Whe the ASK option gone, the only alternative to the default is RUN.
This option is not safe: it's too easy to accidentally run programs.
Now we have a "Run as a Program" action in the context menu, which is
available by default (no configuration required) and safe (clearly
labeled, intentionally chosen).
So, remove the RUN option is no longer necessary, and with it we can
remove the preference from both the UI and GSettings schemas.

Discussed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/443
There is an option in Preferences which enables a dialog asking users
what they intend to do when they double-click an executable text file:
open as a text file or run as a program?
The dialog asking that question has known design problems, but they
remain unaddressed, which is not surprising because it's non-default.
Now, with the new menu item added in the last commit, the two options
("Open" and "Run as a Program") are both available by default in the
context menu, so there is no need to ask the question in a dialog.
Remove the option, the dialog, and the related code.

Part of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1700
A gsettings-based option "confirm-trash" existed to determine if a
confirmation dialog should be shown when emptying the trash. This
setting, enabled by default, was misappropriated for the unrelated
"delete directly" operation of files outside Trash. This latter use of
this setting was misleading and unexpected (more discussion on the
linked issue page.)
Remove option "confirm-trash" entirely because neither of the above
mentioned operations are reversible, so they should always require
confirmation.
Add ellipsis to labels for the "empty trash" and "delete permanently"
actions since they now always invoke a confirmation dialog.
Closes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1699
Now that we have backend support for showing and sorting by btime, add
an optional "Created" column to the list view.
This enables using the attribute as caption for icon view too.
Nautilus is a file manager, so we should star files.
Previously we starred the content resources extracted by Tracker Miner
FS, instead. This had the advantage that the stars would follow file
renames. It had the downside of being more complex and limited in
which files can be starred. In Tracker 2.x, the feature only worked
in folders indexed by Tracker Miner FS. With Tracker 3.x, it was
additionally limited to files where Tracker had extracted metadata
-- mainly just documents and media files.
This commit takes the simpler approach of storing the star against
the file URL. All files can now be starred, and stars will no longer
persist when a file is moved or renamed.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/160
This means the Nautilus flatpak will be able to use Tracker on systems
which don't have Tracker 3 available on the host. It comes at a cost of
increased resource consumption inside the Flatpak due running an extra
indexer process there.
Mostly the port is straightforward, we connect to tracker-miner-fs
explicitly over D-Bus instead of the centralized tracker-store daemon
we connected to previously.
The search-engine-tracker test is now isolated from the user's real
Tracker index using the `tracker-sandbox` script provided by Tracker,
and it lets tracker-miner-fs index the test file rather than trying
to synthesize the expected database contents.
There are more changes in nautilus-tag-manager.c. Until now, starred
file information was stored in the tracker-miner-fs database. This has
some downsides, firstly the data is deleted if someone runs `tracker
reset --hard`, secondly it isn't possible to do this from inside a
Flatpak sandbox with Tracker 3.0. because the
This commit changes the NautilusTagManager to set up a private
database inside XDG_DATA_HOME/nautilus/tags. This stores the starred
file information. The database is managed with Tracker, which allows us
to continue using the rename-tracking that tracker-miner-fs provides.
The same limitations apply as before that only files in indexed
locations can be starred.
The list of releases is outdated, which is probably why GNOME Software and
"flatpak info" shows version 3.32.1 for our nightly bundles, although the
About dialog shows something completely different. Let's replace the list of
outdated releases with just the current one. Also add comment in meson.build
to not forget about it next time.
Based on patches from Felipe Borges for other apps. Quoting him:
The GNOME Shell search results are forwarded from the results of
GLib's g_desktop_app_info_search() function, which matches the
Name, Exec, Keywords, GenericName, X_GNOME_FullName, and Comment
keys from desktop files[0].
Since Totem is now named "Videos", a query for "totem" would
match the "Exec" key and present the application in the search
results as expected. Unfortunately that doesn't happen for Flaptaked
Totem, which would get its desktop file "Exec" key overwritten to
something such as Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable
--arch=x86_64 --command=totem org.gnome.Totem --new-document
This way, searching for "totem" when only the Flatpaked version
of it is installed returns no results. Searching for "Videos"
presents the application as expected.
Its been proposed in GLib to parse the "Exec" key for searches
but that was rejected[1] because it would imply establishing an
API which assumes that the command line behavior of Flatpak would
be stable/never-change.
A fix was proposed in Flatpak directly[2] but it was rejected,
leaving us with the only option of adding the historical/legacy
application names to the "Keywords" key in their desktop files.
Many users, such as myself, have the "muscle memory" of search
for the old application's name, such as "totem", "gedit", "evince".
Although I agree that the new names should be presented to new
users and that the old ones shouldn't be visible in UI, it makes
sense and little effort to support the search for the old names IMO.

Add new version of FileOperations interface. This versions adds
PlatformData argument to all methods. Currently supported arguments
are parent-handle and timestamp.
This change is necessary for proper focus handling.

C++ comments ("//") are converted to C comments ("/* */"), but they
are not grouped together. So, each line is enclosed by "/* */". Let's
add cmt_cpp_group and cmt_c_group options to ensure that the single
line comments are grouped together.
Let's add "indent_ternary_operator = 1" to our uncrustify.cfg in order
to prevent the following unwanted change:
list = back ? nautilus_window_slot_get_back_history (self->window_slot) :
- nautilus_window_slot_get_forward_history (self->window_slot);
+ nautilus_window_slot_get_forward_history (self->window_slot);
