= File Ownership =
|
|
In the minimal case, a nautilus file is owned by:
|
|
- Window slot -> viewed_file
|
|
- Window slot -> history list using bookmarks
|
|
- Path bar -> button -> file
|
|
- Path bar -> button -> nautilus_drag_slot_proxy
|
|
|
|
When a file is a bookmark, nautilus application keeps a list with them, so it
|
|
also owns those files.
|
|
|
|
Window slot is the creator of the file if the file was already not present due
|
|
to be a bookmark.
|
|
|
|
The window has a queue with information of the closed tabs, owning references
|
|
to previous files.
|
|
|
|
= Directory Ownership =
|
|
Every file has a directory associated, that is usually the parent. However, when
|
|
the file is a root and has no parent, the file is called self_owned, and the directory
|
|
and the file are the same location, but different objects.
|
|
|
|
It's better to always deal with files instead of directories, and let the file handle
|
|
the ownership of its associated directory.
|
|
|
|
= View Ownership =
|
|
It's owned by:
|
|
- Window slot as a strong reference, since the view sinks the floating reference.
|
|
So to freed it the window slot needs to destroy it with gtk_widget_destroy ()
|
|
since it's the container, but also needs to unref it.
