This unit hosts previously awkward UI view methods which weren't related
to the view itself, but to the current desktop environment. These
functions are now at their appropriate place.
Following the refactoring that has been initiated in pdfmasher's
"vala" branch, I pushed more progress window logic into the
core.
The UI code is now a bit dumber than it used to be, and the core
now directly decides when the progress window is shown and
hidden. The "job finished" notification is also directly sent by the
core. Job description update logic is handled by a core gui
textfield.
Job description contsants also moved to the core, triggering
a localisation migration from "ui" to "core".
Delta values now work for non-numerical values. Any column,
when its value differs from its ref, becomes orange.
A column that was already a "delta column" keeps its previous
behavior (dupe cells for these columns are always displayed in
orange).
Sorting behavior, when Dupes Only and Delta Values are enabled
at the same time, has also been extended to non-numerical
values, making it easy to mass-mark dupe rows with orange
values.
Documentation was updated, unit tests were added.
Fixes#213
Under a windows that supports symlinks (Vista+), we still need
proper privileges. If we don't have it, OSError is raised and we
need to correctly handle this case. Ref #220.
Previously, our selection would simply be lost (because the dupes that were
just swapped wouldn't be present in the table). Now, instead of trying to
preserve our dupe-selection, we preserve our index-selection when in dupes-only
mode. [#222]
Having dupes from ref folders (which makes ref switching impossible) would make
the new feature glitchy (selection would be emptied). Now, in cases where the action
results in nothing being changed, the selection stays intact. [#222]
When running dupeGuru under Linux with a messed up locale, it's
UnicodeEncodeError we get. Instead of popping a reportable traceback, it's
better to just pop the Problems dialog up.
Because the latest changes in hscommon include the introduction of a base GUIObject which significantly changes view setting mechanisms, significant adjustments had to be made in dupeGuru.
