2011-10-19git-gui: set suitable extended window manager hints.Libravatar Pat Thoyts1-0/+1
This patch uses recent Tk attributes support to specify the intended use of new toplevels by setting the correct EWMH hint. This helps modern window managers to apply sensible decoration for the tooltip and dialogs. Signed-off-by: Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
2011-07-11Fix tooltip display with multiple monitors on windows.Libravatar Pat Thoyts1-2/+2
On Windows the position of a window may be negative on a monitor to the left of the primary display. A plus sign is used as the separator between the width and height and the positional parts of the geometry so always include the plus sign even for negative positions on this platform.

2010-01-27git-gui: use themed tk widgets with Tk 8.5Libravatar Pat Thoyts1-23/+28
This patch enables the use of themed Tk widgets with Tk 8.5 and above. These make a significant difference on Windows in making the application appear native. On Windows and MacOSX ttk defaults to the native look as much as possible. On X11 the user may select a theme using the TkTheme XRDB resource class by adding an line to the .Xresources file. The set of installed theme names is available using the Tk command 'ttk::themes'. The default on X11 is similar to the current un-themed style - a kind of thin bordered motif look. A new git config variable 'gui.usettk' may be set to disable this if the user prefers the classic Tk look. Using Tk 8.4 will also avoid the use of themed widgets as these are only available since 8.5. Some support is included for Tk 8.6 features (themed spinbox and native font chooser for MacOSX and Windows). Signed-off-by: Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2008-01-22git-gui: Work around random missing scrollbar in revision listLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+2
If the horizontal scrollbar isn't currently visible (because it has not been needed) but we get an update to the scroll port we may find the scrollbar window exists but the Tcl command doesn't. Apparently it is possible for Tk to have partially destroyed the scrollbar by removing the Tcl procedure name but still leaving the widget name in the window registry. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-14git-gui: Paper bag fix missing translated stringsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
The Tcl expression "[append [mc Foo] Bar]" does not return the string "FooBar" after translation; instead it is setting the variable Foo to the value Bar, or if Foo is already defined it is appending Bar onto the end of it. This is *not* what we wanted to have happen here. Tcl's join function is actually the correct function but its default joinStr argument is a single space. Unfortunately all of our call sites do not want an extra space added to their string. So we need a small wrapper function to make the call to join with an empty join string. In C this is (roughly) the job of the strcat function. Since strcat is not yet used at the global level it is a reasonable name to use here. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-12git-gui: Disambiguate "commit"Libravatar Harri Ilari Tapio Liusvaara1-1/+1
Commit is used as both verb and noun. While these happen to be the same in some languages, they are not the same in all languages, so disambiguate them using context-sensitive i18n. Signed-off-by: Harri Ilari Tapio Liusvaara <hliusvaa@cc.hut.fi> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-10git-gui: Localize commit/author dates when displaying themLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-3/+3
Currently the Git plumbing is not localized so it does not know how to output weekday and month names that conform to the user's locale preferences. This doesn't fit with the rest of git-gui's UI as some of our dates are formatted in Tcl and some are just read from the Git plumbing so dates aren't consistently presented. Since git-for-each-ref is presenting us formatted dates and it offers no way to change that setting even in git 1.5.3.1 we need to first do a parse of the text strings it produces, correct for timezones, then reformat the timestamp using Tcl's formatting routines. Not exactly what I wanted to do but it gets us consistently presented date strings in areas like the blame viewer and the revision picker mega-widget's tooltips. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-10git-gui: Mark revision chooser tooltip for translationLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+6
Someone on #git today pointed out that the revision chooser's tooltips are were being drawn with untranslated strings for the fixed labels we include, such as "updated", "commit" and "remote". These strings are now passed through mc to allow them to be localized. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-02Mark strings for translation.Libravatar Christian Stimming1-8/+8
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.

2007-07-29git-gui: Make sure remotes are loaded when picking revisionsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+4
If we are started for only a blame/browser/citool run we don't usually initialize the list of remotes, or determine which refs are tracking branches and which are local branch heads. This is because some of that work is relatively expensive and is usually not going to be needed if we are started only for a blame, or to make a single commit. However by not loading the remote configuration we were crashing if the user tried to open a browser for another branch through the Repository menu, as our load_all_heads procedure was unable to decide which refs/heads/ items were actually local heads. We now force all remote configuration data to be loaded if we have not done so already and we are trying to create a revision mega widget. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-25git-gui: Show ref last update times in revision chooser tooltipsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+33
If we can we now show the last modification date of a loose ref as part of the tooltip information shown in the revision picker. This gives the user an indication of when was the last time that the ref was modified locally, and may especially be of interest when looking at a tracking branch. If we cannot find the loose ref file than we try to fallback on the reflog and scan it for the date of the last record. We don't start with the reflog however as scanning it backwards from the end is not an easy thing to do in Tcl. So I'm being lazy here and just going through the entire file, line by line. Since that is less efficient than a single stat system call, its our fallback strategy. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-25git-gui: Display commit/tag/remote info in tooltip of revision pickerLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+230
Our revision chooser mega-widget now sets up tooltips for itself so that it displays details about a commit (or a tag and the commit it refers to) when the user mouses over that line in the filtered ref list. If the item is from a remote tracking branch then we also show the remote url and what branch on that remote we fetch from, so the user has a clear concept of where that revision data originated. To help the merge dialog I've also added a new constructor that makes the dialog only offer unmerged revisions (those not in HEAD), as this allows users to avoid performing merges only to get "Already up to date" messages back from core Git.

2007-07-18git-gui: Increase the default height of the revision pickerLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
Showing only five lines of heads/tags is not very useful to a user when they have about 10 branches that match the filter expression. The list is just too short to really be able to read easily, at least not without scrolling up and down. Expanding the list out to 10 really makes the revision picker easier to read and access, as you can read the matching branches much more quickly. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Allow double-click in checkout dialog to start checkoutLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+4
If the user double clicks a branch in the checkout dialog then they probably want to start the checkout process on that branch. I found myself doing this without realizing it, and of course it did nothing as there was no action bound to the listbox's Double-Button-1 event handler. Since I did it without thinking, others will probably also try, and expect the same behavior. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Default selection to first matching refLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+5
If we have specifications listed in our revision picker mega-widget then we should default the selection within that widget to the first ref available. This way the user does not need to use the spacebar to activate the selection of a ref within the box; instead they can navigate up/down with the arrow keys and be done with it.

2007-07-08git-gui: Refactor branch switch to support detached headLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-7/+36
This is a major rewrite of the way we perform switching between branches and the subsequent update of the working directory. Like core Git we now use a single code path to perform all changes: our new checkout_op class. We also use it for branch creation/update as it integrates the tracking branch fetch process along with a very basic merge (fast-forward and reset only currently). Because some users have literally hundreds of local branches we use the standard revision picker (with its branch filtering tool) to select the local branch, rather than keeping all of the local branches in the Branch menu. The branch menu listing out all of the available branches is simply not sane for those types of huge repositories. Users can now checkout a detached head by ticking off the option in the checkout dialog. This option is off by default for the obvious reason, but it can be easily enabled for any local branch by simply checking it. We also detach the head if any non local branch was selected, or if a revision expression was entered. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Option to default new branches to match tracking branchesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+4
In some workflows users will want to almost always just create a new local branch that matches a remote branch. In this type of workflow it is handy to have the new branch dialog default to "Match Tracking Branch" and "Starting Revision"-Tracking Branch", with the focus in the branch filter field. This can save users working on this type of workflow at least two mouse clicks every time they create a new local branch or switch to one with a fast-forward. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Enhance choose_rev to handle hundreds of branchesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-99/+245
One of my production repositories has hundreds of remote tracking branches. Trying to navigate these through a popup menu is just not possible. The list is far larger than the screen and it does not scroll fast enough to efficiently select a branch name when trying to create a branch or delete a branch. This is major rewrite of the revision chooser mega-widget. We now use a single listbox for all three major types of named refs (heads, tracking branches, tags) and a radio button group to pick which of those namespaces should be shown in the listbox. A filter field is shown to the right allowing the end-user to key in a glob specification to filter the list they are viewing. The filter is always taken as substring, so we assume * both starts and ends the pattern the user wanted but otherwise treat it as a glob pattern. This new picker works out really nicely. What used to take me at least a minute to find and select a branch now takes mere seconds. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Allow users to match remote branch names locallyLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+8
Some workflows have users create a local branch that matches a remote branch they have fetched from another repository. If the user wants to push their changes back to that remote repository then they probably want to use the same branch name locally so that git-gui's push dialog can setup the push refspec automatically. To prevent typos with the local branch name we now offer an option to use the remote tracking branch name as the new local branch name. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Maintain remote and source ref for tracking branchesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+29
In the next change I want to let the user create their local branch name to match the remote branch name, so that the existing push dialog can push the branch back up to the remote repository without needing to do any sort of remapping. To do that we need to know exactly what branch name the remote system is using. So all_tracking_branches returns a list of specifications, where each specification is itself a list of: - local ref name (destination we fetch into) - remote name (repository we fetch from) - remote ref name (source ref we fetch from) Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Refactor the delete branch dialog to use class systemLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+21
A simple refactoring of the delete branch dialog to allow use of the class construct to better organize the code and to reuse the revision selection code of our new choose_rev mega-widget. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-07-08git-gui: Abstract the revision picker into a mega widgetLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+127
This rather large change pulls the "Starting Revision" part of the new branch dialog into a mega widget that we can use anytime we need to select a commit SHA-1. To make use of the mega widget I have also refactored the branch dialog to use the class system, much like the delete remote branch dialog already does. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
