This serves as a good example for the way refreshes are done:
setDirty("all", function() ... end)
* the "all" will have all widgets on screen repainted.
In this case that is needed because the config pane has
different sizes, covering different parts of underlying
widgets. So they need to be repainted every time.
* the function will return the area to refresh and is evaluated
after painting. In this example, we take the area that is covered
by the config pane before switching it (if present at all), and
hand it to the refresh area function as an upvalue.
When the function is called later after painting, it will
use that saved area and combine it with the area that is covered
then by the widget. That way, parts that are covered no more are
included in the refresh area, too.
See documentation in the code.
In short: There is now one single method, setDirty(), that triggers
repaints and/or refreshes.
All variables in UIManager are gone - at least from an external
perspective. Everything is done through setDirty().
This also allows for easier debugging, since all requests come
in via function calls.
when the image (e.g. a PNG) does contain an alpha channel, that can
be honored by ImageWidget. It doesn't do so by default for compatibility
(arguably, we should change that in the future), it has to be enabled
by setting the "alpha" property to "true" (boolean, not string).
external data (and in bad cases our own) can contain invalid byte
sequences in UTF8 strings. A prominent example are file names.
There was a 1-off bug in calculating the allowed length for multibyte
chars, and the iterator was a bit too greedy when stumbling upon
invalid sequences, returning a single "invalid" char for a sequence
up to the point where it became invalid in calculation. Now, we present
one invalid char for the first byte of that sequence and then check
for a valid char starting with the next byte.
This is the remaining gruntwork of #1276. I believe that only leaves networkmgr.lua and filemanagersearch.lua, which will require a little more thought.
our network manager script isn't the beauty of the code base.
However, this fixes a case where it would crash the reader when an
external command fails.
fixes#1279.
the height of filechooser is provided when creating filechooser
widget since there may be no title as in filemanger which needs
a special title widget to contain filemanger menu.
Lots of the device-related distinction wandered into
base/ffi/framebuffer_<driver>. This eases the refresh logic in
UI manager, which basically only decides what kind of refresh
to trigger. The device specific configuration in the framebuffer
driver decides how to realize that whish.
screen.lua is gone, in its place is now the framebuffer driver.
The device abstraction decides what framebuffer driver to load.
While looking into #1219 I accidentally ended up refactoring some stuff.
Tested in emulator and on H2O, but be wary because I might have overlooked something.
Don't increase counter for regional updates
Also some workarounds for Kobos
Try to avoid update_regions_func poisoning
Reset it at the end of repaint() even if nothing was found dirty
Ensure regional updates are always PARTIAL, in
case we get a region attached to an automatically triggered refresh, not
marked force_partial [which, hey, shouldn't happen, but apparently does
sometimes ^^]
This will convert any file name to lowercase before doing the comparison.
Note that this will only work for ASCII character range, a full Unicode
aware solution will be much more complicated. And in the end, file names
are byte arrays, not character strings ;-)
fixes#1183.
The strcoll() workaround we had in place for Kobo devices was (or has
become) ineffective. We had set self.strcoll to nil on Kobo devices -
but this was the instance variable. Setting it to nil effectively makes
the instance variable vanish, so when trying to access it later, it
was not there and got looked up via the metatable - which had the original
reference. Setting it to nil had no effect whatsoever.
We simplify that approach and set the replacement function where before we
had set this to nil.
This is a partial fix for issue #1183 (and explains a comment in issue #686
which says that the old fix did not work).
However, to really fix#1183 - if we want to do so - we would need a collate
function that normalizes uppercase/lowercase before compare.
Since commit 12a76fee33, we had a potential
bug on the event mechanism:
It introduced (besides the checkTasks method itself) a second run of the
checkTasks() method. In the second run, however, scheduled events were
not taken into consideration in how long to wait for input events
afterwards.
So when the after the first run of checkTasks() there were new scheduled
tasks added to the task queue, they were not properly scheduled and
and depended on an already existing scheduled event or an input event
to trigger.
This might have led to unexpected order of execution (though the order
is not guaranteed by the task scheduling anyway!) or to events triggering
not at all until the next input event.
And koreader release version is normalized to a 10 digits containing
a four digits year field followed by a two digits month field followed
by a four digits revision field like "2014041079".
