UI now in separate renderer:
- the permissions popup
- settings dialog
- debug log dialog
- about window
Couple bug fixes:
- About Window: Fix 'escape' to close window
- Remove outdated dist/copy tasks from Gruntfile
Eslintified settings_view.js
* Clear data on finish of new install, unless re-link/light import
* Don't show setup options in file menu in middle of light import
* Naming changes to address feedback
- A new design for the import flow. It features:
- Icons at the top of every screen
- Gray background, blue buttons, thinner text
- Simpler copy
- A new design for the install flow. It features:
- Immediate entry into the QR code screen
- Animated dots to show that we're loading the QR code from the server
- Fewer screens: 1) QR 2) device name 3) sync-in-progress
- When not set up, the app opens directly into the install screen, which has been streamlined. The `--import` command-line argument will cause the app to open directly into the import flow.
- Support for two different flavors of builds - the normal build will open into the standard registration flow, and the import flavor will be exactly the same except during setup it will open directly into the import flow.
- A new design for the (dev-only) standalone registration view
- When these install sequences are active, the OS File menu has entries to allow you to switch the method of setup you'd like to use. These go away as soon as the first step is taken in any of these flows.
- The device name (chosen on initial setup) is now shown in the settings panel
- At the end of a light import, we hand off to the normal device link screen, starting at the QR code. On a full import, we remove the sensitive encryption information in the export to prevent conflicts on multiple imports.
- `Whisper.Backup.exportToDirectory()` takes an options object so you can tell it to do a light export.
- `Whisper.Backup.importFromDirectory()` takes an options object so you can force it to load only the light components found on disk. It also returns an object so you can tell whether a given import was a full import or light import.
- On start of import, we build a list of all the ids present in the messages, conversations, and groups stores in IndexedDB. This can take some time if a lot of data is in the database already, but it makes the subsequent deduplicated import very fast.
- Disappearing messages are now excluded when exporting
- Remove some TODOs in the tests
* Add setting to hide menu bar
Add a setting in the themes section to hide the menu bar.
The menu bar is not needed in everyday use and might not fit in with
signals dark theme. The hidden menu bar can still be shown by pressing
alt.
autoHideMenuBar is added to windowConfig and saved and restored on
startup to prevent flickering.
* Trigger events only when related setting changes
Set the event to trigger on instanciation of the view.
Notification settings no longer reapply the theme or menu bar settings.
* Save window state when closing the window
When not moving or resizing the window, no BrowserWindow config would be
created and saved.
If the 'empty' event is fired between the updateInbox() call and the
new InboxView() call afterwards, then the loading screen will never go
away. We fix that by immediately creating the InboxView but only adding
it to the DOM when the backing data is ready.
FREEBIE
All Whisper.events listeners are now defined and bound in background.js,
and we no longer need global methods for opening the inbox and
conversation views, as those are handled by AppView or internally by
InboxView.
// FREEBIE
Add buttons for switching between the linking flow and the standalone
registration flow. The button and standalone registration are only
availble in a development environment.
// FREEBIE
Introduce a top level view for navigating between the inbox and the
installer, enabling an in-window relink flow. Navigation is driven
through the openInbox and openInstaller global events.
