We should work towards a pattern where we take StringView as function
arguments, and store String as member, to push the String construction
to the last possible moment.
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
fixed it so that directories don't get double-opened (first when they are
opened, and second when the selection changes to match in the file tree view)
Now you can hook activation via GAbstractView::on_activation.
The design still isn't quite right, we should eventually move the selection
away from the model somehow.
Replace the custom DirectoryView widget with a GTableView subclass.
This was pleasantly straightforward and it's so cool seeing the huge
increase in app quality from GTableView. :^)
My needs are really quite simple, so I'm just going to add what I need
as I go along. The first thing I needed was a simple box layout with
widgets being able to say whether they prefer fixed or fill for both
their vertical and horizontal sizes.
I also made a simple GStatusBar so FileManager can show how many bytes
worth of files are in the current directory.
