This commit removes the threadpool in `main.rs` that stats each command-line argument separately, and replaces it with a *scoped* threadpool in `options/details.rs` that builds the table in parallel! Running this on my machine halves the execution time when tree-ing my entire home directory (which isn't exactly a common occurrence, but it's the only way to give exa a large running time)
The statting will be added back in parallel at a later stage. This was facilitated by the previous changes to recursion that made it easier to deal with.
There's a lot of large sweeping architectural changes. Here's a smattering of them:
- In `main.rs`, the files are now passed around as vectors of files rather than array slices of files. This is because `File`s aren't `Clone`, and the `Vec` is necessary to give away ownership of the files at the appropriate point.
- In the details view, files are now sorted *all* the time, rather than obeying the command-line order. As they're run in parallel, they have no guaranteed order anyway, so we *have* to sort them again. (I'm not sure if this should be the intended behaviour or not!) This means that the `Details` struct has to have the filter *all* the time, not only while recursing, so it's been moved out of the `recurse` field.
- We use `scoped_threadpool` over `threadpool`, a recent addition. It's only safely used on Nightly, which we're using anyway, so that's OK!
- Removed a bunch of out-of-date comments.
This also fixes#77, mainly by accident :)
This does a similar thing that we did with the xattrs, except with the nested files: it removes the 'this' field on File, and replaces it with a method (to_dir) that has the same effect.
This means we get to remove a bunch of 'recurse' fields and parameters that really had no business being there! Now the table doesn't need to know whether it's going to need to list files recursively or not.
When tree mode is active, this will print out errors as another form of child node in the tree, instead of in one big block before any output.
The 'this' field now holds the io::Result of the readdir call, rather than only a *successful* result.
This is part of work to make the flow of files more iterator-able, rather than going in and out of vectors. Here, a Dir returns an iterator of files, rather than a pre-filled vector.
For now, this removes the ability for error messages to be displayed. Will be added in later though!
This is very slow (see #28) at the moment, so there's an option to switch off repo discovery. However, they were still always being queried. Now, if there's no Git option in the flags, it won't try to discover a repo.
These replace `init()` and `tail()` which are deprecated in favour of these.
In fact, it's a good thing they're deprecated, because part of the path_prefix code involved working around a call to init() that would panic otherwise - doing the same check with an `Option` is much more ergonomic.
This commit adds --grid, which, when used with --long, will split the details into multiple columns. Currently this is just 2 columns, but in the future it will be based on the width of the terminal.
In order to do this, I had to do two things:
1. Add a `links` parameter to the filename function, which disables the printing of the arrow and link target in the details view. When this is active, the columns get way too large, and it becomes not worth it.
2. Change the `print_table` function from actually printing the table to stdout to returning a list of `Cells` based on the table. This list then gets its width measured to calculate the width of the resulting table.
Colours are now disabled when output is not to a terminal. Fixes#53!
This required some internal restructuring - colours are now in their own object that gets passed around everywhere it's needed.
Exa now uses the new IO, Path, and Filesystem libraries that have been out for a while now.
Unfortunately, the new libraries don't *entirely* cover the range of the old libraries just yet: in particular, to become more cross-platform, the data in `UnstableFileStat` isn't available in the Unix `MetadataExt` yet. Much of this is contained in rust-lang/rfcs#1044 (which is due to be implemented in rust-lang/rust#14711), but it's not *entirely* there yet.
As such, this commits a serious loss of functionality: no symlink viewing, no hard links or blocks, or users or groups. Also, some of the code could now be optimised. I just wanted to commit this to sort out most of the 'teething problems' of having a different path system in advance.
Here's an example problem that took ages to fix for you, just because you read this far: when I first got exa to compile, it worked mostly fine, except calling `exa` by itself didn't list the current directory. I traced where the command-line options were being generated, to where files and directories were sorted, to where the threads were spawned... and the problem turned out to be that it was using the full path as the file name, rather than just the last component, and these paths happened to begin with `.`, so it thought they were dotfiles.
This module provides feature-specific implementations, and also dummy implementations for when they aren't supported by the system or OS.
Doing it this way limits all the #[cfg(feature)] annotations, as we can now just include the module or not.
This has been mostly done with changes in the datetime crate's suddenly
supporting locales.
It's still important that the user's locale is touched only once and
cached from that point on, so a struct in output::details has been made
public, along with that module. This will change later as that object
gains more and more uses thoughout the codes.
Use the `locale` crate as a dependency to read in the set
thousands-separator character, and pass this to the file size column,
which uses it to add the separators in.
en_GB uses ","
fr_FR uses "" and just displays the numbers in one go.
Using the datetime crate, add an extra column to the --long view that
prints out the modified, accessed, or created timestamp for each file.
Also, let the user pick which one they want to see based on the --time
command-line option.
