There are now two device colours instead of one. Even though they’re both set to the same style for the default colour set, LS_COLORS allows the two to look different, so exa has to support it too.
It’s probably a good idea to support it anyway.
This commit adds many traits, all named ‘Colours’, to the code. Each one asks for a colour needed to render a cell: the number of links asks for colours for the number and the multi-link-file special case; the file size asks for number, unit, punctuation, and device ID colours, or it can do a scale with its own colours, however it wants.
This is a step towards LS_COLORS compatibility, believe it or not. If a text cell in a column doesn’t depend on Colours to render itself, then the source of the colours is open-ended.
I am glad to have not needed any test changes here.
The views have been renamed to be the Optionses of their module; now the options for the Table — Columns — has followed suit.
This works out, because the table module depended on everything in the columns module. It opens the door for other only-table-specific things to be included.
The casualty was that by making it non-Clone and non-PartialEq, a bunch of other #[derive]-d types had to have their derivions removed too.
All four view types — lines, grid, details, and grid-details — held their own colours and classify flags.
This didn’t make any sense for the grid-details view, which had to pick which one to use: the values were in there twice.
It also gave the Table in the details view access to more information than it really should have had.
Now, those two flags are returned separately from the view “mode”, which is the new term for one of those four things.
Unlike the others, setuid/setgid/sticky get merged with user/group/other execute in the rendered Permissions cell. So there had to be a bit of code change done to make sure that none of the bits clashed.
The problem here was that we were using `metadata.permissions().mode()`, which is capped at 0o777, rather than `metadata.mode()`, which exposes every bit. With this change, we can access the higher-order permission bits, and put them in the Permissions struct.
On the plus side, this removes some imports from details, and makes the file shorter. On the minus side, the ‘render timestamp’ function has a hell of a signature.
The three pieces of information for the leftmost details view column (file type, permissions, and whether xattrs are present) used to be gathered from separate sources and passed around separately before being displayed at the end. Now, file type and permissions are put into a struct, along with the xattrs boolean that’s still getting passed around all over the place but not quite as much.
This was all done because I wanted to be able to test permissions rendering, without having file type and xattrs dragged into the same function.
