* logging: homogenize levelsRobin Jarry2022-12-021-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main goal is to ensure that by default, the log file (if configured) does not grow out of proportions. Most of the logging messages in aerc are actually for debugging and/or trace purposes. Define clear rules for logging levels. Enforce these rules everywhere. After this patch, here is what the log file looks like after starting up with a single account: INFO 2022/11/24 20:26:16.147164 aerc.go:176: Starting up version 0.13.0-100-g683981479c60 (go1.18.7 amd64 linux) INFO 2022/11/24 20:26:17.546448 account.go:254: [work] connected.

* threadbuilder: sort siblings by sort criteriaKoni Marti2022-11-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sort the client-side thread siblings according to the sort criteria. Activate this option by setting "sort-thread-siblings" to true in the ui section of aerc.conf. "sort-thread-siblings" is false by default and the siblings will be sorted based on their uid number. Note that this options will only work with client-side threading and when the backend supports sorting. Also, it comes with a slight performance penalty.

* threads: debounce client-side thread buildingKoni Marti2022-07-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debounce client-side thread building in the message store. Debouncing is useful when multiple messages are loaded, i.e. when scrolling with PgUp/PgDown. Without the debouncing, all client-side threads will be built everytime the message store is updated which creates a noticable lag in the message list ui when client-side threading is activated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This prevents dereferencing nil when updating RUE counts.

* threading: add force-client-threads optionTim Culverhouse2022-07-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a config option to force the use of client side threads. This option will override a servers Thread capability, and only build threads on the client. It can be enabled contextually. For example: [ui] threading-enabled = true [ui:folder~^Archive] force-client-threads = true This config would enable threads for all views, and use client threads for folders that start with Archive. This can be advantageous if, for example, the folder is very large and the server has a slow response due to building threads for the entire mailbox Signed-off-by: Tim Culverhouse <tim@timculverhouse.com> Acked-by: Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc>

* perf: reduce calls to GetUiConfigTim Culverhouse2022-07-031-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GetUiConfig was being called many times, and came up as a high CPU user in a cpuprofile. Every call would merge a UIConfig, which is a costly operation. Ideally, we would only need to have a config for every account X every directory. We also have a context for subjects. This patch stores all FOLDER and ACCOUNT level configs and reuses those merged objects. The SUBJECT contexts are not stored in favor of merging on-the-go, with a TODO comment to deprecate that feature and implement a better per-message styling option. I suspect this feature is not used very much. Before applying this patch with my setup, GetUiConfig is called 1159 times just to open aerc. After applying, this is reduced to 37.

* dirlist: update RUE counts for imap/maildir on move|copy|delete|archiveTim Culverhouse2022-06-071-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When moving/copying/deleting/archiving a message in imap, the RUE counts displayed in the dirlist would not update properly. Maildir has (had) an implementation that recounts the entire directory and updates the DirectoryInfo after one of these actions. This patch implements a more efficient method of updating, and also enables it to apply to IMAP without any additional requests. Upon completion of the action, the counts are manually updated with the count of messages in the action and recent and/or unseen states of those messages. This is more efficient for maildir, because we aren't counting everything in the store. For IMAP, we get the updates for free because we are only performing the update after confirmation from the server that the action has happened.

Call the sort command without arguments to restore the default sort order. The current behavior is that the default sort order is restored as soon as the folder reloads.

* Add support for :rmdirARaspiK2020-08-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `:rmdir` command removes the current directory (`-f` is required if the directory is not empty). This is not supported on the notmuch backend. An issue with the maildir backend is that some sync programs (e.g. offlineimap) may recover the directory after it is deleted. They need to specifically be configured to accept deletions, or special commands need to be executed (e.g. `offlineimap --delete-folder`) to properly delete folders. A danger of using this on the IMAP backend is that it is possible for a new message to be added to the directory and for aerc to not show it immediately (due to a slow connection) - using `:rmdir` at this moment (with `-f` if the directory already contains messages) would delete the directory and the new message that just arrived (and all other contents). This is documented in aerc(1) so that users are aware of possible risks.
