This upgrades us to no longer use the expected block height based
on current time, but instead uses the certainty we get from asking
various peers for their view of the world.
Now when we are certain that we're at the same tip as the rest of
the world, we can safely hide the 'up to date' text and make the UX
again a little bit simpler.
On Android an app can ship with (static) shortcuts. We use this feature
to allow the user to create a new icon which still starts Flowee Pay,
but it instantly opens the payment screen on the QR scanner.
The vast vast majority of wallets imported will not have a password. So
we de-prioritize that and make the user aware of the password field
should they check the contents without one.
This moves the 'wallet name' again to the top for all types as the most
observed mistake is that people type a wallet-name in the password field
and then are confused why there is nothing there. (and additionally
annoyed that the name of the wallet is auto-generated).
Other fixes includes spacing and alignment.
Keyboard focus on desktop.
The idea of using Flowee Pay to open a payment screen, or a sweep
screen, was so far married to the executable lifetime due to it being
passed as a command line argument.
This does not reflect reality, on neither desktop nor on mobile as
multi-tasking is possible and we should allow that.
As a result the new object "Intent" has been introduced with the
usecase specific properties. Setting those properties at any time
during the lifetime of the app now pushes the correct page to the
stack on mobile. Desktop is in need of more love in this department.
This allows a user to click on a link in a browser with the bch-wif
scheme and we'll handle that with a sweep page on startup.
To avoid this being just-another-special case we introduce a new
module (read: plugin) concept that is a Start-screen type.
The idea is that we can have a generic handling of this type in
various parts of the app without it being specifically about the
wif handling.
Notice that it doesn't matter if the user has the module enabled,
which just operates the display of the menu option to start it manually.
On the mobile client this allows the user to check per wallet which kind
of transactions to show or hide.
We allow selection of send/receive/both.
We allow the hiding of cash-fusion transactions.
As we get more modules it turns out that the 'send' tab as originally
envisioned isn't really representative of how we're evolving.
Various items end up being about doing 'stuff' in general. Including
creating a transaction to receive. Only in a very loose way can we
say those are 'send' items.
So, without actually any user-visible changes, this renames the
enum in the module manager and module-section to make it about the
more accurate "action menu".
This adds the backend code and the buttons that allow deletion of a
wallet.
Formerly you could archive a wallet and thus remove it from view,
at popular request an archived wallet now gets a button in the
wallets overview to delete the actual wallet completely.
This indeed also removes the files from disk, making it unrecoverable.
Additionally, an actually more complex feature, this allows an existing
wallet to have its history removed and start a re-scan to re-download
all transactions and build the balance.
This is useful for debugging or for recovering from buggy code we
probably had in older versions. (nobody is perfect all the time)
When we start up we use the last known price information and also fetch
new data.
When the user shows the price details popup before the fetch has
completed, they may be mislead into thinking that they are looking at
current data while they are not.
So this shows a bouncy while we are fetching.
The popup showing details of a certain list-item had the down-side that
the list item we selected was made darker with the rest of the screen,
making it harder to understand the whole info.
This change repeats the clicked item inside the popup in a way that
makes it immediately clear which transaction we are showing details of.
This applies the knowledge learned from mobile to desktop too.
Also set the initially selected import year to 2023 and avoid
long imports for most people.
We use the same header-heights lookup table to show the actual month to
the user on resolve.
The resolve is the fetch of first-use of an address or seed, this
returns a blockheight from elecrum servers only and that isn't very
user-friendly. As such this now fills the comboboxes with the proper
month/year for better understanding.
This makes the language simpler and makes clear that the password field
is related to the import. Second, the name-field is now moved closer to
the big 'start' button and has a more obvious title.
This is the import page, it will certainly be possible for a
user to import a wallet that is older than the headers on their
device. In that case using the headers to resolve the height can't
work.
Circular dependency: Need headers to know which headers to download...
So, we hardcode the historical blockheights here for each month that
the user can select.
Notice that the dates are the first of each month, at the UTC-16
time-line.
The ImportWalletPage now loads the QML provided by the module,
exposed via the metadata of modules.
The module gets just a blockheight property and then will do
"its thing".
This will either instantly close when there is nothing to do
and continue instantly to the actual import.
Or the module will check the server, initiate download and when
all is setup and done THEN close the popup and continue with
the actual import.
