Ability to hide applications as a user

[juliushaertl]

Leftover from contexts work.

@blizzz Could you document the current logic on what is possible for hiding the applications from the backend side in here so we can have a clear description on what we need to do on the frontend?

[blizzz]

So on the backend side we have things in place, but disabled. To turn it on, we simply need:

• feat(Contexts): enable nav bar display logic #1193

On the frontend side we need

• a control for the context owner to set the default display mode.
• a control per context for a user to set a personal overwrite (e.g. hide or enable)

For the record, we have three modes. The constants are define in Application:

	public const NAV_ENTRY_MODE_HIDDEN = 0;
	public const NAV_ENTRY_MODE_RECIPIENTS = 1;
	public const NAV_ENTRY_MODE_ALL = 2;

• NAV_ENTRY_MODE_HIDDEN - no nav bar entry
• NAV_ENTRY_MODE_RECIPIENTS - nav bar entry for share recipients, but not the owner
• NAV_ENTRY_MODE_ALL - nav bar entry for everybody

Setting the Nav bar entry is possible via following routes:

• api1#updateShareDisplayMode
• share#updateDisplayMode

as well as when creating a share, via optional displayMode mode parameter. Default is hidden!

UPDATE 2024-07-26

For we have started to show applications by default, while the nominal default would be to hide them, we also shall change the default to show all and have a repair step to update the existing applications. So, users will not be confused while their applications are not there anymore, also it may be a better, more discoverable setting.

• change default from NAV_ENTRY_MODE_HIDDEN to NAV_ENTRY_MODE_ALL – Make Applications visible by default in the app navigation bar #1250
• add repair step to change all existing settings in the database from NAV_ENTRY_MODE_HIDDEN to NAV_ENTRY_MODE_ALL – Make Applications visible by default in the app navigation bar #1250

@enjeck As disscussed last week, something to look into after the user/group picker is ready :)

Added two tasks to #1177 (comment)

Setting the Nav bar entry is possible via following routes:

• api1#updateShareDisplayMode
• share#updateDisplayMode

So does this mean the owner of the Application can't hide/unhide for themselves? Since it's not a share? @blizzz

Oh, I see that's what NAV_ENTRY_MODE_RECIPIENTS is for.
