The upstream nemo plugin project has splitted the plugins into more manageable pieces, which will help us 20:17:04 The filemanager plugin that we depend on is now in https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-folderlistmodel/tree 20:17:11 bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-filemanager-app/+bugs 20:17:22 oh excellent! 20:17:25 Also they have merged all the changes I've submitted 20:17:32 even better 20:17:37 The bad news of course it that Timo's repo must be updated 20:18:07 hm 20:18:14 popey: can we setup an automatic sync between that git repo and a bzr branch under this project? 20:18:16 do we need it to be owned by timo? 20:18:28 thats what I'm thinking 20:19:04 I'll speak to the necessary people to make that happen 20:19:33 During this week I have not had time to do anything else except work on the upstream merging, and updating Carlos's branch so that it has all the changes from upstream and my branch so that it works with the QML UI 20:19:36 #action popey get automated sync between https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-folderlistmodel/tree and bzr in filemanager app friendly place on lp 20:19:36 * meetingology popey get automated sync between https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-folderlistmodel/tree and bzr in filemanager app friendly place on lp 20:19:55 ajalkane: the upstream merging is a big piece 20:20:27 yeah, and it's a valuable piece of work 20:21:11 Upstream now has everything that is required by the current UI. But Carlos's improvements are not there yet, but neither is the UI yet using any features from that branch that doesn't work with upstream plugin. 20:22:33 ok 20:22:36 ajalkane: was upstream receptive and happy to get these contributions? 20:22:55 so on the blueprint... 20:22:57 [mhall119] Check with Mirv about automating new builds of the Nemo plugin: TODO 20:23:01 I'll take that 20:23:11 yeah, it's easy now :P 20:23:24 hah 20:23:31 I'd like to issue a forewarning. I have mostly time to work on this during this month, and the next month. In my estimation it's enough to do the "single item" operations in blueprints, but multi-selection might not be doable. So I recommend trying to get more people involved to keep the project going - depending on the what the goals are for filemanager 20:24:00 I appreciate you letting us know up front ajalkane, it's very helpful 20:24:12 mhall119: they were happy to accept the changes, some minor modifications were needed, but it was in good open source collaboration. 20:24:28 They seem to be pretty busy though, so it took quite a while for some of the changes. 20:25:03 ajalkane: that's fantastic, you and Carlos both are doing an excellent job on this 20:25:09 +1 20:26:13 mhall119: You're reviewer in one of my changes. If you're too busy I can review it myself :) 20:27:29 ajalkane: which one? 20:27:44 CarlosMazieri: I think we might need in the plugin some way to get the amount of items in clipboard for QML UI. Otherwise it's hard to do UI with "Paste" visible only when there's something copied there 20:28:32 mhall119: this one: https://code.launchpad.net/~ajalkane/ubuntu-filemanager-app/filedetails/+merge/156407 20:28:38 the progress signal has (current item , total items, percentage) 20:28:50 hey CarlosMazieri 20:28:58 hey 20:29:16 ajalkane: is the progress signal enough ? 20:29:25 CarlosMazieri: I don't mean progress. But when user copies something to clipboard, the UI needs to know there's for example "5 items" in the clipboard ready for pasting. So that it can show the "Paste" button 20:29:37 ajalkane: I'll review it before I end work today 20:29:39 At least that's my initial thought 20:29:45 mhall119: thanks 20:29:48 np 20:30:07 OK, we do not have but we can put in place 20:30:40 CarlosMazieri: Good. Because it seems to me having a "Paste" button there without any items to paste would be confusing. 20:30:40 I understand that you want to know how many items URLs are in the clipboard, right? 20:30:59 CarlosMazieri: Yes exactly. I think preferably a property instead of Q_INVOKABLE 20:32:20 OK, put that please in the blueprint to me 20:32:27 Sure 20:35:47 ok.. 20:36:29 anything else we need to do for you guys before we wrap up? 20:36:39 No from my side 20:37:10 I think I've unloaded everything already 20:37:40 #action mhall119 find someone to find an additional developer given ajalkane's availability going forward 20:37:40 * meetingology mhall119 find someone to find an additional developer given ajalkane's availability going forward 20:37:50 great, thanks guys! 20:37:54 #endmeeting
