SDK changes? 20:17 there was a stack of stuff that blew up today, i believe related to the toolkit, yes 20:17 ajalkane, yep, the SDK took away the caller property in ToolbarButton, so now when opening popovers, we'll need to manually reference the buttons 20:19 Ah... Not a huge problem for File Manager's usecase if I remember correctly 20:20 ajalkane, all of the toobar buttons open popovers except the Settings one, so the app is practically useless until that gets fixed 20:22 I had nothing else to raise this week. 20:22 Any questions / issues aside from above? 20:23 I've got a couple bugs that I'd like all of your input on before I triage them 20:23 iBelieve: I mean, if I remember correctly, in File Manager we practically know the "caller" so replacing it with QML id is easy 20:23 ajalkane, oh, right. It is very easy to fix, I just haven't add time yet 20:23 So, LP #1218089 - what are your thoughts on that? Would that be good to implement? 20:24 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-filemanager-app/+bug/1218089 20:24 iBelieve: right on. I can probably put some work on it too hopefully if you don't have time before me 20:24 iBelieve: I think that's non-trivial to implement cleanly so I wouldn't do it right now 20:25 ajalkane, I was thinking the same thing too. I was just wondering how we should triage it 20:25 Where would deleted files go? 20:26 popey, Probably to Trash, as on the desktop 20:26 agreed 20:26 Low priority or wishlist perhaps? 20:26 wherever Nautilus puts them 20:26 I'm thinking Low since it's a useability problem and not just a feature request 20:26 what about the sandboxing? Is trash available etc? 20:27 Look forward to the lengthy "Trash" vs "Rubbish bin" conversation which will result 20:27 popey, :) 20:27 ajalkane, I think I read that File Manager might not be sandboxed due to how it works. 20:27 /home/alan/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/trash:-a1c04b83.log 20:27 that looks horrid 20:28 popey, what is that? 20:28 hmm, i thought that was where trash went 20:28 but it's metadata only 20:28 iBelieve: ok, I haven't heard any details how it's going to be done 20:29 I would say undo is low/wishlist 20:29 and not something we need for 1.0 20:29 popey, I think it is some special file format to ~/.local/share/Trash 20:29 ah yes 20:30 popey, plus we'd implement something like "trash:/" and title it "Trash". I think that is the way dolphin works 20:30 yes, thats what nautilus does too 20:30 thats quite a bit to implement 20:31 popey, so on to my next bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-filemanager-app/+bug/1214568 20:31 so is that something the SDK should implement? 20:31 Smells like SDK support 20:31 yeah 20:31 wouldn't want to have to code that into every app 20:32 Okay, so I'll switch that to target the UI Toolkit 20:33 At least as far as I know we don't have control in QML over the window size (last I checked the documentation) 20:33 ajalkane, we can just remember width and height, but then Maximized doesn't work 20:34 for now, we're focussed on phone, so this isn't an immediate problem 20:34 iBelieve: see the mail from Carlos about meeting times? 20:34 Is 2 hours earlier okay for you? 20:35 popey, I saw it, and accidentally did Reply to Sender instead of Reply to All :( 20:35 hehe 20:35 popey, two hours earlier is fine with me 20:35 awesome! 20:35 \o/ Consensus! 20:35 Great 20:36 i love it when a plan comes together 20:36 Ok, anything else? 20:36 well... 20:36 there's a web-page for these irc meetings 20:37 I mean backlog 20:37 ah yes, I need to update that 20:37 But it doesn't seem to update 20:37 indeed, it's manual ☹ 20:37 It'd be nice for the days when one can't make 20:37 * it 20:37 I'll update it in the morning with some grep skills 20:37 thanks for the reminder 20:38 Ok cool. Setup a cronjob while at it :P 20:38 popey, ajalkane also, I have a new email address that you guys can contact me at. It's the top one on my Launchpad profile 20:38 https://launchpad.net/~mdspencer 20:38 kk 20:38 * popey checked to make sure it wasn't spencers1993@redhat.com 20:39 * iBelieve smiles 20:39 Ok, lets wrap up, and we'll see you all next week, for hacking! 20:39 thanks guys! 20:39 #endmeeting
