20:01 <popey> How are you? Hows things?
20:02 <popey> mhall119: you about?
20:02 <ajalkane> Good... Content-Hub support is done and waiting for merge approval
20:02 <popey> oh sweet
20:02 <ajalkane> I'm doing reviews for Carlos' changes when I have time
20:02 <popey> At the sprint in Malta last week mhall119 was having lots of conversations with kenvandine about file manager and content hub
20:03 <popey> I'm not sure how those conversations ended up, hence pinging him.
20:03 <popey> Yeah, I noticed you working on his merges, great work, thank you!
20:03 <ajalkane> ok good... Currently only importing Pictures is supported
20:07 <popey> Ok. Seems mhall119 and kenvandine aren't around.
20:07 <popey> We're planning on pushing all the core apps to the store this week
20:07 <popey> As they have all had a lot of updates.
20:08 <ajalkane> Okay nice. Hopefully someone has time to review the Content-Hub changes.
20:08 <ajalkane> I'm pretty ending for the summer time my Ubuntu Touch development as I'm moving apartment and all of that takes a lot of my time
20:09 <ajalkane> * pretty much
20:09 <popey> Ok, understood.
20:09 <popey> When is that?
20:09 <popey> i need to look more into bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-filemanager-app/+bug/1316677
20:10 <popey> it's a blocker for us to release as the app white screens now and then
20:10 <ajalkane> I've been hammered with the logistics for past week and half, and packing begins tomorrow. But I will try and do the reviews on Carlos' merge requests anyway
20:10 <popey> I will bisect and find the image where it broke
20:10 <popey> thank you!
20:11 <ajalkane> I haven't unfortunately had time to look at all into autopilot tests even as I know it's important so I have no idea about that bug
20:15 <popey> ok.
20:15 <popey> No worries, I dont' think its an ap issue
20:16 <mhall119> I'm here now
20:16 <popey> I'm sure it's sdk/toolkit problem which I'll work with them on
20:16 <popey> hey mhall119
20:17 <mhall119> Did you have a question for me
20:17 <popey> mhall119: was there a conclusion to your file manager conversation with kenvandine ?
20:18 <mhall119> yrs, we can add a file picker to file manager
20:19 <ajalkane> can someone explain to me what that means?
20:19 <mhall119> Ken might add a new content type for files
20:20 <ajalkane> Does this still mean FileManager is a Content-Hub exporter? But with generic "any file" content?
20:20 <mhall119> ajalkane: it means we can let other apps request access to files via content hub
20:20 <mhall119> if we add a content hub exporter to file manager
20:21 <mhall119> Yrs, what you said
20:21 <ajalkane> I have merge requests for a "Picture" exporter. It'll be trivial to change.
20:21 <mhall119> Check with kenvandine on what content type to use
20:21 <ajalkane> Though I bet it's a bit raw around the edges, I think some things in FileManager have to be disabled/hidden when it's started in file picker mode.
20:22 <mhall119> I think he was going to add a new one
20:22 <ajalkane> I may not have time to do much anymore for the summer. So I might have to delay or have someone else polish the raw edges.
20:22 <popey> mhall119: So we may need to recruit more people to help out with FM
20:23 <ajalkane> But let's see if the current changes pass the review and I'll see then if I have time for some tweaking
20:23 <mhall119> If you have working code, finding someone to help polish it would be easier
20:23 <ajalkane> The code works, at least on my dev environment and I have successfully tested it against ken's hub-importer
20:24 <mhall119> great!
20:27 <popey> OK.
20:27 <popey> ajalkane: when are you offline and how long for?
20:29 <ajalkane> I'm not per-se offline at all, as I'm online from work at least. But all the stuff with moving and getting settled with family in the new appartment means I have little or no extra free time. I expect that to last until august.
20:29 <ajalkane> So I probably have no trouble checking and answering e-mails, doing perhaps some code reviews, but actual development time is probably going to be hard.
20:30 <popey> ajalkane: ok.
20:30 <popey> Understood.
20:30 <popey> Thanks a lot for letting us know ahead of time, thats appreciated!
20:31 <mhall119> indeed
20:31 <ajalkane> Of course... I do understand Ubuntu Touch has some important milestones ahead
20:31 <popey> I think the content-hub integration is really our primary goal for FM right now
20:32 <ajalkane> That's also why it was really important for me too to get it to working state before I have to take a pause. So I'm really glad after all the troubles I had it seems to work now
20:32 <popey> yeah!
20:35 <popey> Ok, so anything else we need to discuss?
20:36 <ajalkane> I don't think so. I wish you all good summer if we don't see before that (though I expect I can mostly make meetings)
20:37 <ajalkane> Keep on doing the great work on making Ubuntu Touch a contender, I hope it works out :)
20:37 <mhall119> thanks for all the work you've done so far ajalkane
20:38 <ajalkane> My pleasure... I'm a sucker for liking programming!
20:38 <mhall119> popey: what do we need to do to get that content-hub branch merged? is there someone else on the team to review it?
20:39 <popey> we could ask kenvandine nicely
20:39 <mhall119> he may have less time than ajalkane these days
20:39 <popey> ok.
20:39 <mhall119> is there anyone else active on file manager?
20:39 <popey> mhall119: maybe you and I should have a chat on thursday when I'm back at work and we can make a plan for all the core apps?
20:40 <popey> yes, carlos
20:40 <ajalkane> My condolences to kenvandine
20:40 <mhall119> ok, let's chat on thursday then
20:40 <popey> hah
20:40 * kenvandine waves
20:40 <mhall119> ajalkane: he's loving it, no matter what he sayd
20:40 <popey> Run!
20:40 <kenvandine> if i haven't reviewed it again in a couple days, harass me again :)
20:41 <mhall119> thanks kenvandine
20:41 <kenvandine> i'm recovering from the sprint, stack is pretty deep atm
20:41 <popey> Awesome, thanks.
20:42 <ajalkane> Cool. There's two branches. The latter is a nicer UI for it.
20:42 <ajalkane> (with multi-selection)
20:44 <mhall119> oh wow, haven't loaded filemanager on my desktop in a while, this looks fantastic
20:44 <popey> yeah, i loaded it on the nexus 10
20:44 <popey> its pretty amazing as a converged app
20:45 <ajalkane> That's all Michael's great work. He's done amazing job on that.
20:45 <ajalkane> But he's been busy for last months, hopefully summer frees him up again :)
20:46 <popey> He has a job now!
20:46 <ajalkane> Argh!
20:46 <popey> We need to get him fired! ☻
20:46 <mhall119> lol
20:46 <mhall119> that's how we treat community :-P
20:46 <popey> For the logbot, that was a joke.
20:46 <ajalkane> Yeah  :). And if he has a girlfriend, get them separated. Someone make a bug about this
20:46 <popey> heh
20:47 <ajalkane> logbot, I might have joked about that too
20:47 <ajalkane> alright, I have to go, cya later
20:48 * popey hugs ajalkane after he's gone
