18:02 <popey> how are you?
18:03 <CarlosMazieri> I am fine, thank you
18:04 <popey> Super!
18:04 <popey> I wondered if you'd had more thoughts on  bug 1366217
18:04 <popey> as we now have url-dispatcher which landed and file:// urls no longer work..
18:04 <CarlosMazieri> Is it related to opening files ?
18:04 <popey> yes
18:05 <CarlosMazieri> well, I have not done anything yet,
18:05 <CarlosMazieri> I think I will need a device to test that, since it should differ from desktop
18:06 <popey> I'll chase up your device with Michelle in the morning.
18:06 <popey> I agree. on desktop xdg-open should be used, right?
18:06 <CarlosMazieri> Yes I think so, in fact my solution needs to work on both
18:08 <CarlosMazieri> I will do some coding next Weekend
18:08 <popey> Ok, I'll try to ensure you have a device before then.
18:08 <popey> Sorry it's taking a while.
18:09 <CarlosMazieri> In fact she contacted me to send me the money,
18:09 <popey> oh, i thought we were sending you a device
18:09 <popey> I guess it's easier for you to get one locally?
18:09 <CarlosMazieri> she tried but my back account information was not good,  so I sent to her more information
18:09 <popey> I didnt realise.
18:10 <CarlosMazieri> Yes, it is becase lot of taxes
18:10 <popey> ahhh
18:11 <CarlosMazieri> That is fine. No problem, I can start coding something.
18:11 <popey> We've had someone who wants to work on the UI, to move the buttons to the top.
18:11 <popey> akiva - I asked them to provide mockups
18:11 <popey> because this is a significant change and I don't think we want to do it lightly.
18:12 <popey> It needs some careful thought about button and option placement
18:12 <CarlosMazieri> OK, also there was an idea about changing navigation to single/multi selection
18:13 <popey> oh?
18:14 <CarlosMazieri> I talked to Arto about it, now it is possible to copy/remove/cut just one single item, right?
18:15 <popey> oh i see, yes.
18:15 <CarlosMazieri> the plugin provides selection and supports operations over selections.
18:15 <popey> That would be very welcome.
18:16 <CarlosMazieri> It needs someone to implement the UI part
18:16 <popey> ok, we have an sdk component for that.
18:16 <popey> I'll speak to akiva and see if he's interested in doing that instead of the full UI change to the toolbar.
18:18 <CarlosMazieri> Another improvement in the UI is to put TRASH in place, already available in the plugin
18:18 <popey> Ok, I'll add that to the list
18:18 <CarlosMazieri> It also requires some changes in the way the UI handles paths,  making paths in the UI should be avoided
18:19 <popey> Ok. understood.
18:20 <CarlosMazieri> As you find someone, ask him to take a look on the simpleui which is a C++ view avaiable for testing purposes
18:20 <popey> noted
18:20 <popey> Anything else?
18:20 <CarlosMazieri> No, That is all.
18:20 <popey> Excellent. So I'll speak to msm about the phone money transfer, and akiva about the ui changes.
18:21 <popey> You'll take a look at the file open issue.
18:21 <popey> By the way.. I gave a talk at a conference at the weekend. The attendees were geeks (XDA Developer people) and they were very pleased to see the phone has a file manager ☻
18:22 <CarlosMazieri> Nice,
18:22 <popey> Ok. Shall we wrap up?
18:23 <CarlosMazieri> Yes, we can.
18:23 <popey> Great, thanks CarlosMazieri !
