20:03 <popey> hi CarlosMazieri Letozaf_ :)
20:03 <CarlosMazieri> Hello
20:04 <Letozaf_> o/
20:04 <popey> Hows it going?
20:04 <Letozaf_> popey, fine and you ?
20:04 <CarlosMazieri> Fine,
20:04 <popey> Great!
20:05 <popey> I see bartosz landed a translation fix which I'll look to upload to the store
20:06 <popey> CarlosMazieri: did you get a reply to your samba mail from Arto?
20:06 <CarlosMazieri> Yes, I have replyed it back
20:07 <popey> ok.
20:08 <CarlosMazieri> I will start testing samba browsing, I have samba browsing, shares creation and shares discovery for places
20:08 <popey> Oh excellent.
20:08 <CarlosMazieri> Actions copy/cut/paste will take more time
20:08 <popey> Specifically cut/copy/paste over samba?
20:09 <CarlosMazieri> Yes
20:09 <CarlosMazieri> I will release browsing first and then start working on Actions
20:09 <popey> ok.
20:09 <popey> Makes sense.
20:10 <CarlosMazieri> I have decided to create a one level more of code to have a Qt Samba client library in place
20:11 <popey> What's the advantage of that?
20:11 <CarlosMazieri> As I could not find any Qt Samba Client library, making it available can be useful do someone else
20:12 <popey> Oh I see, yeah.
20:12 <popey> That could come in very handy actually. Nice!
20:13 <popey> So someone making a media player or something (like xbmc/kodi) in qml could use your library to browse samba shares to pick up media?
20:14 <CarlosMazieri> n this case we need to provide a copy to a temporary file and then play from that
20:14 <popey> ok.
20:14 <popey> Looking forward to it!
20:14 <CarlosMazieri> YES, I can provide a QML interface to download into a temporary file
20:15 <popey> Nice.
20:15 <CarlosMazieri> regarding the library: It will have equivalent Qt classes: QFile QDir QFileInfo for Samba as: SmbFile, SmbDir SmbItemInfo, etc
20:15 <popey> Ok.
20:16 <popey> I didn't have anything else specific to discuss today.
20:16 <popey> Letozaf_: Did you have anything you needed to discuss?
20:16 <Letozaf_> popey, did you guys see Martin's comment on this bug :
20:16 <Letozaf_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-filemanager-app/+bug/1406988
20:17 * popey looks
20:18 <popey> ok.
20:18 <popey> looks complicated!
20:19 <Letozaf_> popey, yeah :-P
20:20 <CarlosMazieri> maybe you can mount any file using -o loop into /media/$USER/SDcard
20:20 <popey> true.
20:21 <popey> so we could have a very small image of an sd card and mount it via loopback at that position?
20:21 <CarlosMazieri> I know it works for iso images, I do not know for other file types
20:22 <CarlosMazieri> YES, you are right, it is necessary to have a valid image, otherwise mount fails
20:22 <Letozaf_> we can create one with dd
20:23 <popey> yeah, we can dd off an existing sd card
20:23 <Letozaf_> popey, yes
20:23 <popey> Excellent. Well, ping if you need help with that.
20:23 <Letozaf_> popey, ok thanks
20:24 <popey> Ok, anything else?
20:24 <CarlosMazieri> Not from my side
20:25 <Letozaf_> no
20:25 <CarlosMazieri> by the way which is the latest RTM image?
20:26 <popey> for nexus 4?
20:26 <CarlosMazieri> yes
20:26 <popey> hmm, possibly 71
20:27 <popey> what are you on at the moment?
20:27 <CarlosMazieri> I used rtm-09 I think, but I do have the phone at the moment
20:28 <popey> right. yes, i think 71 is latest.
20:28 <CarlosMazieri> ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09 that is what I used
20:28 <popey> yes, that has the latest stuff
20:28 <CarlosMazieri> OK, thanks
20:30 <popey> Ok, anything else?
20:30 <Letozaf_> no
20:30 <popey> Awesome. Thanks guys. Let me know if you need any testing done (as I have a device with sd card slot)
20:30 <popey> and samba :)
20:30 <Letozaf_> ok
20:31 <CarlosMazieri> Thanks all
20:31 <Letozaf_> CarlosMazieri, thank to you too :)
20:31 <popey> Thanks!
