I will take a look after the meeting. 15:14 I will speak to product manager and see if we have any feedback from bq about desired features. 15:15 ok 15:16 in order to "Get Things DoneTM", I may need some help from other guys 15:17 Right. 15:17 * sverzegnassi is feeling alone 15:18 What's the thing you need help with most? 15:19 Coding / reviews / design 15:19 "Everything" ? 15:19 :) 15:20 Coding some specific parts 15:20 (and reviews, of course) 15:20 Ok, can you hilight those in the doc? 15:20 I can put a call out for help. 15:21 no problem, thanks 15:21 I haven't put a call for help out for a while, so i am due to do one! 15:22 I'll highlight in the document in the following hours, as I get home 15:22 Ok, great. 15:22 I think once people are able to buy devices which have Ubuntu pre-installed they may be more motivated to get involved 15:22 It's a lot easier with a device! 15:23 I'm away over the weekend at FOSDEM, but would love to test out the new build when you get a chance to make a click. 15:24 I hope to include the new plugin in the trunk tomorrow 15:24 ok, great. I'll keep an eye out for it. 15:24 Thanks. 15:24 Anything else? 15:24 For the other major stuff (file_path, document history) probably the next week 15:25 ok. 15:25 doc history will be awesome. 15:25 I love the idea of having a usable main screen. 15:25 it would give more sense to having the empty state 15:25 yeah 15:26 anyway, before calling for other people, it may be useful to briefly discuss if we should implement some stuff from that list 15:27 +1 15:27 I'll review that and then we can decide where to focus 15:27 be good to have maybe a smaller task or two for a new developer 15:27 yeah, +1 15:28 Black bg in ImageView? 15:28 yeah, good one. 15:28 Good! 15:29 Meta data in imageview is not a priority. So, I'd postpone it 15:30 ok 15:31 Relevant stuff I'd like to have for the insiders day, are syntax highlighter and line counter in TextView 15:32 I had a working branch for the line counter, but it was not perfectly aligned with text lines (2px every 150 lines...) 15:32 Ok. 15:34 Things related to PDF are mine. I've already took a look for them during the xmas holidays, so they could be easily implemented by me 15:35 For the doc history I may need an help. 15:35 I'm not sure if I have much time for doing it 15:36 ok. I'll see if I can find people to help. 15:36 We should use LocalDatabase, since U1DB doesn't work well with SortFilterListModel 15:37 Yeah, I don't see value in using U1DB there. 15:37 And we'd need some stuff to check if a file still exist, but I can add a singleton in the File plugin, as I updated it (tomorrow) 15:37 what would you do if the file doesn't exist? remove from the list? or have an icon which indicates the file is gone/moved? 15:38 Show a popup that file doesn't exist and remove it from the list 15:38 ok. 15:39 if you had 50 files in the list and removed the SD card (or folder) then all 50 disappear. Will need to consider that. 15:39 We don't want 50 popups, or one popup with a list of 50 documents in it. 15:39 Uh, right 15:40 [Documents cannot be found on device, they will be removed from list [ok] ] 15:40 maybe :) 15:40 just a thought 15:40 Yes, good solution 15:41 but we should check if a file exists in the background 15:41 yeah, that could take a while. 15:41 Maybe for the moment it would be simplier to show a wwarning icon 15:42 +1 15:44 Details page may need more time than we have. I'd like to show specific informations, related to the type of the file (pdf, image, text) 15:44 If someone would like to work on it, I'd be happy, but it's a low priority task 15:44 maybe just an icon and the filename. 15:44 the icon representing the type 15:44 sorted in date order. 15:45 Yes, i've already checked in the suru iconset 15:45 there are the icons we need 15:45 ok. awesome. 15:45 implementing covers would require much time 15:45 yeah. 15:47 A creativity tasks, just because I'm not happy with plugin naming, 15:47 com.ubuntu.popplerqmlplugin doesn't sound cool. Should we rename it? 15:47 does anyone see it? 15:48 me :) 15:48 heh 15:48 then name it whatever you like :) 15:48 ok 15:49 where can we push those tasks? 15:49 We keep the document shared on GDrive, or open a report on Launchpad 15:49 using some tag? 15:49 we could use whatever tool you prefer. We could use a blueprint, or trello for example 15:50 or bug reports 15:50 I don't know if I have a trello account 15:50 they're free 15:50 I think bug reports would be ok, it would be a lot easier for new developers 15:50 I don't mind whatever tool you prefer. 15:50 ok. 15:50 So I'll go through the doc and create some bug reports and prioritise them 15:51 ok, thanks 15:52 ok, anything else? 15:52 no, other things on the list are not priority at this moment. they can be discuss next week 15:53 ok. excellent. 15:53 thank you! have a good weekend! 15:53 you too! 15:53 Thanks! :D 15:53 #endmeeting
