14:01 <popey> how are you sverzegnassi ?
14:02 <sverzegnassi> not many improvements with docviewer... I've an exam in two weeks so i don't have much time
14:02 <sverzegnassi> I took a look at the syntax highlighter and at the sd card support though
14:03 <popey> Ok.
14:03 <sverzegnassi> for the sd card support I've created a new branch:
14:03 <sverzegnassi> https://code.launchpad.net/~verzegnassi-stefano/ubuntu-docviewer-app/sdcard-read-support
14:04 <sverzegnassi> I'd need some test on the Bq, since on my pc seemed much slow but on the N5 runs well
14:04 <popey> ok
14:04 <popey> n5 has no sd slot does it?
14:05 <popey> I can test that here on bq and meizu (meizu has no sd either :( )
14:05 <sverzegnassi> no slot on n5
14:05 <sverzegnassi> I've seen on the PC that we could have some issue if the Documents folder has a lot of files inside
14:06 <popey> ooh, good point
14:06 <popey> I've not tested recently on desktop
14:06 <sverzegnassi> we'll have to make the file watcher working on another thread and/or re-think the documents page
14:06 <popey> We really should put an x86 package in the store
14:06 <sverzegnassi> (i.e. provide some folder support)
14:07 <popey> hmmm, good point!
14:08 <popey> We need to think carefully about this
14:08 <popey> Because it might end up being difficult for users to manage folders
14:08 <sverzegnassi> basically, it would be something similar to the FileChooserDialog I did for the ut-tweak-tool. I don't know how that could fit with the UX, but could avoid that recursive search into folders
14:08 <popey> and in the "new world" with content hub we may just "tag" things?
14:09 * popey pokes kenvandine
14:11 <popey> I propose that we don't do anything on that for now.
14:11 <popey> Need clairification how we will handle these "special" folders
14:11 <sverzegnassi> +1
14:12 <popey> We discussed mediascanner last week.
14:12 <popey> That might work around this.
14:12 <sverzegnassi> it would be great if we can use it!
14:12 <popey> yeah
14:12 <kenvandine> popey, sorry, in a meeting
14:12 <popey> np
14:13 <popey> don't worry, we made an executive decision kenvandine :)
14:13 <popey> sverzegnassi: I'll speak to jim about mediascanner and see if it's something we could add
14:13 <sverzegnassi> ok, thanks popey!
14:14 <popey> Anything else we need to discuss this week?
14:14 <sverzegnassi> about the syntax highlighting for the text editor, I found a nice library that could be use
14:14 <popey> Oh, great.
14:14 <sverzegnassi> https://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/
14:15 <sverzegnassi> there's a qt-binding for it, that sadly is only for qt3 or qt4
14:15 <sverzegnassi> but should be that hard work to port it to qt5
14:15 <popey> last release 6 weeks ago...
14:16 <sverzegnassi> there are already definitions for many of the most important types
14:16 <sverzegnassi> dunno if the best would be *fork* it or use the version in the ubuntu repos
14:16 <popey> is http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsyntaxhighlighter.html no use?
14:17 <sverzegnassi> I did not look deeper in the bindings yet, but probably it uses that
14:18 <sverzegnassi> if we want to use qsyntaxhighlighter directly, there would be a lot of work
14:18 <sverzegnassi> basically we'd have to create all we need (no sure how much optimized could be a new library for this, in a shorter term)
14:19 <popey> oh
14:19 <popey> ok.
14:19 <sverzegnassi> i'll have a look on that library, if we can use it, etc...
14:19 <popey> ok
14:20 <sverzegnassi> a last question is about a bug report we got during this weekend
14:21 <sverzegnassi> "header behaviour is inconsistent"
14:21 <sverzegnassi> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-app/+bug/1453403
14:22 * popey looks
14:22 <sverzegnassi> (I probably am wrong on the things I argued)
14:22 <sverzegnassi> IMHO the issue is that the "tap-to-hide" behaviour is not used in many apps
14:23 <sverzegnassi> so we may probably want to show an hint about the way the header works
14:24 <popey> Yeah, it's a good point.
14:24 <popey> But I think your argument holds.
14:25 * popey leaves a comment
14:26 <sverzegnassi> is it worth to add the ubuntu-ux project as affected?
14:27 <popey> comment left
14:27 <popey> sure
14:28 <popey> unfortunately James was busy this afternoon so can't make the meeting
14:28 <sverzegnassi> ok, done!

14:29 <sverzegnassi> 1) MPs review
14:29 <sverzegnassi> 2) Sadly, in the next weeks I won't be much active in development
14:30 <popey> for 1) I have some time later and tomorrow to look.
14:30 <popey> for 2) Good luck!
14:30 <popey> I'll speak to Bjoren about the libreoffice, and hopefully while you are busy we can make some progress there :)
