15:01 <popey> How is everyone
15:01 <sverzegnassi> fine, thanks. and I have some cool stuff for you! :D
15:02 <popey> Ooooh!
15:02 <popey> Like the sound of that!
15:02 <popey> :D
15:02 <sverzegnassi> https://code.launchpad.net/~verzegnassi-stefano/ubuntu-docviewer-app/lok-content-centered/+merge/283196
15:02 <popey> You know me, I like cool stuff
15:03 <sverzegnassi> I'm really happy of the changes included in that branch. Zooming should be fully working now in the LibreOffice Viewer, both for phones and desktop \o/
15:03 <popey> oooh!
15:03 <popey> I'll branch and play with that!
15:04 <popey> building now ;)
15:05 <popey> I see we have a few merges still pending..
15:05 <sverzegnassi> I'll wait for you coming back in 5 mins saying there's something broken! You're good at that! :)
15:05 <popey> hah :D
15:05 <popey> Yeah, I am, sorry :)
15:05 <sverzegnassi> yep, just ordinary things, not that huge thing
15:06 <popey> \o/ built
15:06 <sverzegnassi> As we have the zooming stuff landed, I think we're almost ready to release. Do we want to release the app with the OTA9.5?
15:08 <popey> Does it depend on anything in 9.5?
15:08 <popey> frameworks or anything?
15:08 <sverzegnassi> No, it depends on OTA-9. I propose that date for convenience
15:09 <popey> Ok.
15:09 <popey> Fine by me.
15:09 <popey> That's pretty soon anyway.
15:09 <popey> Time to get those other smaller merges in :)
15:09 <sverzegnassi> yep!
15:10 <sverzegnassi> I don't think we'll add new translatable strings until we release, so we can also call for translations
15:12 <popey> Oh wow, this is so much better!
15:13 <popey> This feels faster too....
15:15 <sverzegnassi> it's clear to me you didn't open a spreadsheet yet :'D
15:15 <popey> hahah
15:15 <popey> correct!
15:15 <popey> i have now
15:16 <sverzegnassi> That's something I would ask you to check... I don't know how LibreOffice Calc (the standard app) works on armhf
15:16 <popey> It's fine for my use cases!
15:17 <popey> I love the new tabs along the bottom
15:17 <popey> seen them before in the merge, but not said to you yet :)
15:17 <sverzegnassi> :)
15:17 <sverzegnassi> I really love the upcoming release of docviewer. the work we've done in these 7 months looks great now :D
15:18 <popey> +1
15:18 <popey> Totally agree!
15:18 <sverzegnassi> Next stop: PDF viewer!
15:18 <popey> I have a nice 4MB PDF I'm viewing here
15:19 <popey> Which works fine for now, but yes, still needs the zoom improvements :)
15:19 <sverzegnassi> https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-docviewer-dev/ubuntu-docviewer-app/new-pdf-plugin-prototype
15:19 <sverzegnassi> this is for you then! I only want to say you that I never tested it on the phone yet
15:20 <sverzegnassi> but works pretty well on desktop
15:20 <popey> building!
15:21 <popey> I'll test and leave a comment on the merge
15:22 <sverzegnassi> ok, thanks!
15:22 <sverzegnassi> JMulholland: I have some question for you :)
15:23 <JMulholland> fire away sverzegnassi :)
15:24 <sverzegnassi> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-app/+bug/1540350
15:24 <sverzegnassi> I've opened a report for the document browser. It's the part that currently requires more love in docviewer
15:24 * JMulholland looks
15:25 <JMulholland> seems reasonable
15:26 <JMulholland> although it would be the content-hub for browsing to docs, rather than a file picker wouldn’t it?
15:27 <sverzegnassi> I believe that content-hub should work as file picker too, so third party apps can have a way to access to documents we don't support yet
15:27 <JMulholland> cool
15:27 <sverzegnassi> (I'm thinking at Beru, for example)
15:28 <sverzegnassi> Unless we decide that a small set of core apps should act as hubs for the well-known content types
15:29 <JMulholland> possible, but we definitely have a content hub and everything else is still being discussed as far as I know
15:29 <JMulholland> having some sort of recent view rather than simply ‘all the files’ would definitely be an improvement, but perhaps we could consider some sort of combination?
15:30 <JMulholland> Hm
15:30 <JMulholland> actually, that would probably feel very cumbersome
15:30 <JMulholland> I think in principle what you’ve described would be better
15:31 <JMulholland> And could be achieved with existing components, principly the list component
15:31 <sverzegnassi> code is not a problem... I've been prototyping a few things during the last xmas holidays, so I have already some component
15:32 <sverzegnassi> I feel the current way we provide this doesn't fit well with the platform, so if we have to change everything I'd be anyway happy :)
15:32 <popey> sverzegnassi, the new pdf plugin prototype is quite a bit slower on bitmaps in pdfs.
15:32 <popey> and no zoom (currently?)
15:33 <sverzegnassi> popey: yes, it uses tile rendering, which may be a bit slower on low level of zoom
15:33 <sverzegnassi> zoom works only on desktop!
15:33 <sverzegnassi> plug the phone on your TV! :D
15:34 <popey> heh
15:34 <sverzegnassi> JMulholland: that's not urgent anyway. I think I'll have more time for this next month
15:34 <sverzegnassi> I'd rather more interested in asking you a few info on coach marks
15:35 <JMulholland> OK, I’ll have a think and we can pick that back up when youre ready
15:35 <JMulholland> coachmarks: fire away!
15:35 <sverzegnassi> great, thanks!
15:35 <sverzegnassi> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmBNgWVE6P0
15:36 <sverzegnassi> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua3zlAM1378
15:37 <popey> ooh!
15:37 <sverzegnassi> In the document I read that a group of coach marks (a.k.a. tutorials) can only be dismissed by tapping "skip" or "next"
15:37 <JMulholland> that’s the guidance, yup
15:37 <JMulholland> (checking out your videos, very cool :D )
15:38 <sverzegnassi> But, in the section that talks about terminal, I see that it's required to tap on the "settings" button, so that the tutorial goes on explaining the the single settings entries
15:40 <JMulholland> hm
15:41 <sverzegnassi> should i split the tutorial into further parts, and just show the "settings tutorial" when the page is opened by the user?
15:41 <JMulholland> That seems a logical way to procede, but I’ll check in with the designer who put that guidance doc together and make sure they agree
15:42 <sverzegnassi> great, thanks! last question: is there somewhere an svg of the arrow used in the visual style?
15:43 <JMulholland> I’ll check with visual design for you to see if we have an asset
15:43 <sverzegnassi> thank you! :)
15:44 <popey> Ok. Anything else to discuss?
15:45 <sverzegnassi> nothing from me
15:45 <JMulholland> Same here
15:46 <popey> Magic, thank you chaps!
15:47 <sverzegnassi> thank you guys!
15:47 <popey> Looking forward to this release! :D
15:47 <sverzegnassi> me too! I'll probably write something on my blog about the new features!
15:48 <sverzegnassi> (just to make people forget about the things we didn't improve yet)
15:48 <popey> hehe :)
15:48 <popey> I like the way you're thinking!
15:48 <popey> Have a great weekend.
15:48 <popey> o/
