I don't think there's pressure to land docviewer before then 14:05 <sverzegnassi> yes... the new pdf viewer won't be ready for that time anyway... we need to fix performance first (tiled rendering slow on device) 14:06 <popey> okay 14:06 <popey> do you have any ideas on how to improve that? 14:08 <sverzegnassi> well, at the moment I think we should get something that works like the current viewer. So, we shouldn't use tiled rendering but rendering the whole page at once 14:08 <popey> right 14:08 <popey> agreed 14:08 <sverzegnassi> Also, we should review how the overlay is painted on the scene (i.e. overlay shows where hypertexts are on the page) 14:09 <sverzegnassi> + we could cheat a bit on hi-res screens, but that is something we could do in future 14:10 <popey> ok 14:11 <sverzegnassi> JMulholland: you back? 14:11 <JMulholland> I am :) 14:11 <sverzegnassi> :) 14:12 <sverzegnassi> JMulholland: any news on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-app/+bug/1545142 ? 14:12 <JMulholland> Hm, well I’ve assigned it to myself for starters now… :P 14:13 <sverzegnassi> great, thank you! 14:14 <JMulholland> It’s a tricky one, but I think we have three options that imediately come to mind, all with pro’s and cons: 14:14 <sverzegnassi> we've been talking about a toast notification (android-style) some week ago IIRC 14:14 <JMulholland> 1: Educate on the double tap (which we can only really do once, people hate constant dialogues/reminders) 14:15 <JMulholland> 2: Use the bottom edge (which would be odd as it only becomes active when in FS mode, meaning we would probably need to educate again) 14:15 <JMulholland> 3: add a new UI element like a floating button at the top-left - where back/exit usually is (but this could get between the user and the content theyre trying to fullscreen...) 14:16 <JMulholland> I’ve made a note, assigned the bug to myself and will have a think/ chat with the other designers 14:16 <sverzegnassi> ok, great 14:17 <sverzegnassi> popey: news from the user testing of dekko, terminal, etc.? 14:18 <popey> I expect to get the results tomorrow! 14:18 <JMulholland> Our researcher is presenting her findings to the deisgn team tomorrow :D 14:18 <popey> as soon as I have them, you'll have them 14:19 <sverzegnassi> asked almost in time... :P 14:19 <sverzegnassi> looking forward for them 14:22 <popey> :) 14:22 <popey> me too! 14:22 <JMulholland> promisses to be interesting :) 14:24 <sverzegnassi> going off-topic a bit: terminal-app. I've started to complete the porting fromqwidget to qtquick 14:24 <popey> Ok.. 14:25 <sverzegnassi> I've exposed 14 new properties to qml, but there are a lot of changes that could make it worth to start a new branch/series 14:26 <popey> Sounds like a good plan anyway. 14:26 <popey> Especially for the new UI stuff you keep teasing :) 14:27 <sverzegnassi> yes... it would be much easier to handle all that changes on a separate branch (e.g. as done for docviewer) 14:27 <sverzegnassi> I will wait for the current MPs to be approved, then shall we start a 'refactor/reboot bis' branch? 14:28 <popey> Yup! Need a better name than reboot 14:28 <popey> we keep using that 14:28 <popey> I'll let you think of a cool name :) 14:28 <sverzegnassi> you're choosing the wrong person :D 14:29 <sverzegnassi> ok, let's start it after ota-10! 14:29 <popey> okay :) 14:30 <sverzegnassi> since we're in topic now, do you have news about the background processes 14:30 <sverzegnassi> ? 14:31 <popey> Well, the only news we have is that there will be a small set of specific use cases dealt with first 14:31 <popey> I'll raise the topic again though, and see what progress has been made 14:31 <popey> (I doubt much) 14:31 <sverzegnassi> I hope they will allow us to add that setting if the developer mode is enabled on device 14:33 <popey> yeah, that's what I'm pushing for 14:34 <sverzegnassi> good, that would be the best solution we can get 14:34 <popey> yeah, agreed 14:35 <sverzegnassi> anything else to discuss? 14:35 <popey> Nope 14:36 <JMulholland> nothing here 14:36 <sverzegnassi> ok. thanks popey, JMulholland :) 14:36 <popey> Thanks sverzegnassi ! 14:36 <JMulholland> cheers sverzegnassi! 14:36 <popey> #endmeeting
