While the date at the top is in german 18:23 <m-b-o> and I have german localalization choosen on the device 18:25 <popey> hmm, not sure where that sits, platform or toolkit. 18:26 <popey> will ask dpm to take a look. 18:26 <popey> you had another bug? 18:26 <m-b-o> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1296266 18:26 <m-b-o> are tere background jobs possible? 18:27 <m-b-o> or with a check in the running app? 18:28 <popey> well.. 18:28 <popey> background tasks not really. there is a download manager service you may be able to use? 18:28 <popey> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DownloadService 18:29 * popey marks wishlist for now 18:30 <m-b-o> OK. I guess it should be okay in the app 18:30 <popey> i know nik90 and I discussed something similar for the clock app 18:30 <popey> but are you able to trigger an update when (for example) you know the date is more than N hours/mins old? 18:30 <m-b-o> yes, should be possible (when the app is running) 18:31 <popey> right, which is fine 18:31 <m-b-o> but with the new tas laucher I see it for the first time, that the app got stopped 18:31 <m-b-o> task launcher 18:31 <popey> can you detect when you've been woken? 18:31 <popey> and check how old the data is, and refresh if needed? 18:32 <m-b-o> Don't know, haven't tried yet 18:32 <popey> ☻ 18:32 <m-b-o> when the data is older as 30 minutes, it gets refreshed at starup or rewakenings 18:32 <popey> sounds good to me 18:33 <m-b-o> when the tabs get rebuild 18:33 <m-b-o> another bug: key is missing again in ppa 18:34 <m-b-o> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1296610 18:34 <popey> gah! 18:34 <popey> fginther: ^ 18:36 <popey> ok, anything else? 18:37 <m-b-o> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1297357 18:37 <fginther> popey, ack, I'll check it again 18:38 <popey> m-b-o: I'll get that fixed, it's been bugging me too 18:38 <m-b-o> ok, thanks 18:38 <popey> the store front needs to be prettier for core apps, thats for sure. I'll add it to my tracking list 18:38 <m-b-o> about a blueprint: 18:38 <m-b-o> [martin-borho] Make UbuntuShapes sizes relative to work well with convergent: DONE 18:39 <m-b-o> getting the shapes relative to the screen sizes is problematic, since the font size should get scaled too, which is not that good 18:40 <popey> oh, so you end up with giant text? 18:40 <m-b-o> so I made sure, that the two big and the 4 smaller shapes are sticking together on wide tablet 18:40 <popey> I thought the shapes looked pretty good already. 18:41 <m-b-o> yes. or for the smaller text we are using "medium" or "large". which you can't make bigger... 18:41 <m-b-o> yes, I think too 18:42 <m-b-o> so I'll work on the fonts in general next week. there is another bug about font.pointSize and font.pixelSize 18:43 <popey> yeah, sometimes the text can be hard to read, I'd appreciate some love there. 18:43 <m-b-o> I'll try to make the text more grey, when it's a lighter background 18:43 <m-b-o> but the problem will be probably the color of the icons (which is white) 18:44 <popey> yeah. maybe we need to revisit the colours on the background and try out something new? 18:45 <m-b-o> wihout gradient? 18:45 <m-b-o> with pictures or something? 18:46 <popey> not sure. 18:46 <popey> I'll have a play 18:46 <m-b-o> okay :) 18:47 <popey> I love smooth meetings. 18:47 <popey> Anything else to discuss? 18:47 <m-b-o> nope, guess not 18:49 <m-b-o> liked this video with the convergent weather app :) 18:49 <popey> yeah! 18:49 <m-b-o> Ah, now one thing I remeber 18:49 <popey> was nice of jono to post that, got a lot of likes ☻ 18:49 <m-b-o> this really slllooowww scrolling between days 18:49 <m-b-o> it's on the phone too. 18:50 <fginther> m-b-o, popey, I found the mistake I made for the weather-app key and fixed it.
