15:03 <popey> Hows it going guys
15:03 <gang66> Great
15:04 <gang66> The main topic for today is bug reported by Riccardo:
15:04 <gang66> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1476374
15:04 <gang66> But we need James for that
15:04 <gang66> ...
15:05 <popey> Unfortunately James had to take the day off today.
15:05 <popey> he reviews bugs on friday, so I'll poke him with it when he's back :)
15:05 <gang66> ok
15:06 <gang66> I have some proposal how to resolve it, so I need to discuss with you guys
15:06 <popey> Ok :)
15:06 <popey> Fire away
15:08 <gang66> 1. Get rid of temporarly result
15:09 <gang66> 2. Instead of introduce multi line InputArea
15:10 <gang66> When the formula exceed  Input Area width
15:11 <gang66> then the new line wil appear
15:12 <popey> How do other calculators do it?
15:12 <gang66> Can we start hangout sesion
15:12 <gang66> ?
15:12 <gang66> Maybe it will be easier to explain?
15:12 <popey> No, I understand :)
15:13 <gang66> :-)
15:13 <gang66> Riccardo what you think?
15:14 <rpadovani> Could be an idea
15:14 <rpadovani> It's easy to implement
15:14 <rpadovani> but I would like to hear the opionion fo our designer too :-)
15:15 <rpadovani> Could you please left the suggestion as comment in the bug?
15:15 <popey> in the example we currently don't overflow the input box
15:15 <popey> "1+2x2x2"
15:15 <popey> that doesn't even go half way.
15:15 <popey> so arguably that doesn't need to temporarily resolve
15:16 <popey> and I think most people tend to think in terms of shorter calculations, or the entire caclculation
15:16 <popey> not partial ones
15:16 <gang66> try with 1/3=
15:16 <gang66> or with pi  number
15:16 <popey> i.e. they type the whole thing in and press = to get the answer (like adding a list of shopping items)
15:16 <popey> right
15:17 <popey> but I didn't press "=" with "1+2x2x2"
15:17 <popey> it's the partially resolved result that's confusing.
15:17 <gang66> ok
15:18 <gang66> It would be great `also to apply this for Calculations History (multiline formulas)
15:19 <gang66> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1446808
15:19 <rpadovani> yap, but maybe then the history becomes too long?
15:20 <gang66> If there will be long formuia then the height will be greater
15:21 <popey> I worry that the height is a problem on low resolution devices like the e4.5
15:21 <gang66> But it is better than do not display whole long formula
15:21 <gang66> You could always scroll
15:21 <gang66> Or you could use Landscape mode
15:22 <gang66> Or we could limit displaying to 3 lines - it is always better than displaying only first line
15:23 <gang66> What do you think ?
15:23 <popey> I'd rather we scrolled and kept the input line only 1 line high
15:23 <popey> but I am not design :)
15:23 <gang66> ok
15:24 <gang66> We need the Design Input then
15:24 <gang66> One more issue:
15:24 <gang66> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calculator-app/+bug/1477636
15:24 <popey> agreed
15:25 <gang66> as I understand % is modulo
15:25 <popey> we dont have a % button :)
15:26 <popey> http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-07-23-162602.png
15:26 <rpadovani> we drop it loooooong time ago
15:26 <rpadovani> and it was about per cent
15:26 <rpadovani> not modulo
15:26 <rpadovani> who use modulo in real life?
15:27 <rpadovani> (I mean, out of computer science)
15:27 <gang66> When you press "mod" it is using % character
15:27 <gang66> But mod is used for translations
15:28 <rpadovani> ah
15:29 <popey> ah
15:29 <popey> so just simply a translation update?
15:29 <gang66> That's all from my side
15:30 <gang66> yes
15:30 <gang66> It seems so
15:30 <popey> ok.ok.
15:30 <popey> Thanks chaps, I'll speak to James when he's back and get answers on that bug.
