The chair is popey. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology. 20:06 20:06 Available commands: action commands idea info link nick 20:06 how are you both? 20:06 I am ok. 20:07 * popey looks at https://code.launchpad.net/~carlos-mazieri/ubuntu-filemanager-app/trash-operations-3/+merge/219943 20:07 I’m doing well 20:08 fginther: heya, you about? any chance you can take a look at http://91.189.93.70:8080/job/generic-mediumtests-trusty/2885/console ? 20:09 not quite sure whats going on there 20:09 its failing on cleanup?> 20:09 it looks like failing on packaging 20:09 yeah 20:12 ok, fginther isn't about, I'll ping him in a bit 20:12 popey, sorry, I'm here 20:12 oh, great ☻ 20:13 while he looks at that... 20:13 CarlosMazieri: iBelieve You may have seen we now have a Unity8 based desktop image for 14.10 20:13 which means more people will be exercising the file manager app on the desktop - which is great news! 20:14 I do not 20:14 ok, let me find a link 20:14 popey, I heard about, but haven’t tried it at all. That’s neat! 20:14 here's an article about it http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/unity-8-daily-build-images-go-live 20:15 it's not the "default" for 14.10, but something to let people try out Unity8, Mir and the core apps on the desktop 20:15 So expect the odd bug report ㋛ 20:15 We'll be keeping an eye on the bug reports as always. 20:16 I will try this image 20:16 So the work you've been doing recently will certainly be valued there. 20:17 popey, that's a rather old trusty test. Those have now been disabled. Shall I re-approve the failed MP? 20:17 please 20:17 please fix that, it is the second time it happens 20:18 So i think we're disabling the trusty tests right fginther ? 20:18 sorry about that CarlosMazieri 20:18 popey, yes, all the trusty builds and tests have been disabled 20:19 thanks 20:19 thanks 20:19 A couple of other admin-type things. 20:19 We have a Trello board for tracking to-do items.. https://trello.com/b/Ie2rAS3W/core-apps-management 20:20 I added you both to it. 20:20 The idea is it's easier to use than blueprints, and easier for us to get an overview of all core apps. 20:20 popey: nice, trello’s awesome! 20:21 If there are things you need us to do, feel free to add cards to the ToDo lane and assign them to us! 20:21 We've been prefixing the cards with the app names so you can filter them using the options in the top right. 20:22 We also had a fix come in from Victor which addressed the problem with the tests failing during our daily imag ebuilds 20:22 Turns out disabling the on screen keyboard wasn't actually wise during tests. 20:23 I am wondering what to do next in the plugin 20:24 ah yes, you sent a mail with a list didn't you, sorry, I didn't reply 20:24 So you had 3 items on the list, networked operations, multi-threading, and undo, right? 20:25 popey: is the trello board just for management issues, or is it for tracking features too? Such as implementing the new header in File Manager? 20:25 it is my suggestion, open to other ideas 20:25 iBelieve: yeah, tracking features too 20:26 popey: ok, cool 20:26 popey: should I add new cards to the top or bottom of the lists? 20:26 sure iBelieve ☻ 20:27 CarlosMazieri: right, well my feeling is that network and undo come over multi-threaded, but depend really on how much work is required. 20:27 I don't actually have a laundry list of features that need adding, but I expect that the Unity 8 image may trigger some suggestions / wishlist items. 20:27 network requires more work than multi-thread 20:29 And undo? 20:29 undo is lighter than others 20:30 So really I think we need to do some research and figure out whether we have feature partity with other common desktop file managers. 20:30 Which will help us drive the to-do list. 20:30 the usual suspects being nautilus, dolphin ... osx finder ㋛ 20:31 Personally I'd value undo, because I'm a klutz and end up dragging things to the wrong place all the time ☻ 20:31 But I don't know how that compares to other users, and whether other file managers implement those features well and how heavily they're used. 20:32 What do you think CarlosMazieri iBelieve ? 20:32 popey, CarlosMazieri: File icons would be really nice to have. And I’d like to see undo support 20:33 I think a file manager needs all these features, we need to put a priority list 20:34 please identify a order for new features 20:34 ok. let me build that list and get back to you. okay? 20:34 Ok, thanks 20:34 np, thank you! 20:35 iBelieve: icons for common document types? 20:36 I think he talks about theme icons 20:36 popey: yes, MIME type icons 20:36 ok, i need to check with design as we have an icon designer, to see if its on their radar 20:36 don't want to duplicate effort 20:37 * popey adds a todo 20:37 popey: icons from the new suru theme would be nice too. But I was refering to matching the file type (image, document, source code, etc) to an icon, even if it is from the desktop theme 20:38 right, thats what i mean, i dont know if they plan to make new suru icons for all of that 20:38 I'm sure they do, but don't know when 20:38 I think we have like one guy doing it ☻ 20:38 if he's not working on it, then perhaps we can ask Sam Hewitt nicely? 20:39 CarlosMazieri: is it possible to use Qt in C++ to return an icon from the current theme for each file/folder? 20:39 popey: I’m sure Sam Hewitt would to a great job! 20:39 ya 20:39 yes, I have not done it yet, but I kow that is possible 20:39 I wouldn't want him to make icons and them all get replaced by the design team though. so want to check first 20:42 Ok. Anything else to discuss today? Any issues guys? 20:42 No, thanks. 20:42 popey: nothing else from me 20:42 Great, thanks for your time guys. Really appreciated. 20:43 I'll get back to you with the results of those to-do's 20:43 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
