alouriegood morning06:52
mac_vDanRabbit: hmm... why does the spinner jump?06:58
* mac_v thinks he is biased ;p06:58
DanRabbitBecause the animation finishes one frame too short06:58
DanRabbitI need to readjust it06:58
mac_valso the fading lines are a bit blurry06:59
DanRabbitfeel free to tweak away :)07:00
mac_vthats the problems with the lines being prominent , we really cant do much , if there are so many lines at those angles they end up blurred :(07:01
mac_vwe have to blame pixel restrictions!07:01
DanRabbityea07:02
DanRabbitI'd rather have the applet render it's own spinner in cairo07:02
DanRabbitthen it'd just be pretty and I wouldn't have to draw anything07:03
mac_v;p07:03
DanRabbit:)07:03
* mac_v tries to convince DanRabbit that the scan idea is a simpler solution ;)07:03
DanRabbithehe07:04
DanRabbitbut, this is prettier :)07:04
mac_vhehe07:04
mac_vDanRabbit: i'll try to fix this bug > Bug #404486 , i'll see if it can be done in similar style as humanity, and push to UNR ?07:11
ubot4Launchpad bug 404486 in humanity "xdg Folder Icons are similar to mime/action icons" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40448607:11
DanRabbitsure07:11
mac_v:)07:11
mac_vDanRabbit: so far how many icons have you done in 64px?07:13
DanRabbitlol07:13
DanRabbit007:13
DanRabbitI've been out all day :D07:13
mac_vif you push whats been done i could do remaining07:13
mac_v;p07:13
DanRabbiteverythings pushed :)07:15
DanRabbitI haven't done anything else07:15
alouriecan I ask ayatana's design question?07:20
alouriehow would application appear in MI ? Would it have to "register" somehow?07:24
mac_valourie: tedg /kenvandine are the people best to answer that , they probably work on UTC workhrs07:34
mac_vDanRabbit: just pushed a couple of simple ones , check them out :) , if thats ok , rest follow07:34
alouriemac_v: thanks07:36
alouriemac_v: and who should I talk to about more generic concept idea?07:36
mac_valourie: check the "messaging menu" wiki ,AFAIK there is no actual procedure needed for an app  , BTW which app are you planning to do?07:37
mac_vfor the MI07:37
mac_valourie: all the requirements are in place... only the apps need to use it07:38
alouriemac_v: well, I was following all the thread about the MI which celeste began07:38
alourieand I had an idea07:38
mac_vah ;)07:39
alouriewhich may, sort of, resolve some of that07:39
alouriebut maybe I don't understand the design correctly, that's why I wanted to ask you guys07:40
mac_valourie: whats the idea? :)07:40
DanRabbitokay, let me pull07:41
DanRabbitmac_v: sexy :D07:42
mac_v:)07:42
DanRabbitI'd probably concentrate on icons that are going to be seen most in Netbook Launcher07:42
mac_vaernt the app / places icons required only for 64px?07:43
DanRabbitso, the categories, apps, folders07:43
mac_v;)07:43
DanRabbit:)07:43
alouriemac_v: ok, hold on :-)07:44
mac_vDanRabbit: categories , awesome \o/ , that would be useful ... i was in process of making an icon for Software store , and system crashed and lost the whole thing , so categories are coming first ;)07:46
DanRabbitaww...07:46
DanRabbitI'm sorry :(07:46
mac_vserves me right for doing "work" on a alpha ;p07:47
mac_van*07:47
alouriemac_v: I thought, that there was so much talk about having or not having a launcher for specific app in MI, for example Evolution07:47
alouriemac_v: with the idea, that 1. If it is running, then I will see notifications, and 2. if it is not running I could launch it07:48
alouriebut then07:48
alouriemac_v: do I have to "run" an email client to know I have messages?07:50
alouriemac_v: of course not07:50
* mac_v nods07:50
alouriemac_v: so what if ayatana (or MI) specifically would implement sort of a system-wide library07:50
alouriemac_v: for collecting my "messaging" information, and rely on it to "show" it to me in MI07:51
alourieand then, if I decide, I will click on that - and an appropriate applciation will be launched07:51
alouriethus, I separate messages from applications that handle them07:52
mac_vits that similar to a blacklist?07:52
alourieoh no07:52
mac_vor whitelist ;p07:52
alourieit like a generic infrastructure for collecting stuff that I care about07:52
alouriefor instance07:52
alourieI use sort of a generic system tool to define my gmail account07:53
alourieand couple of other email accounts07:53
alourieand identica07:53
alourieand twitter07:53
alourieand jabber07:53
alourieand anything else07:53
alouriemac_v: when something happens there, MI will show a notification07:54
alourieI click on gmail - a browser will open07:54
alourieI click on email message - default email client will take care of that07:54
mac_vhmm...07:54
alourietwitter/identica - taken by gwibber/or any other client07:54
alourieI just though that libraries that can do that already developed, just not glued together to infrastructure...07:55
mac_valourie: i think you should send this to the ML , so others can read about it too07:56
alourieyea?07:56
mac_vi dont seem to understand it fully :(07:56
alouriehm07:56
alouriethat's what I said, maybe we're thinking about it from different perspectives?07:57
mac_vfrom what you mention that is exactly what is planned for the MI , [thats what i understood]07:57
mac_vMI displays the apps , clicking on them takes them to the main app07:58
mac_vtakes user*07:58
mac_vyou also mention a libraries , which is similar to the blcaklist/whitelist they are planning to offer07:59
* mac_v needs to get the upstream version and check out the progress ;)08:00
mac_valourie: if what if understood is different from what you mention , if you send it to the ML , others might understand better08:03
alouriemac_v: so MI would display apps, .... this is not exactly what I had in mind. I though more about context, not apps08:03
alourieso not "Evolution, Gwibber, ..." but "Email, Twitter, Identica"08:03
mac_valourie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu08:04
alouriemac_v: thanks08:04
mac_voh you mean like that, 08:04
alouriemac_v: yes08:04
mac_vhmm... thats interesting :)08:04
alouriedisconnect the idea of notification from the application that handles the content08:05
mac_vwhen you send a mail to ML dont forget to mention this> <alourie> so not "Evolution, Gwibber, ..." but "Email, Twitter, Identica08:05
alourieok :-)08:05
mac_valourie: so if i have 2 email clients?08:06
mac_vright now i use both evol and thunderbird08:06
alouriemac_v: but for different things, right?08:06
mac_vno for mail , thunderbird since it supports webmail08:06
alourieyes, for mail, but for different items, right?08:07
mac_vyup08:07
mac_vdifferent acounts08:07
alourieso it should be possible to set which app will handle specific item (or group of items) in MI08:07
alouriewhat if I have different clients for twitter and identica? :-)08:08
alouriethe same thing08:08
mac_vyeah08:08
mac_valourie: that would complicate the process a bit , but its a nice idea to rename the app names with generic names :)08:09
alourieI agree that this may need a little bit of work on details, but now you already asking me questions that sort of "implementation" ones...I just thought about this as a generic concept. ...:-)08:09
DanRabbitmac_v: I'm off to bed. Sorry I didn't get much done today :/08:10
mac_vDanRabbit: ;)08:10
mac_valourie: sure the generic idea , is really nice , users dont need to necessarily know the name of the app08:10
mac_vbut just what they are doing08:11
alouriemac_v: and majority of users probably won't have 2 email clients for different accounts either :-)08:11
mac_vhehe ;p08:11
mac_valourie: you can post the idea on the wiki comments page too08:12
alouriemac_v: is it getting read?08:12
mac_vmpt does read and respond 08:12
alourieI can probably do both08:12
alourieML and wiki08:13
mac_vyeah08:13
alourieso I will work a bit on the abstract of this. Should I try to work out technical details before posting, or leave it completely as a concept?08:14
mac_valourie: hmm... it would be better if you presented the idea without loop holes , else you'd get replies for others , like how i asked what if i'm running 2 apps ;p08:25
mac_vfrom*08:25
alouriemac_v: so, the more resolved issues upfront, the better .... :-)08:26
mac_vyup 08:26
alourieok08:26
alouriemac_v: thanks a lot, you helped me refine this and get the nurv to post to ML :-)08:27
mac_valourie: np :)08:27

DanRabbityea, looks great :)21:11
DanRabbitwant to add it in, or want me to?21:11
mac_vto humanity?21:11
DanRabbityea21:11
DanRabbitI'll do it, I'm already almost done doing it :p21:12
mac_vi'm doing another icon now,... so maybe after a few more we coudl add them21:12
mac_vDanRabbit: sure21:12
DanRabbitbe back in a bit :)21:14
mrooneymac_v: ooh, I didn't know you did art?21:18
mac_vhehe ;)21:18
mrooneyworking on a specific set or project?21:19
mac_vmrooney: right now , humanity21:20
mrooneyah cool, I should check that out21:21
mrooneyI have heard good things21:21
mac_vjust did a couple of small icons for app store until kwwii ripped my idea for the main icon ;p21:21
mrooneyhm humanity 0.2 seems to have been uploaded with a .bzr directory21:23
mac_vo.021:24

DanRabbitmrooney: that was my bad!21:28
mrooneybzr export :)21:28
DanRabbitI'll put another release in just a little bit that will be fixed ;)21:28
DanRabbitYea, I didn't know about that21:28
DanRabbitI got an email from a packager saying "Jesus H Christ you make my life hard!"21:29
mrooneyhaha21:29
mrooneybecause of the .bzr?21:29
DanRabbityea among other things :D21:29

DanRabbitcan somebody count to 3 and then ping me?21:31

SiDiDanRabbit: ^21:32
mac_vDanRabbit: 21:32
DanRabbitthanks :)21:32
DanRabbitmac_v: have you pulled humanity with the new notification-im ?21:32
* mac_v checking21:33
SiDimrooney: i received some wxbanker bugmail a few days ago :D21:33
SiDiHow is 0.6 coming ? :P21:33
mac_vDanRabbit: hehe , you made a symlink ;)21:34
DanRabbityep :D21:34
mac_vnice21:34
DanRabbitit might need a little bit of tweaking actually...21:34
DanRabbitso, I might end up making a "new" icon21:35
mac_vyeah21:35
DanRabbitbut for now21:35
DanRabbitconsistency :)21:35
mrooneySiDi: pretty good, recurring transactions are working, a bunch of other improvements. Now I am trying to figure out how to use gtk theme colors for some things, but having trouble grabbing them21:38
mac_vDanRabbit: is it really necessary to save the files as Plain svg?21:38
DanRabbitIt helps with file size21:38
mac_veeeh , i have to go to "save as" ;p21:39
DanRabbitit may not seem like a big deal21:39
DanRabbitbut look at how small humanity is compared to other icon sets :)21:39
mac_vDanRabbit: is there a preference where i can change the default in inkscape?21:40
DanRabbitI'm not sure21:40
DanRabbitthat would be helpful though, wouldn't it :D21:40
mac_vDanRabbit: yeah... everytime i'm having to save then again i have to cancel the close without saving 21:40
DanRabbitWell, my usual save process is kind of long.21:41
DanRabbitopen new window, cut and paste in place in the new document (this shaves off little things like gradients we didn't use), save as plain svg21:42
mac_vDanRabbit: yeah , i would expect ... you go out of your way to make all icons executables ;p21:42
DanRabbitah, they shouldn't be21:42
DanRabbitI don't know why it does it :(21:42
DanRabbitI always have to go back and change it21:42
SiDimrooney: wxwidgets is quite evil for that :/21:43
mrooneyhaha yeah, I may have to send a mailing list email and see if there is a good way21:43
mac_vDanRabbit: man redoing the icons in 64px is not as easy i thought it would be :(21:46
DanRabbitit's very time consuming to scale icons21:46
DanRabbitThat's why a lot of them haven't been done21:46
mac_vhave to scale... align21:46
DanRabbitthey are still changing so much, I don't want to scale anything that isn't practically perfect :)21:47
mac_vfirst figure out how it was done!21:47
mac_vDanRabbit: sometimes you have grouped the objects , i have to break them and redo some of it ;p , almost like doing a new icon21:49
DanRabbitI'm sorry :(21:49
mac_v;p21:49
* mac_v wonders if DanRabbit has OCD21:52
DanRabbithaha21:52
DanRabbitwhy is that?21:52
mac_vyour save routine... ;p21:53
DanRabbitlol21:53
DanRabbitI just want to shave off as much file size as possible :D21:53
mac_vDanRabbit: you could just use the vacuum defs21:54
DanRabbitit doesn't get it all21:54
mac_vyeah it needs to be done 2/3 times21:54
