jcastroNafai: there's a yellow ! symbol next to the importance00:31
jcastroclick on it and you should see an ajaxy thing to set it00:31

jpetersenHey15:05
kklimondaif the appindicator menu allows user to hide/show main window how should that be presented? a checkbox (ugly), a menu entry that toggles between "Show Application" and "Hide Application" or just "Show application" like in Rhythmbox?15:07
tedgjpetersen: I can't recreate that gpm bug easily.  You said you get it on every restart of the indicator-application-service?15:10
hyperairwhy would a checkbox be ugly?15:11
hyperairi kinda like the checkbox idea.15:11
jpetersentedg, i have a patch which fixes attached to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/52304115:12
ubot4Launchpad bug 523041 in gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 1 other project) "gnome-power-manager crashed with signal 5 in dbus_g_connection_register_g_object() (affects: 32) (dups: 2)" [Critical,Fix released]15:12
tedgkklimonda: I like the Rhythmbox way -- I think the check box in the corner of the window is a good "Hide" button ;)15:12
jpetersentedg, one had to restart it multiple times to raise the bug15:12
tedgjpetersen: Cool!15:12
kklimondahyperair: the menu looks ragged imo (I'm talking about Transmission)15:12
hyperairkklimonda: so we're stuffing everything into appindicator now?15:13
kklimondahyperair: sure we do - that was the plan after all :)15:13
hyperair=\15:13
hyperairkklimonda: what's the point of shifting things from notification area to appindicator if it's just going to end up as a lump of applications all in one place again?15:14
hyperairkklimonda: in the first place, i don't see what's wrong with the notification area15:14
kklimondahyperair: I don't like notification area or rather how applications use it - but I haven't made the decision anyway15:15
hyperairkklimonda: is there a screenshot i could take a look at?15:15
hyperairkklimonda: or is it like the messaging indicator15:15
kklimondahyperair: you mean application indicator itself?15:15
hyperairkklimonda: yes.15:16
hyperairhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators <-- i don't see removing the legacy notification area as going to be pretty.15:17
kklimondahyperair: it looks like that: http://syntaxhighlighted.com/~kklimonda/application-indicator.png15:18
jpetersentedg, oh there is still a debug output in the patch15:18
hyperairstuff like wine apps which use the notification area will continue to live there15:18
kklimondahyperair: the point is to make them all act in the same way15:18
hyperairkklimonda: where will wine systray icons live?15:18
kklimondahyperair: the plan is to port all applications over to the appindicator for lucid+115:18
hyperairkklimonda: including wine?15:19
tedgjpetersen: No issue, I'll get it out.15:19
kklimondahyperair: appindicator is the implementation of the new protocol proposed by kde guys - hopefully we'll get it ratified by fd.o ;)15:19
jpetersentedg, ok cool15:20
kklimondahyperair: I'd guess that people will be able to add notification area for those few misbehaving applications15:20
hyperairkklimonda: ah, so it's not another new ubuntu-specific weirdness.15:20
hyperairi mean, at least it's going upstream.15:20
tedgjpetersen: Merged in trunk, thanks again for the patch!15:27
kklimondampt_: if the appindicator menu allows user to hide/show main window how should that be presented? a checkbox (ugly), a menu entry that toggles between "Show Application" and "Hide Application" or just "Show application" like in Rhythmbox? Is ther way rhythmbox does it the "right" one?15:29
mpt_kklimonda, if that's the main purpose of the menu, it shouldn't be in the panel at all: that's what minimizing is for. Otherwise, yes, "Show {Application Name}" is reasonable.15:30
vishmpt_: "show application" with a checkbox???15:32
vishBug #498183 :(15:32
ubot4Launchpad bug 498183 in rhythmbox (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Rhythmbox menu does not recognize the player state (affects: 2)" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/49818315:32
mpt_vish, no, not with a checkbox.15:32
kklimondampt_: so no toggling between "Hide/Show {Application}" ?15:35
mpt_kklimonda, no. If the window is minimized, unminimize it. If it's unfocused, focus it. If it's already unminimized and focused, do nothing.15:36
kklimondampt_: and what about "Show {Application}" position? Should I follow Rhythmbox and move it to the bottom, over the Quit entry?15:38
kklimondampt_: and are all icons in the menu going to be gone in the final release?15:39
vishmpt_: what about rhythmbox's pause/play?   similarly transmission has a "enable/disable speed limit" option15:39
jcastrompt_: npmccallum posted some questions on gnome ddl about app indicators, he's going to hang out a bit, if you can answer some of his questions that would be great.15:39
mpt_kklimonda, which menu?15:40
jcastrompt_: he has a bunch which might take time so I've asked him to just hang out here in case you're overwhelmed more than usual. :D15:40
npmccallummpt_: thanks jcastro, though I've got to run, so perhaps we can catch up later15:40
kklimondampt_: well - the one that is shown when you click on the application's icon in the indicator-menu15:40
mpt_vish, Rhythmbox has always had this weird idea that "Play" is something you have on or off. I don't know whether it would be weirder for its menu to be consistent with its toolbar, or to be consistent with every other music player.15:41
mpt_npmccallum, ok, see you later15:41
mpt_thanks jcastro 15:41
npmccallummpt_: I've added the channel, so I'll idle here from now on15:41
mpt_kklimonda, which application?15:42
kklimondampt_: transmission - I was about to ask you to take a look at it ;)15:42
npmccallummpt_: the best way would probably be to respond to my email on ddl15:42
mpt_npmccallum, ah, right, you're the Zenoss person. I have your message starred already. :-)15:43
mpt_kklimonda, Transmission is an example of an application that probably shouldn't be in the panel at all, really.15:43
npmccallummpt_: awesome, look forward to it15:43
kklimondampt_: That has always been my opinion but people want this icon and I'd like to make it look as good as possible :)15:44
mpt_kklimonda, does <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines#icons> answer your question?15:45
kklimondampt_: according to this there should be no checkboxes nor icons15:46
mptkklimonda, on the contrary, it allows both checkboxes and icons. One of the reasons for lining up the icons the way we do is so that, if necessary, an item can have both a checkbox *and* an icon (which standard GTK menus currently don't allow).16:10
kklimondampt: but the Correct image have all icons from Incorrent image removed :)16:11
kklimondaprobably that's why I was confused16:12
mptkklimonda, the reason I didn't show the checkbox in my Rhythmbox wireframe is partly that checkmarks in menus shouldn't have borders, like they don't in Windows or Mac OS (I've been nagging kwwii about that), and partly that Rhythmbox probably should have "Play"/"Pause" rather than "☐ Play"/"☑ Play" (as I said earlier to vish).16:12
mptkklimonda, but the reason I drew that Rhythmbox drawing was to show that none of those particular items in the Rhythmbox menu should have icons. There are other items, in other menus, that should have icons.16:13
vishkklimonda: ^that would mean the "enable/disable temporary speed limit" 16:14
kklimondaright16:14
vishmpt: the play/pause thing might get fixed :)  >   Bug #71228  hopefully soonish .. upstream has been kinda open to a patch16:16

qensejcastro: Banshee's now completely working! Yay!19:17
qensebratsche: Anything I can help with testing?19:17
jcastroqense: \o/19:17
qense:D19:17
hyperairqense: does banshee's application indicator have that cool tooltip-on-steroids on hover thing?19:18
qensehyperair: no, tooltips aren't supported19:19
qenseit is a frequent complaint19:19
hyperair=(19:20
hyperairthis is a very significant feature lost, you know?19:20
hyperairtooltips are essential in those icons19:20
qenseAll applications are suffering from this, Rhythmbox included.19:21
hyperairwhat about gnome-power-manager and its battery status/time remaining tooltip?19:21
hyperairis there a replacement for that?19:21
hyperairand rhythmbox's tooltip does not quite compare with banshee's19:21
qenseno replacement as of know, iirc, although I thought that due to AppInd lacking some features and due to the patch not being stable enough it now is using GtkStatusIcons again.19:21
hyperairbanshee's allows the user to control banshee without opening it.19:22
hyperairheh?19:22
qenseah, that kind of tooltip19:22
qensenope, completely gone19:22
hyperairi'll leave the decision upstream then. i won't ship a patch that removes this much functionality without upstream's consent.19:23
hyperairs/won't/refuse to/19:23
hyperairand there i was thinking app indicators might not be such a bad thing...19:23
* hyperair sighs19:24
qensejcastro?19:24
qenseI agree that it is a shame this much functionality is lost.19:24
hyperairit is more than just a mere shame19:24
qensebut still, I think it would be the best to integrate Banshee with the rest of the system.19:24
qensehyperair: actually I never really used it19:24
qenseso I don't know what I'm missing 19:24
hyperairimo it's one of banshee's pride and joy features, important a significant number of people.19:24
hyperairyou cannot remove that kind of feature without expecting to receive flak19:25
brettaltonhyperair: I just came into the room, what feature are you guys speaking of?19:25
hyperairbrettalton: banshee's tooltip which allows you to magnify the cover art and seek19:26
brettaltonhyperair: and banshee no longer has that feature?19:27
hyperairbrettalton: because of another weird feature-removing spec our *x teams seem to support, we're tossing away this feature >_>19:27
hyperairbrettalton: app indicators have no tooltip support19:27
qensebrettalton: with the patch attached at bug 518171 it won't19:27
ubot4Launchpad bug 518171 in banshee (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Support Application Indicators (affects: 2)" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/51817119:27
* bratsche hates on bluetooth.19:28
* hyperair wishes that we could just get notify-osd to stop leaking memory like a sieve when resizing images rather than implementing weird feature-removing specs in the name of progress.19:30
jcastrohyperair: the patch will be submitted upstream and yeah, it's upstream banshee's decision19:44
jcastrohyperair: we're just providing the patch19:44
* hyperair still doesn't agree with it.19:44
hyperairit's not just the tooltip being removed. scrolling doesn't work any more either, does it?19:44
jcastroit does feel like a shame to lose the custom bling, but now that I'm using more apps with it I think overall it's a better user experience.19:45
jcastrohyperair: you mean for volume?19:45
hyperairjcastro: no! i mean for changing tracks!19:45
jcastroafaik there's a bug filed for that19:45
jcastrooh, yeah, THAT. 19:45
* jcastro has hated that since it was checked in19:45
hyperairheh?19:46
hyperairwhat's wrong with that?19:46
jcastroI think scrolling the wheel to change tracks is crack, before that did volume, which makes total sense19:46
hyperairi think it makes even less sense to change volume by scrolling on a media player's icon19:47
jcastrohe added it because jimmac got some fancy usb volume knob thing that glowed in the dark and he wanted to use it for changing songs.19:47
jcastroI have media keys on my keyboard, which is what I use.19:47
hyperairi have a mouse, which i use.19:47
hyperairand media keys which i use as well, when i'm not holding on to my mosue19:48
hyperairmouse*19:48
qenseIt would make much more sense if scrolling on a media player would change the Pulseaudio volume for that specific application.19:48
hyperairqense: if that were the case, i'd expect to see a volume emblem on the media player's icon.19:48
jcastroqense: I think just putting them all in the sound indicator is the way to go19:48
hyperairit doesn't make sense otherwise.19:48
qensejcastro: are there plans to do so? Adding icons for all applications you can change?19:49
jcastroI am not sure19:49
hyperairit would be nice to have a menu drop down from an icon for changing individual apps' volumes19:49
qenseyeah, it would make more people aware of the functionality19:49
jcastroyou mean like what is in the pulseaudio applet but in the panel thing? that would be cool19:50
hyperairright19:50
hyperairexactly19:50
jcastroqense: ok I am going to try your new patch19:50
hyperairbut anyway, back to banshee, supposing we do accept removing the scrolling functionality, and the tooltip-on-steroids, how do you check what song is playing without opening banshee?19:50
hyperairqense: ?19:50
jcastroalso I notice that notify-osd isn't working with banshee19:51
jcastrohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu <-- found this on the wiki hyperair 19:51
qensehyperair: We've already accepted that for Rhythmbox, why not for Banshee?19:52
hyperairjcastro: that's no different from what we have now19:52
qensejcastro: it should be working19:52
jcastroqense: lemme try the new patch19:52
jcastroqense: is there a way to use git to just apply your patch url right into it like I can with "bzr patch"?19:53
qensejcastro: it seems that the shuffle object in Banshee HEAD won't play nice.19:53
qensejcastro: all I know is that you can do 'git am path/to/patch', not if it also supports http19:53
hyperairqense: fine, leave it to upstream. but not having a way to query the currently playing song/artist without bringing up a huge media player window *really* *really* sucks.19:53
hyperairqense: and what about gnome-power-manager? do you seriously want users to open up some big gnome-power-manager window just to check how many minutes of battery they have left?19:55
qensehyperair: I'm not the one making the decisions here. :) You should aks other people about that,19:56
jcastroyeah this should go on the list actually19:57
hyperairqense: who? i feel like grilling someone right now, despite the fact that i should have been asleep 3 hours ago.19:57
jcastrohyperair: probably ted but today is a bad day since we're slammed for feature freeze, which is why list is probably best19:58
hyperairi, for one, see *absolutely* no way opening the main application window can be more streamlined than reading a tooltip that is updated in realtime20:00
jcastroqense: do I need to pass a flag for app indicator support?20:00
qensejcastro: if you've got libappindicator-dev installed no, otherwise yes and then you'll be asked to install it20:01
jcastroI have it installed, it never asked, and it's using the old area20:02
qensewait20:03
qensethe -cil-dev thing20:03
qensedid you install that?20:03
qenseIt is C# after all.20:03
jcastroI have that too20:03
jcastroI was running your old one just fine20:03
qensejcastro: what happens if you run ./configure with --enable-appindicator=yes ?20:05
jcastroah wait, rb isn't working either, maybe it's fallout from yesterday's breakage20:05
* jcastro goes to update and logout20:05
qenseok20:06
qensebut that shouldn't be affected compiling, shouldn't it?20:06
qenseas long as appindicator-sharp-0.1.pc is there is should work, not?20:06
jcastrono, I mean, running rb doesn't show it in the indicator area so maybe it is working but I can't see it20:06
jcastroit compiles just fine20:06
qenseah20:06
qensewell, it does uses the old thing when Indicator Application doesn't work20:07
jcastroyeah that's my theory20:07
jcastroqense: still fallsback, I also tried with the --enable-appindicator=yes20:10

tedgThe question you should be asking is: Would bricks going through your window please the Americans? ;)21:30
qenseYes, that's what some members of our government are contemplating right now. Considerations like these seem to have become the cornerstone of Dutch foreign politics.21:31
