| OmegaYear | Could anyone tell me a little more about the tiling-like features that might get implemented in unity? I asked about tiling a long while ago, and pointed to bluetile as an example hybrid approach. | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| nnnaji | OmegaYear, are you still here? | 00:52 |
| OmegaYear | I am nnnaji. | 00:54 |
| nnnaji | hi ;) | 00:54 |
| nnnaji | i can hear the german accent in the video.. | 00:54 |
| nnnaji | Jan Vornberger | 00:55 |
| nnnaji | great screencast on bluetile.org | 00:55 |
| nnnaji | have you meantioned this on Ayatana ML already? | 00:55 |
| OmegaYear | No, I haven't. | 00:55 |
| OmegaYear | Just in here. | 00:55 |
| nnnaji | i think it deserves being mentioned | 00:55 |
| nnnaji | i've been advocating snapping to grid for example, quantized resizing etc.. | 00:56 |
| nnnaji | people responded, saying that the new tiling features of W7 were a reason to upgrade from vista | 00:56 |
| nnnaji | thank's a lot for bringing this up, i'm very appreciative of the hint! | 00:57 |
| nnnaji | OmegaYear, are you familiar with compiz grid plugin? | 00:58 |
| OmegaYear | I am not. | 00:59 |
| OmegaYear | Also, no problem! | 00:59 |
| OmegaYear | bluetile is a little rough around the edges but, it works well. | 01:00 |
| nnnaji | i'm fetching it just now.. | 01:01 |
| nnnaji | OmegaYear, wow.. was a little bit of a bumpy ride on here natty | 01:06 |
| nnnaji | the concept is inspiring, if you have the time, i'd love to see your thread on Ayatana ML | 01:07 |
| Amaranth | nnnaji: as far as tiling goes I think maximumize does that in compiz | 01:19 |
| nnnaji | thx Amaranth, how do get that running in Natty? | 01:35 |
| nnnaji | Amaranth, never mind, i installed compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 01:38 |
| nnnaji | it's there now | 01:38 |
| Amaranth | nnnaji: I misunderstood what the plugin does, actually | 01:39 |
| nnnaji | Amaranth, you were close, though, it's the right direction | 01:40 |
| nnnaji | i'm checking the possibilities now.. | 01:40 |
| nnnaji | Amaranth, maximumize should be default behaviour, instead of maximize, imo | 01:41 |
| Amaranth | *shudder* | 01:41 |
| nnnaji | haaaaah | 01:42 |
| Amaranth | nnnaji: Dunno if you noticed but unity is kind of geared around you maximizing windows | 01:42 |
| nnnaji | yeah | 01:42 |
| nnnaji | UNR tried that with maximus | 01:42 |
| nnnaji | that was not a solution of scale | 01:42 |
| nnnaji | Amaranth, i'm just investigating possibilities | 01:43 |
| nnnaji | since Nautilus brought back the second pane, i got into thinking | 01:43 |
| Amaranth | nnnaji: brought back? when was it missing? | 01:46 |
| nnnaji | Amaranth, so the most part of what i wanted is handled by Compiz grid | 01:47 |
| nnnaji | Amaranth, yeah, Nautilus didn't have a second pane for years IIRC, it was brought back last year or so.. | 01:47 |
| Amaranth | err, you mean the sidebar? | 01:47 |
| Amaranth | afaik it's had that forever | 01:47 |
| nnnaji | nah | 01:47 |
| nnnaji | F3 in Nautils | 01:48 |
| nnnaji | "Extra pane" | 01:48 |
| Amaranth | oh, that | 01:48 |
| nnnaji | F9 is also cool, but that is something else | 01:48 |
| Amaranth | afaik it _never_ had that before :) | 01:48 |
| nnnaji | ok.. then i'm mistaken about that.. | 01:48 |
| nnnaji | mc had it | 01:48 |
| nnnaji | wow.. | 01:50 |
| nnnaji | Amaranth, OmegaYear | 01:50 |
| nnnaji | with your help i found what i was looking for .. | 01:51 |
| Amaranth | ? | 01:51 |
| nnnaji | compiz grid does the trick | 01:51 |
| nnnaji | it just needs some discoverability tweaking | 01:51 |
| nnnaji | like most of compiz | 01:51 |
| nnnaji | and together with maximumize's functionality, it does the most exciting part of what OmegaYear 's "bluetile" can do | 01:52 |
| nnnaji | i think having an application on the left and one on the right is great for drag and drop stuff, e.g. dragging photos into an email or comparing documents | 01:54 |
| nnnaji | especially now when everybody has widescreen displays | 01:55 |
| OmegaYear | I just want to point out that I'm not the author of bluetile, to avoid future confusion/ | 01:59 |
| nnnaji | OmegaYear, all safe, i don't think there would have been ;) i love the ideas, and i'd love even more to see them implemented in compiz | 02:01 |

| AnAnt | Hello, anyone tried indicator-datetime ? | 13:41 |
| sl33k_ | I have 10.04 in my usb that i require my computer to boot with, can I add unity usb key to it? | 16:28 |
| nnnaji | sl33k_ what do you mean with "add usb key to it"? | 16:39 |
| sl33k_ | will the other booting ubuntu will get affected by unity? | 16:41 |

| nnnaji | you can insert flash memory as usual of course.. | 16:49 |
| nnnaji | sl33k_ just try it out and see what happens | 16:52 |
| sl33k_ | ok | 16:52 |
| nnnaji | perhaps insert the unity stick only when the computer is all started up already | 16:53 |
