[00:21] 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. [00:52] OmegaYear, are you still here? [00:54] I am nnnaji. [00:54] hi ;) [00:54] i can hear the german accent in the video.. [00:55] Jan Vornberger [00:55] great screencast on bluetile.org [00:55] have you meantioned this on Ayatana ML already? [00:55] No, I haven't. [00:55] Just in here. [00:55] i think it deserves being mentioned [00:56] i've been advocating snapping to grid for example, quantized resizing etc.. [00:56] people responded, saying that the new tiling features of W7 were a reason to upgrade from vista [00:57] thank's a lot for bringing this up, i'm very appreciative of the hint! [00:58] OmegaYear, are you familiar with compiz grid plugin? [00:59] I am not. [00:59] Also, no problem! [01:00] bluetile is a little rough around the edges but, it works well. [01:01] i'm fetching it just now.. [01:06] OmegaYear, wow.. was a little bit of a bumpy ride on here natty [01:07] the concept is inspiring, if you have the time, i'd love to see your thread on Ayatana ML [01:19] nnnaji: as far as tiling goes I think maximumize does that in compiz [01:35] thx Amaranth, how do get that running in Natty? [01:38] Amaranth, never mind, i installed compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [01:38] it's there now [01:39] nnnaji: I misunderstood what the plugin does, actually [01:40] Amaranth, you were close, though, it's the right direction [01:40] i'm checking the possibilities now.. [01:41] Amaranth, maximumize should be default behaviour, instead of maximize, imo [01:41] *shudder* [01:42] haaaaah [01:42] nnnaji: Dunno if you noticed but unity is kind of geared around you maximizing windows [01:42] yeah [01:42] UNR tried that with maximus [01:42] that was not a solution of scale [01:43] Amaranth, i'm just investigating possibilities [01:43] since Nautilus brought back the second pane, i got into thinking [01:46] nnnaji: brought back? when was it missing? [01:47] Amaranth, so the most part of what i wanted is handled by Compiz grid [01:47] Amaranth, yeah, Nautilus didn't have a second pane for years IIRC, it was brought back last year or so.. [01:47] err, you mean the sidebar? [01:47] afaik it's had that forever [01:47] nah [01:48] F3 in Nautils [01:48] "Extra pane" [01:48] oh, that [01:48] F9 is also cool, but that is something else [01:48] afaik it _never_ had that before :) [01:48] ok.. then i'm mistaken about that.. [01:48] mc had it [01:50] wow.. [01:50] Amaranth, OmegaYear [01:51] with your help i found what i was looking for .. [01:51] ? [01:51] compiz grid does the trick [01:51] it just needs some discoverability tweaking [01:51] like most of compiz [01:52] and together with maximumize's functionality, it does the most exciting part of what OmegaYear 's "bluetile" can do [01:54] 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 [01:55] especially now when everybody has widescreen displays [01:59] I just want to point out that I'm not the author of bluetile, to avoid future confusion/ [02:01] 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 === akshatj is now known as akshatj|afk === akshatj|afk is now known as akshatj === DanRabbit|afk is now known as DanRabbit [13:41] Hello, anyone tried indicator-datetime ? [16:28] I have 10.04 in my usb that i require my computer to boot with, can I add unity usb key to it? [16:39] sl33k_ what do you mean with "add usb key to it"? [16:41] will the other booting ubuntu will get affected by unity? === akshatj is now known as wtfdudeabcdefghi === wtfdudeabcdefghi is now known as akshatj [16:49] you can insert flash memory as usual of course.. [16:52] sl33k_ just try it out and see what happens [16:52] ok [16:53] perhaps insert the unity stick only when the computer is all started up already
