[06:45] <kklimonda> jcastro: yes, I just read it. I still have to decide whether we will be able to ship Transmission 2.2x in natty (as we won't be able to update one library in time) but hopefully I'll make the decision in the next few days and start looking and the new API :)
[08:34] <lamalex> smspillaz,
[08:34] <lamalex> whoops
[08:34] <lamalex> nm
[08:58] <smspillaz> lamalex: SUP
[08:59] <smspillaz> lamalex: also, go to bed
[08:59] <smspillaz> :)
[09:10] <lamalex> smspillaz, long story but i am staying up for a friend
[09:11] <lamalex> so i am sleeping all day while she is on the bus
[09:11] <lamalex> and then waking up when she gets off the bus
[09:11] <lamalex> and then going back to sleep when we get back to my house
[11:54] <kklimonda> jcastro: so, I've been thinking about how to use libunity with Transmission and I see few nice ways to use quick lists (for transfer limiting, pausing and unpausing) but I don't see any good use for the other APIs (numbers and progress) - any ideas? :)
[14:14] <jcastro> kklimonda: yeah I have some ideas
[14:14] <jcastro> kklimonda: if you have say, 5 things downloading
[14:14] <jcastro> show a "5" and then a progress meter for all of them together
[14:15] <jcastro> the way I use torrents is they're always kind of running for a long time
[14:17] <kklimonda> jcastro: hmm.. yeah.. I think I can see that..
[14:18] <jcastro> kklimonda: so I was thinking like this ....
[14:19] <jcastro> I want to dl 5 torrents, so I queue em up
[14:19] <jcastro> show 5 and a bar
[14:19] <jcastro> as torrent  5 downloads, show a progress until it's done
[14:19] <jcastro> then it hits 4, and the bar starts over
[14:19] <jcastro> and so on ...
[14:19] <jcastro> or maybe users would prefer the bar show progress for all 5 as a whole
[14:21] <kklimonda> jcastro: bah, Transmission doesn't have download queues afair
[14:21] <jcastro> ahhhh
[14:21] <jcastro> that's right, now I remember why I use deluge. :)
[14:21] <jcastro> well that makes the progress bar easy then
[14:21] <jcastro> and you probably don't need the count?
[14:22] <jcastro> <-- off to meet the tax man, I'll bbl.
[14:22] <kklimonda> jcastro: right, but the progress bar doesn't really say much if there are more than one torrent active.. :)
[20:47] <PsynoKhi0> heya, any Unity designer on? :)
[20:51] <mmoussouni> hi
[20:51] <mmoussouni> I have a problem about unity
[20:52] <mmoussouni> is there somebody?
[20:57] <PsynoKhi0> chaotic: hi, are you the right person to get in touch with if one has a suggestion about Unity's appearance?
[21:25] <PsynoKhi0> Oh well here it goes, in case someone's reading: I think the top-left Ubuntu icon in Unity would be improved if there were visual clues that it actually does something
[21:26] <PsynoKhi0> had I not used the old GNOME desktop nor seen Unity videos, I doubt I would have seen that icon as more than mere decoration
[21:27] <PsynoKhi0> for example, I think the icon should e.g. lighten up when the Launcher bad slides out of the screen
[21:29] <PsynoKhi0> i.e. having the icon contrast with the rest of the desktop so that completely new users get a clue that this icon has some functionality linked to it
[21:29] <PsynoKhi0> that would make the interface more intuitive IMO
[21:30] <PsynoKhi0> as it stands, the icon is completely flat and its semantics are far from "Click me!" :)
[21:31] <PsynoKhi0> MS seem to think they can get away removing the "Start" text on the menu icon in vista and 7 due to the brand's mind share, but IMO that's a huge usability blunder
[21:32] <PsynoKhi0> *sigh* log food eh? :(
[21:44] <Omega> PsynoKhi0: I agree.
[21:46] <PsynoKhi0> Omega: great! :)
[21:46] <PsynoKhi0> oy... "Launcher bar" not "Launcher bad"*
[21:51] <PsynoKhi0> Omega: are you part of the Ayanat team by any chance?
[21:51] <PsynoKhi0> Ayanata*
[21:53] <Omega> PsynoKhi0: No.
[21:54] <Omega> PsynoKhi0: I think this belongs on Ubuntu brainstorm, you could possible bring it up on the mailing list too.
[21:57] <PsynoKhi0> Omega: Brainstorm sounds good, gonna look into it, thanks!
[22:32] <PsynoKhi0> ok, submitted to the brainstorm :)
[22:46] <PsynoKhi0> and I managed to misspell the title ^^
