mark76Morning15:35
mr_pouithey15:36
ochosihi charlie-tca 23:26
charlie-tcaHello, ochosi 23:29
charlie-tcaHey, got a report that a couple of launchers are empty in today's image23:29
charlie-tcabrowser and something else are missing the actual launcher23:29
ochosiright, i just talked to mr_pouit and he said he's in the process of uploading them23:30
ochosimr_pouit ^23:30
* charlie-tca too slow, again23:30
ochosinvm23:30
ochosii haven't been able to test the new launchers yet23:30
ochosibut i can quickly do that later23:30
charlie-tcaI am downloading the 10.04.2 images to test them23:30
ochosii just wanted to ask you about the meeting minutes from this week23:31
ochosinice23:31
charlie-tcaI didn't get them posted yet23:31
ochosik, np23:31
charlie-tcaI am behind again23:31
ochosijust wanted to check what my todo-items are to be sure not to miss anything23:31
ochosiiirc the deadline for the UWN article is wednesday, correct?23:32
charlie-tcayes, if you can do it23:32
ochosii'll try23:32
charlie-tcaif not, it is fine to run over23:32
ochosiit'll be a bit hasty for sure, because from tomorrow till wednesday i'll be visiting my parents23:32
ochosiso not really time to write it there i suppose23:32
charlie-tcashoot for the end of the week then23:33
mr_pouitit's already uploaded23:33
charlie-tcaThank you, mr_pouit 23:33
mr_pouitbut maybe the current elementary icon theme in natty doesn't contain the icons23:33
mr_pouit(I only use trunk from bzr, so I didn't check)23:33
ochosiyeah, same here mr_pouit 23:34
ochosii haven't checked yet23:34
ochosibut i think browser and email icons should be there23:34
ochosiwhat icon-names did you use in the launchers?23:34
ochosicharlie-tca: ok, thanks, i think until the end of the week it's doable (UWN)23:35
charlie-tcaThat would be great23:35
ochosik, i'll quickly reboot to natty and check whether the launchers work and also whether the icons are there... brb23:35
ochosimr_pouit: i'm afraid it's true, something must've gone wrong, the three launchers are just empty23:41
ochosimr_pouit: no icon, nothing else23:41
mr_pouitgrmpf23:42
mr_pouitI hate that when that happens23:42
ochosisry :)23:42
ochosicharlie-tca: btw, you said you23:42
ochosi'd send another email to the ubuntu-art ml?23:42
ochosiis that still the plan?23:42
charlie-tcayes23:45
ochosiok23:45
charlie-tcato try and get more color into the wallpapers, right?23:45
ochosiyes, i'm in favor of that23:45
ochosianother thought: i think that a darker wallpaper works better with the theme than one as bright as maverick's default23:46
ochosii've been testing the maverick-wp for a while and then switched back to the one from karmic and it's a lot nicer23:46
charlie-tcaI will suggest that, too, then. Let's see if we can get a mix of some kind23:46
ochosiyep23:46
mr_pouitochosi: beh, I think this is due to the fact that I hide these .desktop from the main menu23:47
ochosiit's a good idea to give them some input now, because somehow after a short period of submissions the "trail has gotten cold" a bit now..…23:47
ochosimr_pouit: awwh23:47
mr_pouitxfce4-panel queries this menu, and cannot find these desktop files, so the launcher is empty23:47
charlie-tcaYeah, I agree, ochosi. I will try to shake it up again23:48
ochosimr_pouit: so we have to find a solution to integrate those default launchers in a meaningful way23:48
charlie-tcaI seem pretty good at that ;-)23:48
ochosicharlie-tca: yep, go for it ;)23:48
mr_pouitochosi: yeah ;] (I just tried here on Debian, and they are visible, because I didn't change my menu)23:49
ochosiright23:49
ochosihm, what do you think about having an entry called "Default Web Browser" and "Default Email Client" in Internet?23:50
ochosis/Internet/Network23:50
charlie-tcaI like that idea23:50
ochosibtw, somehow the category-name Internet might even make more sense to most people than "Network"....23:51
ochosi(even though i'm aware that "internet" isn't correct for what can be in that category)23:51
mr_pouitochosi: no, they are not called like that, and we can't change their name without breaking translations23:51
ochosiarrr23:51
ochosiso either "Web Browser" (with the "Default") or nothing?23:52
mr_pouityeah23:52
ochosinot much room for ideas, hu?23:52
mr_pouitthat's why I hide them by default, because it's a bit redundant23:52
ochosiwe could also create a subcategory/menu of settings called "Default Applications"?23:52
ochosiincluding a launcher to the default app-settings (that you'd normally call through xfce4-settinsg)23:53
ochosi(i mean "Preferred Applications")23:53
mr_pouityeah, I think we can23:53
ochosibtw, Preferred Applications is kinda misleading23:53
mr_pouitor we put them back at the top-level menu23:53
ochosihmyeah, but i don't really like that too much23:54
ochosifeels like a step back23:54
charlie-tcaLong as it is not going to screw people up when they change the default app23:54
ochosii tested it after the last meeting23:54
ochosicharlie-tca: no, those launchers always use whatever is the exo-default23:55
ochosimr_pouit: i mean i can imagine having default browser and mail-client in the top-lvl-menu, but with file-manager and terminal the list gets a bit long imo…+#23:55
* ochosi doesn't like his old keyboard23:56
mark76What about using launchers within launchers?23:56
ochosimark76: what's that?23:56
mark76You know how when you create a launcher you can add them to a sidebar in the launcher creation window23:57
mark76Look. Just add a launcher to your panel and you'll see23:57
ochosimark76: we're talking about the menu23:57
mark76Oh right23:57
ochosi;)23:57
mark76I think the menu should have what's installed in it23:58
mr_pouitochosi: bwah, even a new category will need new translations (unless we call it like an existing desktop file, e.g. "Preferred Applications", so we can reuse translations from exo)…23:58
ochosimr_pouit: hm, in terms of consistency we should either stick to "preferred" in both places or switch to "default" instead completely23:58
ochosiusing "preferred" in xfce4-settings and "default" in the menu doesn't make any sense23:59
