| charlie-tca | Good morning | 13:05 |
|---|---|---|
| charlie-tca | Fresh Natty install on hardware; all drive partitions are now listed as removable devices and will be on the desktop | 17:35 |
| ochosi | charlie-tca: that's the expected behaviour | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | sure wasn't expected by me | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | I really can't remove them | 17:43 |
| ochosi | yeah, i don't think there's a way you can | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | and I don't really like them on the desktop full time | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | When I insert a cd or usb drive, yes, I want to see it, but I don't need to see my 10 partitions on my hard drive full time | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | ochosi: panel fonts in natty are really tiny | 17:45 |
| charlie-tca | (top panel) | 17:45 |
| charlie-tca | I know the panel size requires small fonts, but, are those smaller than 10pt? | 17:46 |
| ochosi | about thunar: i'd suggest filing a bug upstream | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, I have to think about it | 17:46 |
| ochosi | about fonts: at least not intentionally | 17:46 |
| ochosi | would you mind up-ing a quick screenshot? | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | Let me check them on a bigger monitor, maybe this laptoip | 17:47 |
| ochosi | in fact the font-sizes are determined by the dpi ubuntu sets | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | laptop screen might be too small | 17:47 |
| ochosi | and dpi depends on your screen-resolution | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | 1280 X 800 on a 15" lcd? | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | No wonder they look tiny to me | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | I think there was a bug about the drives and partitions not showing on the desktop, so maybe this is a fix for that. | 17:52 |
| ochosi | with the same res on my 13'' screen the fonts look totally fine | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | (but I still won't like it) | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | You got good eyes | 17:52 |
| ochosi | not sure, the thing is that the local partitions are all handled by gio, so i'm not sure how easy it would even be to fix it in thunar | 17:53 |
| charlie-tca | snapshotting the screen | 17:53 |
| ochosi | e.g. you see the same behavior wrt partitions already in maverick in the "open file" dialog | 17:53 |
| ochosi | that one is gtk-builtin and uses gio | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | but these aren't in "open file". They are on the desktop at all times | 17:54 |
| ochosi | are you sure? | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 17:55 |
| ochosi | at iirc it's the same behavior | 17:55 |
| ochosi | ok, then maybe not, i'd have to check to be sure | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | I am sure I am looking at the desktop, and I am sure I see all the partitions | 17:55 |
| ochosi | (and i'm @work so i can't) | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | and I am sure they take a whole column on my de4 | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | desktop | 17:55 |
| ochosi | try "open file" in some app | 17:55 |
| ochosi | e.g. when setting a new desktop-wallpaper | 17:56 |
| charlie-tca | will that make them go away from the desktop? | 17:56 |
| ochosi | after hitting the "+" the open file dialog should show all your local partitions on the left | 17:56 |
| ochosi | just as in thunar | 17:56 |
| charlie-tca | I don't want them on my desktop. I don't care if they are in thunar | 17:57 |
| ochosi | you can only make all "removable" devices disappear from the desktop, so as i said before, it's not fixable in the way you want to fix them | 17:57 |
| ochosi | (meaning: all your other removable devices, like usb-sticks etc. would also not show on the desktop) | 17:57 |
| charlie-tca | That's my point. They should show in thunar. But why do I have a whole column of drives on the desktop now? | 17:58 |
| ochosi | ah right, so you'd prefer differing behavior in thunar and xfdesktop? | 17:59 |
| ochosi | but really, i think you should file a bug upstream | 17:59 |
| ochosi | i vaguely remember this issue being discussed before in #xfce-dev, but i think no-one really cared enough about it in the end | 18:00 |
| ochosi | k, g2g now, have a nice evening/day/morning everyone | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | http://imagebin.org/147976 | 18:00 |
| ochosi | right, that's totally the normal/expected font-size | 18:01 |
| charlie-tca | Okay | 18:01 |
| ochosi | same font-size as on desktop-icons | 18:01 |
| charlie-tca | They look smaller on the screen | 18:01 |
| charlie-tca | but it is probably my eyes with that screen | 18:02 |
| ochosi | probably | 18:02 |
| ochosi | zooming in on 100% here it really looks ok | 18:02 |
| ochosi | good to see that the slideshow is there :) | 18:02 |
| charlie-tca | That's why I asked. You know me and seeing things | 18:02 |
| ochosi | sure, thanks for asking though. could've just as well been a bug | 18:03 |
| charlie-tca | better that *I* ask first on that kind of thing | 18:03 |
| ochosi | yep :) | 18:04 |
| ochosi | anyhow, really gotta run now | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks | 18:04 |
| ochosi | no problemo | 18:04 |
| ochosi | see you around | 18:04 |
