[08:22] <hakermania> Hello! I am trying to create dynamic quicklists for my app (Wallch), and I have made it: I can create Options, Disable them or Hide them, but I can't find a way to edit the static quicklists defined in the .desktop file. I would like to have only the dynamically created options while the application is running the the .desktop's static options when the application exits. I want to hide the static quicklist when app is running. Is this poss
[08:24] <smspillaz> hakermania: best to ask kamstrup on Monday
[08:24] <hakermania> smspillaz, thanks, I will not have the opportunity to be on IRC on Monday, I have lessons from 7 at the morning till 9:30 at night :/
[08:25] <smspillaz> ah ok, well, any day of the week then
[08:25] <hakermania> smspillaz, Ok, thanks for the suggestion, I will keep his nickname

[10:10] <ockham_> hi, can anyone test my unity-lens-applications branch https://code.launchpad.net/~ockham-razor/unity-lens-applications/lp785101
[10:10] <ockham_> which attempts to fix bug 785101
[15:07] <AlanBell> ockham_: cool, I will try and install that later. The apps lens is the wierdest part of unity imho, with the lack of categories and adverts for stuff I don't want.
[15:08] <ockham_> AlanBell: great, thx. i hope it works -- if not, please drop me a note
[15:08] <AlanBell> I did a lens that just shows apps I have, grouped by category, it is great, but I don't know what to do with it as it is just hacked about canonical code and probably conflicts with the real apps lens
[15:09] <ockham_> AlanBell: sounds good. you might to check out the "Bliss" lens though, it does something similar as you described, i think
[15:10] <ockham_> in case i'm going offline, you can find my email address via launchpad

[15:10] <AlanBell> I think bliss does it doo, yes
[15:11] <AlanBell> it was my first encounter with vala too, and I got in a bit of a muddle with the .c files
[15:13] <Andy80> hi all
[15:13] <ockham_> AlanBell: mine quite the experiment, too. first time vala, first time gsettings, and no way to test it...
[15:13] <ockham_> *mine was
[15:15] <AlanBell> :)
[15:15] <AlanBell> I am not a fan of vala yet, really dislike the compiler reporting errors in the c files, when you have to fix the .vala files to regenerate the c files to fix the error
[15:17] <ockham_> AlanBell: are you sure that's how it's done? i used the lp:ubuntu/unity-lens-applications branch (not just lp:unity-lens-applications)
[15:17] <ockham_> which i could build using debuild
[15:18] <ockham_> but that did give me vala compiler errors, not c ones
[15:20] <AlanBell> depends on the error you get
[15:20] <AlanBell> vala is a kind of macro language that gets preprocessed down to c and then that gets compiled (I think)
[15:21] <AlanBell> so some errors get picked up in the preprocessing, others give you line numbers in c files
[15:21] <ockham_> ok. that would mean it's valid vala producing invalid c?
[15:23] <AlanBell> might have been runtime errors, can't really remember. Was confusing though
[15:26] <ockham_> AlanBell: need to leave soonish. in order to try out removing the "App available for download" and "Most used" sections, you also need to follow my comment here:
[15:26] <ockham_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-lens-applications/+bug/785101/comments/10
[15:26] <AlanBell> ok
[15:27] <ockham_> i'll appreciate any feedback. it's possible that the gsettings part described in that comment doesn't work because a file is missing, but i think that would be an easy fix
[15:30] <ockham_> alright, gotta go. bye!
[19:04] <ockham_> AlanBell: hi, did you get a chance to test my unity-lens-applications branch in the meantime?
[19:10] <AlanBell> not yet
