[00:00] <bschaefer> thumper: to sum it up, the lens is getting a new area for a no results message
[00:00] <bschaefer> area meaning just a string, like name
[00:01] <bschaefer> thumper: that way we can handle a case such as "This lens needs an internet connexion to provide results"
[00:01] <thumper> sounds like a plan
[00:02] <thumper> is it well documented on the bug?
[00:02] <bschaefer> no, it was talked about earlier this morning with gord and mhr3
[00:03] <thumper> did JohnLea agree?
[00:03] <bschaefer> thumper: well his thoughts didn't seem to change on what he wanted. It was gords idea and this way JonhLeas plans stay true
[00:03] <thumper> fair enough
[00:05] <bschaefer> thumper but now Ill look into if there is size of how many ResultView the VLayout has in LensView
[00:05]  * thumper nods
[00:05] <bschaefer> which should give me a better update if there are no more results and I should be able to insert the code in a better place...
[00:05] <bschaefer> and now off to work!
[00:06] <bschaefer> thumper: also I like the C++ tip of the day :)
[04:49] <bschaefer> thumper, are you still around?
[13:49] <ockham_> kamstrup: hi, i'm currently trying to package unity-lens-bliss
[13:49] <ockham_> kamstrup: which is using autotools for a mere python script
[13:50] <ockham_> kamstrup: have you considered switching to something python-esque instead?
[13:50] <kamstrup> ockham_: yeah, when I started I didn't know how ambitious I'd get :-)
[13:51] <kamstrup> ockham_: if you want feel free to send a patch for distutils instead
[13:56] <mhall119> would it be possible to put the window icon in the Unity panel?  That way I at least know at a glance which application the menu/window controls are for
[16:22] <hyperair> om26er: ping
[16:23] <om26er> hyperair, pong
[16:23] <hyperair> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/878627 <-- this has only *one* issue described in the bug report.
[16:23] <om26er> ok so all the problems appear together you mean?
[16:23] <hyperair> om26er: it goes like this. first unity behaves normally. then suddenly it gets confused about firefox's window state. and then *ALL* the symptoms appear.
[16:23] <hyperair> yes
[16:23] <om26er> i have seen bug reports for individual issues
[16:24] <hyperair> they're symptoms of the same issue.
[16:24] <om26er> so was wondering maybe you might have reported a few together
[16:24] <hyperair> i just enumerated them from my observations
[16:24] <om26er> its possibly a compiz bugs
[16:24] <om26er> *bug
[16:24] <hyperair> it's not a compiz bug.
[16:24] <hyperair> that i can guarantee.
[16:24] <hyperair> scale (spread switcher, as you call it) works fine
[16:24] <hyperair> i mentioned in the description
[16:24] <hyperair> *every* other switcher in compiz besieds unity work
[16:25] <hyperair> *ALL* of them work as expected
[16:25] <om26er> i am seeing a lot of problems lately where the launcher is losing track of the running app, the icon would vanish from the launcher, minimized app wont be raised
[16:25] <hyperair> it's probably all the same issue.
[16:25] <om26er> its BAMF then
[16:26] <hyperair> hmm are you sure about that?
[16:26]  * om26er wonders whos looking after bamf these days
[16:26] <hyperair> om26er: unity still seems to be able to recognize that the firefox window is being focused
[16:26] <om26er> to my thinking it could also be related to the 'minimized window preview thing'
[16:26] <hyperair> i can't screenshot it at the moment because i dion't know how to reproduce the issue.
[16:26] <om26er> could you disable that in unity plugin
[16:27] <om26er> ?
[16:27] <hyperair> it's not that. i disabled the minimized window preview
[16:27] <hyperair> isn't it in another plugin rather than unity?
[16:27] <om26er> no its in unity plugin
[16:27] <hyperair> lemme check
[16:28] <om26er> in ccsm>>unity plugin
[16:28] <om26er> switcher tab, the last option
[16:28] <hyperair> okay, i disabled it.
[16:28] <hyperair> but i don't think it's that either
[16:28] <hyperair> when firefox's window is focused, the < triangle appears
[16:28] <hyperair> you know, the one on the right side of the icon
[16:29] <hyperair> but the > triangle remains unfilled.
[16:29] <om26er> that seems unity losing track of the app
[16:29] <hyperair> exactly what i'm saying.
[16:29] <hyperair> unity seems to know that firefox's window has focus
[16:29] <hyperair> but it thinks that firefox's window is on a different workspace
[16:30] <om26er> my report focused on three types of main issues in Unity and one of them was apps mis behaving with launcher/alt-tab
[16:30] <hyperair> which report?
[16:30] <om26er> libreoffice is so broken with unity
[16:31] <hyperair> it is?
[16:31] <hyperair> i didn't notice any breakage with libreoffice
[16:31] <om26er> there are a ton of bugs, where libreoffice is running but not appearing in the launcher
[16:31] <hyperair> hmmm
[16:31] <om26er> launching it from launcher would launch it but unity wont know if its actually running
[16:32] <hyperair> i see.
[16:32] <hyperair> i think it's different from this.
[16:32] <hyperair> but then again my firefox icon is one of those always-present icons
[16:32] <hyperair> the "keep in launcher" kind
[16:33] <om26er> yeah its different from this one. i was referring to a general problem
[16:33] <hyperair> i see
[16:34] <om26er> gtk apps behave better with unity, apps like firefox and thunderbird not so, application matching really needs fixing
[16:34]  * om26er is tagging bugs ;-)
[16:35] <hyperair> yeah i can imagine.
[16:35] <hyperair> docky and all those other launchers had their own fair share of issues
[16:35] <hyperair> it's really ridiculous
