| mr_pouit | micahg: thanks! (nice to known mousepad doesn't use the dropped functions :p) | 11:03 |
|---|---|---|
| ochosi | mr_pouit: do you need anything from me for the display-dialog? i mean is there any way i can help you with it (apart from what i did already)? | 11:50 |
| mr_pouit | ochosi: do you have a mockup for the --minimal dialog box? | 11:52 |
| ochosi | mr_pouit: not yet, good point | 11:52 |
| ochosi | i think what i'd want there is a quick way to extend/clone the desktop (with best guess) and a button to go to the actual settings dialog | 11:53 |
| mr_pouit | yeah, the mockup from the spec isn't too bad I guess | 11:54 |
| ochosi | you mean from ubuntu's spec? | 11:54 |
| ochosi | (wow, solarized is such a beautiful terminal-color-theme) | 11:55 |
| ochosi | i think that's what we should use for 12.10 | 11:55 |
| ochosi | would be nice to have support for multiple color-palettes in xfce4-terminal | 11:56 |
| mr_pouit | meh, I'm not happy, at this rate, 4.12 will be gtk2 | 11:56 |
| ochosi | nick just isn't happy with gtk3 | 11:56 |
| ochosi | he has repeatedly stated that now | 11:57 |
| ochosi | and since he does all the work, i think it's pretty safe to assume now that they'll stick to gtk2 | 11:57 |
| ochosi | would you mind if we patch a launcher for catfish into thunar? | 11:57 |
| ochosi | instead of the "home"-button next to the locationbar | 11:58 |
| ochosi | a simple "search in this folder" launcher | 11:58 |
| mr_pouit | (but it's naive to assume that gtk3 will have fixed all issues after xfce 4.12 anyway) | 11:58 |
| mr_pouit | there's already a custom action on right click? | 11:59 |
| ochosi | yes, but it's not discoverable enough imo | 11:59 |
| ochosi | and now that sean is pimping catfish i think we can dare to make it more prominent | 11:59 |
| ochosi | (yes, i totally agree. i've no clue what the long-term - or even mid-term - strategy is here. it's more just a "boo, gtk3 sucks"...) | 12:00 |
| mr_pouit | I think thunar uses the pathbar style by default | 12:01 |
| mr_pouit | (no home button) | 12:01 |
| mr_pouit | but feel free to replace it | 12:01 |
| ochosi | what if we patch the search-button into the pathbar as well? | 12:02 |
| ochosi | i mean just pack the pathbar inside a hbox: "pathbar | search" | 12:02 |
| ochosi | pathbar is a toolbar and takes care of it's overflow anyway | 12:02 |
| ochosi | so it shouldn't be a real issue | 12:03 |
| ochosi | just a few lines of code for opening catfish in the current-dir | 12:03 |
| ochosi | at least i'd love to do that as long as we don't have a panel-plugin for catfish | 12:03 |
| ochosi | or would that create a potential dependency issue? | 12:06 |
| ochosi | (i mean thunar would then depend on catfish because of the stupid button) | 12:06 |
| ochosi | (or just add a check whether catfish is there, otherwise hide the button?) | 12:06 |
| mr_pouit | yeah, better with the check :p | 12:08 |
| ochosi | :) | 12:08 |
| ochosi | that would have to be there at runtime i guess | 12:08 |
| ochosi | mr_pouit: i'll be on a train without internet in 20min, but i'll probably design a few things for the display dialog on the way | 12:36 |
| mr_pouit | okay, nice | 12:36 |
| mr_pouit | I'm still busy rebuilding all panel plugins against xfce4-panel 4.10 ;-) | 12:37 |
| ochosi | this was the right spec, right? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aHvJ-iIw-59bXTYBmIhQqEx0za2h9jpFE_RhZ2VOvJc/edit?authkey=CJO5wPkH&hl=en_GB&pli=1 | 12:37 |
| ochosi | hehe, i see | 12:37 |
| mr_pouit | yeah | 12:37 |
| ochosi | i'd really love to have a line-light-like plugin for catfish, but as long as catfish is python that's just wishful thinking i guess.. | 12:38 |
| ochosi | mr_pouit: i'll probably also take a stab at a multihead-spec for xubuntu, not as comprehensive as ubuntu's, but trying to aim a bit higher than just the display-dialog button-layout | 12:44 |
| mr_pouit | okay | 12:46 |
| mr_pouit | bbl | 13:10 |
| satop | it is possible to use vlc instead of different audio and video players in xubuntu 12.10 without qt by using gnome-media-player it only needs to be fixed :-) it is broken :-( | 13:39 |
| bluesabre_laptop | satop: Is there any reason we avoid mplayer? I've had as much success rate with mplayer as vlc for most media | 13:50 |
| satop1 | bluesabre also for wma files ? | 13:54 |
| laite | I really think it's best to have one good application for each specific task, and imo playing video and audio are so different from one another that they require separate programs | 14:15 |
| bluesabre_laptop | laite: I agree. I wasn't paying attention to the conversation, I thought this was just for replacing parole | 14:18 |
| bluesabre_laptop | satop1: The wma files probably do present a problem, unless you've got w32codecs/w64codecs, but they're in the medibuntu repo (licensing issues, right)? | 14:19 |
| bluesabre_laptop | ochosi: catfish -- fixed the thumbnail display and sorting by date (probably). Added about dialog. | 14:21 |
| satop1 | ok | 14:22 |
| satop | hello i have a problem with the mouse cursor theme in xubuntu 12.04 with xfce 4.10 i installed oxygen-icon-theme from the repositories changed the setting in xfce settings and in update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme ... so i have the same cursor everywhere ... but when i try to resize window i see another "ugly" cursor theme | 20:32 |
| ochosi | bluesabre_laptop: very cool! i'll check it out right now | 22:41 |
| ochosi | mr_pouit: ok, i put together a good part of the spec, or at least how i'd imagine it | 22:41 |
| ochosi | mr_pouit: i'll put it somewhere on the xubuntu-wiki for now. although it's relevant to xfce as well, it's more a distro-issue... | 22:42 |
| ochosi | bluesabre_laptop: oh btw, it would be useful if the treeview-headers were "fixed" (as in html, so they always stay at the same position, even if you scroll) | 22:47 |
| ochosi | bluesabre_laptop: it seems you forgot to add that you fixed the window-icon! very nice :) | 22:49 |
| ochosi | mr_pouit: the spec is not finished yet, but there's already some essential parts you might wanna read through / comment on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Quantal/MultipleMonitors | 23:00 |
| ochosi | knome: i know you get emails about wiki-pages anyway, but i started with a multi-monitor spec for xubuntu today | 23:00 |
| ochosi | knome: this is obviously connected to the display-dialog improvements that are planned with lionel | 23:01 |
| ochosi | knome: feel free to read through and give feedback. anyway, it's still WIP | 23:01 |
| ochosi | bluesabre_laptop: one interesting feat would be loading thumbnails (like thunar) where possible through tumbler | 23:23 |
