ochosibluesabre_laptop: ping17:13
ochosibluesabre: ping :)17:33
bluesabrehey ochosi17:33
bluesabrebtw, just uploaded a few fixes17:33
ochosiah nice17:34
ochosigotta pull again then :)17:34
bluesabreeverything that's currently in there should be working as expected at this point17:35
ochosicool17:35
ochosihow're you determining whether something is an application?17:35
ochosi(i get lots of .iso, postinst etc. that are definitely not applications)17:35
bluesabrejust by mime right now.  Unfortunately, things like pdf and such are also listed under the application mime17:36
ochosi(i mean: they're executables, but not applications)17:36
ochosiright. i see17:36
ochosimaybe we should work around that somehow17:36
bluesabreyeah17:36
ochosionly search for stuff in /bin and .desktop or something like that17:36
bluesabregood idea17:36
ochosibut anyway, there's appfinder for that :)17:37
bluesabreI actually need to tweak all the type filters since mimetype isn't always so accurate17:37
ochosi(i mean if you're seriously looking for something that is installed in the right place)17:37
ochosimhm17:37
bluesabretrue17:37
ochosione more thing about the suggestions17:37
ochosii think the delay needs some tweaking17:37
ochosimaybe more delay, currently it slows down typing too much17:38
ochosiit seems to poll after every letter/change17:38
ochosi(i mean immediately)17:38
bluesabreyup17:38
ochosilet me quickly look at what we did for gmusicbrowser17:39
ochosicause there we tested quite a while what feels best17:39
ochosialso: don't poll after the first letter17:40
ochosisomething like: my $timeout = $1<2 ? 1000 : $1==2 ? 200 : 100 (in perl)17:42
ochosi(or drop the 1000, maybe better)17:43
bluesabreochosi: try it now.  I moved the suggestions into a gobject thread17:54
ochosibluesabre: far better17:57
bluesabreawesome17:58
ochosibut still, if i try to type "xubuntu" it stops me after "xu" :/17:58
bluesabreok, I'll throw some timeouts in there17:58
ochosithanks :)17:58
ochosii'll try to make another layout-mockup now17:59
bluesabresounds good17:59
ochosihumm18:07
ochosii'm not very happy with how much space the infobar takes...18:08
ochosii'd prefer something far more subtle18:08
ochosiat least by default18:08
bluesabremock up something awesomer :D18:09
ochosihehe18:09
ochosiyeah, banging my head against the wall currently18:09
ochosias soon as i'm done with that, i'll mock it up :p18:09
* davmor2 moves ochosi 's wall18:10
ochosiheh18:13
ochosithanks davmor2 :)18:13
ochosibluesabre: ok, baby steps then. some padding/arrangment tweaks: http://imagebin.org/21328518:13
ochosibtw, notice the "x" (close-button) in the search-bar. it should be there when $search!=''18:14
ochosiand ideally there would be a spinner instead of the "x" while the search is going on18:14
ochosiwhich would on hover show the "x" to cancel the search18:14
ochosibtw, "Esc" could be mapped to cancel the search by default _and_ to clear a finished search18:15
bluesabresounds good18:16
scott-workthank you for the bug on xfce4-utils mr_pouit 18:32
ochosibluesabre: i think i finally have an idea how to implement the "find" in the UI18:57
bluesabrecool18:57
bluesabrebtw, made some of the interface adjustments.  Not sure how I'm going to do the spinner in the entry box though18:58
ochosibluesabre: http://imagebin.org/21329219:01
ochosiobviously the "search thorougly" is supposed to be a button :}19:01
ochosididn't take the time to really draw it ;)19:01
bluesabreI like that19:02
bluesabreCare if I make the button look just like that?  19:02
bluesabrelol19:02
ochosihaha19:02
ochosiplease do that!19:02
ochosiif the spinner in the entry doesn't work, we can also put it in the statusbar19:05
ochosicause while the search is running, there's nothing else there19:05
ochosiUnit193: tried searchmonkey now, it looks overly complicated (the UI) and it's not really faster or anything19:05
Unit193Right, it was just an idea, I personally use locate and try find every so often.19:07
ochosiUnit193: i think you might be able to use catfish in the future :)19:08
ochosi(in the near future)19:08
knomehurr durr19:08
Unit193I pulled from git, worked with the locate backend.19:09
Unit193s/git/bzr/19:09
ochosiyup19:10
knomebbl19:12
ochosibluesabre: interface adjustments look good! btw, the dotted lines in the treeview, did you set those in the code?19:27
ochosicause they don't look like proper murrine-engine dots, more like fallback-stuff19:27
bluesabreIt's not murrine, is it?  pygi uses gtk319:28
ochosioh right19:30
ochosii forgot :)19:30
ochosi(stupid me)19:30
bluesabrelol19:30
ochosiwell still19:30
bluesabrebut I agree.  Are those dots themeable?19:30
bluesabreor maybe we should port murrine to gtk3?  (not going to volunteer myself for that one)19:31
ochosihmm, treeviews/listviews in greybird-gtk3 don't have the dots, but alternating row-colours19:31
ochosiwell, in fact unico is a rewrite of murrine for gtk319:31
ochosiit has similar functions19:31
ochosiit's just not as mature19:31
ochosipartly because gtk3 isn't as mature as gtk219:31
ochosi(murrine and unico are written by the same author)19:32
bluesabreoh awesome19:32
ochosiso you added the dots?19:33
ochosicause if yes i have to check whether i can theme them with unico (not entirely sure i can)19:34
ochosibut alternating row-colors would be nice19:34
ochosithey're in the theme, they work e.g. in the file-open dialog19:34
bluesabreyeah, it was an option for the treeview.  It should have the alternating rows now (does on mine)19:34
ochosiok nice19:34
bluesabreochosi: just pushed the latest interface changes19:38
mr_pouitok, let's add a workaround for the non-expandable tasklist plugin from 4.10 :<19:40
ochosimr_pouit: agreed19:44
mr_pouitthat will be ugly, and may have funny side effects for people that changed the default config, but well19:45
mr_pouit(basically, if /plugins/plugin-2 is tasklist and /plugins/plugin-3 is separator, then we're in the xubuntu default layout and it sets /plugins/plugin-3 as expandable19:46
ochosibluesabre: maybe add a tooltip to the close-button and make it clear the treeview as well19:46
ochosimr_pouit: it's a problem only for people who used the ppa. and those are on their own anyway :}19:46
mr_pouitnow if someone customised the layout enough to have plugin-2 as a tasklist in panel 0 and plugin-3 as a separator in panel 1, it will be affected as well19:47
mr_pouitno, that's on upgrades from 4.8 :[19:47
bluesabreochosi: I'm not sure why we'd want to clear the treeview as well?19:47
ochosibluesabre: hmm, right. i dunno, i kinda expected that, but i think you're right19:48
ochosithe changes look and work great btw19:49
ochosido you wanna keep $searchterm in the statusbar?19:50
ochosii mean there's one use-case i can think of, clearing the search-entry and then wanting to know what you searched for, but that's kinda odd and i'm not sure it's enough to keep a duplication19:51
mr_pouitdid you talk with kalikiana about replacing catfish? (or will it live with another name)19:51
ochosimr_pouit: right, i didn't read what you proposed properly. i'm not sure that this is the kind of workaround we want. it's a bit hacky and not exactly failproof19:51
ochosimr_pouit: yes, he was looking for a new maintainer anyway19:52
ochosimr_pouit: but we'll see, i think last time it didn't compile for hi19:52
ochosim19:52
ochosii'll talk to him 'bout it19:52
bluesabreyeah, he was having difficulties with it19:53
bluesabrebtw, I fixed the annoying bugs with catfish in lubuntu as well, so they might be able to use it next time if we get this in19:53
ochosiah right19:53
ochosiin that case superseding current catfish would be best19:54
bluesabreyou wouldn't believe it, but pcmanfm does not take path arguments19:54
bluesabresilly19:54
ochosipff19:54
ochosii was never a big fan of pacmanfm tbh19:54
* ochosi hopes jannis will pick up thunar-development again sometime soon19:55
ochosik, i'm off for a bit20:00
ochosiprolly bbl though20:00
ochosibluesabre: btw, you didn't add the delay yet, did you?20:00
ochosianyway, just wondering, no rush :)20:01
bluesabreyeah, haven't added the delay yet, but reduced the number of attempts20:02
bluesabreochosi: Just pushed the icon tooltips.  btw, have any feedback for the custom date and custom file format dialogs?20:13
knomebleh, hey people20:26
bluesabrehey knome20:27
knomehey bluesabre 20:27
* knome is *so* tired from being at places during the last days20:28
knomehome office ftw20:28
Unit193knome: Howdy matie.20:30
knomehey Unit193! :)20:30
* knome is starting to like his new terminal color-scheme a lot20:31
micahgmr_pouit: I think it's awesome that 4.10 is in and there are no new build failures20:32
knomehttp://temp.knome.fi/other/shot-201205-21.png <-20:32
mr_pouitmicahg: yep \o/, the ppa helped though (there was only one failure with linelight-plugin, and it was noticed in my ppa)20:42
mr_pouitthe "less nice" part is that plugins need to be updated to benefit from the new 'deskbar' mode introduced in xfce4-panel 4.1020:43
bluesabrehow much updating?20:44
mr_pouitnot that big, I think it's mostly on new callback20:47
mr_pouit*one20:47
baizonknome: irssi?20:52
ochosiknome: i dunno, the blues are too agressive for me20:53
ochosibluesabre: will take a look tomorrow, gotta sleep now20:53
ochosinight everyone20:53
Unit193baizon: Yes that is.20:57
knomebaizon, yes21:02
knomeochosi, nighty!21:02
knomeochosi, (not for me!)21:02
micahgknome: why did you remove xubuntu-dev from xubuntu-artwork, it contains the canonical branch for the ubuntu package and core-devs need to be able to commit21:12
knomemicahg, hmph, isn't that a bit unclean? :|21:16
knomei can revert if that's needed. i thought it was only you and lionel who needed to access21:17
knome-dev is invited once again.21:18
knomesorry for the hassle!21:18
* knome shouldn't work on FOSS when tired21:18
knomeotoh, i think i found a bug in xfce bugzilla which is fixed21:19
micahgknome: well, core-devs shouldn't be touching it unless they need to fix an issue in the archive21:19
knomemmh, well anyway, it's reverted21:20
micahgthanks21:20
knomenp21:20
knomebtw, have you had a chance to look at the website/wiki "development" pages?21:21
knomewe still refer to people having to apply as a MOTU21:21
knomei'd like to get those pages updated to be as correct as possible, and maybe we could attract a few people21:21
knomethe rest of the "how to contribute" stuff is relatively current and correct now :)21:21
