| Saviq | mhr3, just a little bit | 14:09 |

| Saviq | mhr3, but yeah, the Card approach is nice and all... but results in unused objects all over the place | 14:09 |
| mzanetti | Saviq: any plan on caching app icons yet? I think that would add a lot to perceived performance | 14:09 |
| Saviq | mzanetti, cache: true, or something more elaborate like bug #1224998 | 14:10 |
| ubot5 | bug 1224998 in Unity 8 "Cache preview and thumbnail images" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1224998 | 14:10 |
| mzanetti | the latter | 14:10 |
| Saviq | mzanetti, SDK topic | 14:11 |
| Saviq | mzanetti, so yeah, there is a plan (that I wrote in the bug), but that's about it | 14:12 |
| Saviq | mzanetti, and I really don't think *we* should be doing anything about it | 14:12 |
| Saviq | mzanetti, it needs to be part of the platform - replacing the default image provider | 14:12 |
| Saviq | mzanetti, but anyway we have cache: true in the Card | 14:13 |
| Saviq | probably should have added it to the CardHeader. too | 14:13 |
| Saviq | mzanetti, but it's worse than that, we need to simplify the delegates as much as possible | 14:14 |
| Saviq | because now, for each icon + title, we instantiate like a dozen other invisible objects | 14:14 |
| mzanetti | yeah... | 14:15 |

| * MacSlow tries to reboot :/ | 14:31 | |
| mhr3 | saviq, any way to make it so that the card objects would be owned by cpp code? | 14:43 |
| elopio | tsdgeos: it fails with the unity8 installed from the landing013 PPA. I'm trying now running it from the same branch. | 14:45 |
| Saviq | mhr3, not really | 14:46 |
| Saviq | mhr3, the view needs to create/destroy them as they come into / out of view | 14:46 |
| Saviq | mhr3, well, in that sense they are, but by all the *Views | 14:46 |
| mhr3 | saviq, well if gc is the problem, then we should just try to hide all the small objects into a one big :) | 14:48 |
| Saviq | mhr3, no, there's no gc | 14:48 |
| Saviq | mhr3, they're destroyed | 14:48 |
| Saviq | mhr3, it's just that when they're recreated again when coming on screen | 14:48 |
| Saviq | mhr3, all the invisible ones get created (in QML world), too | 14:48 |
| Saviq | mhr3, even if not passed to the GPU | 14:49 |
| Saviq | first thing to do would be to wrap all the bigger pieces in Loaders | 14:49 |
| Saviq | and only load them when we know they'd be used | 14:49 |
| Saviq | second would be to create a library (remember? a library?) of Cards that would be selected based on what's mapped and such | 14:50 |
| Saviq | dandrader, hey, you said in your video you did something to Mir (patch?) that prevented it from stopping the rendering for unfocused surfaces | 14:50 |
| Saviq | dandrader, icanhasthat for testing a theory? | 14:51 |
| dandrader | Saviq, I did in in the "unity-mir"/QPA code | 14:51 |
| Saviq | dandrader, works for me | 14:51 |
| dandrader | Saviq, so it just doesn't call application->setState(Suspend) | 14:52 |
| Saviq | dandrader, ok, so that's different :? | 14:53 |

| greyback | dandrader: yay! I think we should leave it like tat :P | 18:50 |
| dandrader | greyback, it's a dream coming true. I can just remove the tons of hacks we have around the OSK subject and simply position it like any other Item in the unity8 scene! | 18:51 |

| greyback | dandrader: I want it to slide up/down! | 18:52 |
| greyback | not just appear, which I always hated | 18:52 |
| dandrader | greyback, yeah, sure it will | 18:52 |
| * greyback away | 18:58 | |
| === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk | ||
| === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader | ||
| Saviq | greyback, dandrader, I'm not sure we want to be too smart in the shell about how the OSK behaves | 20:45 |
| Saviq | greyback, dandrader, sliding up should be handled by the OSK itself | 20:45 |
| Saviq | we need to think about 3rd party input methods | 20:45 |
| Saviq | IMO the vkb should be a rather freeform window (not necessarily even bottom-attached) | 20:46 |
| Saviq | dandrader, one thing we do need to do, though, is treat the vkb as part of the app surface, so that it appears together with the app in the spread and all the animations | 20:48 |
| dandrader | Saviq, are the designs like that? | 20:49 |
| Saviq | problem ↑ here is that we need a vkb screenshot (buffer?) per-app, and preserve state between apps (that's rather outside of our jurisdiction, though) | 20:49 |
| Saviq | dandrader, yeah, otherwise apps would need to reflow or be blank at the bottom or whatnot | 20:50 |
| Saviq | dandrader, app in the spread needs to be exactly as you left it, and how it will come back, part of that is the vkb | 20:50 |
| Saviq | dandrader, so we might needs to consider vkb actually supplying a surface per app | 20:51 |
| dandrader | this is not sounding good | 20:52 |
| Saviq | dandrader, well, it doesn't have to be bad, we just need to think of a good way to do this | 20:56 |
| Saviq | dandrader, we need something similar for trusted sessions, like with the content hub, for example | 20:57 |
| dandrader | Saviq, we have to find the right balance between leaving things loose and abstract to let 3rd parties go crazy on input method plugins and a pleasing, smooth, user experience | 20:57 |
| Saviq | you need to be able to swipe away an app that is in the middle of a content sharing session, and it needs to be rendered into the same app, at some point - maybe even all three - app, content hub and the sharing app, as those will be three distinct surfaces composited together | 20:58 |
| dandrader | Saviq, sacrificing the end user experience in favor of hypothetical use cases (a 3rd party input method that might do this and that) is a bad thing to do IMO | 20:59 |
| Saviq | dandrader, sure, but I'm afraid input methods are the things that go rather crazy | 20:59 |
| Saviq | dandrader, we don't need to sacrifice, we might just need to delegate | 20:59 |
| dandrader | Saviq, have you seem them going crazy on other platforms? | 20:59 |
| Saviq | dandrader, depends on what is "going crazy", but there's plenty of weird input methods that are out there, and we need to strive not to lock any one of them out | 21:00 |
| Saviq | dandrader, good thing is, though, it's just like an app - if it'll be bad, people will rate it down and uninstall it | 21:00 |
| dandrader | Saviq, I need concrete examples | 21:00 |
| Saviq | dandrader, so I don't think this is a really big issue UX wise | 21:00 |
| Saviq | dandrader, I don't have them, but I'm simple, I use a US layout keyboard | 21:01 |
| dandrader | Saviq, ok, so we are in the hypothetical ground here | 21:01 |
| Saviq | dandrader, http://hubpages.com/hub/Android-Softkeyboard-Shootout-which-input-method-should-you-use | 21:02 |
| Saviq | dandrader, so yeah, ultimately they all seem to be a bottom-anchored rectangle | 21:04 |
| dandrader | jeez, the narrator here is a cheap text-to-speech software: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHj2ePxxMo0 | 21:05 |
| Saviq | dandrader, but why would we impose a slide-up transition for it? why not leave that to the vkb itself? | 21:05 |
| Saviq | dandrader, but then there's stuff like dasher http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasher | 21:06 |
| Saviq | erm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasher_%28software%29 | 21:06 |
| Saviq | and any number of things like that, that we should try and not preclude for no good reason | 21:06 |
| Saviq | dandrader, and well, ultimately it's not our decision anyway, but UX design's, on what we want to allow | 21:07 |
| dandrader | Saviq, I would ask the other way round: why limit our animations and interactions for no good reason | 21:07 |
| dandrader | ? | 21:07 |
| Saviq | dandrader, limit in what way? | 21:07 |
| dandrader | Saviq, sliding up and down for instance. and, more importantly, how such animations are orchestrated to fit well with other UI components such as the launcher | 21:09 |
| Saviq | dandrader, how would they be orchestrated? how does the launcher impact the vkb? | 21:14 |
| Saviq | IMO the launcher should just go over the app (and hence the vkb, which is part of the app) | 21:15 |
| Saviq | I don't see the reason to force a slide up/down animation, what if people want it to fade in/out, or plainly just show up? I'd see it as a user preference, and not something we want to implement, but the vkb should | 21:17 |
| Saviq | but again, that's me | 21:17 |
| Saviq | I don't have to be right, nor do I have the binding word :) | 21:17 |
