Aki-Thinkpadmihir, ah nice. Ive seen the calender, but its been a year since I saw the calculator. Any screenshots?06:56
Aki-Thinkpadmihir, actually considering I am doing something similar to the calculator I am very interested in seeing how it is working atm06:56

justCarakasdaker, do you know when I should get my email from canonical15:13
t1mpnik90: your code seems fine. Do you have a simpler test program that exposes the issue of the missing actions in the header?15:20
nik90t1mp: no not yet. But I will create one in an hour. Would you like me to create a bug report or just attach it to the MP?15:21

t1mpnik90: where do you define appSettingsAction?15:24
nik90t1mp: in the main qml file Flashback.qml15:24

nik90t1mp: Did you use a loader for the tabs?15:39
t1mpno15:40
t1mpnik90: I'm getting your sources from git to test with that15:42
nik90ok15:44
=== _salem is now known as salem_
t1mpnik90: cool app :)15:46
t1mpnik90: on the Home tab it works fine, in Movies indeed the buttons are not there15:46
nik90t1mp: thnx :)15:46
nik90t1mp: yup..and the difference between the home tab and the rest of the tabs is the use of the QML Loader15:46
t1mpnik90: I tried with                     page: MovieTab { }15:51
t1mpnik90: and still no buttons15:51
t1mpnik90: I'm still searching for the issue,15:52
t1mpnik90: but you have nice, clean code. My compliments :)15:52
nik90t1mp: wow thnx..I am always a bit paranoid about code clarity :)15:56
t1mpnik90: good. stay paranoid :)16:03
balloonsnik90, for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1314533 do you plan to increase the wait timeout?16:08
ubot2Launchpad bug 1314533 in Ubuntu Clock App "Test fails on mako #3 utopic" [Undecided,Confirmed]16:08
balloonsI wonder what changed that makes it take so long16:08
nik90balloons: me too..I plan to talk to renato about this..it shouldn't take this long.16:09
nik90balloons: may be he can reduce it in EDS16:09
balloonsnik90, ok, sounds like a good plan. He should be able to catch why the delay is happening, maybe add a test for it16:09
nik90balloons: yes..I cannot find him on IRC yet. will catch him when he comes online16:10
nik90balloons: I don't want to change the timeout in the clock app before confirming with renato16:10
balloonsnik90, right.. We need to understand what the expected behavior is. As of now, 15 seconds isn't the expected behavior :-)16:11
nik90balloons: indeed :)16:11

rickspencer3hey18:15
rickspencer3does anyone know how I should set the size of a Text{} using grid units?18:15
kenvandinerickspencer3, you mean the height/width of a Text component?18:17
kenvandineor the font size?18:17
rickspencer3kenvandine, the font size18:17
rickspencer3I'm trying font.pointsize18:17
rickspencer3                font.pixelSize: units.gu(2)18:18
rickspencer3it just seems odd18:18
rickspencer3it seems to be working18:18
rickspencer3so18:18
* rickspencer3 shrugs18:18
kenvandinewell, why not use a Label?18:18
rickspencer3kenvandine, because:118:18
rickspencer3oh18:19
rickspencer3like18:19
rickspencer3Label()18:19
rickspencer3Label{}18:19
kenvandineLabel {}18:19
rickspencer3kenvandine, I didn't know there was such a thing18:19
* rickspencer3 tries18:19
kenvandineha18:19
kenvandinefrom the sdk18:19
kenvandinethen set fontSize18:19
kenvandineit isn't points18:19
kenvandinex-small18:19
kenvandinesmall18:19
kenvandineetc18:19
rickspencer3kenvandine, can I change the font color of that18:19
rickspencer3?18:19
kenvandineyes18:19
kenvandineit inherits from Text18:20
kenvandinei think18:20
kenvandinebut it exists for resolution independence :)18:20
kenvandineso a fontSize: large is equal to some value based on the GU18:20
kenvandinebut the sdk figures that out for you18:20
rickspencer3kenvandine, doesn't really work18:25
rickspencer3what the desktop considers large and what the phone considers large are very different18:25
rickspencer3large is unreadably small on the phone :(18:25
kenvandinehumm18:25
* rickspencer3 goes back to Text{}18:26
kenvandinelarge says 20px on destkop and 45px on a 4" HD screen phone18:26
kenvandinemaybe there's a bug :)18:26
kenvandinedeveloper.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.04/UbuntuUserInterfaceToolkit.resolution-independence/18:27
kenvandinerickspencer3, ^^ for reference18:27
kenvandineit has a table listing the sizes18:27
rickspencer3kenvandine, don't know what to say18:28
rickspencer3I got consistent results when I used text and gu18:28
kenvandineme either...18:28
kenvandineare you comparing on mako or flo?18:28
rickspencer3desktop vs mako18:28
kenvandinerickspencer3, imo if fontSize with Label isn't doing what you want, our sdk is broken18:29
kenvandinebecause afaik Label exists to solve the exact use case you have18:30
* rickspencer3 shrugs18:31
rickspencer3I suppose it's a bug somewhere18:31
kenvandineKaleo, ^^ am I right?18:32
kenvandinerickspencer3, how does x-large look on mako?18:32
rickspencer3kenvandine, tbh, I'm working on the next thing already, and have a call I have to get to :)18:32
rickspencer3bbiab18:32
kenvandineunderstand... just want to get a bug filed if needed18:32
rickspencer3kenvandine, do you have a mako?18:33
kenvandineyup18:33
rickspencer3kenvandine, should be trivial to make a little test18:34
rickspencer3it's entirely possible/likely I was doing something wrong ;)18:34
kenvandineyeah, we use that in system-settings too18:34
kenvandinei think in the list of updates available, it's using large... and i seem to recall thinking that text was small18:36

nik90t1mp: ooh awesome19:05
t1mpnik90: can you comment on https://code.launchpad.net/~tpeeters/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/50-headerTools/+merge/217586 if it works?19:09
nik90t1mp: already on it :)19:09
t1mpnik90: thanks19:10
t1mpnik90: The individual movie pages need a title I guess.. otherwise there is no header and no back button19:10
nik90t1mp: np. The new header is coming along nicely.19:10
t1mpnik90: but otherwise the app looks awesome :)19:10
nik90t1mp: yeah I was about to inform you about that19:10
t1mpnik90: in Flashback.qml, you can set the source of the loader of the moviesTab page to something like this:19:11
t1mp                        source: moviesTab.active ? Qt.resolvedUrl("ui/MovieTab.qml") : ""19:11
t1mpthen you don't need the onSelectedTabChanged19:11
nik90t1mp: the reason  I didnt set the title is because the movie names are sometimes long and don't fit in the title. So there it will truncate the movie title which is important19:11
nik90t1mp: oh yeah..that's nice..I will do that19:12
t1mpnik90: right. I think we will run into more issues like that when more people start using the new header19:12
t1mpnik90: I didn't have time yet to consider how to break up long titles19:13
=== bfiller_afk is now known as bfiller
nik90t1mp: I also had that issue with the old header as well on the phone19:13
t1mpnik90: the plan is to release what is done, so that people can start using it, and if there are issues we fix them :)19:13
nik90t1mp: it is good to get the new headers soon since it will give us (core app devs) time to respond and transition to it.19:14
nik90I agree19:14
