[13:44] <dandrader> ltinkl, would you have time to review that https://code.launchpad.net/~dandrader/unity8/fallbackCursorNames/+merge/277288 (and related branches)?
[13:58] <ltinkl> dandrader, yup sure, after I'm done with the new decos
[14:03] <kgunn> dednick: just in case, you saw bug 1515356
[14:04] <kgunn> ?
[14:07] <dednick> kgunn: yeah.
[14:13] <dandrader> ltinkl, ok, thanks. just make sure you claim them before you start (to signal you got them)
[14:13] <ltinkl> dandrader, yup
[15:56] <mterry> dandrader, we talked about a monitoring version of DDA, right?  Did we decide anything about its feasibility?  I'm going to start looking into that
[15:57] <dandrader> mterry, well, DDA is getting moved to ubunut-ui-toolkit
[15:57] <dandrader> mterry, let me find the branch....
[15:57] <mterry> dandrader, yeah I remember hearing that
[15:58] <mterry> thanks
[15:58] <dandrader> mterry, this time it's actually happening :)
[15:58] <dandrader> mterry, lp:~zsombi/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/migrate_unity8_gestures
[15:58] <dandrader> mterry, it's almost top-approved
[15:59] <mterry> dandrader, heh lots of reviewers
[15:59] <dandrader> mterry, it's a lot of code
[15:59] <mterry> dandrader, so at a wild guess, this will make it harder for me to trick it into merely monitoring
[16:05] <dandrader> mterry, let me recap: you want the application to respond normally to the drag from the bottom edge, and at the same time you want unity8 drawing something on top of it, following the gesture?
[16:06] <mterry> dandrader, basically yes (the drawing something on top of it will be instead, "fading something out as the drag progresses", but yeah
[16:08] <dandrader> mterry, I guess for now we can modify unity8's DDA to have this "monitoring only" mode
[16:09] <dandrader> mterry, and later, once untiy8 moves to uitk's SwipeArea, we propose that change to their code base
[16:09] <dandrader> mterry, or, actually, propose the change and then move unity8 to use uitk SwipeArea
[16:10] <mterry> dandrader, I'll look into how complicated the change is
[16:10] <dandrader> mterry, shouldn't be. but it may take a while as you haven't seem the code before
[16:11] <mterry> dandrader, yeah makes sense.  Good excuse to learn the code a bit  :)
[16:11] <dandrader> mterry, and now that we know that we will have to move this change into uitk as well, extra care has to be taken on how to expose this in the public API
[16:12] <mterry> dandrader, yeah, I can't just add toplevel properties called "bool mikesMonitorMode: true"
[16:12] <dandrader> :-D
[16:12] <mterry> But first, lunch!  :)
[16:13] <dandrader> mterry, I think what you have to do in this mode is the following
[16:13] <dandrader> mterry, not regiter candidacy for touch ownership with the TouchRegistry
[16:13] <dandrader> mterry, but instead just register yourself as a watcher straight away
[16:13] <dandrader> mterry, and once you recognize the gesture, do not request ownership over it or grab the touch
[16:15] <mterry> dandrader, thanks!  will start looking there.  And bug you if I need a rosetta stone  :)
