ochosiali1234: oh, hmm, so it's all fine for you? strange. i guess i have to test whether the docker container makes any difference00:17
ali1234it seems to be00:18
ochosii mean functionally autohide and intelli-hide work as they should00:18
ochosiit just seemed like there were unwanted flickers00:18
ochosicaused by too many signals that made the panel hide/show more often than needed00:19
ali1234its possible00:19
ochosidid you hover the mouse over the top 3px when opening the menu?00:20
ali1234no?00:20
ochosicause then the mouse stays on the autohide-window and triggers another hide/show00:20
ochosianyway, i'll try to write down clearer reproducing instructions tomorrow00:20
ali1234okay i see00:21
ali1234i can reproduce that - but it seems to be because the window open right under the mouse00:21
ali1234something like this00:22
ali12341. mouse enters autohide window, triggering unhide00:22
ali12342. panel appears00:22
ali12343. autohide window disappears - at this point the mouse leaves the autohide window because the autohide window moved, triggering a hide event00:23
ali12344. panel gets hidden00:23
ali12345. autohide window moved back under the mouse00:23
ali12346. mouse is now in the autohide window triggering unhide00:23
ali1234repeat...00:23
ali1234if i click on the menu and then close it without moving the mouse the panel appears and reappears 3 times00:24
ali1234but yeah, i'd look carefully at the mouse input events00:25
ochosiyeah00:29
ochosijust not sure how to solve that or why it worked in gtk200:29
ali1234signal order changed probably00:37
ali1234i'd verify that input events get disabled on the autohide window as soon as its state changes00:37
ali1234and before its position changes00:37
bluesabreSeems like the lp build bots are stuck02:58

subhadipHi. I am a developer and I want to make myself useful in the Xubuntu development. Although I have gone through the articles mentioned on the website, I would like if somebody present here could talk about it or give me a pointer to begin with. Thanks.15:45
geniisubhadip: It's a slow week, but if you idle in here something will eventually happen :)16:31
subhadipgenii: I hope so :)16:35
Unit193bluesabre: Part of the use of the upgrade tool is to remove packages as well, I'm fairly certain we're going to want to add a few to that this time around.  Keeping in mind that config won't override user config though.18:46
Unit193Eg, we may not want to remove voluemd+-sound as pa-plug wouldn't get automatically added to the panel, -application, but mate/gnome switch is fine.18:49
=== vinzv_away is now known as vinzv
ochosisubh: hi, what would you like to work on?21:56
bluesabreUnit193: makes sense. We also have some migration scripts that we may need to poke to update the keyboard shortcuts and whatnot22:32
ochosihey bluesabre 22:32
Unit193:322:33
bluesabrehey ochosi 22:33
bluesabrehey Unit193 22:33
Unit193Hellos.22:33
ochosibluesabre: regarding the pa-plugin, what do you wanna do regarding flocculant's suggestions for the menu?22:33
bluesabreochosi: was planning on just trying a few different layout options and see what we like22:33
bluesabreobviously somewhat limited with using a popup menu22:35
ochosiyup22:36
ochosii would also try not to overload it22:36
bluesabreYup22:36
ochosiso having all of this in one row seems a little excessive:22:36
ochosi[ icon | volumescale | switch | submenu> ]22:37
bluesabreI thought I might replace the current volume indicator icons with just a generic input/output device icon on the device selection above22:37
ochosiif there is such an icon in "the icon themes" then why not22:37
bluesabreyeah22:38
ochosiit's probably not what people are used to seeing there...22:38
ochosibut it could work ok22:38
bluesabreYeah22:38
bluesabreCurrent version feels unbalanced22:38
bluesabreVolume indicator on a different row from the slider also feels wrong22:38
bluesabreSo thought that would be the next experiment22:38
ochosianother suggestion is to go back to a larger icon with rowspan=222:40
bluesabreyeah22:41
ochosialso, i think with the scale next to the icon it's little superfluous to have the icon update according to the volume state (apart from muted)22:41
bluesabreyeah22:41
ochosithe scale tells you much more nicely what the actual state is22:42
bluesabreexcept it doesn't convey muted at all22:42
bluesabreBut the switch is right next to it22:42
bluesabreSo thats fine22:42
bluesabreThe icon gives the clearest indication of the current state22:43
bluesabreAnother option is to move the scale row to the top and have the options below (if more than 1)22:44
bluesabreThe icon identifies whether it is in or out and current state22:44
bluesabreThe rest is just extra22:44
ochosithe scale could convey muted, but then you would have to set it to insensitive22:45
ochosiwhich would be a feature loss imo22:45
bluesabreYup22:45
ochosibecause it's nice to be able to control what volume you "unmute" to22:45
bluesabreI like adjusting volume before unmuting22:45
ochosimaybe moving the output below the scale would work better22:47
bluesabreYeah22:47
ochosithan the bold text could also be dropped22:47
ochosibecause it wouldn't be a headline anymore22:47
bluesabreSounds like an improvement22:47
ochosiwould make it more readable22:47
ochosiand the volume icon would just be a boolean22:48
bluesabreMight even be necessary since I'm going to add device channels at some point22:48
ochosii still like the idea of having the icon itself used as "mute" button, but it's not discoverable enough22:48
bluesabreIt might be22:54
bluesabreMore things for me to play with22:54
ochosiregarding the xubuntu cycle, do you really wanna work on pidgin?22:55
bluesabreochosi: only if I find that the patch doesn't take days to work out22:55
ochosijust because it's on our blueprint yet again22:55
ochosi(i'd personally like it because i like the theme and it was some work too)22:56
bluesabreYup22:56
bluesabreI'd like to have it22:56
bluesabreMore things to show off22:56
bluesabreAlso saw22:56
bluesabre [xubuntu-dev] thunar: Provide more default custom actions (printing, convert to pdf): TODO22:56
bluesabreI think you added this?22:56
ochosiyeah22:56
ochosithe printing can be done for images and especially pdfs with lpr22:57
ochosivery simple one22:57
ochosiif we want libreoffice support too, it'd have to be a bash-script so we can handle both22:57
ochosiand convert to pdf would work for .docx, .ods via libreoffice too22:58
ochosifor everything else we *could* use imagemagick, but it's probably too heavy to ship on our default image just for that22:58
ochosi(at least i think we don't ship it currently)22:58
ochosii just felt thinking about some custom actions wouldn't hurt22:59
ochosiand those two i have on every laptop of mine, so i thought i'd propose them22:59
bluesabreochosi: sounds handy23:04
bluesabrewant to submit a MP or bug report with those?23:04
bluesabreWe'll need translations for those, so getting them in earlier would be better23:05
ochosiyeah, the lpr one is almost done23:07
bluesabreUnit193: want to get some fresh packaging together for  [xubuntu-dev] elementary-xfce: Split packaging for distribution improvements: TODO ? We could land it in Xubuntu first and propose it to debian23:07
ochosistill lacking the "patterns" prat23:08
Unit193bluesabre: Who'd be maintaining it in Debian?  And could try and assist.23:09
bluesabreUnit193: probably us, elementary-xfce could go into pkg-xfce23:10
ochosiiirc we discussed adding all kinds of distro logos and handling symlinking to distributor-logo via the packaging23:13
ochosithen there would be no split packaging needed23:14
ochosior did you have anything else in mind?23:14
bluesabrebasically, it's packaged now as "xubuntu-icon-theme" in Ubuntu23:15
bluesabreit could be "elementary-xfce" and "xubuntu-icon-theme" could be a branded version that just provides the alt distributor-logo to the elementary-xfce themes23:16
bluesabreor smth23:16
bluesabreGives more flexibility to flavors and our downstreams that we don't want using our logo23:17
ochosiright, the flavors argument makes sense23:17
ochosii think pasi already prepped everything in the icon theme23:18
bluesabreand general availability in more than *buntu means more users and maybe more contributors23:18
bluesabreHe did23:18
bluesabreJust need a packaging poke23:18
ochosiso be aware of that for the next upload23:18
ochosiindeed23:18
bluesabreochosi: I'll probably take a look at libreoffice soon and send you some missing icon notes23:21
ochosiah right, that too23:22
ochosithe save as icon is fairly prominent...23:22
bluesabre:)23:23
bluesabreochosi: need anything else from me?23:27
Unit193bluesabre: Oh, and general poke about all your Debian packages. :P23:27
bluesabreUnit193: indeed, need to refresh those23:28
bluesabreeverything was easier when I could just svn-inject my updates23:28
ochosibluesabre: well more patches would be nice ;)23:28
Unit193gbp is soooo much easier.23:28
bluesabreochosi: sure thing, I'll start submitting more PRs when I can get away with symlinks or other people's work23:29
bluesabreyou probably don't want my icon handiwork23:29
Unit193And you usually keep me far away from all things artwork and design too. :(23:30
=== vinzv is now known as vinzv_away
ochosisymlinks should hopefully do a lot of the jobs23:31
ochosii totally forgot how ridonculous the LO icon themes were...23:36
bluesabre:D23:37
ochosipfff23:39
ochosithey added savemodified_extralarge.png23:39
ochosiused to be just "savemodified_large.png"23:39
geniiI'm still waiting for all icons to be svg23:40
bluesabreochosi, glad you're quick to find them though23:40
ochosiwell...23:40
ochosigenii: the icons in my theme are svg23:40
ochosithey're just png-ified for LO23:40
bluesabrewe should try to get these all fixed by Dec/Jan, LibreOffice 6 is due then, I believe23:40
* genii pats ochosi on the back for good work23:41
bluesabreaha23:41
bluesabreWeek 51 , Dec 18, 2017 - Dec 24, 2017 Libreoffice 6 UI freeze23:42
bluesabrehttps://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.023:42
* bluesabre appreciates having ochosi around23:43
ochosicrap, i have no idea anymore how pull requests against LO work with their gerrit :'(23:45
ochosianyway, time to sleep23:45
ochosi(downside of having this merged to upstream)23:45
bluesabrenighty ochosi23:46
Unit193Could be worse, could be what KDE is using. :P23:46
ochosisucks also that Sweetshark was sacked by canonical, so no help from the desktop team anymore...23:48
