#instantbird log on 07 14 2011

All times are UTC.

00:00:04 <flo> so we make upstream our patches increasingly easily and reach someday a point where the system libpurple becomes usable for Instantbird
00:00:12 <flo> make -> may
00:00:25 <flo> I wouldn't bet on this though.
00:00:44 <flo> we may very well have rewritten most of the protocols in JS before that (we already have twitter in JS, we will have IRC and XMPP soon).
00:02:35 <flo> Good night! :)
00:03:05 <gg0> ok we'll see. have fun! :)

09:33:10 <mmkmou> hello 
09:36:50 <mmkmou> i'm trying to read the source code of instantbird and in a file : instantbird.xul. I see the following code : "#expand  <key id"... "  what the "#expand" does here 
09:47:15 <fabrice> mmkmou: this is probably a preprocessor directive
09:47:28 <fabrice> do you have a link to the file?

14:58:32 <flo> clokep_work: exactly. They said I would have it once they are on mercurial a few months ago. I was offered a monotone access last week if I don't want to wait, but I'm not really interested in learning to use monotone if it's only for a few days :-D

16:37:06 --> igorko has joined #instantbird
16:37:29 <clokep_work> eson57: You'll have to wait for flo, although someone else had this the other day too...
16:37:56 <flo> eson57: the upload failed for no apparent reason (it happens sometimes), I've just restarted it ;)
16:39:18 <eson57> ok... no problem... I think I´m done translating. If you don´t need me to do something I missed, that is.   :)
16:39:31 --> werwolf has joined #instantbird
16:42:01 --> micahg has joined #instantbird
16:43:26 <flo> eson57: the log still shows a few dozen of missing strings ;)
16:44:34 <eson57> well that´s what I tried to explain yesterday... I don´t know where to get those strings
16:45:35 <flo> https://hg.instantbird.org/l10n/en-US/
16:47:09 <clokep_work> Should that be in lxr btw? Not sure if it'd be helpful or not...
16:47:59 <flo> what would lxr provide?
16:48:32 <clokep_work> Could search through it to find what file strings are in (which I think is what eson57's question is?)
16:48:46 <flo> it's just an automatically reorganized repository with the strings from the other repository (which is lxr'ed already anyway)
16:48:51 <clokep_work> You can do it in the source too of course, but you'd get a lot of junk probably if you search for common words.
16:49:04 <clokep_work> Just an idea. :)
16:49:04 <flo> clokep_work: the file and path is explicitely in the log, so there's no need to search for it
16:49:16 <clokep_work> Ah, is it?
16:49:18 <clokep_work> Never mind then.
16:49:27 <clokep_work> I thought it was just the entity name.
16:49:53 <eson57> How come I didn´t get those strings from the beginning... en-US repository is what I started with?
16:49:55 <flo> the log looks like this: http://buildbot-l10n.instantbird.org/builders/translate/builds/472/steps/shell_3/logs/stdio/text
16:50:35 <flo> eson57: for these files you started with the file we imported from the Pidgin translation - it was most likely outdated for your locale

16:52:27 <eson57> ahaa... ok, I´ll fix that tomorrow thrn

17:12:42 <deOmega> hi clokep.  is there any clarification i need to make regatding that  message window bug?
17:12:47 <deOmega> good day
17:13:07 <deOmega> I am not  familiar with  w  Llinux or mac
17:13:49 <flo> I've created the pt-PT repository that was requested today
17:14:03 <flo> we should probably fully automate the repository creation process
17:14:36 <flo> deOmega: Hello :). The problem is the same on Mac and Linux.
17:14:48 <flo> some of the suggested solutions may not apply though (no taskbar on Mac).
17:15:46 <deOmega> Hi Flo.  OK, thank you :)
17:16:16 <deOmega> That is another example of something I had a problem with earlier, but compensated for and so.. forgot :)
17:17:53 <flo> I think you have already filed it a year or two ago
17:18:32 <flo> iirc, at the time it was more focused on the privacy aspect (= if a window opens and steals the focus, you risk entering a password in it)
17:18:50 <-- werwolf has quit (Ping timeout)
17:20:02 <clokep_work> It's similar to the "Do Not Disturb" mode I filed.
17:20:09 <clokep_work> In a way, not exactly the same obviously. )
17:20:10 <clokep_work> :)
17:20:34 <flo> and similar to an add-on I'd like to write ;)
17:20:40 <clokep_work> deOmega: No, there's enough information, I think (unfortunately) that on Windows if you create a new window htat is minimized, it might still kick people out of games.
17:20:53 <clokep_work> Which is not your request, but it's the original request. ;)
17:21:28 <deOmega> ah.     cool
17:21:39 <flo> well "add-on" because I'm not fully confident of one aspect of the UI I'm planning to create, and would like to test it for a few days
17:21:55 <flo> (and let other people test it too of course)
17:22:01 <deOmega> I  understand teh full screen aspect too, but   figure it is tehs ame for someone at work  not working on a full screen or stepping away from their pc or something
17:22:16 <deOmega> Flo.. i searched wondering if i filed it... did not find.  hmm
17:22:30 <deOmega> i should have searched 'MY bugs' instead of keywords lol
17:22:52 <flo> deOmega: bug 406
17:22:55 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406 nor, --, ---, nobody, NEW, New Conversation takes focus from current task
17:23:19 <flo> (I searcked with the keyword "focus")
17:24:01 <deOmega> ohh yeah.. not  quite the same indeed.   Actually, I may have thought the same but did not communicate it there.
17:24:20 <flo> I wish Tab Complete was smarter :-/
17:24:39 <clokep_work> flo: How so? By completing based on like people you're currently talking to?
17:25:11 <clokep_work> deOmega: It sounds exactly the same to me, just from a different use case. ;)
17:25:46 <flo> clokep_work: yes, giving more weight to people who have talked recently, and deciding to use the most likely completion if the difference in likeliness is big enough
17:25:54 <deOmega> ah.    great.    can we mark the old one  duplicate or something to have less bugs?  hehe
17:26:00 <deOmega> can i do  that?
17:26:26 <deOmega> the newer one is  more encompassing i think
17:26:48 <deOmega> err.. more solution specific hehe
17:27:04 <flo> I'm not sure they are really the same
17:27:32 <deOmega> OK.
17:27:36 <flo> when busy I would like the conversations to not open and wait for the user no longer being busy
17:27:48 <flo> but even when available, stealing the focus is aggressive
17:31:50 <flo> the download counter reached 40,000 today :)
17:33:01 <clokep_work> Yes, I guess you're right. :)
17:33:35 <clokep_work> I guess I meant they have the exact same proposed solution. But we can probably do something smarter for 406 one.
17:33:43 * fabrice is now known as fabrice|afk
17:33:44 <clokep_work> s/ one//
17:34:05 <clokep_work> flo: It should also weight less people that are "away".
17:34:27 <flo> can they be both talking and away?
17:34:28 <clokep_work> We should mark people away if they have "away" or "afk" or "lunch" or "zzz" in their nick. ;)
17:34:45 <clokep_work> I think so.
17:34:47 <flo> not localizable
17:34:56 <clokep_work> I was joking.
17:35:11 <clokep_work> (And you could localize it...)
17:35:44 <clokep_work> And even if they're away it's a valid target to talk to...just most likely not who you're trying to talk to...
17:39:30 <flo> clokep_work: it would need to be localized in the locale of the person you are talking to, not the locale of the user :-P
17:39:52 <Mook_as> clokep_work: you just don't like talking to seamonkey developers :P
17:39:55 <deOmega> I like the idea of doing something   special for each bug.. sounds really exciting .. and hopeful.
17:40:43 <clokep_work> flo: Ah, you're right. :( My bad.
17:40:51 <clokep_work> Mook_as: Pretty much. :)
