One-string description is way better than 2-strings description, imho 10:32:43 <-- iLobster has quit (Quit: Instantbird 0.2b1pre) 10:39:30 <Mic> hmm, is iLobster a native speaker? 10:39:48 <flo> I think he is Russian, but I may be wrong on that :) 10:41:03 <flo> but well, maybe we can consider it the other way around, instead of wondering "is it great?" I can ask myself "can it be worse than the current horrible string?" :) 10:41:24 <flo> maybe I should just commit it before the beta... 10:49:26 <-- Mic has quit (Quit: Leaving.) 10:50:22 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 10:50:30 <flo> ok, lunch time! :) 10:50:53 --> iLobster has joined #instantbird 10:51:08 <Mic> Still, there must be a native speaker out there ;) 10:51:32 <iLobster> yes, i'm from Russia 10:52:36 <flo> it seems we are all "Europeans" (not sure Russia is in Europe...) ;) Especially at this time of the day 11:07:19 <iLobster> Yahoo IM use "Enable alert sounds"; ICQ have "select sound mode" with "silent" option; QIP 2005 have "Disable sounds" checkbox... but in all these IMs there is the list of sounds/// 11:18:28 <iLobster> heh, just checked wikipedia - "December 2, 1956 â The Granma yacht reaches the shores of Cuba's Oriente province and Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and 80 other members of the 26th of July Movement disembark to initiate the Cuban Revolution". Good day for nightly (20091202) goes to 0.2beta1 ;-) 11:20:08 <iLobster> Viva La Instantbird =) 11:23:26 <iLobster> gtg 11:23:30 <-- iLobster has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox 3.5.5/20091102152451]) 11:51:47 --> Morian_ has joined #instantbird 11:53:28 <-- Morian has quit (Ping timeout) 11:57:37 --> Morian has joined #instantbird 11:58:51 <-- Morian_ has quit (Ping timeout) 12:21:46 <flo> back later :) 12:21:50 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 0.2b1pre) 12:26:54 --> Morian_ has joined #instantbird 12:27:51 <-- Morian has quit (Ping timeout) 14:32:41 * Morian_ is now known as Morian 14:54:00 --> flo has joined #instantbird 14:54:00 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 15:04:44 --> Tro has joined #instantbird 15:05:56 <Tro> hi 15:06:07 <flo> hi 15:09:48 <Tro> You have tested Pidgin 2.6.4 (and libpurple)? 15:10:43 <Tro> flo 15:10:47 <flo> is there anything I should test in that pidgin release? 15:11:04 <flo> You know, I tend to use Instantbird as my IM client ;) 15:12:45 <Tro> You said that new versions are very crashes. How do you check? 15:13:22 <flo> first I try it myself (which I said I've already done). Second, we put them in nightlies an look at the crash reports received in the next few days/weeks. 15:13:38 <flo> and we hear people complaining here about crashes. 15:15:08 <Tro> Way, flo, how to change the topic in the rooms and see their list (IRC). How did you get? 15:31:35 <Tro> But such a transfer to a new platform can be done pre-betas are very unstable. Maybe you should create a separate branch (Trunk?) for such experiments? After all, as you said, the current night build (0.2b1pre) more stable than current stable release (0.1.3.1). Beta - it's still not the alpha, and it is possible that interest for betas (and possibly even pre-betas!) Increase dramatically, and the instability can scare users. In this case, you'd 15:31:50 <-- Tro has left #instantbird () 15:32:55 --> Tro has joined #instantbird 15:42:06 <flo> what you said was cut after "In this case, you'd" 15:42:53 <flo> people who fear instability should not use nightlies. We make them as stable a reasonably possible. If they sometimes break... well, that's the exact point of nightlies: breaking now as soon as possible, rather than discovering the issue once it's in a real release 15:44:41 <Tro> flo, sorry, I urgently need to go. See you later! 15:44:42 <-- Tro has left #instantbird () 16:01:48 <-- Desiderius has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox 3.5.2/20090729211829]) 16:01:53 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 0.2b1pre) 17:41:30 --> Morian_ has joined #instantbird 17:41:47 --> flo has joined #instantbird 17:41:47 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 17:42:49 <-- Morian has quit (Ping timeout) 17:49:03 --> DetroitLibertyPenguin has joined #instantbird 17:53:38 <-- Mic has quit (Quit: Leaving.) 18:01:31 * BinaryOutcast is now known as MattATobin 18:06:35 --> Morian has joined #instantbird 18:07:50 <-- Morian_ has quit (Ping timeout) 19:20:16 --> idechix has joined #instantbird 19:29:18 --> m513901 has joined #instantbird 19:29:23 <-- m513901 has left #instantbird () 20:32:03 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 20:46:21 <-- Mic has quit (Quit: Instantbird 0.2b1pre) 20:48:22 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 20:54:01 <-- Mic has left #instantbird () 20:56:29 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 21:24:33 <Mic> .. we really need a show log folder button. 21:28:24 <flo> you think we really need it before we release the beta? 21:30:05 <Mic> I was just a little annoyed because I had to look up something 21:52:39 * flo reboots :( 21:52:50 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 0.2b1pre) 22:13:14 <-- Mic has left #instantbird () 22:17:09 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 22:22:37 --> flo has joined #instantbird 22:22:37 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 22:25:53 <Mic> flo: if there's no specific reason why smiley.dtd and messagestyle.dtd are in the main content locale directory, then I'd move them into the preferences folder 22:26:21 <Mic> That's maybe just a legacy of the old emoticon and messagestyle windows? 22:26:34 <Mic> *dialogs 22:26:41 <flo> yes, that's the reason 22:27:18 <flo> I "feared" translators would not notice the move, and have to retranslate the whole files. 22:27:34 <flo> but that doesn't make a lot of sense given that we only have an experimental french locale at this point... 22:29:09 <Mic> ok, .. 22:29:10 <flo> and it's not even clear why we would need 2 separate .dtd files 22:31:27 <Mic> I can merge them when I move them .. 22:32:20 <flo> you are working on the de locale already? 22:33:27 --> GeekShadow has joined #instantbird 22:33:35 <Mic> No 22:33:59 <Mic> I did some work on the prefwindow 22:34:16 <Mic> I added links to the addons page on the message styles tab and the emoticons tab 22:34:43 <flo> cool :) 22:34:47 <Mic> And put a moz-appearance: listbox on the browser window 22:35:33 <Mic> (ie same border as the emoticons list, though I don't know whether this has some side effects or not) 22:36:01 <flo> I hope blind users won't see the preview as a listbox :) 22:38:04 <Mic> http://wiki.instantbird.org/File:Emoticons.png 22:39:01 <Mic> I think the place next to the selection box is good, other option would be to put it in the lower right corner which would increase the vertical size 22:39:14 <flo> have you copied the code from the add-ons manager? 22:39:30 <Mic> I copied the code from the engineManager 22:39:52 <flo> ok :) 22:40:03 <Mic> It uses preference values with %LOCALE%, %APP% in the url .. 22:40:11 <Mic> I think I did it properly ;) 22:40:15 <flo> :) 22:41:00 <Mic> btw the message style preference names are inconsistent 22:41:01 <flo> which url does it point to? 22:41:45 <Mic> https://addons.instantbird.org/%LOCALE%/%APP%/browse/type:1/cat:5 22:42:01 <Mic> That is .. emoticons, I think 22:42:50 <flo> I think we have a more explicit URL for that 22:42:51 <Mic> Somewhere "add-ons.instant..." is used, which doesn't work with these categories 22:44:37 <flo> we should add something similar to extensions.getMoreThemesURL;https://add-ons.instantbird.org/%LOCALE%/%APP%/%VERSION%/themes/ 22:44:39 <Mic> ah, the search engines/dictionaries/new extensions urls are pointing to "add-ons.instant..." 22:46:47 <flo> apparently we only have: extensions/ themes/ dictionaries/ search-engines/ plugins/ configured on the server :-/ 22:46:54 --> GeekShado_ has joined #instantbird 22:47:28 <Mic> I think we should fix the subdomain issue 22:47:38 <flo> the subdomain issue? 22:47:52 <Mic> Both addons and add-ons are existing 22:47:59 <flo> and are different, yes 22:48:09 <-- GeekShadow has quit (Ping timeout) 22:48:32 <flo> add-ons is used for redirections, so that we can count how many people came to the addon website from links in the application 22:48:46 <flo> and also, so that we can change the structure of the real site with only a server side change :) 22:49:07 <Mic> ok 22:49:49 <flo> there's also services.instantbird.org to handle the get addons tab 22:49:58 <flo> I don't remember all the details :-/ 22:50:02 <flo> but that was painful at the time ;) 22:51:26 <flo> apparently it's easy to add additional redirections :) 22:52:34 <Mic> btw the preferences branch is called "messenger.options.messagesStyle" 22:53:41 <Mic> The additional "s" in messagesStyle is different from the other use of the term 22:53:50 <flo> :( 22:58:13 <-- idechix has quit (Quit: Instantbird 0.2b1pre) 22:59:27 * flo wonders if we should change these 2 dtd files before the beta or if we can do it just after 23:02:05 <Mic> The messagestyle.dtd from todays nightly contains some strings that aren't in my copy of hg 23:02:35 <Mic> Namely the noPreview.* strings 23:02:58 <Mic> Have they been removed? 23:04:13 <flo> they were added yesterday 23:04:36 <Mic> hmm, I updated hg right before starting to work on it .. :S 23:04:44 <flo> used for that: http://queze.net/goinfre/safe-mode-no-preview.png http://queze.net/goinfre/safe-mode-no-preview-win.png 23:05:15 <flo> not sure how it works with the tortoiseHg UI, but from the command line, you should "hg pull" before you "hg update" 23:05:56 <Mic> Where do default values for preferences go, btw? 23:06:10 <flo> a file called all-instantbird.js 23:06:29 <flo> in instantbird/app/<something (I don't remember the full path)> 23:07:00 <Mic> k 23:08:03 <flo> if there's no objection, I think I'll change the version number tomorrow, and create a first set a "release candidates" of the beta tomorrow. 23:09:38 <Mic> ie no new features, just bug fixing on them? 23:11:50 <flo> there'll be a beta2 23:11:58 <flo> so, we are still adding features before 0.2 final 23:12:02 <flo> if that's the question 23:14:21 <flo> I'd like to release the beta1 as soon as possible so that we can start making "dangerous" changes again on nightlies. The first one will be the upgrade of libpurple 23:15:20 <flo> then, I want to change a few things in the way libpurple is built. It'd like to try building with 32bit time_t on Windows. And I'll try a different way of loading protocol plugins so that it can be more suitable for packaging in linux distributions. 23:15:47 <flo> I'll also work a bit on the buddy list 23:16:37 <flo> hmm, it's late already. Good night :) 23:20:26 <Mic> Good night 23:20:37 <Mic> I'll post a diff with my patch on pastebin later 23:25:06 --> GeekShadow has joined #instantbird 23:25:11 <-- GeekShado_ has quit (Ping timeout) 23:40:37 <Mic> Here's the diff: 23:40:38 <Mic> http://pastebin.instantbird.com/118 23:50:49 <-- Mic has left #instantbird () 23:52:54 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 23:54:14 <Mic> "Get more message themes..." should be "Get more message styles..." 23:54:39 <Mic> I'll fix it myself if there's anything else that you think should be changed 23:54:44 <Mic> Good night 23:54:49 <-- Mic has left #instantbird ()
