I have a quick question about instantbird 12:31:46 <rob_> oh, actually, make that a suggestion. I think the linux tarball should have a README file, even if it just says "put all these files in /usr/bin/" 12:32:55 <Mic> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients#Features 12:33:06 <Mic> lol @ "Number of Features Included" 12:34:08 <Mic> I think .. we have .. 13.0844 features? Approximately. 12:36:32 <clokep> rob_: I'm no Linux guru, but I think it depends how your distro is set up? 12:37:12 <clokep> Mic: I've mostly handled that article for Instantbird actually. :P At least the protocols part. 12:38:07 <clokep> Are you adding it onto the Features table? If not I'll do it. 12:38:07 <Mic> Cool, I was surprised that it already said 1.0 there :) 12:38:18 <Mic> No, I won't 12:38:23 <clokep> All I'm doing is watching Jurassic Park III...which is an awful disappointment to the first two. ;) 12:41:58 <clokep> Do we support "scripting"? 12:42:02 <clokep> Not really... 12:43:46 <Mic> Does this mean that we have to add a limited DSL for instantmessage related scripting? ;) 12:44:26 <clokep> OK, I added it to that table. 12:48:23 <rob_> clokep: Yeah it does depend, but then the readme should say that; "Put this wherever you put your binaries (often /usr/bin/) and run the file 'instantbird' to start". It's just that you almost never see a linux software tarball being distributed without at least some kind of readme 12:48:43 * clokep doesn't know. 12:48:48 <clokep> I'd suggest filing a bug? :) 12:48:56 <flo> why wouldn't we support scripting when add-ons can be build in non-compiled code? 12:49:25 <flo> rob_: do you know if/what Firefox includes in its tarball? 12:49:42 <clokep> Because we don't have scripting interface I would think. Idk tables on Wikipedia are really vague cause they don't give explanations of each column.' 12:49:59 <rob_> I've always installed it from a repository or had it installed by default on the OS. I can check though 12:50:23 <flo> clokep: "You'd still end up running another version of xulrunner, you just save a little hard drive space..." What he said may not be as stupid as it seems. If the .dll files loaded (especially libxul which is the huge one) are the same, they are only once in the shared memory. 12:50:51 <flo> clokep: .idl files are exactly scripting interfaces ;) 12:51:03 <flo> and you can paste scripts in the error console 12:51:45 <clokep> flo: Ah, I wasn't thinking of the shared libraries. 12:52:04 <rob_> @flo: just checked, FF comes with a readme.txt that just says "For information about installing, running and configuring Firefox 12:52:07 <rob_> including a list of known issues and troubleshooting information, 12:52:10 <flo> clokep: but it's clearly totally uninteresting for us to use -app ;) 12:52:10 <rob_> refer to: http://getfirefox.com/releases/", which is better than nothing 12:52:36 <rob_> apologies for unexpected newlines in copy-paste 12:52:56 <clokep> :) 12:53:04 <flo> http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/app/README.txt?force=1 http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/locales/en-US/README.txt?force=1 12:53:10 <flo> it's not really clear which is used 12:53:15 <clokep> It'd be really hard for us to do that though, since there's SO many versions of Firefox out there then. 12:53:20 <clokep> But I guess it's an interesting idea. 12:53:37 <flo> uh? 12:55:43 <clokep> I wouldn't expect all of our code to work exactly the same with Firefox 4, 5, 6, and 7 is my point. 12:57:16 <flo> I didn't understand the "it's an interesting idea." part 12:58:39 <clokep> Running Instantbird via Firefox. 12:58:45 <clokep> I 100% forgot you could even do that. 12:59:26 <clokep> > 2800 update pings yesterday! 12:59:40 <flo> that was Thursday 12:59:54 <clokep> OK. 12:59:55 <rob_> That was something I actually wondered about when first reading about it (very new to instantbird btw), is there any benefit to running both instantbird and FF? Can they share any resources? 13:01:07 <flo> rob_: when one crashes (or restarts for an add-on install) the other one keeps running 13:04:12 <flo> clokep: I don't think the -app thing is actually usable for anything 13:05:09 <flo> Firefox doesn't care about other profiles being currently running when it updates itself, so it probably wouldn't care either about other applications using its runtime ;) 13:06:26 <clokep> That really wouldn't work if you're running a nightly then. :-D 13:07:15 <flo> if it upgrade itself to an incompatible version of the runtime (even while the other app wasn't running), the other app is screwed 13:08:00 <flo> hmm, actually I think the -app could be interesting in a specific case: if you need to install both Firefox and Instantbird on a ROM (so where they will never be updated) with very limited space available 13:11:08 <-- mepine has quit (Quit: mepine) 13:11:47 --> aleth has joined #instantbird 13:11:51 <-- aleth has quit (Quit: aleth) 13:11:54 --> aleth has joined #instantbird 13:12:04 <clokep> That's an awfully specific use case. :) 13:12:30 <flo> it's a diplomatic way to answer it's useless :-P 13:12:51 <rob_> wouldn't it also be ok if you absolutely knew that they would be updated togather 13:13:05 <clokep> flo: In Makefiles what is $(APP_NAME)? Would that get replaced with like "Instantbird"? 13:13:32 * clokep is looking at the webrunner code. 13:13:42 <flo> probably something they defined themselves 13:13:50 <flo> I think we have MOZ_APP_NAME defined 13:13:55 <flo> but check lxr to be sure :) 13:14:29 <flo> rob_: yes, but I see no reason to assume that. 13:15:49 * clokep is looking at http://dev.salsitasoft.com/hg/public/webrunner/file/d343f3b2f8a9/components/public/Makefile.in#l48 13:15:49 <rob_> I was thinking of mobile devices, where you're more likely to have the combination of very limited system resources, and a very controlled software environment. It's still a very specific use case of course, but not hugely unlikely 13:16:40 <flo> rob_: it's almost what I said, both applications are in the "rom" 13:17:40 <flo> clokep: http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/instantbird/app/Makefile.in#349 13:17:58 <flo> seems to be the only place where we define/use it 13:18:09 <clokep> Alright.

As far as I know there had been some discussion about it. Also: Where can one enter suggestions for future development? 16:07:40 <clokep> Hello mic_mike! 16:08:09 <clokep> There's been discussion of import (and Pidgin we obviously know the format of the profile, since it's open-source), but there hasn't been any code written for any importer yet. 16:08:22 <clokep> You can enter suggestions and bugs at http://bugzilla.instantbird.org ! 16:08:43 <clokep> If you'd like to bounce an idea around in here to flesh it out a bit before filing a suggestions, feel free. :) (And please search before filing any bugs/comments! :)) 16:12:24 <mic_mike> Thank you clokep - too bad that there's no importer yet, but hopefully that will change in the future :-). Until then I can configure Instantbird :-). I was kind of surprised after I read about Instantbird today, as I never heard anything about it, but it seems to be existing since 2007! Regarding my suggestion: I wondered whether it is possible to show up the previous sent message in the message textbox by pressing Alt+Arror Up or s 16:13:08 <clokep> mic_mike: I know there's a bug filed about it, and in fact someone made an extension to do that! https://addons.instantbird.org/en-US/instantbird/addon/278 16:13:36 <clokep> Yes, well we jumped the version number up to 1.0 (since it's been quite usable for a while), and that seems to have goten the word out more. 16:13:44 <mic_mike> Ah, fantastic, thanks! 16:13:47 <clokep> (I can find the bug number if you'd like also. :)) 16:14:47 <clokep> Ah, it's bug 778. 16:14:50 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778 enh, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Input history on conversations 16:16:38 <mic_mike> Is there some more 'advertising' planned with the release of v1.0? As I had the feeling Instantbird is still rather unknown. 16:16:51 <mic_mike> While already having a lot of features and no major bugs. 16:17:31 <clokep> We've emailed a lot of blogs and have been featured on some rather big ones, I'm not sure if we really plan to do too much. Someone is working on a marketing plan though. 16:17:44 <clokep> And of course we'd appreciate if you tell all your friends (if you like it, of course!). :) 16:19:26 <mic_mike> I will, as soon as I have made my own impression - but so far, I like it. Especially that there already seem to be many addons available, while Pidgin's development seems to be rather slow nowadays. 16:19:27 <mic_mike> /afk eating 16:20:36 <clokep> Yeah, addons are very easy to make! (And if someone knows how to make a Firefox extension, they should be able to make an Instantbird one very easily.) 16:48:28 <mic_mike> Is it possible to hide the main window from the taskbar, and only display an icon in the systray? 16:50:12 <clokep> No. Is that even possible at all? 16:50:18 <clokep> Like can any program do that? 16:50:31 <clokep> Which window are you trying to get rid of? 16:50:49 <mic_mike> Good question. Has been possible in Windows XP, but I don't know about 7. 16:51:05 * clokep doesn't even use the tray icon. 16:51:07 <clokep> So I'm not sure. 16:51:16 * clokep is ironically rewriting the tray icon code at this moment. ;) 16:51:22 <mic_mike> Yes, but I suppose it will in the future... 16:51:25 <mic_mike> :-)) 16:52:43 <clokep> Which window are you trying to do that with? So you want the window to actually be active but have nothing in the taskbar? 16:53:39 --> aleth has joined #instantbird 16:54:35 <mic_mike> Exactly. Maybe you know Miranda, which works how I prefer it. The main window should be active, but there should not be any entry in the taskbar itself. One can minimize/open the main window by double clicking the tray icon or similar. 16:55:25 <clokep> Bah that breaks so many OS guidelines... 16:55:40 <clokep> I don't know of a way to do that, it could probably be done in an extension. 16:55:49 <clokep> We definitely don't support that out of the box though. 16:57:49 <mic_mike> Okay, I don't know about OS specific guidelines. I just know that this is an often requested option for Pidgin. Maybe it is possible using an extension, although I do not know how deeply extensions may intervene. 16:58:48 <clokep> Extensions have full access to everything when using the Mozilla platform. 17:00:25 <-- Andrey has quit (Quit: ) 17:01:34 <clokep> Sorry, I Just never really understood minimizing to the system tray, especially iwth Win7. 17:01:51 <mic_mike> Is there already a way to show the 'profile' of a buddy, e.g. thinks like resource name, priotrity, full name, birthday etc.? 17:02:41 <clokep> They're shown as tooltips on the buddy list or the tabs of the conversation. 17:02:58 <mic_mike> For me it makes sense because the buddy list is always open and therefore always reserves space in the taskbar... 17:03:32 <flo> so you like to keep the list always visible? 17:05:47 --> DGMurdockIII has joined #instantbird 17:05:58 <mic_mike> Ah I see, though not every information seems to be displayed or retrieved. 17:05:59 <mic_mike> @flo: Either that (while not permanently keeping it on top of everything), or toggleable by double clicking the still-in-development-tray-icon. 17:06:45 <flo> "toggleable by double clicking the still-in-development-tray-icon." isn't that the current default behavior? 17:07:03 <flo> ah no, you want to double click to hide too 17:07:05 <flo> ok 17:08:26 <mic_mike> It may be just because I'm accustomed to it because of various IM-clients/other programs, but as far as I experienced it is a often requested feature, while of course being a cosmetic one and therefore not that important :-) 17:09:09 <flo> mic_mike: people often request to not see the contacts list at all, except when starting a new conversation 17:09:14 <clokep> Double clicking it should toggle between showing and hiding, yes...I'm trying to figure out how to do that right now... 17:09:28 <mic_mike> I suppose the currently empty bar on the bottom of the contacts list will in future be used for status changes as in other clients? 17:10:28 <mic_mike> Is there no easy check for the current window visibilty? If it is visible, hide it, etc.? 17:10:37 <flo> it will be used to display which account are connected / if there are connection errors 17:11:01 <flo> clokep: close the window, and reopen it :) 17:11:17 <mic_mike> flo: Yes, but those two do not exclude each other. 17:11:43 <clokep> flo: Not helpful. :P 17:12:01 <flo> clokep: then, what's your problem? :) 17:12:02 <mic_mike> (Regarding contact list. But at the moment I suppose there are more pressing requests at the moment ;-).) 17:18:01 <clokep> My problem is that all this code is vaguely commented. :P 17:18:32 <flo> mine? 17:19:12 <clokep> No, the webrunner stuff. 17:19:23 <mic_mike> Instantbird is entirely written in Python, isn't it? 17:19:39 <clokep> Nothing is written in Python AFAIK. 17:19:45 <DGMurdockIII> why dont you guys use the chatzillla code for the yo improve the irc stuff on instantbird 17:19:59 <clokep> It's mostly C++/JavaScript/XUL. 17:20:05 <clokep> DGMurdockIII: Cause the cZ code is terrible. 17:20:16 <DGMurdockIII> oh ok 17:20:52 <clokep> I mean it works... 17:21:02 <clokep> But it's very old and doesn't take advantage of many of the newer features available ot us. 17:21:05 <mic_mike> Oh, really? Thought I've seen some .py-files in the tarball. Nevertheless, my knowledge is rather limited to Java at the moment. 17:21:27 <clokep> If you know one language you can write pretty much any of them. ;) It's just learning the syntax. 17:22:07 <mic_mike> Yes, that's basically true, but especially things like GUI programming often differs. 17:22:23 <clokep> Ah, true. I try to stay away from the UI. :) 17:22:52 <clokep> The UI is written in XUL (which is very similar to HTML), and scripting of the UI is in JavaScript. 17:24:43 <clokep> Anyway, if you're interested in helping we certainly don't mind helping people understand stuff. :) 17:26:23 <-- Tonnes has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 3.6.18/20110614230723]) 17:30:56 <mic_mike> At the moment studying/working eats my time, but I certainly will have a look at Mozilla addon programming. 17:33:06 <clokep> :) 17:34:37 <-- mic_mike has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.0) 17:34:41 --> mic_mike has joined #instantbird 17:42:32 --> werwolf has joined #instantbird 18:00:58 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 18:00:58 * ChanServ sets mode +h Mic 18:07:41 <-- aleth has left #instantbird () 18:08:29 <instantbot> New Instantbird (UI) bug 905 filed by jahkae@gmail.com. 18:08:31 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=905 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, Option to remove buddy list from taskbar. 18:09:12 --> deOmega has joined #instantbird 18:09:29 <deOmega> good day :) 18:10:47 <deOmega> You know.. one of the things that I always believed in, is that when a company gets a new employee.. they should give them a suggestion form that they fill out over the first few months. 18:11:05 <-- mic_mike has quit (Ping timeout) 18:11:22 <clokep> That would definitely not be part of the persistent system tray work. :P 18:11:38 <clokep> (Which I think might actually be like changing two lines of code, but I'm trying to switch to a better toolkit right now...) 18:11:40 --> mmkmou has joined #instantbird 18:11:45 <flo> deOmega: first few months? 18:11:51 <deOmega> UH OH lol 18:12:03 <deOmega> flo: continuing 18:12:14 <flo> I would expect the most interesting/surprising comments to come within a day or two, or maybe even the first hour 18:12:29 <flo> all the "Uh, WTF is that process designed for?" feelings ;) 18:12:35 <deOmega> I agree.. but those would be logged also. 18:13:11 <deOmega> However, as one gets deeper into teh job.. they may run across other surprises 18:13:26 <deOmega> Anyway, i say that to say... 18:13:38 <deOmega> I have been reading the log from teh new users 18:14:31 <deOmega> because i have now been using instantbird for so long.. i have forgotten about a lot of other functions.. because, I am not comfortable.. and in a sense.. i make do with what i have and not worry much about what i do not have. 18:14:48 <deOmega> However, it does not mean that those features are not wanted. 18:15:15 <deOmega> but it is amazing seeing these comments... just how much i have forgotten about and just how much i have made a home with IB.. just as it is 18:15:56 <deOmega> we really have to shy away from being complacent, and it is great that i do not see that with you guys at all. 18:17:44 <deOmega> It is also important that you guys do not steadfastly say.. heck, i do not use abc.. so the program does not need it... otherwise.. we would be becoming like 'Some developers make their programs the best for themselves and share it with you, for free...' 18:18:11 <deOmega> end. :) 18:19:22 <-- deOmega has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.1a1pre) 18:19:35 --> deOmega has joined #instantbird 18:20:09 <clokep> I need to go do some stuff, so have a good rest of the day! 18:20:18 <deOmega> thanks for the feedback clokep. now i need to uninstall those programs :) 18:20:27 <deOmega> you too. 18:20:29 <clokep> deOmega: Good luck! 18:20:45 <clokep> Yeah, I mean it's something we could work on, but it's not directly related to that tray icon stuff. :) 18:21:19 <deOmega> ok, i assumed that because of the toggling. Thank you 18:24:46 <clokep> Right, but they're not really related. 18:24:49 <clokep> Anyway I gotta go, ciao. 18:25:00 <flo> deOmega: if I made Instantbird only for me, there would clearly be no Windows version, as it's a painful system to work with ;) 18:25:42 <deOmega> haha. I know you are not :) 18:26:49 <deOmega> hey, the single click restore for the systemtray.. i thought it was built into the nightlies? I am not seeing an option for that .. and i use the nightlies. 18:27:05 <clokep> There's no option. 18:27:32 <deOmega> hmm, disabling your addon.. reverts me to doubleclick 18:27:36 <clokep> You have to change it in about config. 18:27:41 <deOmega> ah 18:27:44 <deOmega> OK 18:27:48 <clokep> Of course it'll revert you, the default behavior on Windows is double click. :) 18:27:50 <-- werwolf has quit (Ping timeout) 18:28:03 <clokep> the pref is extensions.mintrayr.singleClick or osmething like that. 18:28:05 <deOmega> I will stick with yoru addon lol 18:28:17 <clokep> It's extensions.mintrayr.singleClickRestore. 18:28:19 <clokep> You shouldn't. 18:28:27 <clokep> You should use the stuff built in if you're running nightlies. 18:28:40 <deOmega> ok, will do now 18:28:42 <clokep> Less stuff loaded that way. :P 18:28:45 --> linuxwizard has joined #instantbird 18:28:51 <clokep> Save those kbs of RAM! :-D 18:29:08 <deOmega> lol 18:29:24 <clokep> Plus I really don't want people to use that extension after 1.0. :) 18:29:31 <clokep> I don't want to have to support it. :-D 18:30:13 <clokep> If you really think we need UI for it, you can file a bug about it. 18:30:27 <clokep> But I'd rather not put UI for it since it abides by the OS expectations. 18:30:45 <clokep> Idk if flo has an opinion. 18:30:48 <clokep> Anyway, ciao. 18:30:50 <-- clokep has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.1a1pre) 18:31:26 <deOmega> ok. I have a bug filed i thought.. will revisit. thanks clokep. 18:32:33 <flo> I would prefer reducing the number of confusing preferences than adding more. If an UI is needed, an add-on would be fine for it :) 18:33:10 --> werwolf has joined #instantbird 18:35:59 <deOmega> ok, then i will leave bug as is :) 18:36:15 <-- werwolf has quit (Ping timeout) 18:36:58 <instantbot> New Instantbird (UI) bug 906 filed by aletheia2@fastmail.fm. 18:37:01 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, Show full versions of shortened URLs in tooltips 18:41:07 <deOmega> that would be a nice feature indeed... then clokep could use my shortened links :) 18:41:18 <deOmega> Have a great weekend 18:41:30 <-- deOmega has left #instantbird () 18:41:44 --> Mook has joined #instantbird 18:43:12 <-- mmkmou has left #instantbird () 18:43:32 --> werwolf has joined #instantbird 18:45:16 <-- werwolf has quit (Ping timeout) 18:48:20 --> werwolf has joined #instantbird 19:06:57 <-- skeledrew has quit (Ping timeout) 19:08:06 --> mic_mike has joined #instantbird 19:12:26 --> Tonnes has joined #instantbird 19:13:15 <mic_mike> http://blog.instantbird.org/a44-introducing-magic-copy.html That's kind of cool tbh :) 19:38:01 <-- mistraven has quit (Ping timeout) 20:01:07 --> skeledrew has joined #instantbird 20:08:06 --> mistraven has joined #instantbird 20:17:58 <-- skeledrew has quit (Ping timeout) 20:18:12 --> skeledrew has joined #instantbird 20:26:50 --> hicham has joined #instantbird 20:27:56 <flo> mic_mike: glad you like it :) 20:43:54 * Fan|away is now known as Fantasm 20:53:58 <-- Goncyn has quit (Ping timeout) 21:09:16 <-- hicham has quit (Ping timeout) 21:10:49 --> hicham has joined #instantbird 21:22:33 <-- skeledrew has quit (Ping timeout) 21:23:45 --> skeledrew has joined #instantbird 21:26:05 <Mic> good ngiht 21:26:06 <-- Mic has left #instantbird () 21:26:31 <-- hicham has quit (Client exited) 21:31:12 <-- harlock has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.0) 21:50:06 <-- werwolf has quit (Ping timeout) 22:05:51 <-- mic_mike has quit (Ping timeout) 22:17:47 * flo wonders how long it would take to rewrite the MSN plugin in JS. 22:26:46 --> DetoritLibertyPenguin has joined #instantbird 22:34:23 --> deOmega has joined #instantbird 22:36:28 <deOmega> flo.. is the even possible with iB.

Man, that is really the real beauty of IB. 22:42:47 <deOmega> It really boils down to setting transparency without affecting the text.. but full transparency, i recall was termed..
