You COULD make it compatible w/ both, however. 00:49:51 <skeledrew> k... 00:50:17 <clokep> You'd need to test the version and then keep your old code for versions < 1.2 and new code for versions >= 1.2 00:50:25 <clokep> Up to you whether it's worth it. :) 00:55:10 <-- aleth has quit (Input/output error) 01:00:17 <Mook_as> test for the contract id, not the version; so much easier :) 01:02:37 * clokep was thinking just use Services.core & then see if globalUserStatus exists on it... 01:06:47 <Mook_as> fine, come up with better answers. *pout* 01:34:27 <-- myk has quit (Ping timeout) 01:34:35 --> myk has joined #instantbird 01:35:09 <clokep> :) 01:45:54 <-- Mook_as has quit (Quit: gone) 01:49:38 <-- myk has quit (Input/output error) 02:00:05 * jwir3 is now known as jwir3|away 02:30:12 --> danols has joined #instantbird 03:07:10 --> Mook_ib has joined #instantbird 03:13:00 --> Mook has joined #instantbird 03:52:44 <instant-buildbot> build #420 of linux-nightly-default is complete: Success [build successful] Build details are at http://buildbot.instantbird.org/builders/linux-nightly-default/builds/420 04:52:57 <-- clokep has quit (Quit: Instantbird -- http://www.instantbird.com) 05:21:06 <-- Plop has quit (Ping timeout) 05:28:27 <instant-buildbot> build #506 of win32-nightly-default is complete: Success [build successful] Build details are at http://buildbot.instantbird.org/builders/win32-nightly-default/builds/506 05:38:04 --> Plop has joined #instantbird 06:26:48 <-- Mook has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87-rdmsoft [XULRunner 6.0/20110811165603]) 06:44:34 --> jb has joined #instantbird 06:53:49 <instant-buildbot> build #410 of macosx-nightly-default is complete: Success [build successful] Build details are at http://buildbot.instantbird.org/builders/macosx-nightly-default/builds/410 07:05:54 <-- jb has quit (Ping timeout) 07:10:12 <-- Mook_ib has quit (Ping timeout) 07:55:54 <instantbot> New Core - General bug 1325 filed by pvdeejay@gmail.com. 07:56:00 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1325 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, Problems getting display name for ICQ contacts in some cases 08:12:15 <-- Plop has quit (Ping timeout) 08:19:01 --> Plop has joined #instantbird 08:54:08 <-- Plop has quit (Ping timeout) 09:01:22 --> Plop has joined #instantbird 09:06:16 <-- Plop has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.1) 09:39:21 --> mmkmou has joined #instantbird 09:40:34 --> sonny has joined #instantbird 09:59:38 --> jb has joined #instantbird 10:03:21 --> aleth has joined #instantbird 10:03:21 * ChanServ sets mode +h aleth 10:05:22 <-- jb has quit (Ping timeout) 10:05:31 --> jb has joined #instantbird 10:17:48 --> flo has joined #instantbird 10:17:48 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 10:31:10 <flo> hello :) 10:31:59 <instantbot> aletheia2@fastmail.fm cancelled review?(clokep@gmail.com) for attachment 1231 on bug 1321. 10:32:00 <instantbot> aletheia2@fastmail.fm requested review from clokep@gmail.com for attachment 1232 on bug 1321. 10:32:02 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1321 min, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Display name is lower case for IRC DMs 10:32:21 <aleth> hello :) 10:34:39 <flo> each time I attempt to resume a VM I wish my laptop had 8GB or ram :( 10:34:45 <flo> *of 10:36:38 <aleth> are you thinking of getting a new one? ;) 10:36:43 <flo> ah, I didn't have time to comment in that bug before you updated the patch. 10:37:01 <aleth> I'm not really happy with that patch. 10:37:14 <flo> I wanted to say after clokep's comment that if the normalizeNick method is a shortcut for calling .normalize on the account, the best name is probably normalize 10:37:25 <flo> but that's a nit :) 10:37:39 <flo> let's see if clokep has more comments on the logic before updating again to change that detail :) 10:38:02 <aleth> Yeah, there's also a normalizedName in one of the classes in that file, just to add to the confusion 10:38:10 <flo> aleth: "are you thinking of getting a new one? ;)" I somehow hope I'll eventually get one from Mozilla for my Thunderbird work. 10:38:26 <aleth> flo: Lets hope so! 10:38:50 <aleth> They should give you the tools for the job ;) 10:38:54 <flo> the normalizedName readonly attributes are usually for constructing the log file's path 10:39:35 <aleth> Yes, it's something different again. Just a lot of *normalize*... 10:40:09 <flo> it's the usual normalize I think (= get something uniquely identifying the thing whose name is normalized) 10:50:22 --> testtb-win has joined #instantbird 10:52:44 <-- testtb-win has quit (Quit: testtb-win) 11:18:10 --> clokep has joined #instantbird 11:18:10 * ChanServ sets mode +o clokep 11:26:55 <clokep> aleth: Ideally we'd want to just update the name of the conversation when we receive that info from the server. 11:27:13 <clokep> But I don' tthink you can do that with a conversation. 11:27:38 <aleth> Yes, that was an earlier comment/question on my bug, I don't know a way to do that. 11:28:31 <aleth> It's what I don't like about the patch. It seems it like it should be fixed in ircConversation. 11:28:33 <clokep> flo: Is it possible to update the name of a conversation after it'sinitialized? 11:29:18 <flo> the name no (but it should probably be normalized anyway), the title yes 11:29:28 <flo> the title is what is displayed in the UI 11:29:58 <clokep> OK, so then that's all we really care about. 11:30:15 <clokep> (Yes, the name should be normalized.) 11:31:45 <aleth> How do you get the info from the server? Does it need to be explicitly requested? 11:33:32 <clokep> aleth: I'd say get it lazily when you receive a message from the server. 11:33:51 <clokep> I think what would work best...move all that logic trying to guess the proper name to the constructor of the conversation. 11:34:25 <clokep> Then when we receive a message on that conversation, check if the incoming nick is the same as the title of the conversation, if not...change the title of the conversation. 11:34:25 <aleth> Yes, that's what I wanted to do. But you really need to ping the server for the info explicitly? 11:34:35 <clokep> Why? 11:34:39 <aleth> I dislike the idea of changing the title only after a message is received 11:35:07 <clokep> You could run a whois probably. 11:35:21 <aleth> On NickServ too? 11:35:30 <clokep> No. 11:35:41 <clokep> Do not depend on NickServ for this. 11:35:46 <clokep> It's not part of the protocol. 11:36:06 <aleth> Still, it would be nice to have a solution that works always... 11:37:05 <clokep> I'd say a WHO or a WHOIS command most likely... 11:37:23 <clokep> (WHOIS is actually nice because we'll cache the tooltip info for the convversation as well...) 11:37:46 <clokep> You can look through http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812 for ideas. ;) 11:38:10 <aleth> Currently the whois info is not reused for conversation tooltips actually. 11:38:27 <clokep> Right, but it will be eventually.. 11:38:34 <aleth> Ah :) 11:38:45 <clokep> It should be. :P 11:39:04 <clokep> I think conversation tooltips don't work at all right now, irhgt? 11:39:13 <aleth> Remarkable how involved a minor issue like fixing the case of a string can get :P 11:39:20 <flo> j b suggested to me today that we add "add buddy" to the context menu of a tab (obviously when we are having a private conversation with someone not in the contact list yet) 11:39:41 <clokep> j b +1 11:39:42 <aleth> flo: Makes sense 11:39:50 <flo> and I think "[ ] auto-join" (a checkable menuitem) would be nice for chatrooms 11:40:05 <flo> (even though we want to get rid of the auto-join feature eventually) 11:40:15 <aleth> Do the latter first, then see if it's still needed? 11:40:17 <flo> do we have bugs on file for these 2 things? 11:40:31 <clokep> Not that I know of. 11:42:49 <clokep> flo: The reason for not naming that method "normalize" btw is that it takes into account the user prefixes. 11:43:21 <flo> does that change the way it's used? 11:43:39 <clokep> I'd need to check whether we always want to do that or not. 11:43:45 <clokep> If not, then it should just be normalize. 11:43:59 <clokep> (Just saying there was a reason behind my commnet!0 11:44:51 <flo> clokep: I read your comment as "get<blabla>" isn't a good name for something that isn't getting info from the object 11:44:54 <flo> and I agreed :) 11:45:39 <aleth> Well, as the whole thing is going to be redone anyway (as I expected), no need to argue yet ;) 11:48:13 <clokep> aleth: I have other comments too. 11:48:16 <clokep> So don't redo it all yet. :) 11:49:03 <clokep> Hmmm...actually...maybe I don't... 11:49:31 <aleth> Please comment before I look at it again it this evening ;) 11:51:25 <clokep> I'll do it when I get to work... 11:51:28 <clokep> Bye! 11:51:29 <-- clokep has quit (Quit: Instantbird -- http://www.instantbird.com) 11:51:29 <aleth> The one thing that came to mind is the relation to the other bug, to set the status correctly. If that requires a periodic poll of the server anyway, then maybe its not necessary to do a separate whois for the title. 11:51:53 <aleth> Hope clokep sees that ^^ 11:52:12 <flo> as long as instantbot is in here, you can assume he will :) 12:04:39 <flo> is there any reason for keeping the "Welcome" first step of the Instantbird account wizard? 12:05:01 <flo> (Blake asked me to remove it in the Thunderbird fork of that window) 12:05:33 <flo> ah well, I guess it makes some sense to have that step when it's the very first window that appears during the first start on a new profile 12:18:39 <aleth> flo: Maybe only show it in that case? 12:18:56 <aleth> It's true it's in the way otherwise 12:19:17 <flo> aleth: I would like that. I don't know if we have an easy way to detect that we are in that case (I haven't looked at the code) 12:20:00 <aleth> Possibly localstore.rdf is absent?

There are error messages in those four DMs, right? 18:55:39 <Mic|web> The console will show all raw messages sent and received from the server then 18:55:49 <myk> aleth: yes, the same error message 18:57:00 <myk> Mic|web: hmm, ok 18:57:17 <myk> Mic|web: i'll wait until a bug fixer asks me for those messages :-) 19:00:47 <instantbot> New Core - IRC bug 1326 filed by myk@mozilla.org. 19:00:51 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1326 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, " ERRMSG action :Unhandled CTCP command " from some users with empty /me on IRC 19:01:04 <myk> aleth: there ya go :-) 19:01:57 <aleth> myk: Thanks! 19:04:41 <aleth> myk: By the way, you can already get some whois info by hovering over a nick in the participant list 19:05:01 * jwir3|lunch is now known as jwir3 19:05:24 <myk> aleth: ooh! thanks, that's helpful! 19:07:44 <aleth> Ideally the UI will be good enough so you don't need to remember commands ;) 19:16:35 <myk> aleth: erm, for me the best UI is a command line 19:16:55 <myk> aleth: because it's the most efficient one 19:17:10 <aleth> That exists as well of course... just not completely finished for all commands 19:17:26 <aleth> If you spot anything missing, file a bug ;) 19:17:31 * myk just discovered that /query and /msg aren't implemented, which is pretty critical 19:17:39 <aleth> They are implemented 19:17:47 <Mic|web> ./msg should work iirc 19:17:54 <myk> 11:16:00 - /query is not a supported command. Type /help to see the list of commands. 19:17:58 <aleth> try "/help msg" 19:18:02 <myk> 11:16:12 - /msg is not a supported command. Type /help to see the list of commands. 19:18:20 <myk> hmm, now it worked 19:18:36 <myk> hunh, i wonder why it didn't work before 19:18:55 * Mook_as suspects that's the reply from the server 19:18:55 <myk> ah, i get that "not a supported command" message if i don't enter a message 19:19:07 <myk> i.e. if i do simply: /msg someone 19:19:14 <aleth> Ah, that sounds like a small bug then 19:19:45 <aleth> Well spotted :D 19:19:50 <Mic|web> Did that work with libpurple irc actually? 19:19:59 <myk> looks like /query also works if you include a message 19:20:03 <aleth> Sure. 19:21:40 <instantbot> New Core - IRC bug 1327 filed by aletheia2@fastmail.fm. 19:21:42 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1327 min, --, ---, nobody, NEW, IRC commands (/msg, /query) are "not supported" when missing parameters 19:21:53 <-- sonny has quit (Client exited) 19:22:14 <myk> aleth: woot! 19:22:30 <aleth> It's misleading... 19:25:45 <Mic|web> bye 19:25:51 <-- Mic|web has left #instantbird () 19:25:53 * aleth was going to use the whois realname for the DM display name, but it turns out it is often set to "None" or "www.mibbit.com" or "country 8 *" :( 19:29:56 <aleth> Thanks for stress-testing the nightly myk - it's good to find these things early ;) 19:30:08 <myk> aleth: sure thing! 19:31:27 <-- chrisccoulson has quit (Connection reset by peer) 19:31:47 --> chrisccoulson has joined #instantbird 19:54:48 --> flo has joined #instantbird 19:54:48 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 19:58:58 <aleth> It seems /whowas is not quite implemented either, despite appearing in the commands list 20:03:22 <flo> so bug 1327 is really 2 different bugs: 1. syntax errors in commands should show the help for that command, not say the comment doesn't exist. 2. /msg and /query on IRC should open an empty conversation when executed without message. 20:03:25 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1327 min, --, ---, nobody, NEW, IRC commands (/msg, /query) are "not supported" when missing parameters 20:04:20 <aleth> flo: Yes, actually 2) is a separate bug that hasn't been filed yet, I meant to earlier 20:05:29 <flo> great :) 20:05:39 <flo> aleth: if you want to attach the patch, that would be nice too 20:05:44 <flo> it's probably easy :) 20:06:23 <aleth> Probably... but I'm still tracking through the code of the whois stuff 20:07:12 <Mook_as> hmm, would it be possible to make conversations always show up in the "hidden conversations" bit, even when they're visible? 20:07:22 <Mook_as> (... yeah, that sounds stupid, doesn't it?) 20:07:59 <aleth> Sounds like an add-on actually ;) 20:08:15 <Mook_as> well, I want it for my addon ;) 20:08:24 <Mook_as> (since I decided my current code, which fakes buddies, is wrong) 20:10:19 <instantbot> New Core - IRC bug 1328 filed by aletheia2@fastmail.fm. 20:10:22 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1328 min, --, ---, nobody, NEW, /msg <nick> should open an empty conversation tab 20:13:42 --> Mnyromyr has joined #instantbird 20:14:31 <clokep_work> aleth: myk I don't think /whois is wanted. 20:15:16 <aleth> clokep_work: You filed the bug ;) 20:15:43 <flo> clokep_work: I think you said you wanted to know the review comments I would receive for the JS-IRC part of the IM-in-Tb patch, it's been reviewed today: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714733#c55 20:15:45 <aleth> Anyway, I only need to understand that code for the display name saga 20:15:56 <myk> clokep_work: erm, why not? 20:16:28 <flo> Mook_as: your request sounds very much like an all-in-one-window add-on ;) 20:16:44 <flo> Mook_as: I think you should look at my Thunderbird IM UI, by the way :) 20:16:45 <Mook_as> gee, ya think? ;) 20:17:03 <Mook_as> I probably should, yeah, but I have... other issues with thunderbird 20:17:04 <clokep_work> flo: I saw. Is it inappropriate for me to reply in that bug? 20:17:09 <flo> it's possible that what you want is just to package all these files in an add-on ;) 20:17:23 <Mook_as> it doesn't like my mozilla checkins rss feed very well (too many items, I think) and thus has horrible performance 20:17:31 <flo> Mook_as: I wasn't suggesting using Thunderbird. Just looking at the UI, and stealing the files 20:17:35 <Mook_as> ah, you mean use that for ib. interesting 20:17:46 <clokep_work> myk: Because I don't see any added value in it + it doesn't really fit into Instantbird well. 20:17:58 <Mook_as> then yeah, I definitely should 20:18:00 <clokep_work> If someone wishes to display a /whois on the command line it could be done trivially with an extension. 20:18:06 <clokep_work> I'll think about it more though. 20:18:27 <clokep_work> aleth: You don't need to understand much of that code. :) 20:18:54 <flo> Mook_as: it's all in a single Thunderbird tab, so that could all go into a single window. 20:19:07 <flo> Mook_as: the major thing you lose compared to Instantbird is the tags in the contact list. 20:19:08 <aleth> clokep_work: The whois messages are straightforward, its more about finding the most elegant solution 20:19:13 <myk> clokep_work: hmm, it seems consistent with support for other IRC commands 20:19:54 <myk> clokep_work: and while instantbird may focus more on the needs of graphical interface users, surely there's some room to meet the needs of the more textually oriented among us? 20:19:57 <aleth> or s/most/sufficiently 20:20:23 <aleth> Actually, it might be good to have /whois for accessibility reasons 20:20:35 <flo> myk, clokep_work: what's the request about that whois command exactly and what's your point of view on it? I got lost on the discussion, wondering if you aren't both saying the same thing differently :) 20:20:57 <clokep_work> flo: myk wants a /whois command that displays the results in the conversation you typed it. 20:21:36 <clokep_work> 1. I have no way of knowing if a WHOIS response is from a command issued by /whois or via the UI. 2. I have no idea what conversation originally issued the command when parsing the reponse. 20:22:56 <flo> so you are saying you don't want it in the UI because it's technically difficult to get right? (which I can perfectly understand, as I had basically the 2 points you just mentioned in mind) 20:24:05 <clokep_work> Additionally I think it fits into the Instantbird UI very poorly... 20:24:18 <clokep_work> And I don't really see a point for it, how often is it necessary to really request whois information? 20:24:32 <clokep_work> The one downside I really don't like is that you can't currenlty request whois info for arbitrary users. 20:24:37 <myk> flo: i haven't actually specified where the results would appear, although displaying them in the conversation seems reasonable 20:24:51 <clokep_work> If the server tab is enabled, I wouldn't be totally against displaying them there. 20:25:29 <myk> flo: what i would like is to be able to enter |/whois <nick>| to get information about the person with that nick 20:25:36 <flo> myk: would you display the raw server replies (in which case it's definitely something for the server tab) or a formatted more human friendly version that could fit in one or two lines in the conversation? 20:25:39 <myk> flo: including, crucially, how long they have been idle 20:25:40 <aleth> clokep_work: That's not that useful, nobody will find it there 20:26:04 <myk> flo: umm, think of me as a user who doesn't know what the "raw server replies" are ;-) 20:26:07 <clokep_work> aleth: I didn't say it was ideal, I'm just saying it makes more sense. 20:26:11 <myk> flo: it's not entirely true, but it's close enough 20:26:27 <aleth> I think barring the technical issues, a system message displaying what's in the tooltip seems fine to me 20:26:35 <clokep_work> flo: The server tab is meant to have some basic parsing done of replies, but I wouldn't cache things and display them...just print each message as it comes. 20:26:38 <myk> flo: all i know is that other IRC clients i've used over the years have told me some useful information about people when i asked who they are 20:26:43 <flo> myk: I'm sure you would be able to read them, but whether *you* can read something isn't really the point when discussion UI :) 20:27:35 <myk> flo: in particular, those clients typically have told me the name of the person (with mixed results) and how long they have been idle 20:27:37 <flo> myk: you see that information when hovering a nick in the list of participants ;) 20:27:47 <myk> flo: i don't use the mouse if i can help it 20:27:52 <flo> so my understanding was that you disliked having to move the mouse pointer :) 20:28:06 <aleth> In the end this discussion will be resolved by someone adding a suitably good patch or not ;) 20:28:09 <myk> flo: i'm a keyboard-centric user 20:28:21 <myk> flo: it takes many times more time and effort for me to use a mouse for such actions 20:28:34 <flo> myk: I can understand that 20:28:37 <myk> flo: also, sometimes the person i want to query is not in the channel i'm in 20:28:52 <flo> myk: by the way, do you like our nick completion? We tried to make it suck less than the completion of other IRC clients :) 20:28:54 <myk> flo: sometimes i don't even know what channel(s) they are in 20:28:57 <clokep_work> flo: My usage of XXX is consistent with your definition by the way. 20:29:08 <myk> flo: yes, it's almost perfect! 20:29:20 <flo> clokep_work: that's likely, as if it wasn't I would have told you to change them ;) 20:29:52 <flo> clokep_work: I missed this message ealier: "flo: I saw. Is it inappropriate for me to reply in that bug?". You can totally reply in that bug :) 20:29:52 --> sonny has joined #instantbird 20:30:27 <flo> and I really hope that once this code lives in comm-central, you will still be allowed to r+ patches against it. ;) 20:31:02 <aleth> Who better ;) 20:31:40 <clokep_work> I hope so too! :) 20:32:05 <clokep_work> myk: Pretty much what it comes down to: I'm not totally against it, but I'd like there to be a good solution (I don't want to just do it "because everyone does"). 20:32:13 <clokep_work> And I'm not likely to write a patch to do it anytime soon. 20:32:20 <clokep_work> There's some other work to be done first. :) 20:32:23 <flo> I'm not sure if there's something somewhere hidden in the mozilla module ownership policy that prevents making someone a peer if he doesn't have commit access yet 20:33:32 <flo> clokep_work: right. I think what you wanted to say instead of "it's not wanted" is "it's not a priority for me, but we would accept a good patch for it :)" 20:34:23 <clokep_work> flo: Probably, it's been a long day. 20:34:47 <flo> (although getting you Mozilla commit access probably wouldn't be too hard :)) 20:35:49 <clokep_work> Maybe. I only have a few patches in Mozilla... 20:36:06 <aleth> This seems like a big one ;) 20:36:06 <flo> that will no longer be true if chat/ is in Mozilla :) 20:36:22 <clokep_work> myk: Does that make sense? Sorry that I came off as rude. :-/ I just really want to understand /why/ you need it and in what use, rather than just blindly doing it because "other clients" do it. 20:36:23 <myk> clokep_work: sure, i understand; and i certainly don't want it because other irc clients have it; rather, i want it because it's useful :-) and of course i want a good solution 20:36:30 <clokep_work> (Also, it's my opinion that most IRC clients suck...) 20:36:38 <clokep_work> Good, we're in agreement then! 20:36:50 <clokep_work> Unfortunately...the IRC plug-in is written as a (mostly) stateless machine. 20:36:53 <myk> clokep_work: my primary use case is to answer the question: is foo around? 20:36:56 <clokep_work> So I have no idea what sent message generated a response... 20:37:04 <flo> clokep_work: the reason for wanting it is: "whois should be keyboard accessible" 20:37:04 <clokep_work> myk: Why not add them to your buddy list? 20:37:10 <myk> clokep_work: f.e.: is dougt around? 20:37:16 <flo> myk: doesn't want to use his mouse. Blind users just can't. 20:37:31 <myk> clokep_work: umm, well, i didn't know you can add an irc user to your buddy list; but also, i don't use my buddy list if i can help it 20:38:07 <aleth> myk: It's nice to see there who is online though ;) 20:38:32 <myk> clokep_work: and also, many of these people aren't my buddies; some of them i don't speak to very often; but every once in a while i have a question and want to ping someone to answer it--if, that is, they're 1. online, and 2. not too idle 20:38:48 <clokep_work> Alright. 20:38:54 <flo> clokep_work: for the implementation, I think somehow the object implementing the IRC conversation should add an observer for the "user-info-received" notification 20:39:01 <myk> aleth: that's occasionally true, for my actual buddies 20:39:07 <flo> that's how the participant tooltips work 20:39:31 <aleth> myk: you may want to CC yourself to bug 866 20:39:34 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866 min, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Handle /list and /whois for IRC 20:42:13 <aleth> myk: and then you can group the IRC buddies with their buddies from other accounts... 20:42:27 <aleth> Just in case you hadn't discovered that feature yet. 20:43:32 <myk> aleth: thanks, i've cc:ed myself 20:43:39 <flo> aleth: that's not as nice as it seems though, as I think the IRC buddies don't get "away" when the other buddies of the contact are idle, so the preferred buddy switches to IRC each time the contact is away :(. 20:44:44 <aleth> I thought that was going to be resolved (i.e. the IRC buddy status bug) 20:45:06 <aleth> Though it probably doesn't have a really good solution. 20:46:05 <aleth> (unless IRC has some features I am not aware of) 20:46:44 <clokep_work> flo: That's a decent way to do it, would sitll need to decide what to do with it. :P 20:47:00 <clokep_work> aleth: The IRC buddy status is only offline or online. 20:47:24 <aleth> You'd have to parse the idle time. 20:47:33 <flo> clokep_work: format some text to display in a system message 20:47:49 <clokep_work> Where do you display that system message? 20:47:58 <clokep_work> Actually...opening a conversation from that user might make the most sense... 20:48:00 <flo> in the conversation that has the observer 20:48:09 <clokep_work> Ah, I see what you're saying... 20:48:10 <flo> the observer is added when the whois command is executed 20:48:23 <flo> removed when closing the conversation or when a reply for the requested nick has been observed 20:48:27 <aleth> You need an observer anyway to handle the ENDOFWHOIS 20:48:45 <flo> aleth: no, that's handled deep in the IRC code 20:48:52 <Mook_as> oh, just so I don't have to look for it: the tbird ui is in comm-central? 20:49:12 <flo> Mook_as: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714733 20:49:13 <aleth> flo: yes, it sends an event 20:49:21 <flo> Mook_as: expected to land Monday for Tb 13 20:49:45 <flo> if I can finish it and get it reviewed in time 20:52:08 <clokep_work> aleth: Yeah, that's handled by the message handler not an observer. 20:52:35 <aleth> clokep_work: I think we mean the same thing, I was looking at that code. 20:53:46 <clokep_work> OK. :) 20:53:53 <clokep_work> An "observer" is a technical phrase though, so... 20:54:18 <aleth> Sorry, I should have been more precise... 20:54:32 <aleth> I was just agreeing with flo's suggestion. 20:54:53 <clokep_work> Someone write a patch then. ;) 20:54:57 <clokep_work> Or include the suggestion in the bug. 20:54:59 <flo> aleth: I gave enough information for you to write the patch :-P 20:55:05 <flo> bah, clokep_work said the same thing faster :-D 20:55:15 <aleth> There are a lot of patches I could write :P 20:55:49 <flo> aleth: this sounds more like opportunities than like a problem :) 20:56:00 <aleth> :) 20:56:10 <aleth> Apart from lack of time that is... 20:59:35 <flo> lack of time? 20:59:52 <flo> in most case that's equivalent to "lack of motivation" ;) 21:01:09 <-- Tonnes has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88 [Firefox 10.0.2/20120215223356]) 21:03:37 <clokep_work> flo: I can change those to TODO comments and maybe add some more notes on each of them. 21:03:45 <clokep_work> Some of them should be handled (but usually just to display a message...) 21:06:50 --> BYK has joined #instantbird 21:12:49 <flo> clokep_work: lf you have some spare time, that sounds good. I really don't see an emergency here :) 21:13:09 <flo> we are rushing the parts that need localizable strings. I don't think editing code comments fits in that category :) 21:14:47 <-- BYK has quit (Quit: Instantbird -- http://www.instantbird.com) 21:15:00 --> BYK has joined #instantbird 21:20:50 <-- BYK has quit (Quit: Instantbird -- http://www.instantbird.com) 21:22:32 <clokep_work> Ah, so I just can't add strings? :P 21:23:25 <flo> it's so sad the comments won't be localized :-P 21:27:41 <aleth> You can add a horn section ;) 21:28:38 <-- clokep_work has quit (Quit: Instantbird.) 21:37:13 <myk> flo: the only aspect of nick completion that is not quite perfect is what happens when i complete two nicks at the beginning of a line 21:37:20 <myk> flo: then it comes out like: 21:37:24 <myk> flo: aleth 21:37:31 <myk> whereas i'd like it to come out like: 21:37:36 <myk> flo, aleth: 21:38:04 <myk> flo: in other words, if i complete one nick, and then i immediately complete a second, i want my client to understand that i'm directing a comment to two people 21:38:11 <flo> aleth: what do you think of that? 21:38:25 <myk> flo: whereas currently it treats the second person as an "in comment reference", like when i mention aleth in this message 21:38:47 <flo> myk: yeah, I understand what you mean :) 21:39:07 <flo> another aspect that I think could be improved is giving priority to someone who has mentioned your nick a few seconds ago 21:39:19 <myk> flo: mmm, sure! 21:39:21 <aleth> Interesting! Not a case we encountered before I think. 21:39:26 <flo> currently both myk and Mook__as are active, but it was quite obvious I was replying to you :) 21:39:40 <flo> aleth: the list of nicks is something I had in my todo list for the reply to nick add-on 21:39:49 <flo> I never got to implement it though :-/ 21:40:38 <aleth> Seems doable :) 21:40:41 <myk> flo: perhaps the client could even auto-add a recent correspondent to the message field, but selected, so if it isn't the right start to your next message, then you can just start typing to erase it; and if it is the right start, you can simply press the right arrow before you start typing to keep it 21:40:49 <aleth> Giving priority to recently used nicks is trickier 21:42:21 <flo> aleth: these are just suggestions; just in case you were out of patch opportunities :) 21:43:15 <aleth> I had also thought about giving priority not to recently used nicks, but to those who pinged you recently 21:43:21 <aleth> (more specific) 21:44:45 <flo> isn't this what I just suggested? 21:45:39 <aleth> (checks) you did :) somehow I misread that as "people who spoke in the last few seconds" 22:17:11 <myk> should be variable width and is |should be fixed width and is| should be variable width but isn't |should be fixed width and is| should be variable width and is 22:17:15 <myk> hmm, it worked that time 22:17:54 <myk> |make -C webapprt/base/| just copies the changed file to dist/bin/; |make -C browser/app/ repackage| is what copies it to dist/NightlyDebug.app/ 22:18:09 <myk> that's the one that didn't work; i wonder why 22:19:00 <Mook_as> starts with fixed width? 22:19:51 <myk> |fixed| variable |fixed| variable 22:19:56 <myk> nope 22:20:34 <aleth> |/|nonvar|var 22:25:03 <flo> myk: the cause is the mozTXTToHTMLConv component that is unreliable for various different reasons :( 22:25:13 --> igorko has joined #instantbird 22:31:11 <myk> flo: aha! 22:32:57 <flo> we need to stop using it and rewrite it in JS eventually, but it's boring ;) 22:38:04 <Mook_as> or steal whatever chtazilla uses ;) 22:39:13 --> igorko1 has joined #instantbird 22:39:21 <-- igorko1 has quit (Quit: igorko1) 22:39:51 <flo> Mook_as: are you sure it's really better? 22:40:09 <-- igorko has quit (Quit: Miranda IM!
