It's probably not perfect yet, but I think it's good enough. 10:25:25 <clokep> flo: I think it looks good. 10:25:37 <flo> great :) 10:31:53 * clokep hates users who assume how things work. 10:40:43 * flo wonders if that user is an instantbird user or an user of something related to your paid-work 10:43:55 <clokep> Instantbird user. 10:44:00 <clokep> Was in reply to one of my replies on the mailing list... 10:44:02 <clokep> Just in reply to me though. 10:44:14 <clokep> "why would I log into the website when all I was doing was starting up IB. The problem is fixed anyway, because it was an issue on your end, not mine. 10:44:15 <clokep> thanks for the e-mail...." 10:44:38 <flo> "it was an issue on your end, not mine" ? :-D 10:44:57 <clokep> Yeah...apparently assuming we have something to do w/ them connecting. 10:46:54 <flo> I'm a bit sad that you hate them; that kind of behavior doesn't deserve that much attention ;). 10:47:34 <flo> but yeah, it's impossible to correctly support users reacting that way... :( 10:50:40 <clokep> Well "hate" is a strong word. 10:50:47 <flo> I guessed that :) 10:50:50 <clokep> It really frustrates me when people react that way to people trying to help them. 10:51:06 <clokep> Anyway, I'll send a nice reply that is half confusion and half elation about them fixing the issue. 10:51:25 <flo> O_o 10:52:04 * clokep needs to go to work. 10:53:46 <-- clokep has quit (Ping timeout) 11:35:20 --> meh has joined #instantbird 11:40:12 --> clokep_work has joined #instantbird 11:40:12 * ChanServ sets mode +o clokep_work 12:00:21 <clokep_work> I really don't like the random modes being confusing letters of +o, ntr, etc. 12:00:23 <clokep_work> :-/ 12:01:58 <flo> when reading "mode (clokep_work +o) set by ChanServ" ? 12:02:57 <clokep_work> And "mode (#instantbird +ntr)" 12:03:06 <flo> I don't even know what that means :) 12:03:06 <clokep_work> I think aleth has it right that we should make those "human readable" somehow... 12:03:26 <clokep_work> +o is op, +n is...something. +t is only hops/ops can change the topic and...+r is something. :) 12:03:48 <clokep_work> Ah, +r is registered (in Bahamut). 12:03:53 * flo is converting andreasn to instantbird 12:04:07 <clokep_work> Ah, you got him to try it? 12:04:18 <clokep_work> Ah, +n is "no external messages". 12:04:35 <flo> isn't that irrelevant if you are already inside the room? :) 12:05:19 <clokep_work> Yes. But remember that the RFC lets you send messages to channels w/o being in them. 12:05:28 <clokep_work> Which sounds to me like super useful for spammers. :P 12:06:09 <clokep_work> (Seems like a crazy thing to allow IMO.) 12:06:27 <flo> clokep_work: but if that mode is the default settings for all rooms, whatever the RFC says isn't interesting for users ;) 12:07:16 <clokep_work> It isn't the default setting according to the RFC. :P 12:07:36 <clokep_work> It seems that on moznet at least it's default. 12:07:57 <clokep_work> I more of meant there needs to be a better way to display that information than as a message in the conversation. 12:08:06 <clokep_work> Maybe in the tooltip of the conversation (a la WHOIS info)? 12:09:17 <flo> a tooltip of the conv-top-info toolbar? 12:09:23 <flo> where we currently also show the topic 12:09:37 <flo> do we have a way to know what's the default server settings when we connect the account? 12:09:51 <flo> if we do, it would be nice to not tell the user about the modes of rooms that are the defualt for the server anyway 12:10:09 <clokep_work> I don't think so. 12:10:21 <clokep_work> We could also just "black list" some of them and choose not to show those. 12:10:36 <clokep_work> A big issue is that some letters are reused on different servers. 12:10:41 <clokep_work> I see like 4 different uses of +r. 12:11:21 <clokep_work> "REOP", "REGISTERED" and "REGONLY" (I also see at least 2 other letters being used for REGONLY). 12:11:52 * flo would suggest dropping that mode line completely unless the user has changed an about:config pref for us to be more verbose 12:13:30 <clokep_work> Yeah, we can discuss it after 1.2 is released. :) 12:18:54 <-- clokep_work has quit (Input/output error) 12:23:52 --> clokep_work has joined #instantbird 12:23:52 * ChanServ sets mode +o clokep_work 12:25:02 <flo> I'm trying to generate a changelog. 12:25:32 <flo> hg log -r "ancestor(1.1,1.2)::1.2" gives an interesting result, but the first revision it lists is the last one that was already in 1.1, so I would need to remove the 5 first lines of the generated output by hand :-S 12:27:10 <clokep_work> Hmm...I don't know for sure. 12:28:05 <flo> what I did before (explained on the wiki) was tedious and more error prone, and I wnated to try something based on http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2012-07-09/using-mercurial-revsets-to-search-for-changes-between-firefox-releases/ instead 12:33:26 <flo> hg log -r "ancestor(1.1,1.2)::1.2" |tail +6 works 12:33:41 <flo> the tail part is ugly of course, but it doesn't really matter :) 12:35:28 <flo> here's the changelog I obtain: http://queze.net/goinfre/ChangeLog-1.2 12:36:14 <flo> that's 403 changesets 12:36:47 <clokep_work> Nice. :) 12:36:50 <clokep_work> 90% of which are aleth. :P 12:36:58 <flo> really? :) 12:37:54 <flo> clokep_work: http://pastebin.instantbird.com/59506 12:38:09 <flo> apparently I'm still a frequent contributor :) 12:41:07 <clokep_work> :) 12:43:06 <clokep_work> The msot frequent. 12:43:10 <clokep_work> In fact! 12:43:31 <flo> but less than 50%! :) 12:43:56 <flo> well, of the changesets. I don't know how much that is in line changed 12:45:28 --> igorko has joined #instantbird 12:46:07 <clokep_work> A lot of those changesets were the reorg for TB I think. 12:46:10 <clokep_work> So moving code around. 12:49:32 <flo> ah, more than 50% if I count the additional 6 changesets from me but imported from Tb 12:54:23 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird 12:54:32 --> Optimizer1 has joined #instantbird 12:54:46 <-- Optimizer1 has quit (Input/output error) 12:55:12 --> Optimize1 has joined #instantbird 12:55:29 * Optimize1 is now known as Optimizer1 12:56:03 <-- Optimizer has quit (Ping timeout) 12:56:18 * Optimizer1 is now known as Optimizer 13:01:41 * flo started the script to create a source tarball 13:02:57 <flo> abort: HTTP Error 414: Request-URI Too Large 13:02:57 <flo> uh 13:03:02 <-- clokep_work has quit (Ping timeout) 13:10:24 <-- sonny has quit (Ping timeout) 13:14:02 <flo> bah, from the other server it works 13:40:34 --> barlas has joined #instantbird 13:52:13 --> sonny has joined #instantbird 14:07:36 --> ea4eoz has joined #instantbird 14:07:45 <-- meh has quit (Ping timeout) 14:11:25 <ea4eoz> Hello! Any ideas about to make libpurple to find the right external ip and make uPnP to work? 14:12:55 <flo> Hello 14:12:59 <flo> what's the use case? 14:13:24 <ea4eoz> file transfers 14:13:47 <flo> did you mean to ask this question in #pidgin? :) 14:13:57 <flo> we don't have any UI for file transfers yet 14:14:18 <ea4eoz> what would explain a lot :D 14:14:54 <flo> we don't want to expose libpurple's file transfers in the UI because they work too rarely; it's a frustrating experience to try to use them ;). 14:15:34 <ea4eoz> That's exactly the reason I gave up Pidgin... 14:17:28 <ea4eoz> and so I guess I must avoid any libpurple based program :( 14:17:40 <flo> or use dropbox for file transfers 14:17:47 <flo> that's more reliable 14:17:54 <flo> even with proxies in the middle 14:19:48 <ea4eoz> No, I need realible direct file transfers, but don't want to use messenger client 14:19:56 <flo> why do you need that? 14:20:19 <flo> which kind of files do you transfer? Are they big? Small? Images? Office documents? How often? 14:20:33 <ea4eoz> It's a long history but I need that... 14:21:31 * flo is willing to read a summary of that long story :) 14:21:48 <flo> I have a source tarball of 1.2 ready. 14:21:59 <flo> I wonder why it weights 98MB now :-S 14:22:08 --> meh has joined #instantbird 14:23:21 <ea4eoz> It's a pity because I really like Instantbird out of the box appearance :( 14:24:04 <flo> connect another sucky client just when you need file transfer. 14:24:29 <ea4eoz> That's eaxctly what I'm trying to avoid! 14:24:36 <flo> I'm going to assume you need them rarely, because you didn't want to answer that question, and haven't noticed right away that Instantbird doesn't support file transfer ;) 14:25:52 <ea4eoz> No, I just downloaded it this morning and in the configuration I see all the libpurple stuff about external ip and upnp options, so I assumed it has file transfers... 14:26:14 <flo> ah, yes, we need to hide confusing options :) 14:27:23 <ea4eoz> So, any multiprotocol IM program with direct file transfers not based in libpurple? :D 14:28:31 <flo> It's not an interesting question from my point of view, and you don't want to answer the question that I think is more interesting :-P. 14:29:01 <flo> btw, we are interested in adding a dropbox-based solution in the future 14:29:16 <flo> because msn p2p transfers don't help at all for twitter or facebook chat anyway 14:31:08 <dew> what about spideroak? 14:31:10 <flo> and my question was to know how such a feature could be helpful to you, and if not, why not. 14:31:20 <flo> dew: yeah, spideroak too 14:31:27 <dew> cool :) 14:31:29 <flo> dew: we would be using Tb's File Link code 14:32:13 <dew> hooray 14:32:24 <dew> I heard they were working with spideroak that's why I asked 14:32:47 <flo> yeah, they are 14:32:59 <flo> and yousendit, ubuntu one 14:33:13 <flo> but I'm not sure in which state the code for all these providers is 14:53:49 <dew> I wish trillian would go open source :/ 14:54:05 <dew> I like a lot of the stuff they do but they have a sloooow dev cycle 14:54:10 <flo> dew: and Windows too? ;) 14:54:19 <dew> hey I like windows 8 14:54:27 <flo> it's not open source yet though ;) 14:55:02 --> wnayes has joined #instantbird 14:55:04 <dew> yeah well it's much more likely a smaller project will 14:55:20 <dew> they used to collaborate with the pidgin developers way back when 14:56:00 <dew> so flo, you work for Mozilla right? 14:56:08 <-- igorko has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 14:59:33 <flo> dew: I'm part of the tb staff these days, yes. 15:00:25 <dew> yeah I've seen you on a lot of bugs that's why I asked. 15:00:36 <dew> I'm just curious on how these projects work 15:01:02 <flo> staying in the IRC channels and reading what people say is a good way to learn about them :) 15:02:24 <dew> oh I know I just wondered if Instabird was always mozilla backed or what 15:02:31 <dew> because I didn't hear about it until probably a year ago 15:02:41 <flo> uh? 15:02:53 <flo> never heard of an Inst*a*bird project :-P 15:03:01 <dew> oh 15:03:03 <dew> my bad 15:03:13 <flo> dew: http://www.instantbird.com/faq.html#mozilla 15:03:35 <dew> ty will read right now 15:04:36 <dew> I guess I assumed since they were merging code from the project into thunderbird 15:05:06 <flo> I think we would be happy if they assumed the same :-P. 15:12:59 <dew> yeah I just feel like they're spread too thin :/ 15:17:25 <ea4eoz> It's hard to find a IM program not based in libpurple... 15:18:11 <-- gerard-majax_ has quit (Ping timeout) 15:18:43 <dew> yes I agree ea4eoz 15:19:00 <dew> I think it's one of the only open source libraries out there 15:19:05 <dew> but I haven't done my research 15:19:11 <dew> just haven't heard of anything else 15:19:58 <ea4eoz> MirandaIM seems to be the only alternative not based in libpurple with file transfer and uPnP support... I will test it 15:20:04 <flo> ea4eoz: maybe you could help supporting MSN without libpurple in Instantbird? :) 15:20:38 <ea4eoz> Maybe :D 15:23:59 --> myk has joined #instantbird 15:59:19 <flo> so, my insurance has a button on its website to chat with them instead of calling them 15:59:27 <flo> but it doesn't work because it needs a java plugin 15:59:46 <flo> when I look at the source of the page, there's a comment "Sorry, but you need a Java 1.1.x enabled browser to use EIRC." 15:59:54 <flo> Is EIRC a standard IRC client? 16:00:32 <flo> the parameters of the applet contain a server IP, a port (6667!), a channel, and a few other values 16:03:02 * flo points his Instantbird debug build at it 16:03:34 <flo> "running version Unreal3.1.1-Darkshades+" 16:07:26 --> clokep_work has joined #instantbird 16:07:27 * ChanServ sets mode +o clokep_work 16:07:40 <clokep_work> flo: That's pretty awesome. :) 16:07:48 <clokep_work> How'd you get the version type? 16:10:14 <flo> clokep_work: I don't really understand your question 16:10:39 <clokep_work> The server version. 16:10:42 <flo> I just checked the checkbox to see the server tab when I created the irc account 16:11:05 <clokep_work> Ah, OK. :) I wasn't sure if that's what you did or not. 16:11:11 <flo> apparently it creates a new server instance for each person who wants to connect, and creates a channel with only 2 people (me and someone else) 16:11:23 <clokep_work> That seems excessive haha. 16:12:16 <flo> I can send you all the content of server tab if you want to have fun ;) 16:13:30 <clokep_work> Hah, I don't think we care too much about supporting that. 16:13:38 <clokep_work> But we could add a network for your insurance company at some point, sure. :P 16:14:18 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: Also, I don't think we're fully against supporting direct file transfer btw, we just want to have a good fallback for the 90% of the time when it doesn't work. 16:16:24 <ea4eoz> Ok clokep_work, Anyway, if it is based on libpurple, I guess Instantbird will have all the problems libpurple has with file transfers 16:17:20 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: Yes, but a lot of those problems aren't really issues with libpurple, they're issues with the underlying protocol and their failure to understand parts of networking infrastructure (at least that's my understanding). 16:17:30 <-- Optimizer has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 16:17:42 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird 16:17:58 <clokep_work> It'll usually work on "official" clients because they usually fallback to transferring through a 3rd party server (not really a direct client to client thing). 16:18:10 <clokep_work> The user experience just isn't there. :-/ 16:18:20 <clokep_work> I rarely had AIM file transfers work even when I was using AIM 5.x. 16:18:40 <ea4eoz> With pidgin I never be able to get libpurple to detect the external IP correctly, so uPnP mappings are wrong: No file transfers at all 16:21:53 <dew> ha 16:22:06 <dew> maybe they should fall back to some lite bit torrent client ;) 16:22:12 <dew> which uses that to send the file 16:22:30 <dew> since everyone seems to think that bit torrent is the best way to send and verify sent files 16:22:33 <flo> ea4eoz: even when upnp fails, it should fallback to a (very slow!) MSN proxy server 16:24:10 <ea4eoz> Yes, one of 100 times it do the fallback, but rarely. That's the reason I'm not confident in any libpurple based program (yes, including instantbird) 16:25:48 <ea4eoz> and it is a pity because I really like the instantbird interface 16:26:04 <ea4eoz> but I need file transfers 16:29:44 <flo> for some secret reason ;) 16:30:33 <dew> government secrets going over the wire 16:35:00 <ea4eoz> flo: imagine a email program without file attachments... That is a IM without file transfers. 16:37:57 <flo> ea4eoz: I rarely look at email attachments immediately, I just read the email and look at the attachment later. So if there's nothing "instant" about the file, it could as well be in an email 16:38:48 <ea4eoz> Diferent persons, diferent usages, but file transfers is a must for many people 16:39:08 <flo> and a welcome enhancement if someone wants to contribute it :) 16:39:59 <flo> I don't think arguing that file transfer is useful will help get it done (we all agree it's wanted if it works correctly) 16:41:48 * clokep_work doesn't know the last time he got an email attachment... 16:44:48 <clokep_work> flo: Did you see they're talking about adding a new pref type to libpurple? That's annoying. 16:45:34 <barlas> We want file transfer! 16:45:42 <-- wnayes has quit (Ping timeout) 16:45:50 <clokep_work> Then work on adding it (we will help you). 16:45:55 --> wnayes has joined #instantbird 16:46:06 <flo> I think you all can now form a team of people interested in working on it :) 16:46:14 <barlas> What if I work on motivating you guys? :D 16:46:33 <barlas> Well, I know I can form a team of people who want someone else to work on it :) 16:47:05 <flo> barlas: that sounds extremely difficult as I've always been annoyed whne receiving a file (when it did work on one of the clients I used before Instantbird) 16:47:29 <barlas> flo, why? 16:48:26 <flo> the client I used (Gaim) had a sucky UI for it that put a popup window and forced me to select a folder to store the file. How would I know where the file should go before seeing it? Why should I even care? 16:48:48 <flo> and usually I had to choose a folder to store the file, and then it didn't work! 16:49:08 <flo> barlas: would be easier to find a way to motivate me to add webcam support ;) 16:49:16 <clokep_work> barlas: I don't think either flo or I are really interested in working on it, so that might be hard to motivate. And I really don't mean that ("do it yourself") in a bad way. 16:49:37 <clokep_work> But I don't get paid to work on Instantbird, I do it for fun...therefore the impetus is to add features that interest me. 16:49:39 <barlas> flo: So, when can we expect webcam support? :P 16:50:05 * clokep_work would guess when we update to a Mozilla with WebRTC... 16:50:29 <barlas> BTW I was just kidding about motivating, if it was so easy, all open-source application would've hundreds of features :) 16:50:30 <flo> barlas: find me a girlfriend who lives more than a hundred kilometers away, and you will likely have it within a month or two in nightlies :-P. 16:50:55 <barlas> heh 16:51:51 <clokep_work> flo: Yes, I had thought of that last year...but then I just used Skype. :P 16:52:08 <flo> clokep_work: you need to upgrade to an OS that doesn't support Skype! 16:52:20 <barlas> Plan 9? 16:52:30 <barlas> React OS? 16:52:34 --> igorko has joined #instantbird 16:53:12 <barlas> A non-gui *nix/*bsd distribution? 16:53:25 <ea4eoz> seriously speaking: If instantbird is based on libpurple, how it can be possible to improve / add file transfers without improving libpurple itself? 16:53:41 <flo> barlas: an OS without GUI wouldn't help much to motivate for a feature of Instantbird ;) 16:53:59 <flo> ea4eoz: Instantbird uses libpurple, it's not based on it. 16:54:05 <flo> ea4eoz: not sure if you see the nuance ;). 16:54:37 <barlas> The main issue is writing the GUI, right? I mean actual file transfer would be handled by libpurple? 16:54:50 <ea4eoz> I'm not familiar with the IM protocols but I can't figure out how to initiate a file transfer with a sesion opened with libpurple... 16:54:58 <flo> barlas: libpurple doesn't handle file transfer, that's what ea4eoz is complaining about ;) 16:55:04 <barlas> Oh 16:55:06 <-- sonny has quit (Ping timeout) 16:55:25 <flo> barlas: it pretend it does, it has APIs for it; but that doesn't work 90% of the time 16:55:41 <barlas> It works on Pidgin thouth 16:55:48 <barlas> *though 16:56:12 <ea4eoz> File transfers in pidgin? You are joking! 16:56:29 <clokep_work> We also need to wrap it in our own API so that our non-libpurple protocols could use it. 16:56:38 <barlas> Hmm.. I haven'd used Pidgin in a long time, but I think it used to work on it :) I do have a very dodgy memory though. 16:56:44 <clokep_work> I'm sure some people would want to use DCC... 16:58:03 <barlas> Wouldn't file transfer require protocol specific code for each protocol? 16:58:29 <barlas> Jabber, MSN, Yahoo etc. 16:59:34 <clokep_work> Yes, of course. 16:59:55 <barlas> Hmm... I can see why you don't want to work on it :) 17:01:33 <barlas> I am mainly interested in Jabber file transfer, we use it in our office, and sharing files over IM is the most common way. Other than that, I don't remember when I used file transfer last time. It's usually email or something like dropbox. 17:02:02 <clokep_work> Well hopefully for Instantbird 1.3 will not use libpurple for XMPP! 17:02:13 <-- mmkmou has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 17:02:19 <barlas> Ahan 17:03:02 <barlas> We can then motivate ea4eoz to work on Jabber file transfer then :) 17:03:32 <dew> hmm 17:04:00 <clokep_work> Of course having a good UI for it is good too... 17:04:17 <flo> barlas: I think he was interested only in MSN 17:04:32 <flo> barlas: but yes, XMPP is the most likely to have file transfer supported soon 17:04:43 <flo> IRC too maybe 17:04:48 <barlas> Oooh, nice 17:04:59 * clokep_work grumbles about supporting DCC> 17:05:10 <clokep_work> I actually have some code to support DCC Chat though. :) 17:05:15 <flo> barlas: because it's correctly documented (for XMPP) and clokep_work knows all the RFCs by heart (for IRC) 17:05:31 <barlas> Nice! 17:05:33 <dew> :D 17:05:47 <-- meh has quit (Ping timeout) 17:05:59 <ea4eoz> Most people is on MSN or GTalk (jabber). File transfers on those protocols will be nice :D 17:06:25 <barlas> That reminds me I should check try IRC on instantbird, I never liked IRC support on Pidgin and Kopete, so I usually use a separate dedicated client for it. 17:06:56 <barlas> Also, while we are talking about features, are there any plans for OTR support? 17:06:59 <flo> barlas: if you dislike IRC in Instantbird, please let us (and especially clokep_work) know *why* :) 17:07:16 <flo> barlas: right, do you have any plans about adding OTR support in Instantbird? :) 17:07:24 <barlas> flo: Sure, let me try it first, I guess now is as good time as any 17:07:29 <barlas> Haha 17:07:48 <barlas> How hard would it be for someone who hasn't much experinece in desktop programming? 17:07:59 <flo> barlas: OTR? 17:08:00 <ea4eoz> IRC in instantbird is a pleasure, at least for me ;-) 17:08:04 <barlas> flo: yes 17:08:05 <flo> barlas: not where you want to start. 17:08:14 <flo> barlas: filtering the buddy list is a much better idea of a start 17:08:29 <barlas> That trying thing was about IRC. 17:08:56 <barlas> OTR question was, how hard would it be, a general theoratical question for the time being :) 17:09:09 <flo> ea4eoz: great :) 17:09:54 <flo> barlas: OTR would be easy for someone who has ever written C++ Mozilla add-ons. 17:09:55 * instantbot frowns at flo 17:10:09 <flo> barlas: that probably only means Mook and me :( 17:10:15 <clokep_work> The hooks are all there for OTR... 17:10:16 <barlas> heh 17:10:39 <clokep_work> Although I find a lot of people think the want OTR, but really only want encryption... 17:10:42 <flo> clokep_work: yeah, it's not terrible difficult. For someone who knows the technologies 17:10:56 <flo> clokep_work: most people asking for OTR have no idea of what it does. 17:12:03 <ea4eoz> I remember I tested instantbird many time ago, maybe at the 0.2 o 0.3 version. But tired of problems with pidgin this morning I started to test other programs, and I downloaded instantbird again. Very impresed in general (but it has no file transfers. Did I mentioned it? :-) ) 17:12:13 <barlas> Hmm... it's not connecting me to irc.mozilla with SSL 17:12:20 <barlas> Oh, it just did. 17:12:52 --> barlas_ has joined #instantbird 17:13:11 <barlas_> So, this is how it looks like. 17:13:24 <barlas> Yep 17:13:35 <barlas_> Hmm.. how come we both are same colour? :( 17:14:01 <barlas> I don't know, maybe because it's basically the same nick. 17:14:06 <barlas_> Maybe :-/ 17:14:37 <barlas> You can wait for someone else to speak, that would probably show different background colours 17:14:45 <barlas_> Hmm.. nice idea. 17:15:01 <barlas_> Also, I think I should stop chatting with myself. 17:15:35 <flo> do you often do that? 17:15:44 <flo> ask instantbot something ;) 17:15:59 <barlas_> instantbot: How are you? 17:16:00 <instantbot> barlas_: fine thanks! I've been up 58 days so far! 17:16:00 <flo> barlas_: also, for IRC, I would suggest trying the "Show Nick" add-on 17:16:15 <barlas_> flo: and no, not as much as I would like to :) 17:16:38 <flo> barlas_: ahah :) 17:16:57 <barlas_> Okay, installed it, time to restart instantbird. 17:17:08 <-- barlas_ has quit (Input/output error) 17:18:53 --> barlas_ has joined #instantbird 17:19:00 <barlas_> Test 17:19:05 <barlas_> barlas: Test 17:19:18 <barlas> barlas_: Another test 17:19:22 <barlas_> ice 17:19:25 <barlas_> *Nice 17:19:54 <barlas_> Nice work on IRC, most multi-protocol clients lack good MUC support 17:20:57 <barlas_> Is there any way, I can put the chat on hold by pressing cross, or minimizing it? 17:21:14 <flo> barlas_: press Escape 17:21:34 <flo> barlas_: but yes, pressing the [X] of the tab would but a chat room on hold by default 17:22:10 <barlas_> Nice, I officially love the IRC support now :) 17:22:35 <clokep_work> Good to hear that. :) 17:22:41 <clokep_work> And yes we spent a lot of time making MUCs good. 17:30:03 --> meh has joined #instantbird 17:31:54 <flo> clokep_work: do you remember exactly what was the drawback of the patch in bug 1231? 17:31:58 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1231 nor, --, 1.2, florian, RESO FIXED, 'Display Formatting of incoming messages', not implemented in JS-XMPP 17:32:03 <flo> I'm trying to help deciding if we want to take this for Tb15 or not 17:32:09 <flo> wrong number, sorry 17:32:17 <flo> I meant bug 1497 17:32:20 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497 nor, --, 1.2, aletheia2, RESO FIXED, When starting with necko offline, connect accounts as soon as the network is back. Also avoid connec 17:32:39 --> aleth has joined #instantbird 17:32:40 * ChanServ sets mode +h aleth 17:32:46 <flo> aleth: :) 17:32:51 <flo> aleth: exactly who I needed! :) 17:33:03 <flo> aleth: do you remember what the drawback of bug 1497 is? 17:33:08 <flo> Should we take it for Tb15 or not? :) 17:33:53 <aleth> The drawback was just the "missing UI" 17:34:07 <aleth> I don't see why one wouldn't take it for TB if we took it for IB ;) 17:34:12 <flo> aleth: weren't we breaking a corner case that had a better error handling now? 17:34:41 <flo> aleth: the diffrent is TB has a GUI for switching necko online/offline, Ib doesn't. 17:34:44 <flo> *difference 17:34:53 <aleth> afaik what will go missing is the message in the account manager when you start when necko is offline 17:35:22 <flo> but don't we miss it anyway if we are offline because necko is offline at a later time? 17:35:28 <flo> (ie that message is inconsistent anyway) 17:36:11 <aleth> Yes, it was only there on startup 17:36:30 <aleth> personally I agree it was not a good solution, so I didn't mind replacing it with "no message" in the interim 17:37:01 <aleth> It's just an extra service to the user to provide more info at some point in the future 17:37:02 --> sonny has joined #instantbird 17:37:39 <aleth> Hmm, unless I missed something about when that message appeared... it's a while ago. 17:38:03 <-- Gizmokid2005 has quit (Ping timeout) 17:38:42 --> Gizmokid2005 has joined #instantbird 17:39:00 <flo> aleth: we needed it to start the autologin process 17:39:15 <flo> now that we do it anyway even with offline account, the button isn't really neeed 17:39:17 <flo> *needed 17:40:04 <aleth> Ah, right. 17:41:42 <barlas_> Is it possible to have different themes for single chad and MUC? 17:41:45 <barlas_> *chat 17:41:47 <aleth> How can TB have an UI to switch necko online/offline? It may not be something it can fix... 17:42:31 <aleth> Isn't "work offline" the equivalent of disconnecting all accounts? 17:43:26 <flo> aleth: switching necko offline is a way to ensure no network connection will be attempted 17:43:43 <flo> barlas_: you will have to explain to clokep_work why you would want that ;). 17:44:02 <barlas_> Sure 17:45:01 <barlas_> I like 'Bubble' for single chats, but in MUC's it becomes too colourful. 17:45:33 <barlas_> Similarly, Paper sheet looks nice in MUC, but I don't like it much for single chat 17:45:47 <aleth> flo: OK... I guess pre-IM TB had no concept of status 17:46:09 <barlas_> clokep_work: Single chat and MUCs have different themeing requirements. 17:46:19 <aleth> i.e. I would expect an IB with status=offline to not attempt any network connections either ;) It's just not done via necko. 17:47:20 <clokep_work> barlas_: Why do you like one for the other? 17:47:33 <clokep_work> (And don't let flo think I'm the only one that likes it that way.) 17:47:49 <barlas_> clokep_work: one for the other? 17:49:10 <flo> aleth: ib with status=offline would still try to find updates 17:49:13 <clokep_work> barlas_: Why do you like one over the other. 17:49:23 <aleth> flo: aha! right. 17:49:40 <flo> clokep_work: I'm not saying you are the only one who likes it that way. Just that you are the only one who still has the energy to argue about it :). 17:49:51 <barlas_> heh 17:50:16 <clokep_work> I just want a real reason why people think they need to look different besides "IRC isn't supposed to look like that." 17:50:37 <flo> clokep_work: he said MUCs though ;) 17:50:37 <barlas_> clokep_work: Take Bubbles for instant, it's pretty good single chat theme, you can choose any two colours, and it makes it easy to recognize your message and your contacts. 17:51:11 <aleth> flo: For TB there will not even be the issue that users are used to a different behaviour from previous versions ;) 17:51:59 <barlas_> But when you use it in MUC, there are just way too many colours on the screen. In one chatroom I have bright yellow, orange, pink, dark green, lime green and so on. It doesn't make recognizing messages by different people any easier, but provides too much distraction 17:52:18 <clokep_work> flo: Thanks for the spam. 17:52:34 <clokep_work> barlas_: I disagree 100% with what you say. 17:52:40 <clokep_work> I think it makes it wayyy easier to see who said what. 17:52:49 <flo> clokep_work: you are welcome. More is coming. 17:53:00 * clokep_work stops reading it then. 17:53:01 <clokep_work> :) 17:53:04 <flo> I'm rushing in 2 more fixes before they start building Tb15b3 17:53:21 <aleth> barlas_: At best you can argue that it's not to your taste... in which case that's what add-ons are for ;) 17:53:44 <flo> barlas_: I wonder what "there are just way too many colours on the screen" means. 17:53:55 <aleth> barlas_: (and message styles which are less colourful) 17:53:57 <flo> are the colors preventing you from focusing for some reason? 17:54:47 <barlas_> flo: I find bright yellow background to be very distracting 17:54:57 <flo> but I have to also disagree with "It doesn't make recognizing messages by different people any easier". It helps *a lot*! 17:55:12 <flo> barlas_: bright yellow is bad luck :( 17:55:17 <barlas_> Let me upload a picture 17:55:36 <flo> sure :) 17:55:41 <aleth> flo: Some people just don't like them colours ;) that's what theming is for... 17:56:35 <barlas_> What's the good free photo uploading site these days? 17:56:43 <dew> imgur 17:56:43 <flo> imgur.com 17:56:49 <dew> ninja'd 17:59:13 <barlas_> http://imgur.com/C7y0M 17:59:20 <barlas_> Check the difference between yellows and greens 17:59:38 <dew> hey flo have you ever worked on foobar2k? 17:59:50 <aleth> barlas_: The colour depends on the nick. 17:59:58 <barlas_> I know 17:59:59 <flo> barlas_: your screenshot looks good. On my screen at least. 18:00:13 <barlas_> And if there are 50 people in the room, there are chances of 50 different colours 18:00:15 <flo> dew: no. I don't even know what it is. 18:00:36 <flo> barlas_: there are rarely 50 people talking *at the same time* 18:00:45 <aleth> barlas_: Just use e.g. minimal 2 as your message style if you want less colours. Or even the built-in simple style... 18:00:51 <clokep_work> I think your screenshot looks good and makes it easy to see the difference between people... 18:00:59 <flo> barlas_: if that makes you feel better, there's only 360 colors, so if you are in a room with 1000+ people, you won't have that many colors :) 18:01:08 <dew> sorry I just remember hearing of a florian person that worked as a plugin developer on that :) 18:01:36 <barlas_> :) 18:02:04 <barlas_> So, I am the only one who thinks it is a good idea to have different colours for single chats and MUCs? 18:02:22 <flo> there's already different colors 18:03:00 <barlas_> *themes :) 18:10:16 <clokep_work> You can alawys install other themes. :-D 18:13:24 <barlas_> Hmm... 18:13:39 <clokep_work> As aleth was suggesting... 18:13:50 --> Mnyromyr has joined #instantbird 18:15:06 <barlas_> Well, I don't want minimal colours, I want to use a theme, it's just that in my opinion, same theme doesn't work well in both cases. 18:15:25 <barlas_> Though, after reading my last message, I sound like a whining kid :P 18:15:46 --> Mook has joined #instantbird 18:15:52 <flo> as long as you are whining politely :) 18:16:55 <barlas_> So, if I just add it to my long list of things that I would try to do someday, when I would've time. Is it possible to achieve that using add on? 18:17:54 <flo> barlas_: yes, it should be easy. 18:18:02 <flo> barlas_: and if it's not easy, that's something we should fix 18:18:21 <flo> barlas_: at some point I wanted an add-on to have different themes for some very specific contacts 18:19:01 <flo> barlas_: I was thinking that one may want to have a different theme for work related and family contacts for example, so that the appearance is very different, reducing the risk of sending something unappropriate by accident. 18:19:27 <flo> clokep_work: so what's left to do for the release? :) 18:20:39 <flo> anyway, going home now :) 18:20:40 <flo> back later 18:20:41 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 18:20:58 <clokep_work> flo: Release notes + blog post. 18:21:12 <barlas_> He has left 18:21:14 <barlas_> Oh, the log. 18:23:08 <-- Mook has quit (Ping timeout) 18:23:52 <clokep_work> Yup. :) 18:24:04 <clokep_work> We're in really different timezones, so we tend to leave stuff in the logs... 18:26:48 <clokep_work> I hope I haven't scared anyone away by the way, it is good to have different opinions. Themes and file transfer tend to be sensitive subjects. But seriously...if someone does want something we'll help a lot in getting it there. 18:26:53 <clokep_work> But we can't work on everything ourselves. :) 18:27:00 --> Mook has joined #instantbird 18:29:02 <-- igorko has quit (Client exited) 18:30:07 --> igorko has joined #instantbird 18:30:24 <-- igorko has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 18:31:37 <dew> \o/ 18:32:28 <dew> you know what would be cool?

I didn't realize it was experimental. 22:20:33 <flo> clokep: well, you can. But it has no effect 22:20:36 <clokep> We dropped ru? I thought I saw it in the files... 22:20:48 <flo> I would love if someone could fix that btw :) 22:21:59 <clokep> flo: There are ru builds in http://ftp.instantbird.com/instantbird/releases/1.2-candidates/2012-08-05-18-instantbird/ 22:22:06 <flo> clokep: hmmm. Is the shipped-locales file wrong? :( 22:23:27 <flo> ok, it's wrong but in a way that isn't too much of a disaster, I only forgot to drop ru 22:23:36 <flo> I was afraid I may have dropped another locale instead 22:24:57 <flo> so, should I rm all 1.2.ru files from the server? 22:26:48 <-- sonny has quit (Ping timeout) 22:27:08 <clokep> It's up to you, I have no idea of the status of it. 22:27:41 <flo> chat/ is in en-US in it 22:27:52 <flo> it's totally unshippable 22:29:56 <-- chrisccoulson_ has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat) 22:30:05 --> chrisccoulson has joined #instantbird 22:32:09 <clokep> Then yes, delete it. 22:32:48 <flo> I removed the files from http://ftp.instantbird.com/instantbird/releases/1.2/ 22:33:02 <flo> I'm not sure if I keep it in the rc folders or not 22:34:58 <clokep> Keep it. 22:40:45 <flo> deleted from the 1.2 release folder and from my mirror on the other servier, deleted from the google code mirror, and disabled in the update database. 22:42:55 <clokep> Excellent. 22:45:46 <clokep> flo: So I think I have some updates to the website... 22:45:51 <clokep> But I'm afraid I've missed some things. 22:46:01 <flo> uh? 22:46:09 <flo> I thought you were just working on release-notes-1.2.php 22:46:15 <flo> I just made the other updates :-S 22:46:52 <clokep> flo: http://pastebin.instantbird.com/59718 is what I had done. 22:47:43 <flo> XD 22:47:47 <flo> so no, we aren't duplicating work 22:47:56 <clokep> That's good, right? :) 22:47:57 <flo> you forgot all the parts I changed, and I forgot all the parts you changed 22:48:18 <flo> we should seriously document what needs to be done when adding a new version on the website! 22:48:18 <clokep> Sounds like we make a good pair. :P 22:48:44 <clokep> Yes. I think our thought was "check the last commit" but we clearly didn't do that. 22:49:12 <flo> see https://hg.instantbird.org/websites/www.instantbird.com/ for what I did 22:49:21 <flo> especially https://hg.instantbird.org/websites/www.instantbird.com/rev/53e4a8148fa8 22:53:06 <clokep> I see. 22:54:59 <flo> clokep: the andMore string doesn't seem to be used anywhere 22:55:45 <flo> do you have a local copy of the website, or have you just blindly made the changes without being able to test? 22:55:54 --> sonny has joined #instantbird 22:56:16 <clokep> flo: Blindly made. 22:56:32 <flo> ok, so I should expect parse errors :-D 22:57:11 <clokep> Sorry. :-/ 22:57:31 <-- sonny has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.3a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 22:57:31 <clokep> I hope it's faster to fix the few errors I had then to just do it yourself... 22:57:41 <flo> are you already adding the code adding the andMore, or should I apply the patch and do it? 22:58:14 <clokep> Please do it. I need to make dinner. 22:58:24 <flo> it's ok!
