There's no way we could test that. 14:26:31 <barlas> Well, being a linux user, the package manager takes care of all updates, so I usually don't care about automatic updates 14:26:41 --> meh has joined #instantbird 14:26:42 <clokep_work> It doesn't for Instantbird. :p 14:27:01 <barlas> But when I am on windows, I love the application that can automatically update themselves, instead me checking homepage of all 45 applications and see if there is any update for them or not. 14:27:05 topic changed by flo to "Ask about Instantbird (http://instantbird.com) here!|Current version is Instantbird 1.2! :) |News: http://blog.instantbird.org/ |Nightlies: http://nightly.instantbird.im/ (for testing only) |IRC logs: http://log.bezut.info/ |Pastebin: http://pastebin.instantbird.org/ | Bugs: http://bugzilla.instantbird.org" 14:27:36 <barlas> clokep_work: Arch has an AUR script for instanbird, I think 14:27:44 <clokep_work> Btw...I think if we were to ever release a point release we'd run out of room in the topic hah. 14:27:52 <clokep_work> barlas: Ah, OK.

I think it's fairly readable. 15:21:44 <-- gerard-majax has quit (Ping timeout) 15:21:53 <barlas> Wow, I haven't seen that much commented code in umm... umm... really long time. 15:23:05 <barlas> Nice, should be very easy to get in this code. 15:23:26 <clokep_work> I'm forgetful, I like comments. :) 15:27:29 <barlas> clokep_work: Me too, unfortunately many people don't comment their code. 15:36:40 <dew> :) 15:38:44 <clokep_work> barlas: Tell me about it. ;) The code at work is awful. 15:42:23 * flo is inviting here someone who's upset on twitter that we dared not listing generic xmpp as a top protocol 15:42:41 --> _kud has joined #instantbird 15:42:50 <dew> what? 15:43:36 <_kud> who's behind @instantbird (twitter) so? :) 15:43:39 <flo> _kud: hello :) 15:43:42 <_kud> Hey ;) 15:43:51 <_kud> Bon, désolé pour cette dite agression, c'etait pas le but 15:44:06 <flo> _kud: I replied to you on twitter, but I should have used my @fqueze account, I usually don't reply in French with the official @instantbird account :) 15:44:13 <_kud> (yeah soz, in english so) 15:44:22 <_kud> alright 15:44:39 <flo> if I understood correctly, you were frustrated by the new "top protocols" first step of the account wizard 15:44:50 <_kud> Yeah so I wasn't saying that your work was crap, even more, i've tried your app and it's really cool 15:45:09 <_kud> it's just that for me, open source clients should make at the top xmpp protocol 15:45:42 <_kud> coz even if facebook and gtalk are xmpp too behind, it's close, and they backup all conversations on their servers 15:46:06 <flo> _kud: we tend to like *technically* XMPP compared to other protocols, but we also strongly believe that from a user point of view, the protocol used to transmit message is an irrelevant technical detail. 15:46:15 <_kud> Pidgin is doing the same way about their wizard 15:46:24 <_kud> Yes :) 15:46:45 <clokep_work> Pidgin has a wizard like that? 15:46:49 <flo> and we changed the wizard to only include names that people are likely to know, with bigger icons 15:47:06 <flo> clokep_work: no, we would have heard about it ;). 15:47:06 * clokep_work is confused by you calling our work crap and then saying the application is really good. :-S 15:47:22 <_kud> Nah, never said that 15:47:23 <_kud> :) 15:47:42 <_kud> it's just a discussion we had on twitter with flo 15:48:00 <flo> _kud: by the way, if you have read the release announcement, you may have noticed that we just spent a lot of time working on XMPP code in JS ;) 15:48:15 <_kud> Ahah, nice, interesting! 15:48:36 <flo> the new code is quite clean, and easy to hack with, so if you want to make XMPP really awesome in Instantbird, you are welcome to offer patches :) 15:48:45 <flo> (and we would of course help a lot in the process :)) 15:49:31 <_kud> Well, anyway. I'd just like that people know more about what they really use, and that using facebook or gtalk protocols isn't "safe" about privacy 15:49:45 <flo> _kud: sure, we agree on that. 15:50:01 <barlas> _kud: So your only complain is that XMPP is not mentioned in top protocols? 15:50:11 <flo> but we target users with very limited computer knowledge. People who may not see the difference between a browser, a search engine and an ISP ;). 15:50:31 <_kud> In a certain way, yes barlas, :) it's no point in fact 15:51:26 <barlas> flo: Still, just adding one more icon saying 'XMPP' shouldn't confuse anyone 15:51:29 <flo> _kud: anyway, even if you don't have time to contribute code, feel free to stay around here if you want, and just see how we discuss things, and work :) 15:51:38 <clokep_work> I really don't like when software pushes it's own agenda on me...so I think adding XMPP there is not wanted. 15:52:09 <flo> barlas: I would take suggestions for removing more icons actually. And I was frustrated that the French translators didn't remove the Yahoo entry for French, because Yahoo is completely irrelevant in France ;). 15:52:11 <clokep_work> (As in, yes...it can be safer, etc. depending on the server you use...but are people likely to click on it? I don't think so.) 15:52:41 <_kud> aha true flo 15:53:33 <_kud> It's not that they don't click or have no xmpp account that shouldn't or wouldn't see that xmpp exists itself 15:53:44 <flo> _kud: that list of top protocols is localized, and what's in the list is up to localizers (I assumed you used the French version) 15:53:55 <_kud> nope, english, always ;) 15:55:43 <clokep_work> Well we can blame wnayes then, right? :-D 15:56:29 <flo> clokep_work: well, we could blame wnayes if the code was faulty, but I think _kud's comment was more about the UI design; and it's mine ;). 15:56:39 <dew> facebook and google log your IMs? 15:56:41 <_kud> :D 15:56:45 <_kud> oh by the way 15:56:59 <_kud> I typed my gtalk account without @gmail.com 15:57:01 <_kud> and it didn't work 15:57:25 <_kud> most of im clients add themselves @gmail.com if not typed 15:57:28 <flo> _kud: yeah, we need to add support for a custom Gtalk XMPP extension to fix that! 15:57:41 <flo> it's something we want to do! 15:57:59 <flo> but do you mean you are really letting Google read all your IMs? ;) 15:58:12 <dew> :( 15:58:17 <_kud> I had a xmpp server 15:58:28 <_kud> well I used an xmpp server, but often down 15:58:52 <_kud> and for the moment, as i've got gmail, i "don't mind" having gtalk 15:59:02 <_kud> but it's the next step, having my own mail server 15:59:52 <dew> and then an extension to get me a girlfriend 15:59:57 <barlas> dew: You can view all your GTalk chats in 'Chats' in your gmail account 16:00:33 <barlas> _kud: I switched to my own mail server, then my hosting expired :( 16:00:43 <_kud> :D 16:01:19 <_kud> it's not so easily to maintain your own server 16:01:32 <flo> _kud: and some day you'll get a real project consuming most of your time, and give up the idea of setting up your own server for each service ;). 16:01:41 <_kud> exactly 16:01:50 <flo> I used to have my own server with lots of things. That was before I started working on Instantbird ;). 16:01:51 <barlas> Yep, so, I gave it up. 16:02:11 <barlas> Just my own ownCloud and Friendika/statusnet instance now :) 16:02:45 <-- myk has quit (Ping timeout) 16:05:20 --> myk has joined #instantbird 16:08:05 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird 16:08:11 <-- Optimizer has quit (Input/output error) 16:08:17 <barlas> When Master Password is set, passwords are stored encrypted? 16:08:23 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird 16:09:00 <flo> barlas: yes 16:10:37 <barlas> Nice 16:12:06 <_kud> fortunately :) 16:21:07 <flo> http://queze.net/goinfre/instantbird-1.2.download-count.txt 16:22:51 <dew> one of those was me~ 16:23:10 <dew> is instantbird on portable apps? 16:23:13 * dew checks 16:23:27 <flo> ah, that reminds me it's probably time for me to stop using 1.2, and go to 1.3a1pre nightlies 16:23:32 <flo> bah... tomorrow :) 16:23:34 <flo> dew: yes 16:24:14 <dew> good 16:24:30 <dew> Probably going to replace my pidgin portable with instantbird 16:24:46 * flo wonders if clokep_work feels about http://pastebin.instantbird.com/60057 16:24:59 <flo> it's for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777873 16:26:38 <flo> oh wait, now that you are a peer of mail/components/im, I don't need anybody else to look at it before the check-in :) 16:40:22 <-- sonny has quit (Ping timeout) 16:40:47 <wnayes> flo: Do you have some time before your vacation to go over the importing UI? 16:41:07 <flo> wnayes: this evening and tomorrow (probably evening too). 16:41:34 <flo> (my definition of "this evening" would be 3-4 hours from now) 16:41:57 <wnayes> OK, I want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction :) 16:42:08 <flo> so do I! 16:42:56 <flo> bah, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778664 :( 16:43:07 <flo> OS X 10.6 is the min version for Tb too now :( 16:43:17 <flo> another patch to back-out to continue working 16:46:49 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 16:53:17 <-- myk has quit (Ping timeout) 16:56:56 --> Mook has joined #instantbird 16:57:01 --> myk has joined #instantbird 16:58:01 <clokep_work> flo: That looks OK. 17:00:46 --> dewmugg has joined #instantbird 17:00:51 <clokep_work> 79 downloads?

It seems the OS has problems to read/find the certificate. 18:19:41 <clokep_work> flo: Should people see updates if they check for updates manually? douglaswth reported not having one. 18:19:50 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: I don't think we've ever signed any of our installers... 18:20:12 * douglaswth is an american who cares about unicode and encodings :/ 18:20:23 <ea4eoz> It takes an eternity to run, al least on W7 18:21:27 <clokep_work> I didn't have any issues on Windows 8 when I installed it the other day. :shrugs: 18:22:06 <ea4eoz> Well, anyway it's running! 18:22:15 <clokep_work> :) Good. 18:22:26 <clokep_work> It should be the same as recent nightlies though... 18:22:50 <clokep_work> flo: Are there other things I can do on that list right now or not really? 18:23:36 <clokep_work> (I know Colorize/Highlight for bug 1503) 18:23:42 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503 enh, --, ---, florian, NEW, Update add-ons on AIO for Instantbird 1.2 18:26:04 <ea4eoz> I noticed 1.1 and 1.2 does not load MSN avatars... bug or feature? :D 18:26:10 <flo> clokep_work: yes, they should see updates if they check for updates manually. 18:26:34 <flo> ea4eoz: our builds aren't signed 18:26:40 <-- sonny has quit (Ping timeout) 18:26:43 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: libpurple bug. 18:27:06 <flo> clokep_work: maybe post on freshmeat? I'm not sure if my account is required for that or not 18:27:10 <ea4eoz> Pidgin does 18:27:23 <flo> but I think we need a 600 characters release announcement, or something like that 18:27:35 <flo> ea4eoz: sign the installer? 18:27:37 <clokep_work> :( 18:29:45 <ea4eoz> No, I only noticed the instaler takes an eternity (about 4-5 minutes) to load, just to ends with a non signed installer (W7, you know...). Other non signed installers does not take such long time, but at the ends, it works fine 18:30:48 <ea4eoz> And no, Pidgin displays MSN avatars, but I remember I was using something like MSN-pecan or something like that... maybe that is the reason 18:32:18 <flo> ea4eoz: msn-pecan is a completely different MSN implementation 18:32:38 <flo> well, not completely different, they do share some code with the pidgin plugin, but it's a fork that's derived quite a bit 18:32:43 <ea4eoz> Yes, maybe that is the reason, anyway not a big deal, it is just an image. 18:33:52 <flo> clokep_work: so apparently I'm the "Owner" of the "Instantbird" project on freshmeat.net, but it's "writeable by everyone" 18:34:13 <flo> "every registered user can help to keep your project record up-to-date" 18:34:45 <flo> clokep_work: the page to submit a new release, once you are logged in, is https://freecode.com/projects/instantbird/releases/new 18:35:11 <clokep_work> I don't have an account there...bleh. 18:35:41 <flo> it may be the same accounts as sourceforge, now that they've been acquired by sourceforge 18:37:54 <clokep_work> It apparently uses openID>...but I don't remember how ot use my gmail account for that. 18:37:59 --> sonny has joined #instantbird 18:38:32 <Mook> hm, just out of curiosity: are you guys signing the OSX binaries? (for 10.8 stuff, using codesign) 18:38:42 <flo> clokep_work: btw, just wondering: what are you the most excited to start to work on for 1.3? :) 18:38:48 <flo> Mook: no 18:38:56 <Mook> (I don't have a mac, but did some of the work for Komodo on supporting it) 18:39:13 <flo> Mook: we build from a PPC machine that, iirc, can't do that 18:39:35 <Mook> hah, right. you need at least... 10.6, I think? not sure. 18:39:56 <flo> that will have to change very soon, as keeping the PPC support alive for mozilla is currently super painful, and starting with moz17 it will be close to impossible 18:40:19 <flo> Mook: ah? Interesting. Then I can't do it on my macbook either (10.5; for which support was dropped today for Tb17 :-/) 18:40:42 <Mook> not sure; I did my work on a 10.6 machine, dunno if 10.5 would work 18:40:59 <clokep_work> Yeah, you need 10.6 IIRC. 18:41:05 <Mook> (because the 10.6 machine was the one I had access to, not for any other particular reason) 18:43:19 <Mook> fwiw, if you guys around around to trying to do that: the komodo code is at http://svn.openkomodo.com/openkomodo/browse/openkomodo/trunk/src/install/osx-codesign - feel free to poke me for that stuff, too. 18:43:30 <Mook> (and I'm sure #build would help too, of course, for Firefox-looking things) 18:43:45 <clokep_work> flo: I don't know in particular. Just some more of the IRC improvements. 18:43:51 <clokep_work> I'd also love to fix the mess we have around normalized names. 18:44:58 <flo> Mook: thanks! 18:45:06 * wnayes thinks it would be fun to work on the "new conversation tab" bug once the importing code is in good order. 18:45:11 <flo> Mook: I think the first step is really to get a newer build machine 18:45:20 <flo> wnayes: cool :) 18:45:30 <ea4eoz> Any way to remove the old messages vanished color? 18:45:35 <fenfir> I've got a question about how the "purple.ssl.check_certificates" preference works. I found it in purple-prefs.js, but can't find any other references to it. 18:45:51 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: Use a different message style, I think. 18:46:01 <clokep_work> fenfir: What's your question about it? 18:46:02 <flo> fenfir: why do you need it? :) 18:46:13 <clokep_work> wnayes: You'd get major kudos for that. 18:46:45 <fenfir> flo: i'm trying to figure out how it works so I can attempt to figure out how to make Thunderbird do the same thing 18:47:06 <wnayes> I've reached for Ctrl-T a few times myself in IB, seems natural with a tab interface. 18:47:32 <ea4eoz> Message style does not remove it... damn! 18:47:44 <flo> fenfir: Thunderbird won't use that pref at all, it's only for libpurple plugins 18:48:00 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: We have it implemented in all the default message styles IIRC. 18:48:19 <ea4eoz> clokep_work: Looks horrible and difficult to read... 18:48:33 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: Again I disagree. 18:48:34 <fenfir> flo: thanks, that makes sense. I was thinking TB was using libpurple 18:48:43 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: How does it "look horrible"? 18:48:52 <clokep_work> And it looks fine on my screen. 18:48:59 <clokep_work> (Although I'm using simple at owrk...) 18:49:05 <Mook> yeah; for some reason, for _every_ project, I'm running into the "not enough build slaves" problem XD 18:49:07 <ea4eoz> the vanished color in old messages (the ones above the dashed red line) 18:49:52 <ea4eoz> vanished or dimm color, I don't know what is the correct word 18:49:53 <flo> ea4eoz: what's wrong about it? It's to show you that you have already read these messages and don't want to waste time reading them again ;) 18:50:04 <flo> ea4eoz: the correct word is "desaturated" I think 18:50:40 <-- sonny has quit (Ping timeout) 18:50:44 <ea4eoz> Well, so "desaturated" colors are too desaturated, and difficult to read :D 18:51:26 <clokep_work> This is on Bubbles, I assume? 18:51:35 * clokep_work thinks a screenshot would help... 18:52:05 * flo things people arguing about colors are boring 18:52:12 <ea4eoz> I don't now because theme names are translated... 18:52:46 <flo> oh btw, it's a loong long time since the last time I heard someone complaining that Bubbles' default colors are Pink and Blue, meaning girl and boy, and hence completely unusable for someone who isn't a teenager any more :) 18:53:21 <ea4eoz> Low contrast letters are difficult to read, it's something like the fuzzy Segoui font from MS, wich causes me several headache... 18:53:42 <clokep_work> Could you file a bug and post a screenshot? 18:53:50 <clokep_work> It could just be you're using a different font than anything we've tried. 18:54:00 <flo> (I meant "arguments about colors" or "watching people arguing about colors", not "people argument about colors". Didn't want to offend any one) 18:54:18 <ea4eoz> It is not really a bug, just a missing option :D 18:54:18 <flo> ea4eoz: the question is: why do you need to read these messages? 18:54:38 <ea4eoz> flo: Why you keep the messages? You already read them :D 18:55:55 <clokep_work> ea4eoz: If that's your thought, then isn't the bug the missing option? File a bug. 18:56:23 <flo> I will wontfix it if there's not a clear explanation of why it's needed though ;) 18:59:57 <flo> do we have a bug on file for trying to display as many active participants as possible in the visible area of the participant list? 19:01:48 --> sonny has joined #instantbird 19:04:47 <ea4eoz> Are themes defined in files? Or they are binary? 19:05:07 <flo> I wonder how binaries could not be in files :-P 19:05:18 <ea4eoz> ;D 19:05:30 <flo> ea4eoz: there are literally hundread of Message themes in the add-on website 19:05:34 <ea4eoz> I mean if themes are XML files or something like that 19:06:26 <flo> ea4eoz: are you interested in creating a new theme? 19:07:00 <ea4eoz> No, I want to see if the "desaturation" is defined somewhere in the theme file :D 19:07:49 <vicnet> Hey, I just noticed that while the release notes say that "Alt-PgUp/PgDn" allow you to quickly jump to the first unread message in a conversation, that doesn't work. It's simply PgUp/PgDn, no Alt needed. I'll correct for the French locale, but this should be corrected everywhere so we don't confuse users :) 19:08:25 <flo> ea4eoz: so why aren't you asking for that *first*, instead of asking strange questions that we can't answer? 19:08:49 --> aleth has joined #instantbird 19:08:49 * ChanServ sets mode +h aleth 19:09:12 <ea4eoz> Because I don't know the inners of the program yet 19:09:24 * aleth reads the topic :) 19:09:36 <flo> ea4eoz: that's an even better reason for asking what you really want :) 19:09:48 <vicnet> aleth: the release notes say to use "Alt-PgUp/PgDn" allow you to quickly jump to the first unread message in a conversation, that doesn't work. It's simply PgUp/PgDn, no Alt needed" 19:10:09 <flo> ea4eoz: http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/instantbird/themes/messages/bubbles/main.css#42 19:10:41 <aleth> vicnet: PgUp/PgDn is just the usual pagewise scrolling, unless there is a bug :-/ 19:11:03 --> Mnyromyr has joined #instantbird 19:11:32 <vicnet> aleth: here when I use PgUp/PgDn it brings me to the first unread message. Alt PgUp/PgDn just jumps to the very top/bottom of the page 19:11:59 <aleth> vicnet: Hmm, which OS are you on? 19:12:08 <vicnet> Linux (Ubuntu) 19:12:13 <-- fenfir has quit (Quit: Leaving.) 19:13:00 <ea4eoz> Thank you flo, but I don't find the themes directory (yet) 19:13:28 <aleth> I'm on Linux too, and it works for me. Alt PgUp/PgDn will only jump to the first unread message if the horizontal line showing where it is is still there 19:13:56 <aleth> It also jumps to the first non-context message if you have restored the conversation from hold. 19:14:11 <aleth> Otherwise it will go to the top/bottom of the page like you say. 19:14:40 <aleth> Btw, you can also use Home/End for the same purpose. 19:14:51 <aleth> (The same as Alt-PgUp/PgDn) 19:15:04 <vicnet> aleth: it jumps to the very top/bottom an in the process removes the horizontal bar⦠Is PgUp/PgDn without alt supposed to simply jump upp and down? Or should it also jump to the horizontal bar? 19:15:11 <ea4eoz> Well, no themes in hard disk... ¿? 19:15:29 <aleth> vicnet: PgUp/PgDn is just the usual "scroll one page up" 19:16:14 --> mikk_s has joined #instantbird 19:16:17 <aleth> Oh, if the horizontal bar and some messages following it are already visible on-screen, then of course it assumes you don't want to scroll there. 19:16:17 <vicnet> aleth: let me join a busy channel (any suggestions?) and test that again, it may have been my error or confusion 19:16:38 <aleth> #ubuntu is really busy ;) 19:16:58 <vicnet> aleth: I'm pretty sure I made sure the horizontal bar was off-screen, but I'll test again. 19:17:03 <-- mikk_s has left #instantbird () 19:19:22 <-- sonny has quit (Ping timeout) 19:19:34 <ea4eoz> Well, direct question: Where is the message themes directory? 19:20:47 <flo> ea4eoz: editing the file of the application directly isn't a good idea; it will break at each update 19:20:56 <flo> there are lots of message themes at https://addons.instantbird.org/en-US/instantbird/browse/type:1/cat:6 19:21:42 <ea4eoz> I know but there is no themes installed: No main.css, no bubles, no papersheet... where are those files installed? 19:21:47 <vicnet> I just created a new IRC account to get on #ubuntu and there was no option in the wizard to enter channels to join by default. That would be nice⦠19:22:28 <flo> ea4eoz: burried deep inside the omni.ja compressed file 19:22:42 <vicnet> is there even a simple way to join a channel on a specific IRC network when no channels are currently open for that network? 19:22:51 <ea4eoz> that would explain a lot... 19:23:00 <aleth> vicnet: "Join Chat" from the menu? 19:23:09 <Mook> vicnet: there should be a File -> Join Chat 19:23:42 <vicnet> lol of course⦠thx and nevermind 19:24:28 <Mook> thanks for asking a question I actually know the answer to ;) 19:24:34 <instantbot> New Instantbird (UI) bug 1622 filed by eric.kow@gmail.com. 19:24:37 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1622 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, use active user information to filter (large) list of users in channel? 19:24:59 <vicnet> Mook: no problem :) 19:32:10 <aleth> Yay clokep_work wrote a nice post for planet moz :) 19:32:32 <vicnet> aleth: I just tested it again: PgUp/PgDn by itself doesn't do it, it was a coincidence. But Alt PgUp/PgDn doesn't work for me, although Home/End worked as intended 19:33:11 <aleth> vicnet: Hmm, that's not good. I'm not on ubuntu, I wonder if Alt-PgUp/Dn is somehow already taken globally there? 19:33:42 <aleth> Just to be sure, could you put your (well-filled) #ubuntu tab on hold, then reopen it when it has a bunch of new messages in it, and then test again? 19:34:11 <vicnet> aleth: well, it didn't do anything else than the normal intended effect of Home/End, which is to scroll all the way to the top/bottom⦠I'm not sure if it's bound to something globally 19:34:24 <aleth> (because those keys should also scroll to the first non-context message, and that's not something that disappears like the unread marker) 19:35:47 <vicnet> aleth: that's what I've been doing (wait until a bunch of messages arrive and test again). I'll try with the hold 19:36:10 <aleth> It's just that as far as I recall the IB code makes no distinction between Home/End and AltPgUp/Dn, so I'm a bit confused. 19:37:27 <vicnet> aleth: And it doesn't seem to be some weird keyboard layout issue; I tried switching to en-US (I normally use fr layout) and it behaved exactly the same⦠19:37:54 <aleth> Right... 19:38:12 <vicnet> aleth: out of curiosity, under what conditions does the horizontal bar disappear? Because when the Alt+PgUp makes me go all the way up it seems to be gone. I'm assuming it disappears once you scroll past it? 19:38:59 <aleth> vicnet: No, scrolling past it should leave it in place (you can check with the scrollbar). Loosely speaking, it disappears when you switch tabs or give some other window focus. 19:40:30 <vicnet> aleth: ah, interesting⦠maybe it has something to do with the new Unity menu that comes up when you press Alt. I don't see it come up, but maybe it catches the Alt and briefly takes focus and messes things up⦠because I don't switch tabs or do anything to make the bar disappear and it's gone as soon as I try to Alt+PgUp/PgDn 19:40:51 <aleth> Hmm, that sounds like it might be an explanation! 19:41:09 <vicnet> aleth: the Unity menu should only come up when you press (and release) alt by itself, but I don't know how it works under the hood⦠19:42:01 <aleth> I don't think IB got a lot of testing on unity... I am on KDE for example. 19:42:20 <vicnet> aleth: interesting results when I put the conversation on hold: it works as intended but the bar does disappear 19:42:36 <vicnet> so, it brings me to where the messages are no longer greyed out, but the line's gone⦠19:42:50 <vicnet> if the convo was not put on hold, it simply goes to the top or bottom⦠19:43:06 <aleth> Interesting. Of course the distinction between greyed out messages (context) and new ones does not go away like the horizontal bar 19:43:21 <aleth> So a focus issue does sound like a likely explanation 19:43:25 <vicnet> by greyed out I meant the desaturated messages from the convo being put on hold 19:43:36 <aleth> Yes, we call those "context messages" 19:43:43 <vicnet> oh :) OK 19:44:18 <ea4eoz> going out for an hour... more later! 19:44:22 <-- ea4eoz has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 19:44:31 <aleth> vicnet: So Alt-PgUp/Dn does scroll correctly there... so it's not that the key is ignored :) 19:45:33 * aleth wonders if it would have been better to put Home/End rather than Alt-PgUp/Dn in the release notes :-S 19:45:42 <vicnet> aleth: yeah, it works correctly when the conversation was on hold. Plus, it does what it's supposed to otherwise, which is act as if home or end are pressed. It's just that the bar is lost :( 19:45:49 <aleth> The issue with Home/End is that of course they don't work if you are halfway through typing a message... 19:46:26 <aleth> vicnet: Sounds like a bug on unity then. Could you file a bug for it please? 19:46:30 <vicnet> well, I almost put PgUp/PgDn on the French locale because I thought that's what was working :) so I'm glad I asked you first⦠I can put Home/End on the French locale⦠19:47:21 <vicnet> aleth: sure, I'll do that. My first time filing a bug; I'll do my best :D 19:47:50 <aleth> You could put it as an alternative. (Like I said, the problem with Home/End is that if you are typing a message, of course it just moves the cursor around, while Alt-PgUp/Dn is meant to always scroll the window) 19:48:58 <vicnet> aleth: OK 19:49:03 <flo> vicnet: see why I wanted you to discuss it with aleth? ;) 19:49:20 <vicnet> flo: yep :) 19:49:47 <dew> this has got to be the most active channel on the server ;) 19:50:09 <aleth> Release day :) 19:50:32 <vicnet> well, as aleth mentioned that IB hasn't been tested in Unity, I also want to mention that there's no system tray icon⦠The system tray was apparently completely changed with Unity⦠IB behaves as it should, but once it's minimized there's no way to open it back up as there's no icon⦠19:51:09 <aleth> I think clokep_work used it on unity for a bit, but not for long. 19:51:19 <vicnet> I had the same issue with Skype until the latest release, where they fixed the icon. I just had to be careful not to close the window or it would be minimized where I couldn't restore it anymore⦠19:51:22 <aleth> That sounds like another bug worth filing... 19:51:39 * aleth mutters something about system trays 19:51:44 <vicnet> :) 19:51:55 <aleth> Each desktop manager seems to have their own little version 19:54:07 <flo> oh man, system trays... :( 19:55:25 <aleth> Apparently Windows 8 apps now sometimes have one in the the app window titlebar :-/ 19:55:45 <aleth> (probably an app tray in that case, I don't know) 19:56:06 <vicnet> alright, I'll file these bugs, but not before eating some food :) brb 19:57:01 <aleth> How's the server holding up? lots of downloads or has no major site spotted it yet? 19:57:22 <aleth> (not that they will, necessarily) 20:03:31 <aleth> Heh https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/947468 20:03:34 <dew> Do you want me to spam it? 20:03:41 <dew> I'll contact neowin 20:03:47 <dew> they'll be all over it ;) 20:03:50 <douglaswth> flo: I sent a message in ISO-8859-1 to my instantbird set with UTF-8 and it doesn't seem to be doing a very good job autoconverting it: it came out as blank 20:03:53 <wnayes> I'm trying to merge my code with the main instanbird repo, and that includes upgrading my mozilla repo. I think I got the same error (http://pastebin.instantbird.com/60131) when going from Moz 12 -> 13, but fixed it by just deleting everything and pulling mozilla again. Is there something I can do that is less destructive? 20:04:48 <aleth> dew: ask flo if he would like to advertise ;) 20:05:03 <wnayes> dew: http://www.neowin.net/news/instantbird-12 Looks like they already have it. 20:05:25 <flo> dew: you mean http://www.neowin.net/news/instantbird-12 ? 20:05:44 <flo> http://www.chip.de/downloads/Instantbird_29200124.html also has it already 20:05:56 <aleth> That was quick... 20:06:40 <aleth> That German one actually links to the release notes 20:07:17 <aleth> I wonder if Mic could tell them it's not Windows-only ;) 20:07:23 <flo> wnayes: you haven't edited anything in the mozilla/ folder right? 20:07:54 <wnayes> flo: No, I'm not sure how I can get my working copy to be Moz14 at this point 20:08:07 <dew> damn flo, they are on the ball with that 20:08:12 <flo> aleth: they already mention that OS X and linux builds can be downloaded from the authors' website ;) 20:08:16 <aleth> douglaswth: you want to talk to clokep_work ;) 20:08:21 <flo> aleth: but they still pretend it's compatible with win2000... 20:08:41 <flo> aleth: nah, clokep_work ignores encoding issues :( 20:08:52 <flo> douglaswth: it's strange, it tends to work very well for me 20:09:20 <douglaswth> flo: maybe it is platform dependent? I'm on windows 7 20:09:22 <flo> wnayes: cd mozilla/ && hg up -C FIREFOX_14_0_1_RELEASE 20:09:29 <flo> douglaswth: ah, quite possible 20:10:08 <flo> douglaswth: it attempts to convert the received characters with both the encoding provided by the user, and the system's default encoding 20:10:21 <flo> on my mac iso-<whatever that number is> is the default 20:10:26 <aleth> douglaswth: Could you pastebin your message and what you received? 20:10:40 <flo> and see if there are errors in the error console! 20:12:26 <wnayes> flo: Thanks, that did the trick :) 20:12:59 <flo> wnayes: :) 20:13:19 <flo> wnayes: I think another solution is: python client.py checkout --skip-instantbird --clean 20:13:31 --> bahrico has joined #instantbird 20:13:39 <flo> (--skip-instantbird is so that the --clean doesn't revert your changes) 20:14:40 <clokep_work> vicnet: I think auto-joined channels is an option in the wizard, is it not? 20:16:10 <flo> clokep_work: it isn't 20:16:18 <flo> it's only in the account properties (stupid) dialog 20:16:39 <clokep_work> aleth: My Ubuntu machien runs Unity...but I SSH into it 98% of the time. So not really tested... 20:17:46 <-- bahrico has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 20:18:34 <douglaswth> flo, aleth: hmm, it messes up with a single character, but I sent a full word that worked fine 20:18:35 <clokep_work> flo: Ah OK. Stupid. :( 20:18:54 <clokep_work> douglaswth: I think it attempts to guess encoding, which is hard to tell from a single character...? 20:19:08 <douglaswth> I'd believe that 20:20:39 <flo> clokep_work: I don't think we guess. iirc we try <user provided encoding> (utf8 in your case) and if that fails we convert the string using the system default encoding 20:20:57 --> bahrico has joined #instantbird 20:20:59 <flo> clokep_work: we wanted to guess, but couldn't figure out how the Mozilla chardet code works 20:21:18 <clokep_work> Ah, maybe that's what it was. Right. And they removed the chardet anyway...(or moved it into nsIDocshell or something). 20:21:25 <-- bahrico has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 20:21:31 <-- GeekShadow has quit (Ping timeout) 20:21:35 <douglaswth> I imagine that the system default on windows isn't latin1 but the weird windows latin1 like encoding 20:22:46 <flo> that's possible :( 20:25:49 --> GeekShadow has joined #instantbird 20:33:35 <clokep_work> douglaswth: It'd be good if you could file a bug with strings you're trying to send (and ideally what is actually being sent to the server, I think...) 20:39:43 <flo> finishing a release feels so much like it's time to take vacations! 20:40:18 <aleth> flo: luckily you have one coming up :) 20:41:28 <flo> aleth: I still have 5 Tb bugs to fix before that! 20:41:32 <flo> in only 2 days 20:41:52 <aleth> uh, is there a merge while you are away? 20:42:09 <flo> aleth: the last Tb15 beta will be built on August 20 20:42:35 <flo> aleth: so basically, when I'll get back from my vacations, it will already be too late to push any additional change for Tb15 20:42:56 <aleth> sounds like you will really need a vacation by friday then ;) 20:43:09 <flo> yeah 20:43:35 <flo> I'll drive 10+ hours Saturday, so I'll probably be more tired after that than Friday evening though ;) 20:44:22 <aleth> more workouts for the AMI... 20:45:01 --> jb has joined #instantbird 20:45:03 <flo> sure, the 2400km in July were definitely not enough for this summer ;) 20:45:20 <flo> uh, jb is in Germany? :) 20:49:20 <jb> flo: yep. Berlin 20:49:37 <jb> flo: oder, ja, im Berlin 20:55:58 --> EionRobb has joined #instantbird 20:57:35 <-- Optimizer has quit (Ping timeout) 20:57:50 <Mook> the chardet code is only usable from C++, IIRC... at least, as of Gecko 1.9.x :p 20:57:56 <Mook> (touched it for songbird at one point) 20:58:32 <clokep_work> Mook: Yes, it still is. 20:58:57 <clokep_work> You're using Daily full time for IRC now? 20:59:11 <Mook> yep 20:59:31 <flo> sounds better than ChatZilla :) 20:59:39 <clokep_work> Nice. :) No more _as? 20:59:54 <Mook> I'm on a break from work at the moment, will be back in ~ month or so 21:00:08 <clokep_work> Wow, nice break. :) 21:00:23 <clokep_work> That means...you have time to work on Instantbird, right? :P 21:01:25 <Mook> right :p 21:01:43 <Mook> </s> 21:02:39 <flo> so we just need to find some obscure and difficult bug to motivate Mook to spend his time on it :) 21:02:55 * clokep_work is now known as EionRobb_ 21:03:00 <aleth> add-onify the Tb conv-binding should do it ;) 21:03:00 <EionRobb_> File transfer? 21:03:04 * EionRobb_ is now known as clokep_work 21:03:14 <aleth> (that probably isn't even that hard...) 21:03:14 <Mook> I started to work on the copy thing, then got fed up with how bad logging was :p 21:03:29 <flo> the copy thing? 21:03:40 <EionRobb> clokep_work: aww, I was going to say that :P 21:03:50 <Mook> not copying the copy-on-select stuff on linux, IIRC, due to interaction with the smart copy code 21:04:16 * Mook isn't that excited about trying to implement DCC SEND 21:05:15 <EionRobb> can I be excited for you? ;) 21:05:33 <flo> clokep_work: bah, you confused me with your nick change, because Instantbird showed me "File transfer?" was from clokep_work because of the clokep_work color, and only after that, when I saw EionRobb talking, I noticed the previous message was with a nick that looked like EionRobb :-S 21:05:50 <Mook> dude, IRC specs 21:06:05 <Mook> nothing touching that can exceed the horribleness 21:06:11 <flo> Mook: then just reimplement MSNP with file transfer support? :) 21:07:16 <aleth> Just pull in FileLink and forget about protocol-specific messes :) 21:08:32 <clokep_work> The DCC stuff actually is fairly well specific IIRC. 21:08:38 <clokep_work> ALthough there's like 40 alterations to it. 21:09:02 <Mook> huh, lurking on #cz made me think it was a horrible mess 21:09:13 <Mook> though that might have to do with resumes 21:10:04 <clokep_work> Yes. And that their code is from like the 1960s. ;) 21:12:18 <Mook> as I understood it, it mostly had to do with mIRC doing some crazy things that were under-specified. 21:12:44 <clokep_work> I think you pretty much just summarized all of IRC. 21:13:22 <Mook> pretty much, yeah 21:14:51 <flo> wnayes: is it standard to have a "skip" button between "back" and "next"? (re http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/UIWelcomeCurrent.png) 21:16:17 <wnayes> flo: Not sure, the wizard dictates a lot of the button placement. I might have moved it there as opposed to the far left. 21:17:09 <Mook> Hmm. Please ignore me if you don't feel like talking UI: 21:17:09 <Mook> List the found accounts, with checkboxes, so skip is just "check nothing and press next"? 21:17:13 <clokep_work> Mook: Compile Instantbird w/ m-c and then play with WebRTC stuff? 21:17:21 * Mook wonders what the difference between Skip and Cancel is 21:17:50 <Mook> That reminds me, I have more silly things to play with... BBL, going to try to compile fennec for x86 again 21:17:58 <wnayes> Mook: Skip brings up the protocol list for adding a new account. 21:18:50 <wnayes> I am thinking that welcome page would be shown only once, and then buttons in the account manager could jump users to where they want to go. 21:19:22 <wnayes> (as in, http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/UIAccountsManagerCurrent.png) 21:20:18 <flo> I dislike that "Import Accounts" button in the account manager 21:20:29 <flo> it's an action that users are likely to do only once, maybe twice 21:20:36 <flo> it shouldn't be that visible 21:20:42 <aleth> "skip" does look a bit confusing. 21:22:09 <aleth> And you don't need a back button on the first page. 21:22:48 <flo> I think "Skip" should be where there's usually the "next" button 21:22:48 <aleth> maybe just "import" and "skip"? 21:23:07 <flo> and whatever we put in the middle of the window should have a way to start the import 21:23:11 <aleth> (no separate "cancel") 21:23:13 <clokep_work> Wow at 379 downloads? http://queze.net/goinfre/instantbird-1.2.download-count.txt 21:23:46 <flo> and then we don't need the "import accounts" button in the account manager, because we can just show again the same wizard page the next time the wizard is opened 21:24:29 <flo> wnayes: do you have some code to check if an account you detected as importable is already configured in the user's profile? If it is, I think we should either not list it, or list it with the checkbox unchecked by default. 21:25:18 <wnayes> I did add detection for that, though things like an email with/without an ending slash might get through. 21:25:59 <flo> you mean with or without resource for gtalk/xmpp? 21:26:12 <-- EionRobb has quit (Ping timeout) 21:26:16 <flo> (I don't see why there would be a / at the end of an email of an MSN account) 21:26:57 <wnayes> I check the each found account against existing imIAccount name and protocol. 21:27:13 <-- gerard-majax has quit (Ping timeout) 21:27:51 <wnayes> Just wasn't sure if that was extensive enough to prevent anything slipping though. I thought I had noticed Pidgin tacking on "\"s to emails 21:28:36 <wnayes> But I would say it would be best to avoid duplicates as the log importing might end up duplicating content. It is really designed to happen once. 21:29:52 --> EionRobb has joined #instantbird 21:30:46 <flo> wnayes: so there's code when creating a new account from the current wizard to check for duplicates and prevent the user from creating duplicates. 21:31:01 <flo> wnayes: you should just call that, and if it doesn't work, it's the prpl author's fault, not yours 21:31:28 <wnayes> flo: Yes :) http://hg.instantbird.org/users/wnayes/file/tip/instantbird/content/accountWizard.js#l98 21:32:11 <wnayes> If seen as a duplicate a found account won't be listed at all. 21:32:22 <clokep_work> Uhh...that's a }... 21:32:36 <flo> wnayes: I meant http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/instantbird/content/accountWizard.js#68 21:33:17 <wnayes> Ah I must have committed since, I was trying Line 94 21:34:27 <wnayes> Oh, didn't know that existed. :) Probably covers a few more checks too. 21:34:38 <-- Mnyromyr has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [SeaMonkey 1.1.19/2010030105]) 21:34:43 <flo> wnayes: the account names are normalized by the protocol plugins 21:35:05 <flo> if accountExists returns false and leads you to create a duplicate, it's the plug-in's fault 21:35:38 <clokep_work> Isn't that unimplemented for JS Protos? ;) 21:35:51 <flo> (and I think all JS prpls suck at it currently, untly 1511 gets fixed) 21:35:58 <wnayes> flo: OK, I had read an above message as a question ("so there's code when creating...") 21:36:04 <flo> clokep_work: it's waiting for your review apparently :-P 21:36:11 <clokep_work> flo: Yes. 21:36:18 <clokep_work> Well it's a 1.3 feature apparently. ;) 21:36:46 <flo> clokep_work: we could have taken it for 1.2 21:36:57 <clokep_work> flo: If I had reviewed it. 21:37:00 * clokep_work ran out of time. 21:37:47 <flo> yeah, that happens for all releases anyway, some patches barely miss it 21:38:04 <wnayes> My biggest concern is still the first wizard page, as there's a lot of ideas being discussed about buttons, content, etc. 21:38:44 <aleth> I think you need only 2 buttons on that page 21:39:26 <wnayes> What about not having any additional buttons, and if accounts are found the message in the middle will linkify and say something like "X accounts were found, [click here] to view them." 21:39:48 <wnayes> which would create the page advance 21:45:07 <flo> wnayes: that's more or less what I was about to suggest 21:45:27 <flo> and the "next" button can be "skip" until the found accounts are shown 21:45:38 <aleth> But not a link - that makes it look like it will open a webpage. 21:48:07 <wnayes> flo: I'm leaning towards not having the search start unless prompted by the user. The search is really fast, and might create confusion if there's flickering right away on the first page. 21:48:49 <flo> I don't understand. Why would you not want to do the search if it's fast? 21:50:06 <clokep_work> Isn't the point that the search should just run (at least if it's never been run) 21:50:09 <flo> are you sure it will be fast on a machine where disk I/O are slow (network drive, machine currently swapping...) 21:50:58 <-- clokep_work has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 21:51:03 <wnayes> As it is now there's a bit of commotion on the wizard opening, as it flicks from "Searching for accounts" and the ticker to "X accounts were found". And some users might not appreciate this happening without their consent (and on every wizard instance opened) 21:51:09 --> jb1 has joined #instantbird 21:52:31 <-- jb has quit (Ping timeout) 21:53:12 <wnayes> And it could take longer on other machines, so I guess what I'm suggesting is the user be aware that the search can be done, have a control (button, etc.) to start the search, and then a way to view these accounts. But if they are not interested, Next would head to the regular new account configuration. 22:06:06 <flo> wnayes: so if the user asked us to do the search, we no longer need the place holder with "N accounts were found", we can directly show the accounts as we find them 22:07:45 <wnayes> flo: I'm thinking there are still issues with the threading too... 22:07:59 <flo> the threading? 22:09:16 <wnayes> The UI seems to stall up during the search (from what I can tell, again, it's so fast and it happens on the window opening that I'm not 100% sure) 22:10:44 <-- vicnet has quit (Ping timeout) 22:10:50 <flo> during disk I/O? 22:11:00 <flo> aaaah, that kind of threads! 22:11:28 <flo> I was still thinking about UI, so I thought you were talking about some kind of conversation or email threads, and I didn't see how it was related :-D 22:12:20 <wnayes> flo: The executeSoon business :s 22:13:04 <flo> executeSoon doesn't make disk I/O non blocking 22:14:12 <wnayes> I believe just about all of my disk I/O is through NetUtils.asyncFetch... there might be one instance where it is not 22:14:42 <flo> uh, vicnet left just when I wanted to ask something :-/ 22:14:50 --> vicnet has joined #instantbird 22:14:54 <flo> wnayes: would be nice to check :) 22:15:02 <flo> vicnet: could you join #frenchmoz ? :) 22:16:58 <wnayes> flo: In XChat I needed to read two files, and I did a sync read within the async reading method to avoid some issue I thought I might have (or was having, this was quite awhile ago :)) 22:17:37 <flo> seems like something we will need to fix someday ;) 22:17:49 <wnayes> I'll try disabling that one and seeing if the UI issues stem from that 22:18:11 <vicnet> flo: I was already there :) just not paying attention though, so thanks 22:20:07 <instantbot> aletheia2@fastmail.fm requested feedback from florian@instantbi rd.org for attachment 1730 on bug 1547. 22:20:09 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547 nor, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Check for open conversations when adding a buddy 22:20:23 <aleth> ^^ not for this week ;) 22:20:40 <flo> aleth: I'm scared just by the title of the bug! 22:21:49 <aleth> yeah... it kind of goes together with bug 1569 22:21:52 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1569 enh, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Add someone as a buddy directly from an open conversation 22:22:41 <flo> wnayes: so I would suggest that we talk about this part of the UI (the first step) again tomorrow. I'll sleep on it :). 22:23:01 <flo> I've got some comments about your other screenshots: 22:23:06 <wnayes> flo: OK, sounds good. 22:23:23 <flo> about http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/UISelectAccountsCurrent.png Shouldn't the radio buttons be disabled if there's only one possible client to import from? 22:23:43 --> ea4eoz has joined #instantbird 22:24:00 <flo> I think the borders between the accounts are not correctly themed. They should look like the borders between accounts in the account manager. (aren't these borders dotted on Windows?) 22:24:16 <-- jb1 has quit (Connection reset by peer) 22:24:52 <flo> and some of the spacing isn't right. There's too much horizontal space between the protocol icon and the check box. It should be the same as the horizontal spacing you have between the protocol icon and the 2 labels. 22:25:31 <wnayes> flo: What do you think about a combobox instead of the radiobuttons (and just a label as you mention when only one client has an account)? 22:25:35 <flo> there's too much vertical spacing between the account name and the "Import from" label. It should be the same as the spacing between the top of the account name and the border above it; and the between the "Import from" label and the border under it. 22:26:11 <flo> wnayes: not sure. 22:26:38 <flo> wnayes: would be easier to have an opinion if you could show the current design with 2 or more clients for the same account, and a mockup of what a combobox would look like instead 22:27:07 <wnayes> The radiobuttons really absorb a lot of space in the wizard window and make the listitem heights unequal. 22:27:10 <wnayes> OK :) 22:28:17 <flo> wnayes: I think combobox could be ok, yes. 22:28:43 <flo> still on that step of the wizard, what about greying out the protocol icons of the accounts that are unchecked? 22:29:23 <flo> well, greying out is a bit difficult (needs an svg filter...) maybe just use the opacity, like we do on the account manager 22:29:54 <wnayes> flo: Sounds cool to me :) 22:30:16 <flo> could also grey out the names 22:30:25 <flo> basically, just follow the current theme of the account manager, so that it looks consistent 22:31:03 <flo> ok, and now http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/UIAccountSummaryCurrent.png 22:31:09 <wnayes> I had an image in the pad previously of a multi-radiobutton listitem, http://i.imgur.com/hIPPG.png 22:32:44 <flo> ok, thanks. Yes, you are right that it's not really pretty when the same account is on multiple existing clients (do we expect this to be a frequent situation?) 22:33:27 <flo> so about http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/UIAccountSummaryCurrent.png My first reaction when seeing this image was "uh, this looks like someone forgot to include the css file for this xul dialog" 22:35:42 <wnayes> the checkboxes are definitely in need of rethinking, but the basic idea was to have a smaller list item with a quick summary an account. 22:36:10 <flo> wnayes: at this point these accounts almost exist, so I think they should look almost like in the account manager 22:36:43 <flo> the smaller icons isn't a good idea. You are closer to have the accounts, and the icon becomes smaller (as if it was now further away)? 22:37:53 <-- barlas has quit (Quit: barlas) 22:37:54 <flo> my suggestion would be to use exactly the layout of the account manager. Big icon on the left side. Bold account name on the first line. On the second line the text "Will be imported from <client name>" and on the right side of the first line, the checkbox, with the checkbox on the right (like in the account manager). 22:38:18 <flo> borders between accounts like in the account manager (on mac there's no border, it's just the background color of accounts that alternates) 22:38:56 <wnayes> My rationale was that "Add another account" would allow more and more accounts to be listed there, so the list could potentially get long. But I get what you are saying. 22:39:43 <flo> yeah, you could get a scrollbar 22:39:52 <flo> I think the current summary can already have a scrollbar 22:42:31 <-- flo has quit (Ping timeout) 22:46:04 <GeekShadow> yo 22:46:06 <GeekShadow> congrats ! 22:46:15 <GeekShadow> oh flo no more here :p 22:49:48 <aleth> He will see it tomorrow :) 22:50:45 --> flo has joined #instantbird 22:50:45 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 22:51:22 <flo> so, my stupid phone doesn't work correctly when plugged to a power outlet... 22:51:24 <flo> I was saying: 22:51:30 <flo> 00:41:14 - flo : wnayes: so I was thinking we should use the same summary when importing accounts and when adding new accounts, and the line "Will be imported from Pidgin" would be replaced with "Will be created", but if we do that, I'm wondering how one can change his mind and cancel one of the accounts on the list 22:51:30 <flo> 00:41:48 - flo : and now I'm thinking http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/UISelectAccountsCurrent.png and http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/UIAccountSummaryCurrent.png are the same step 22:51:30 <flo> 00:42:46 - flo : we just need to have a checkbox next to all accounts in the summary to cancel the creation of that account. 22:51:43 <-- flo has quit (Input/output error) 22:51:46 --> flo has joined #instantbird 22:51:47 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 22:52:38 <GeekShadow> hey flo congrats :) 22:52:49 <GeekShadow> when will automatic updates will be pushed ? 22:52:49 <flo> GeekShadow: :) 22:52:58 <flo> GeekShadow: probably tomorrow 22:53:03 <GeekShadow> ok 22:53:06 <flo> GeekShadow: but you can already click "check for updates" 22:53:11 <flo> it should work 22:53:14 <GeekShadow> it's not 22:53:17 <flo> it did during my testing on mac at least 22:53:23 <flo> ah? 22:53:33 <flo> is this from linux? 22:53:39 <instantbot> New Instantbird (UI) bug 1623 filed by goofyfr@gmail.com. 22:53:42 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1623 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, [fr] typofixing on myspace.properties file 22:53:46 <GeekShadow> on Windows 7/x86 version 1.1 (20111014141651) 22:53:53 <GeekShadow> ahhh goofy :D 22:53:59 <flo> :) 22:54:20 <wnayes> flo: At one point I had thought they could be the same step too. The account immediately added could be removed by hitting Back and reconfiguring (I'm thinking I'll need to keep the configurations of all creating accounts in some stack to keep track during the wizard Back/Next navigation) 22:54:21 <flo> has anybody successfully tested the update on Windows? 22:54:24 <GeekShadow> flo, are you coming to the mozcamp in september ? 22:54:31 <flo> GeekShadow: yes 22:54:48 <GeekShadow> great 22:55:15 <flo> wnayes: so what's blocking you to put these 2 steps in one? 22:55:40 <roflo1> Auto update still says "no updates availoable" (Win7) 22:55:57 <wnayes> flo: Nothing, I just didn't do that at the time I made the basic UI 22:57:09 * wnayes is not sure if he was having importing search threading issues or if just all windows have varying render times... 22:57:27 <-- roflo1 has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.1) 22:57:46 <flo> aleth: just glanced at your patch. Any reason for not calling _forgetConv in the replaceConv method? 22:59:22 <flo> oooooh, I forgot to clear the update cache after enabling them! 22:59:43 <aleth> Yes, I don't want to destroy the browser and I don't need to unregister the conversation 23:00:19 <aleth> (I want to register it) 23:00:51 <flo> can whoever tested the update with the nick roflo1 test again? :) 23:01:38 <aleth> That sounds like something for the wiki ;) 23:01:53 <flo> aleth: what? 23:02:05 <aleth> "clear the update cache after enabling..." 23:02:37 <flo> I hope to find the time and motivation to rewrite the server side of the update system for 1.3 ;) 23:03:06 <flo> I'm tired of the SQL hand editing currently involved, and messing with files on the disk. I would like it to have a very simple web UI that other people could access too 23:03:39 <flo> the web ui should provide simple stats of what updates are being done, so that it's possible to spot mistakes (or "strange activities") quickly after performing a change 23:04:47 <flo> it should also make it easy to test the changes (ie display the result of some common requests) 23:05:27 <aleth> I wonder how easy that is, but less painful releases sounds good.. 23:06:42 <flo> aleth: I would drop many features of the existing system 23:07:02 <flo> aleth: we made it way too complicated. We thought we could fully automate it. 23:07:20 <flo> That never worked because version numbering schemes change more or less for each release 23:07:39 <flo> there's currently a complicated channel handling, but we are no longer doing alpha and beta builds since 1.0 has been released 23:09:19 <flo> and major updates. Such a mess! They are supposed to be automatic, and detected based on the version number of the build requesting an update, and the version numbers of what's registered in the update system. 23:09:33 <aleth> Sounds like a headache. 23:09:48 <aleth> Clever, but... 23:10:38 <aleth> Hopefully it won't need a complete rewrite when you strip it down... 23:11:05 <flo> and since we put that update system in place, we kept piling more hacks above it to make it do things that became needed, but it wasn't designed to do at first. 23:11:28 <flo> parts of the code should be reusable 23:12:36 <flo> something that we also failed to design is expiring old irrelevant builds 23:12:48 <flo> I think there's 3000 or so builds registered in the system currently 23:12:58 <flo> if not more 23:13:01 <aleth> whoa! 23:13:10 <aleth> all the nightlies... 23:13:21 <flo> nightlies that are more than 3 days old are completely useless (from an update system point of view) 23:14:23 <flo> but even some releases are likely now pointless in the update system 23:14:57 <flo> we only need to keep those that we want to be able to create partial update files from (so for 1.2 we needed to have 1.0 and 1.1 in the update system) and we also need to have all version that are the last supporting an OS 23:15:07 <flo> so for example 0.2 was the latest release supporting OS X 10.4 23:15:28 <flo> 1.1 was the last supporting Windows 2000 and XP pre SP2 23:15:35 <flo> 1.2 will be the last supporting PPC and OS X 10.5 23:16:11 <flo> btw, desupporting some old OS versions is also something we completely failed to design. 23:16:12 <aleth> But that'll be around 10-20 versions, not thousands... 23:18:20 <flo> some things magically worked though 23:18:36 <flo> 1.2a1pre were automagically updated to 1.3a1pre (I think the were at least) 23:19:10 <aleth> Hmm, I could have tested that... 23:19:23 --> clokep has joined #instantbird 23:19:23 * ChanServ sets mode +o clokep 23:19:56 <aleth> You're right :) 23:20:33 <GeekShadow> flo, ok update work now 23:20:33 <flo> can anybody confirm that the 1.1->1.2 update works as expected on windows? 23:20:37 <GeekShadow> :D 23:20:49 <GeekShadow> almost read your mind 23:20:49 <aleth> Though the a1pre suffix is really confusing... 23:21:05 <flo> aleth: you want to drop it? 23:21:33 <flo> aleth: I think the update system has decided that 1.*pre is nightlies of 1.0 ;) 23:21:47 <aleth> I don't particularly mind, but why isn't it just 1.2a? 23:21:49 <wnayes> flo: I'm on 1.3a1pre which updated this morning from 1.2a1pre like any other update would. 23:22:00 <flo> wnayes: :) 23:22:01 <GeekShadow> flo, update worked 23:22:31 <aleth> But if it ain't broke... ;) 23:23:30 <dew> flo never sleeps 23:24:43 <vicnet> Hey aleth, since there's that bug open for Unity about the Alt key, should I still file one for Instabtbird? 23:24:55 <aleth> vicnet: Yes please 23:25:01 <vicnet> OK 23:25:19 <aleth> It's not necessarily quite the same thing... and it's still something we should track 23:25:51 <vicnet> alright; I'll be sure to refer to the Unity bug on there 23:26:07 <aleth> Oh, btw could you try this and see if it makes the problem go away? http://askubuntu.com/questions/122209/how-do-i-modify-or-disable-the-huds-use-of-the-alt-key 23:26:17 <aleth> Just to check the diagnosis... 23:26:27 <vicnet> sure 23:27:02 <flo> dew: I think I should go to bed actually :-P 23:27:56 <vicnet> lol I didn't even know there was a system setting option up there⦠d'oh 23:28:05 <clokep> aleth: It's 1.3a would mean "1.3 alpha" the "pre" tag means it's a nightly build, essentially. 23:28:50 <aleth> If it was done from scratch, we could just call it "nightly" 23:28:56 <flo> and alpha/beta always have a number 23:29:07 <flo> aleth: we still want to know which nightly it is 23:29:19 <aleth> flo: I meant as the suffix ;) 23:29:23 <flo> aleth: if we were 100% sure we will never want to release an alpha or beta, it could be 1.3pre 23:29:25 <vicnet> aleth: yep, that fixes it :) thanks! That HUD thing was annoying to me for other reasons, too⦠23:30:10 <aleth> vicnet: cool :) Now we have a workaround to share... 23:30:36 <vicnet> aleth: I guess I'll mention that on the bug report as well :) 23:30:43 <aleth> :) 23:32:11 --> dread has joined #instantbird 23:32:28 <flo> ah, wrong IRC client ;) 23:32:53 <aleth> vicnet: Put in your ubuntu and unity version too... (those are 2 different things apparently) 23:33:11 <vicnet> OK 23:33:32 <flo> good night :) 23:33:34 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2 -- http://www.instantbird.com) 23:33:42 <instantbot> clokep@gmail.com requested review from vicnett@gmail.com for attachment 1795 on bug 1623. 23:33:45 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1623 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, [fr] typofixing on myspace.properties file 23:34:00 <clokep> I think that's the right person... 23:34:38 <vicnet> yep 23:36:25 <-- dread has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88.2 [Firefox 14.0.1/20120713134347]) 23:37:56 <vicnet> clokep: I'm so new to all this⦠that just means you want me to review the patch, and apply it and resolve the bug if applicable, right? 23:40:10 <clokep> vicnet: Right, so it means you should review it (r+ if it's good or r- if it's bad). And if it's r-...include some comments about what to fix. 23:40:21 <clokep> If it's good then apply the patch and commit it (using the patch authors name). 23:40:33 <clokep> And then resolve the bug as fixed and include a link to the commit that fixes it. :) 23:40:54 <aleth> myspace hasa /torch command?! 23:41:01 <vicnet> clokep: OK, thanks for the mini-tutorial :) I'll do that now 23:41:30 <vicnet> aleth: that was my first thought when I saw that as well⦠23:44:37 <clokep> vicnet: No problem. Let me know if you have more questions. 23:44:51 <clokep> (Oh and if the bug is valid you should mark it as assigned, new, resolved and the assignee, etc.!) 23:45:32 <vicnet> clokep: OK, thanks! I probably will have more questions 23:45:53 <vicnet> well, here's one: so I assign it to myself? 23:46:22 <clokep> You assign it to the person who is working on it (i.e. who made the patch). 23:47:27 <vicnet> OK, so not me⦠:) 23:49:25 <clokep> Would be...goofy. 23:51:17 <vicnet> Correct. So, do I need to mark the bug as new, then assign it to goofy, then resolve it, or is that all done in one step once I've reviewed the patch? 23:51:22 * vicnet so confused 23:51:39 <clokep> If you checked it in already, you can immediately go from confirmed to resolved. 23:51:56 <clokep> Uusally bugs sit for a long time as unconfirmed or "new" (new means, "Yes, we know it's a bug, but no one is working on it.") 23:51:58 --> deOmega has joined #instantbird 23:52:12 <clokep> Then once someone works on it...it'll be "assigned"...usually for some time while reviews occur. 23:52:24 <clokep> Then once it's fixed, we set it to resolved fixed. 23:53:00 <deOmega> hi guys, I have a message style that I would like to upload or if someone would like to try it first. 23:53:02 <vicnet> OK, so you were just giving me general guidlines. In this case I'll just jump to resolved then? 23:53:17 <deOmega> it is a slight modification of cleanless sharp 23:53:41 <aleth> Yay, deOmega is writing add-ons! :) 23:54:20 <deOmega> lol. Not so fast, just a mild modification 23:54:20 <aleth> deOmega: Easiest way is to just upload it - it will be marked "experimental" anyway until you decide you want to take it public 23:54:57 <deOmega> ok great.. the license part.. it is custom on the site. 23:55:03 <deOmega> https://addons.instantbird.org/en-US/instantbird/addon/117#reviews 23:55:19 <deOmega> so i am planning to just do teh same thing. no? 23:55:45 <clokep> vicnet: Precisely. 23:56:17 <deOmega> congratulations on teh release by the way.. and very nice update on what has been going on in the background 23:56:18 <clokep> deOmega: You can check the license on the original site like the license says. :) 23:56:46 <clokep> Is it actually a modification to that style or is it a fix to get it to work in Instantbird btw? 23:56:56 <clokep> aleth should know how we handle that... 23:57:16 <aleth> If it's a fix then an admin can add deOmega to the author list and he then "owns" it and can upload new versions 23:57:24 <deOmega> It is just a modification... it was working with IB fine once the install.rdf was modified 23:58:52 <deOmega> I will just fire away and not make it complicated since this isnot brain surgery :) 23:59:07 <aleth> Yes it's quite straightforward 23:59:30 <-- wnayes has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 23:59:31 <aleth> (well... it's AIO, so with a pinch of salt...)
