**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 19 03:00:02 2012 Aug 19 04:23:04 anyone here know a way to packet-sniff a touchpad? Aug 19 04:23:49 EricBlade: do you mean packet sniff the TP itself or packet sniff WITH the TP Aug 19 04:24:08 i need to verify that the touchpad is or is not sending out packets that match exactly what i think i'm sending out Aug 19 04:25:20 I use backtrack for that sort of thing Aug 19 04:25:26 ? Aug 19 04:25:43 it's technically packet interception Aug 19 06:31:17 EricBlade, bug #65? what is that? Aug 19 06:33:01 ka6sox: is that the one i filed last night? Aug 19 06:34:12 yes, I don't see a description, so I'm not understanding ti. Aug 19 06:34:16 er it. Aug 19 06:34:19 if so, it's a luna restart when sideswiping with no apps open Aug 19 06:34:39 probably new since infinite card i'm guessing Aug 19 06:34:49 ah Aug 19 06:34:54 so it does happen Aug 19 06:34:57 ah, okay I didn't see description so didn't understand it. Aug 19 06:35:08 ericblade: I hate to do this to you Aug 19 06:35:09 i described it. in verse. Aug 19 06:35:12 but I'm hitting the floor Aug 19 06:35:18 so I should probably hit the sack Aug 19 06:36:01 * ka6sox is blind! Aug 19 06:36:09 of course. Aug 19 06:36:12 but I'm also going to try to hit the ground, running, tomorrow. Both with your bugs and that one. I think I know where it lies. Aug 19 06:36:37 your app, I don't know, but lunace, I think I know where it is, just need to figure out how to fix it Aug 19 06:37:08 LarrySteeze, did you see the one I hit earlier today? Aug 19 06:37:09 probably an easy fix actually, just need to add a check for active or minimized cards Aug 19 06:37:23 ka6sox: I saw what you were saying, but I couldn't replicate it Aug 19 06:37:41 fluid enabled Aug 19 06:38:13 upswipe from bezel edge to center to bezel edge in one motion...no finger lift Aug 19 06:38:27 so up and then down. Aug 19 06:38:58 leaves app defocused and just type/QC up Aug 19 06:39:43 again Aug 19 06:39:45 can't get it to replicate Aug 19 06:40:11 wierd... Aug 19 06:40:15 shifty was able to Aug 19 06:40:22 I'm even doing figure 8's on the screen Aug 19 06:40:26 trying everything Aug 19 06:40:40 I was playing with it... Aug 19 06:40:53 upswipe from bottom bezel to center of screen to side bezel with no finger lift, right? Aug 19 06:41:00 no Aug 19 06:41:10 then I'm doing it wrong Aug 19 06:41:31 bottom to centre to bottom Aug 19 06:41:52 aha Aug 19 06:41:55 I see that Aug 19 06:42:01 know what's funny about it? Aug 19 06:42:13 * ka6sox waits for it Aug 19 06:42:17 that's something I'd actually like to call a feature, not a bug Aug 19 06:42:25 even though it's accidental Aug 19 06:42:41 heh Aug 19 06:42:45 seriously Aug 19 06:42:55 I miss the wave bar, and it's somewhat of a suitable replacement Aug 19 06:42:56 you and shifty think alike Aug 19 06:43:09 just document it.... Aug 19 06:43:14 except when you open another app Aug 19 06:43:19 from the bar Aug 19 06:43:28 it leaves a strange area on the bottom Aug 19 06:43:44 and shifts the app up a bit (doesn't open virtual keyboard either) Aug 19 06:43:47 have to be able to dismiss QC/JT Aug 19 06:43:58 and put focus back on app. Aug 19 06:44:08 yeah Aug 19 06:44:15 it also did some strange card stuff Aug 19 06:44:23 I'll have to look into this one too Aug 19 06:44:35 shifty and I were talking about re-introducing the wave bar anyway Aug 19 06:44:37 the best one I saw today.... Aug 19 06:45:03 Full screen app in BG...cardview with infinite cycling in front of that. Aug 19 06:46:13 I believe that's what I just experienced Aug 19 06:46:31 no longer a feature Aug 19 06:46:48 that's a friggin millipede Aug 19 06:47:00 I had to luna restart Aug 19 06:47:38 wheee... Aug 19 06:49:01 want me to write it up? Aug 19 06:49:17 I can in the morning Aug 19 06:49:26 I can't right now. I need sleep Aug 19 06:49:32 I can... Aug 19 06:49:39 I just woke up from a nap. Aug 19 06:53:29 ok Aug 19 06:54:32 ka6sox: full screen app in background, with cardview in front? sounds like someone implemented active wallpapers. Aug 19 06:55:33 ericblade: we technically got active walpapers working 2 years ago Aug 19 06:56:06 it was just a battery hog with a constantly rendering/changing wallpaper Aug 19 06:56:34 I mean like battery gone in hours Aug 19 07:02:01 so, it was like owning a Pre2? Aug 19 07:02:13 :0 Aug 19 07:03:12 yup Aug 19 07:03:33 okay...I need to *attempt* to get back on a "normal" schedule... Aug 19 07:03:58 since I can't spell today Aug 19 13:13:13 morning all Aug 19 13:22:11 good morning Aug 19 14:57:55 ShiftyAxel: I'll try your fix in a few min Aug 19 14:58:04 cheers pc-world Aug 19 14:59:58 ShiftyAxel: which repo is 9a75b98bfe in? Aug 19 15:00:03 /branch Aug 19 15:00:22 features Aug 19 15:00:34 has another couple of fixes in it too Aug 19 15:00:43 oops, I forgot to F5 the commits Aug 19 15:04:45 * pc-world is compiling... Aug 19 15:08:16 sweet, good luck Aug 19 15:09:04 ShiftyAxel: did you commit the binary? Aug 19 15:09:12 LarrySteeze: no, not yet Aug 19 15:09:15 ah Aug 19 15:09:20 I was hoping to do a bit more bugfixing first Aug 19 15:09:24 I was wondering why he was compiling :P Aug 19 15:09:34 perhaps see what I can do about the smilies/@.com keys Aug 19 15:09:44 I think we should remove them Aug 19 15:09:55 people use smiles too much :D Aug 19 15:11:06 manually typed smilies without - noses are fine in my book :P Aug 19 15:11:21 for some reason the - repulses me Aug 19 15:12:10 replusses or repulses? Aug 19 15:12:46 I don't like smilies with "-" in the middle either ^^ Aug 19 15:12:53 Luna rebooting... Aug 19 15:12:57 *restarting Aug 19 15:14:48 LOL - did you break something or was it me? :P screenshots following Aug 19 15:17:20 http://www.abload.de/img/unknown_2012-19-08_17rirsw.png Aug 19 15:17:20 http://www.abload.de/img/unknown_2012-19-08_17hxr5i.png Aug 19 15:17:20 http://www.abload.de/img/unknown_2012-19-08_1716ofv.png Aug 19 15:19:01 did you clobber first? Aug 19 15:19:11 no Aug 19 15:19:34 that's happened to me a few times, most often the result of the builder getting confused because I hadn't clobbered after switching branches Aug 19 15:19:37 I just git pulled, then compiled and pushed the binary Aug 19 15:20:08 I didn't switch any branches, but considering the time it took, one might assume that it recompiled everything Aug 19 15:21:26 it's definately done something wrong though :p Aug 19 15:21:56 same thing after Luna restart, I'll remove the object files and recompile Aug 19 15:22:51 umm... these binaries severely increase the repository size... any reason you include them in the repo? Aug 19 15:23:31 (it's pretty unusual that the binary result is included in a git repo) Aug 19 15:25:08 it was rwhitby's idea, it's so I can push up a release candidate binary for people to easily test with Aug 19 15:25:25 it isn't updated every commit though Aug 19 15:26:11 ShiftyAxel: you could use github's download feature instead Aug 19 15:26:34 (afaik you can upload files to the "downloads" page) Aug 19 15:49:53 ShiftyAxel: Luna works fine now; though I've a problem since yesterday, so I can't test your bug fix right now: no gestures are recognized anymore, no matter what "gesture detection" is set to... any ideas? Aug 19 15:50:22 (upswipe and "side bezel gestures" don't work) Aug 19 15:55:35 hm Aug 19 15:55:51 have a poke around in Screen&Lock, see if advanced gestures is enabled, try toggling it on and odd Aug 19 15:55:57 s/odd/off/ Aug 19 15:55:57 ShiftyAxel meant: have a poke around in Screen&Lock, see if advanced gestures is enabled, try toggling it on and off Aug 19 16:01:30 ShiftyAxel: oh, it was disabled for some reason, thx Aug 19 16:03:05 ShiftyAxel: #57 seems to be fixed ow Aug 19 16:03:06 *now Aug 19 16:03:37 pc-world: excellent, i'll note it :) Aug 19 16:04:02 * ShiftyAxel closes #57 Aug 19 16:04:29 ShiftyAxel: it's fun closing bugs, isn't it? :D Aug 19 16:04:36 sure is :) Aug 19 16:05:18 shouldn't status be "closed"? Because if status == "resolved", it still shows up in "View all open issues" Aug 19 16:34:28 resolved is what he does...I make it closed : Aug 19 16:34:29 :D Aug 19 16:34:41 (gives me something to do :D) Aug 19 16:37:44 lol Aug 19 20:14:06 appstache: you still around? Aug 19 20:14:47 what is your wiki username? Aug 19 20:15:49 You should be promoted. Let me know if it works. Aug 19 20:21:18 hey LarrySteeze Aug 19 20:21:21 what's up man? Aug 19 20:21:57 yo Aug 19 20:23:07 It worked, all good here. Aug 19 20:25:55 Great! Aug 19 20:43:10 https://twitter.com/LarrySteeze/status/237287426001887233 Aug 19 20:44:23 i wish i had design skills :/ Aug 19 21:34:34 the first logo kinda looks like the Turkish flag ^^ Aug 19 21:36:35 pretty much anything w/ a crescent moon can be argued that it looks "kinda" like the Turkish flag Aug 19 21:39:54 probably :P Aug 19 21:39:54 though that shouldn't mean the the logo was bad Aug 19 22:02:30 my entry's up :) Aug 19 22:02:31 http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/LogoContest#Submissions Aug 19 22:09:44 btw, who invented the moon for Luna? was it ka6sox-away? Aug 19 22:10:22 o.o palm Aug 19 22:10:24 I know the moon is the standard icon of webOS apps... but apparently all submissions contain the moon as well Aug 19 22:10:27 it's been around since webOs 1.0 Aug 19 22:10:41 it kinda makes sense given the name Aug 19 22:10:41 it's a moon because it's luna Aug 19 22:10:52 I took the name (and the icon) and ran with it Aug 19 22:11:43 "In ancient Roman religion and myth, Luna is the divine embodiment of the Moon" Aug 19 22:11:43 oops, didn't know that Aug 19 22:11:59 so it was the Romans ^^ Aug 19 22:12:23 well...the romans invented that the moon was luna sure Aug 19 22:12:25 but not the icon Aug 19 22:13:20 I only knew the icon was the default one for apps Aug 19 22:31:31 yay! Aug 19 22:33:53 hi baboo Aug 19 22:34:02 hi Aug 19 22:34:22 http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/LogoContest Aug 19 22:35:22 make your account and come back here. Aug 19 22:38:16 okay, please promote me. my username is baboo Aug 19 22:40:00 okay Baboo...you are now human (I can verify this) Aug 19 22:40:23 :D Aug 19 22:40:33 follow the rest of the directions and upload your entry. Aug 19 22:42:31 so who wants to promote me Aug 19 22:42:37 I will Aug 19 22:42:42 i'm actually a robot. is that ok? Aug 19 22:42:45 username? Aug 19 22:42:50 fxspec06 Aug 19 22:42:59 fxspec06, I highly doubt that.... Aug 19 22:43:05 lol Aug 19 22:44:03 beepboop Aug 19 22:44:29 fxspec06, you are promoted Aug 19 22:44:44 from unknown entity to human Aug 19 22:45:37 they don't let me handle code...so the best I can do is promote people on the wiki.... Aug 19 22:46:27 you'd probably be useful if we had any punch-card related incidents as well Aug 19 22:46:38 ka6sox-away: can you retweet? https://twitter.com/LarrySteeze/status/237287426001887233 Aug 19 22:47:06 true....no Hanging Chads here! Aug 19 22:47:17 awesome. Aug 19 22:47:26 * ShiftyAxel retweets too Aug 19 22:49:02 time for some more minor luna hacking before bed i think... Aug 19 22:49:07 has to be 200px jpeg? Aug 19 22:49:30 * ShiftyAxel uploaded a 128x128png… only so much source material Aug 19 22:49:46 it goes on the TP and on the CE page Aug 19 22:50:00 so 128px for webpage and 64X64 for TP Aug 19 22:50:35 user:Baboo's is TP sized Aug 19 22:52:24 winner. hands down http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/File:Fxspec06.png Aug 19 22:53:44 anyone up for testing a new build of LunaCE? Aug 19 22:53:47 bugfixes ahoy Aug 19 22:54:04 fxspec06, can you shrink that to 64X64? Aug 19 22:55:54 ya, looks decent too Aug 19 22:56:25 can you reupload as 64X64? Aug 19 22:57:39 but then it'd upscale to the thumnail preview? Aug 19 22:58:51 the issue imho is to make it readable @64X64 Aug 19 22:59:21 it doesn't upscale either, baboo's shows up as 64x64 Aug 19 22:59:34 his is 64X64 Aug 19 22:59:52 done Aug 19 23:00:18 ah, it keeps both versions Aug 19 23:00:34 ShiftyAxel, can can you resubmit as 64X64? Aug 19 23:00:40 (or send a scaled one)? Aug 19 23:00:47 ka6sox: sure Aug 19 23:01:11 actually we should submit 2 each.... Aug 19 23:01:21 one larger (128X128 and one 64X64) Aug 19 23:01:31 that's cool. i liek that idea Aug 19 23:01:39 the larger for the wiki and smaller for page.... Aug 19 23:01:47 launcher Aug 19 23:02:45 that sounds good to me, can we make them display side-by-side? Aug 19 23:02:52 ya Aug 19 23:02:57 big/little Aug 19 23:04:14 I was more asking 'how?' :P Aug 19 23:04:21 I don't know markdown-fu Aug 19 23:05:01 just put them on the same line [[file:foobig.png]][[file:foosmall.png]] Aug 19 23:07:37 does not work Aug 19 23:07:49 then put a space inbetween them Aug 19 23:07:51 that should work Aug 19 23:08:53 aha.. Aug 19 23:08:54 I see Aug 19 23:08:59 just let me fix that Aug 19 23:09:02 We'll need to make sure we get in touch with the existing submitters Aug 19 23:09:50 *foom* Aug 19 23:09:56 okay, carry on ka6sox :p Aug 19 23:11:22 I'm thinking about changing my twitter tagline to "I am homebrew." o.o and let people guess whether I mean homebrew computer stuff or homebrew beer Aug 19 23:11:25 both would be right Aug 19 23:13:37 okay gentlemen, LSM testing binary is being pushed up to woce/LunaSysMgr/bin/LunaSysMgr now Aug 19 23:14:09 anyone who wants to help out and expedit this release, feel free :) Aug 19 23:18:51 everytime you upload a binary, the total repository size grows about 4MB... Aug 19 23:19:01 yup Aug 19 23:19:12 i.e. after 10 releases the repository is over 40MB Aug 19 23:19:36 afaik curl, whose repository is older than 10 years, is only about 30MB Aug 19 23:20:14 hmm, this is a bad thing Aug 19 23:20:30 is there any way to get rid of the previous binaries that it seems to be building up? Aug 19 23:20:42 this is because of the way packaging currently works. Aug 19 23:20:43 ShiftyAxel: only by rewriting the history Aug 19 23:21:03 ka6sox-away: well, couldn't you host the binaries somewhere else? e.g. on the github downloads page Aug 19 23:21:09 no Aug 19 23:21:17 that isn't our intention Aug 19 23:21:52 this is an artifact of the way packaging curently works...we can work out a different way to solve this. Aug 19 23:22:34 ...if you necessarily need git for the build system, you could use a seperate repo for the binaries Aug 19 23:23:00 brb, back to "hardcore cooking" Aug 19 23:23:35 pc-world, ideally what would happen is the autobuilder would build LunaCE from scratch with the changes. Aug 19 23:24:08 but the build system to create that binary is not currently implemented in the AB Aug 19 23:24:33 ka6sox-away: I think that's the way other projects are built in the WebOS Internals repo... would there be any bigger obstacles to implement this? Aug 19 23:24:56 this follows the current WIDK strategy... Aug 19 23:25:24 however, unlike the widk apps which haven't had very much action this one has... Aug 19 23:26:11 I will get with the AB folks when they have time and see what we can do about integrating this into the AB strategy. Aug 19 23:26:53 well, in the worst case this could be simply "git clone && cd && make" :D Aug 19 23:29:10 (when cloning, and this is probably even compressed, the repo is already 14.80 MiB) Aug 19 23:32:28 yes, I know. Aug 19 23:32:47 and I will get with the AB folks to see what we can do about building it automagically. Aug 19 23:36:52 fxspec06, baboo, ShiftyAxel just put them on 2 lines Aug 19 23:37:27 ka6sox: done Aug 19 23:40:02 i did that too Aug 19 23:43:09 ka6sox-away: done Aug 19 23:45:54 fission mailed \o/ Aug 19 23:46:55 okay now everyone is on an even footing Aug 19 23:47:01 I've made them all the same. Aug 19 23:48:05 ShiftyAxel, don't be sending me any Sr90 Aug 19 23:48:36 the postman just blew up… it will probably take a while for the fallout to reach you Aug 19 23:48:37 ] Aug 19 23:55:42 * ka6sox-away checks the jetstream forecast for the next 48hrs Aug 19 23:56:05 ShiftyAxel, if its a groundburst I'm okay.... Aug 20 00:00:03 EricBlade, I agree the new Dashboard widgets need to be done...How do we promote that development? Aug 20 00:01:30 mac dashboard widgets? Aug 20 00:01:37 no Aug 20 00:01:45 webOS dashboard widgets Aug 20 00:01:46 :( Aug 20 00:01:50 heh Aug 20 00:01:58 dashboard on webos? Aug 20 00:02:18 yes Aug 20 00:04:18 I had an idea for a 'widget card' for such things a while back Aug 20 00:04:45 it's kinda like tweaks in that it scans a folder and outputs stuff Aug 20 00:04:53 but it outputs enyo widgets instead of settings Aug 20 00:06:25 oh, cool Aug 20 00:07:35 ka6sox-away, you're awfully talkative for being away ;) Aug 20 00:08:14 :D Aug 20 00:08:30 RagingMind, bettah? Aug 20 00:10:45 Yup Aug 20 00:22:58 ka6sox-here: hmm. well, i suppose the first task would be to actually write something. Aug 20 00:23:06 the double sized dashes might be useful there Aug 20 00:23:13 but i think people want them more accessible Aug 20 00:23:47 EricBlade, sounds good...what can we do to help? Aug 20 00:25:17 well, i guess first thing would be to find out if HP has any thoughts on that, since implementing a major feature like that would probably be best with some input Aug 20 00:25:35 and then figure out a best way to make it work, i have zero experience with android on the matter Aug 20 00:25:47 android? Aug 20 00:27:38 functional widget type things Aug 20 00:35:18 ah Aug 20 00:35:36 I wouldn't say contact HP on this one, they seem to be fairly hands-off where CE is concerned Aug 20 00:36:05 a dashboard notification is basically a small div/HTML area, right? Aug 20 00:37:50 if that's the case and it can handle enyo widgets, just expose it's height via appinfo.json and give developers an option to not close the notification on tap Aug 20 00:38:34 though i'm guessing it's probably more complicated than that Aug 20 00:43:28 we also need a way to manage 'startup apps', that way we can have dash widgets that appear on startup Aug 20 00:43:48 alternatively, hijack the notification area and rewrite it into a 'widget area' with it's own APIs and suchlike Aug 20 00:44:23 so LsBus notifications and other API.... Aug 20 00:44:25 nice Aug 20 00:47:36 morning HaDAk Aug 20 00:47:54 Yo. Aug 20 00:48:04 So, are we ready to do widgets now? Aug 20 00:48:15 yes, have you tested them in the latest release? Aug 20 00:48:19 morning all Aug 20 00:48:28 You made them? Aug 20 00:48:46 * rwhitby just packages and releases stuff other people make Aug 20 00:48:46 Like I was trying to do? Aug 20 00:49:11 HaDAk, we are having the discussion about how to do that/ Aug 20 00:49:34 the idea I had (with no way of implementing myself) for widget type things is to have a widget "drawer" in the launcher Aug 20 00:49:51 we shouldn't copy what other are doing... Aug 20 00:49:53 so the widgets are used exclusively inside the launcher? Aug 20 00:49:56 our own unique way Aug 20 00:50:17 dunno, having a widget drawer in the launcher would be unique if they never left it Aug 20 00:50:45 somebody mentioned rss in the notifications... Aug 20 00:50:49 What about that mock up I found online? Aug 20 00:51:00 That seemed awfully webosish Aug 20 00:51:10 HaDAk, can you repost that? Aug 20 00:51:15 * ka6sox-here missed it Aug 20 00:51:25 it seemed cool, but my issue with it was the lack of space Aug 20 00:51:30 Give me a few minutes. My computer isn't on Aug 20 00:51:32 since the cards take up most of the view Aug 20 00:52:08 ShiftyAxel: you can do that already via the existing apis. though the dashboards can't get keyboard input, but widgets can't in android, either Aug 20 00:52:13 I was thinking kinda like the enyo sliding panes vertical style. when the divider is pulled up you see apps, when down you have a "drawer" of widgets Aug 20 00:52:55 and yeah, i didn't mean specifically about CE, though, because this is something that i would assume would be applicable to the future as well Aug 20 00:53:01 but you'd always have your main launcher/dock row Aug 20 00:53:02 EricBlade: keyboard input would be cool if we could wangle it Aug 20 00:53:15 ShiftyAxel: first we need to wangle the keyboard into working right to begin with :) Aug 20 00:53:26 good point :P Aug 20 00:53:42 RagingMind: QL Bar? or launcher launcher? Aug 20 00:53:53 that row at the bottom Aug 20 00:53:59 QL Aug 20 00:54:02 yeah Aug 20 00:54:21 interesting idea Aug 20 00:54:31 where do I find the change log for Luna CE again? Aug 20 00:55:22 RagingMind: so you would pull the QL up to reveal the widget panel? Aug 20 00:55:43 i kinda like that idea Aug 20 00:56:15 kinda... I'm not good at the words to explain things I'm thinking Aug 20 00:56:15 me too, but that would make the launcher paradigm a bit confusing Aug 20 00:56:35 since it already has a button on the QL and is brought up with vertical gestures Aug 20 00:56:49 http://www.webosnation.com/sites/webosnation.com/files/resource_images/j/jose-b.jpg Aug 20 00:56:58 only so much one can do without adding actual on screen controls to do thingsl ol Aug 20 00:57:05 ka6sox-here^^ Aug 20 00:57:35 yeah that idea i think is more what i would lean towards, HaDAk Aug 20 00:58:01 ShiftyAxel, I was thinking more like the row of tabs in the launcher page would have a little grabby thing on the side, and you could slide it down where it'd rest on top of the QL bar Aug 20 00:58:20 ooh i see Aug 20 00:58:24 Also, I was talking multiple apps view http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/903885/PreSpecs_medium.jpg Aug 20 00:58:29 then you could pull it up for your apps, or just tap on the tab name and go right to that page Aug 20 00:58:42 okay lets do eet! Aug 20 00:58:54 that looks very cool. Aug 20 00:58:59 widget deck Aug 20 00:59:04 HaDAk: that's been on the ideas hub for a while with speculation on how to activate and manage it. me and LarrySteeze have been cooking up some neat ideas. Aug 20 00:59:12 I would lean toward widget deck too myself Aug 20 00:59:22 though space is still an issue Aug 20 00:59:24 probably wouldn't work so well on phones though. Aug 20 00:59:31 No drawer. Just a line of them at the top that you can scroll through. Aug 20 00:59:40 right..I like that one Aug 20 00:59:46 Just make cards smaller and push them down if there are widgets Aug 20 00:59:59 I kinda like my card view uncluttered Aug 20 01:00:08 how does this sound Aug 20 01:00:13 Good thing you can turn it on and off Aug 20 01:00:16 on phones that are the the ones we see now I don't see that as an issue. Aug 20 01:00:17 cards are there as normal Aug 20 01:00:24 widgets are initially hidden Aug 20 01:00:34 err...who pinged me? Aug 20 01:00:43 me, sorry Aug 20 01:00:54 swipe down to show the widgets Aug 20 01:01:08 no widgets! Aug 20 01:01:15 some touch-based way of adjusting how much space is given to widgets/cards Aug 20 01:01:19 we have a better method,. Aug 20 01:01:21 Nah. Leave them all there. Have the option to turn them off Aug 20 01:01:46 I <3 Weather Widget on my TP Aug 20 01:01:51 I like my widgets big and with lots of info, how am I meant to scan through a list of RSS articles with THAT? Aug 20 01:02:07 * ShiftyAxel has been spoiled a little by android Aug 20 01:02:15 ShiftyAxel, that sounds like something that should be an app :P Aug 20 01:02:51 widgets are lightweight...apps are meatier. Aug 20 01:02:58 granted, that one works better as a card Aug 20 01:03:14 I prefer the way it is implemented in the mockup. We should work toward that and can make changes later. Give options. Aug 20 01:03:44 we should continue to discuss it until we arrive at a workable compromise Aug 20 01:06:23 on a side note, I love Appstache's LunaCE icon Aug 20 01:06:49 there's also the small issue of how dismissing cards will look with the widgets up the top like that, they'll have to fly over them Aug 20 01:07:15 card view is a sacred area... Aug 20 01:08:09 unless one person is going to implement it, and then show it to us when they are done, we do probably need to have some discussion. Aug 20 01:08:23 I love how simple the task switching metaphor is, and adding things to that view could easily ruin that if it's not done with care Aug 20 01:09:04 agreed Aug 20 01:09:38 though there is definately excess space in card view… I was thinking about adding little pagination dots in the space under the cards at some point Aug 20 01:09:50 that way the UI would remain minimal, but be more functional Aug 20 01:10:08 so you'd know how many card/stacks were to either side? Aug 20 01:10:17 yeah Aug 20 01:10:17 ] Aug 20 01:10:32 I was thinking perhaps represent them as tiny cards Aug 20 01:10:39 that way stacks could be done too Aug 20 01:11:32 the other thought I just had is some sort of mirrored iOS thing, where rather than a slide-up multi-tasking option, you could maybe 2-finger slide up from below the dock, and open a widget drawer Aug 20 01:11:36 I'd love that on my current TP, but with scroll/card wraping that's a little less important Aug 20 01:11:52 imagine dropping that mock-up into a hidden drawer that shifts the bottom dock up Aug 20 01:12:16 (near where the notifcation drawer was in 2.x) Aug 20 01:12:35 summatusmentis: so a line of widgets underneath the QL bar that you could slide up to reveal? Aug 20 01:12:37 I really dislike apple's implementation of a widget/app switch drawer Aug 20 01:13:12 ShiftyAxel: yes Aug 20 01:13:14 me too, though i wouldn't class it as a widget drawer by a long stretch Aug 20 01:13:28 I quite like that idea Aug 20 01:13:29 really? I kinda like it Aug 20 01:13:45 functionally, apple's drawer is rubbish imo Aug 20 01:13:49 awful awful app switching metaphor Aug 20 01:13:51 please lets not copy Apple if we can avoid it... Aug 20 01:14:00 it's not app-switching though Aug 20 01:14:01 * ShiftyAxel nods in agreement Aug 20 01:14:02 it's like "SURPRISE! I'm the thing you need, but you have to be told I'm there or you'd never find me except by accident!" Aug 20 01:14:30 hmm, i did have an interesting idea a while ago that may be relevant here... Aug 20 01:14:46 gestures in 2.x were like that Aug 20 01:14:53 every OS has those things Aug 20 01:14:59 I called it 'decks'- basically you could swipe up/down in the empty space around cards to switch up/down to a totally different set of cards Aug 20 01:15:11 oooh, that's cool Aug 20 01:15:12 but in this case it could be with widgets Aug 20 01:15:41 so in this case… the view could slide up/down, changing from cards to widgets Aug 20 01:15:54 or the cards could shift to the top/bottom and reveal the widgets in the new space Aug 20 01:15:54 yeah, I like that a lot Aug 20 01:16:06 EricBlade, RagingMind: thoughts? Aug 20 01:16:26 ShiftyAxel, I kinda wanted something like that when I first got my pre, but I think it'd be too easy to get lost in a huge grid. though just switching between 2 (widgets and cards) wouldn't be so bad Aug 20 01:17:03 I had those concerns as well, I think keeping it to 2-row would be the way to go Aug 20 01:17:44 ~_~ Aug 20 01:18:08 I have it all worked out Aug 20 01:19:48 LarrySteeze: let me guess, no widgets? :P Aug 20 01:20:15 once this is all done...can someone condense all the ideas into a wikipage for everyone to see? Aug 20 01:20:21 no widgets. But that doesn't mean nothing that you think is a widget. Aug 20 01:20:23 a laser that etches the information onto your eyeballs? Aug 20 01:20:32 ka6sox-here: :-\ Aug 20 01:20:49 and this is how surprises become public knowledge Aug 20 01:21:05 a wiki page Aug 20 01:24:54 what? Aug 20 01:27:56 * EricBlade shrugs Aug 20 01:32:18 all this UI talk has prompted an internal monolog about the evils of the classic computer desktop (internal cause it's a bit OT), but as part of this I'm now thinking about something else webos is lacking. a recent activity/documents area Aug 20 01:33:40 nicer file handling would be good Aug 20 01:34:00 more accessible, not limited to a listview, etc Aug 20 01:34:12 when GNOME announce zeitgeist I was excited because it felt like it could be something that'd help organize and improve the efficiency of my computer usage, but it doesn't seem to be gaining much ground Aug 20 01:35:37 RagingMind: how did you know about my laser? Aug 20 01:36:13 apparently I'm psychic when I shower Aug 20 01:36:21 morning all Aug 20 01:38:02 heh Aug 20 01:38:05 I guess so Aug 20 01:38:34 liking the update, good work! Aug 20 01:41:51 I concur. good work, it is very smooth! Aug 20 01:42:45 was there ever a way on 3.05 to deliberately place a card in a stack? Aug 20 01:43:54 bluen: yeah, hold down on it until it fades, then move it Aug 20 01:43:57 bluen: aside from open->reorder no Aug 20 01:44:14 Ok. What'd I miss? I had to go grocery shopping Aug 20 01:44:24 did you grab me some peanuts HaDAk Aug 20 01:44:53 You betcha buddy Aug 20 01:44:55 EricBlade: thanks, worked Aug 20 01:45:07 HaDAk: http://bit.ly/OPkubR Aug 20 01:45:40 did you grab me some cracker jacks HaDAk? Aug 20 01:46:55 HaDAk, did you get me stroopwafels? Aug 20 01:47:20 icecream Aug 20 01:47:27 and on that note it's sleepytime Aug 20 01:47:33 nn all Aug 20 01:47:34 choc=o-late Aug 20 01:47:47 alright Aug 20 01:47:48 night Aug 20 01:47:52 I have a challenge Aug 20 01:47:59 since all of this came up about widgets Aug 20 01:48:14 anyone around that wants them? Aug 20 01:49:28 Shiftyaxel: love me some stroopwafels Aug 20 01:49:38 ugh. someone tagged me in a photo in facebook and I had 5 devices ding at me Aug 20 01:50:11 LarrySteeze: now you know how i feel every time i receive a google voice message Aug 20 01:50:50 I'm kinda torn on them. I would like the ability to run some apps in the background. Aug 20 01:51:38 EricBlade: I usually make a concious effort to keep these in different rooms Aug 20 01:51:51 but today, I didn't have a choice. I had something to do on all of them Aug 20 01:51:55 ..like music apps. there is no need to keep some of them in a card. Aug 20 01:52:18 I hadn't thought of music apps Aug 20 01:52:42 you know, besides the whole widget idea, you can have them "run in notifications" Aug 20 01:52:49 and hide the card Aug 20 01:53:01 this is theory talk here Aug 20 01:53:25 that's kinda what I would like Aug 20 01:53:37 ok Aug 20 01:53:48 I think that is very doable Aug 20 01:53:50 like a forward and back arrow for music? Aug 20 01:54:07 k4ever: what about a guesture that "hides" the card that's active Aug 20 01:54:08 there was some weather widget i installed but never used it. Aug 20 01:54:14 folks Aug 20 01:54:17 and then another gesture that brings it back if called Aug 20 01:54:46 I like that. Aug 20 01:54:53 woah confused. For some reason, I thoguht bluen and bhuey were the same person Aug 20 01:55:05 k4ever: thanks for the idea. I'll look into it Aug 20 01:55:21 in the alternate universe we are--(evil laugh) Aug 20 01:57:17 alright my turn to hit the sack Aug 20 01:57:19 adios amigos! Aug 20 01:57:37 and again, don't forget the logo contest! Aug 20 01:59:30 LarrySteeze: what about minimize app to notification area? Aug 20 02:00:10 k4ever: problem with that is if it's already got a notification feature, you have two things there for the same app Aug 20 02:00:45 oh... Aug 20 02:01:13 LarrySteeze: yeah not the same people. I'm probaby smarter and sexier :) Aug 20 02:01:33 bhuey and bluen: have you BOTH helped me test releases? Aug 20 02:02:43 so hiding it would be the better option, but you wouldn't hide it from the notification area so we could still control it. Aug 20 02:02:57 correct Aug 20 02:03:07 we would basically position the card off the screen Aug 20 02:03:14 and still give access through gestures Aug 20 02:04:50 I think hiding it completely (even from gestures) and then unhiding it from the notification area would be cleaner. Aug 20 02:05:26 we can play with some ideas Aug 20 02:05:28 I have to sleep Aug 20 02:05:34 have a good night! Aug 20 02:05:40 good night! Aug 20 02:05:54 ' Aug 20 02:06:05 larrysteeze: don't listen to bhuey, likes to play those little games on people. We ARE the same people. Aug 20 02:23:18 * HaDAk grumbles Aug 20 02:43:59 about? Aug 20 02:46:59 phoenix stuff. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 20 02:59:59 2012
