Meeting on irc.gnome.org:#gtk-devel Meeting started June 1 2004 17:05 EST (21:05 UTC) In attendance: Jonathan Blandford (jrb), Matthias Clasen (mclasen), Federico Mena Quintero (federico), Soeren Sandmann (ssp), Manish Singh (yosh) The one question I want to discuss today is whether there are any bugs which should be fixed for 2.4.2, which I'll try to produce later this week federico: are you doing filechooser fixes currently ? hp wants to have the resize counter in 2.4.x ssp: I wanted to bring that up as well. Is the patch ready to commit ? And is the metacity side of it already committed ? mclasen: I have been using it for several weeks without problems mclasen: hp approved the metacity patch mclasen: he doesn't want it in stabel metacity unless it goes into stable gtk+ as well (for obvious reasons) and metacity hasn't branched yet I think it should go in I think I agree. Did owen look at your patch at all ? I don't think so Also, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141169 is a pretty big improvement of menu interaction Looks like a pretty safe patch. Since you are the one most familiar with the menu code, I guess you should just commit it if you think it is good. right, I'll do that I wonder what to do about the arrow-in-button changes. I belive the current code is correct according to widget-geometry.txt, but people seemed to be unhappy about the changing arrow sizes... believe, even mclasen: yeah, I am federico: any particular bugs you want to have fixed for 2.4.2 ? The only change I have noticed with the current code is that the sort indicator in tree views is bigger, which is actually an improvement ssp: thats probably because I increased the default arrow size sorry I'm late you can stand in the corner... jrb: I was just asking for bugs people want to fix before we do 2.4.2. I guess you don't have any... mclasen: #138807 (I'm on it right now), #139290 (I don't know if we'll have time for it), #141661, #142308 (need to reproduce) #143457 mclasen: I think it is likely that Owen will disagree with details in the sync counter patch (he always does), but not with the general idea jrb: do you know when owen is expected back ? mclasen: or the general way the patch works caillon is coming back Thurday, thouhg we all thought that was late ok, so I target Friday for rolling 2.4.2, Owen will still have a chance to comment on the update counter patch... mclasen: so assumudely tomorrow or Thurs anything else we should discuss today ? I have found one little bug that should be fixed (trivial): in the gtk-2-4 branch in gtk/gtkselection.c, _gtk_selection_request(), there is some debug message using g_message that is left in and it calls X11 functions which break the build on win32. Hans fixed it in HEAD but not in gtk-2-4 I meant to submit a bug report but then I completely forgot about it until now I can look at that. thanks One thing I would like to ask about is inline autocompletion, as in the GtkFileChooserEntry. I have made a patch which adds that optionally to GtkEntryCompletion. (#135953) Do you think that is generally useful ? mclasen: wow, that would be nice Wasn't various usability people against it? I wonder if it would be possible to redo the filechooser autocompletion on top of my patch. The filechooser does all kinds of extra stuff... ssp: but it is kind-of expected behaviour of a browser location entry, isn't it ? mclasen: well, you have to explicitly enable it in IE mclasen: I'm not 100% sure it'll be possible. I guess we won't know until we try, but... mclasen: Microsoft changed it between 4 and 5 as the result of user testing ssp: why do we have it in the file chooser then ? compromise for tab completion ? mclasen: maybe because most people aren't expected to acutally use Ctrl-L mclasen: The problem as I understand it is that you can type in an exact string and press return, and getting soemthing different because the completion appended something to the end of what you typed ok. mclasen: That is not a problem with the file selector, where it will only accept if what you typed in is a unique prefix, and it *knows* there can't be any other possibilities ah. well, my patch makes inline completion optional, so apps can use it if it is appropriate, and not if it isn't. Anyway, I have to leave soon, so if nobody has any other pressing issues, I'd like to declare todays meeting closed. Remember that we will be back on Monday next week. ok so, 2.4.2 is for friday? mclasen: are you going to ask owen about the synbc counter? federico: thats my current plan ssp: yes ok, I'm gone now. I'll put the logs up on gtk.org tomorrow Meeting ended June 1 17:52 EST (22:52 UTC)
