freemangordonGood morn . Anyone want to give me some help (in form of ideas) ? Talking about portrait task manager, with forced rotation disabled apps which do not rotate look ugly in portrait .  See here http://tinypic.com/r/30kzgr9/7 . Need ideas how to layout thumbnails. Anyone?11:44
merlin1991Freemangordon, can't just keep them non rotated?11:46
merlin1991so one can instantly see they are landscape only?11:46
freemangordonYou mean thumbnail to stay exactly as in landscape?11:47
merlin1991Yea11:47
freemangordonI was thinking about that, and maybe in the end this will be the behaviour. In the meantime I hope for someone to come with something I did not think about.11:54
merlin1991I actually like the idea :)11:54
merlin1991shows you quick what's what and keeps the window content without editinng it11:55
freemangordonYeah, but it will be sideways11:57
freemangordonMean not consistent with current orientation11:57
freemangordonWhat do you think about landscaped tumbnail taking place of two portraited ones?12:00
freemangordonbtw, anyone else?12:00
Damnshockhold on, just got back to the irc, have to catch up12:00
Damnshockfreemangordon: you mean having both protrait and landscape thumbnails?12:02
freemangordonyes12:03
Damnshockthe former taking two portrait ones in space?12:03
Damnshockmmmm12:03
Damnshockthat sounds great12:03
Damnshockreally great12:03
freemangordonwith only even number of columns so aligment to be ease12:03
freemangordon*easy12:03
*** m0use has quit IRC12:04
*** m0use has joined #maemo-ssu12:04
Damnshocknow that we are at it... the thumbnails get created everytime we get into the task manager, right?12:04
Damnshockby the way, I could live with a portrait task manager that behaved like the screenshot you posted12:05
freemangordonactually those are to options I had thing about. now waiting other (hopefully exotic :D )  ideas12:05
freemangordonyes, they are created everytime12:05
Damnshockfreemangordon: you could as well post the landscape thumbs below/above the portrait ones12:05
freemangordonit is not that one cannot liw with it, I do not like it12:05
freemangordon*live12:06
freemangordonit absolutely inconsistent12:06
freemangordonyou mean two tumbnails for an app?12:06
Damnshocknope, I mean two separete sections in the task manager12:07
Damnshockone for the portrait apps12:07
Damnshockand one for the landscape ones12:07
freemangordonThis will be too complicated to be implemented.12:08
Damnshockreally? pitty :(12:09
freemangordonyeah, additional, scrolls, grids, logic to keep every thumb position, etc...12:10
freemangordonand will break application sequense (mean sequense in which apps are thumbnailed in landscape)12:12
Damnshockhehe it was just an idea ;)12:12
freemangordonyeah, thanks, that is what I am asking for12:12
freemangordonbtw, to make things more clear - what we see in task manager are not thumbnails, those are real application top windows, resized to frame (prison :D) size. It is not some shot of every app taken when task manager is started12:18
Damnshockfreemangordon: yeah, you are right12:20
Damnshockas we can see things going on in them12:20
MohammadAGof course, that was of the main features of Maemo 5 :P12:20
Damnshocki was a problem of "words"12:20
Damnshockbut I guess we understood each other12:20
freemangordonHi MohammadAG, can you squeeze some bright idea from your younger than mine brain :D?12:22
*** haltdef has left #maemo-ssu12:24
MohammadAGI'd just do as you said :P12:25
MohammadAGhave the landscape thumbnail take as much columns as the user has12:25
MohammadAGif 3 columns are shown, stretch the thumbnail to the size of that12:25
MohammadAGsame for 1/2/3/412:25
freemangordonAcually that is the easyest way, the only problem is that if we have 4 columns, landscaped thumbnail will become so tiny I am not sure it will be readable at all. If I get the idea right of course.12:28
freemangordonDo you mean for lanscaped apps to have thumbnail with heihgt/2 and to fit app there\12:29
Damnshockwhy don't you just make the landscaped previews bigger12:29
Damnshockthat is, like taking the space of two portraited ones12:30
freemangordonThen we have problem with odd number of columns. How to overcome thet?12:31
freemangordonFor example if first two applications are landscaped and we have 3 columns.12:32
freemangordonand... sotty for typos, still not have enough coffee12:32
freemangordonsorry* :D12:32
MohammadAGfreemangordon, if there are 4 columns, then it'd be 4 columns wide12:33
MohammadAGtechnically, it's always the same size on screen12:33
MohammadAGI need MS paint on linux...12:33
freemangordonyeah, it would be great if you could give a sample, I am not sure I understand you fully.12:34
freemangordonsketch?12:37

Damnshockkolourpaint12:47
Damnshock:)12:47
*** Puchaty has quit IRC12:47
Damnshockwell,I do not know the logic of the app12:50
Damnshockfreemangordon: http://i52.tinypic.com/2dkxv6e.jpg12:55
Damnshockthat's what I meant12:55
freemangordonYeah, but this is 4 column mode i guess. Is it?13:00
*** mirr0r has joined #maemo-ssu13:00
freemangordonand landscaped app should be half height to keep aspect ratio13:01
Damnshockwhy do we need to keep aspect ratio?13:02
freemangordonHmm, take a screenshot of task manager in landscape and make it double height with some graphics editor. You will see why.13:04
MohammadAGhttp://i52.tinypic.com/2nk41li.jpg13:05
MohammadAGsomething like that ^13:05
freemangordonahaa, I see. You mean landscaped apps to always take one row, so in sequense 2P->1L->1P we will have two thumbs in portrait with remaining cell empty, next row for landscaped one stretched to three columns and next row for last portraited one?13:10
MohammadAGno need to reorder things13:12
MohammadAGif an app is landscape, make it take one row, else follow portrait rules13:13
DamnshockMohammadAG: that image seems to be like those games that make you see things between figures13:14
DamnshockxD13:14
MohammadAGlol13:14
*** Puchaty has joined #maemo-ssu13:14
*** Puchaty has quit IRC13:16
*** Puchatyy has quit IRC13:18
freemangordonso for three and four column modes worst-case would look like http://i52.tinypic.com/6par84.jpg ?13:18
Damnshockusing a whole row doesn't necessarily mean the thumb should be full row size13:19
Damnshockdoes it?13:19
MohammadAGno13:19
MohammadAG3 column mode would have 3 columns13:20
Damnshockfreemangordon: by your aproach if you have 6 portrait apps and one landscape13:20
Damnshockthe portrait thumb will be *SMALL*13:20
freemangordonthis is what i understood from mohammadag's picture, not my approach13:20
MohammadAGportrait ones should take the largest width possible13:21
MohammadAGlandscape ones would take the same width as all portrait ones combined13:21
*** villev has joined #maemo-ssu13:22
freemangordonso no more constant column count?13:22
freemangordonhmm, maybe this will work, let me think for a while13:22
*** lizardo has joined #maemo-ssu13:40
merlin1991freemangordon: actually whatabout having them all sized like the portrait ones13:44
merlin1991but the landscape originals turned by 90°?13:44
merlin1991that was actually my original idea13:45
merlin1991hm still wrong words13:45
merlin1991all windows same orientations and size13:45
merlin1991but the content of the landscape ones rotated so it fits in13:45
merlin1991that is my idea :P13:45
Damnshockwell, qt mobility for fremantle13:46
Damnshockqt 4.7.313:46
Damnshockoh, sorry, that's not right. Besides, I'm mixing things13:49
merlin1991freemangordon: I mean like this: http://imagebin.org/14699313:51
merlin1991images > words :D13:51
Damnshockwow, that's terrible13:52
DamnshockI'm sorry merlin1991 but I do not like it13:52
Damnshockat all13:52
merlin1991well they should all have the same size, but that's my fail skills :D13:52
merlin1991I personally would like that solution13:53
merlin1991it easily shows me what's in the window, wich ones are portrait and doesn't change layout / get weird depending on the amount of landscape apps13:53
merlin1991also looking at thumbnails you don't read what's there, you check the pic as a whole so if it's rotated 90° it doesn't make a difference imo13:54
DamnshockI rather have http://tinypic.com/r/30kzgr9/713:54
merlin1991I think ultimately that should be configureable13:55
merlin1991since everyone wants it different :D13:55
Damnshockyeah, well, that might be the next step, right?13:55
Damnshock;)13:55
Damnshockbesides, freemangordon is doing the work AFAIK13:55
Damnshocktherefore it will get done whenever he wants/can13:55
merlin1991true :D13:56
merlin1991or when someone picks the source and writes a patch :D13:56
*** mirr0r is now known as fiberspeed13:57
merlin1991what I like about my idea is, that it doesn't change the layout of the taskswitcher, everything is the same size nothing moves around, ... and you still see the full windows13:57
freemangordonyeah, right, but I still see it as inconsistent.13:58
merlin1991I guess that comes down to taste :)13:59
freemangordonOk guys, i have to leave for a while, keep thinking. Hopefully someone will give an idea none of us has tought about14:00
merlin1991make triangles out of all windows and place them randomly into quads!14:00
*** NIN101 has joined #maemo-ssu14:03
Damnshockby the way... where is that code at?14:11
*** mgfm99 has joined #maemo-ssu14:16
merlin1991hm I had a deb @ some point, but no code14:16
*** mgfm99 has left #maemo-ssu14:16
merlin1991MohammadAG should know14:16
DamnshockI know it's in gitorious, just in which project?14:17
DamnshockI might have a look when I get home... someday... I'm just so busy...14:17
*** mece has joined #maemo-ssu14:32
mece\o14:32
Damnshockhi mece14:32
meceI have been frustrated for a long time that icons don't update when installing new stuff14:33
meceso I did a lot of testing and research and came to a method that works.14:33
Damnshockwhich one is it?14:33
mecetouch /usr/share/icon14:34
mecetouch /usr/share/icons14:34
meceI mean14:34
mecewith PR1.0 the soltution was to do gtk-update-icon-cache in postinst or something, but that stopped working when they stopped using gtk-update-icon-cache14:35
Damnshockhaven't installed anything yet14:35
Damnshockhehe14:35
meceso, perhaps we could add touch /usr/share/icons to the now empty gtk-update-icon-cache script file, thus making the old solution work once again.14:36
Damnshockif that works14:38
Damnshockshould be added to every app package14:38
mecehmm14:39
meceahaa14:41
Lava_Croftnice, mece14:48
meceok looking att the app manager sources, there's a force_icons_theme_reload function (that, according to the comments shouldn't be there because it's not app manager's business to refresh icons)14:53
mecethat function apparently does not work, but we could still use the hack, by making it actually work, by adding something like system(" touch /usr/share/icons ");14:55
meceand #include <stdlib.h>14:56
mecethp, ping?14:57
*** the_lord has joined #maemo-ssu15:07
thpmece: pong15:10
mecethp, is hildon-application-manager stuff included in cssu?15:12
mecethp, I remember you did some stuff with the portrait mode on that15:12
Lava_CroftMohammadAG: i reckon you dont me spreading your mediaplayer around a bit?15:20
Lava_Croftdont mind me*15:20
MohammadAGPlease, don't :P15:20
Lava_Croftits among tech-savvy folk15:20
Lava_Croftcoders etc15:20
MohammadAGno worries then, but I don't want the release to backfire15:21
Lava_Croftactually far more skilled than i am15:21
Lava_Croftah yeah, i figured that out15:21
MohammadAGi.e no tmo posts, please :P15:21
Lava_Crofthaha, no way15:21
Lava_Croftthat would be pretty anti-social15:21
Lava_Croftto say the least15:21
thpmece: yep, HAM is in the cssu15:23
Lava_CroftHAM is slower because of some kind of error-checking, right?15:23
Damnshockmmm can't wait to use the portrait manager15:23
Lava_Croftslower than the awesomely named fapman15:23
Damnshockhehehe15:23
Lava_Crofterror/security checks15:23
mecethp, well anyway, https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/hildon-application-manager/blobs/master/src/operations.cc#line698 this function doesn't work as advertised15:24
thpmece: have a patch?15:24
meceforce_icons_theme_reload. But if we'd do a system(" touch /usr/share/icons "); there instead of all that complicated crap it should work.15:24
meceI don't have an environment here to make stuff properly15:25
thpisn't there an easier way to do a touch operation than using system()?15:25
mecethp, no idea, that's the first method I came up with15:25
mecethp, I doubt there's one easier to write than that one line..15:26
Damnshockmece: maybe there's a function call from a library15:26
Damnshockthat'd be easier than calling and external app for the job15:26
Damnshockeasier from the resources point of view15:27
thpalso, wouldnt the operation in question need root privileges?15:27
mecethp, doesn't ham run as root? I mean it installs stuff15:27
mecewhich requires root15:27
mecehmm ok the ui wouldn't run as root I guess.15:28
meceanyway, I don't know what would be a good method of doing it, but giving /usr/share/icons the bad touch makes the icons refresh, which it does not lest you reboot otherwise.15:31
thpthe goal would be to have the icon cache in h-d be refreshed right?15:31
mecethp, aye15:31
mecethp, in early maemo5 times foing gtk-update-icon-cache did just that, but icon cache is not used anymore, but the method I mentioned acomplishes the same thing.15:32
thpmece: what about sending a d-bus signal from ham to hd?15:36
mecethp, please elaborate, you mean a dbus signal that executes the touch command or something more clever?15:38
thpwell the only process that needs to know is hildon desktop and maybe hildon home, right?15:43
mecethp, I don't really follow, need to know what?15:45
thpwhen new icons are available/when the icons need to be reloaded15:51
meceI dunno, is it hildon that takes care of that stuff?15:53
meceuh I need to go. Back later. ta15:53
