Community meeting on 4th July 2024

From today’s meeting:

07:34:01 If 4th July looks reasonably let’s try… we’ll update if it looks that it’s more feasible to push it forward.

Said that due to soon starting vacation period.

Schedule: Thursday 2024-07-04T07:00:00Z   :world_map:   :date:

Topic proposals for the meeting:

  • Add your name/nick using the template below to suggest a topic.
  • Indicate how much time you’ll need so we can time-box the meeting accordingly.
  • Please be as thorough as you can with your question/topic.
  • If you can’t make the meeting please ask and name a substitute.

It is expected that you show up and present your topic, or name a substitute and make sure they attend in your absence. These IRC meetings are for real time participation and live discussions, otherwise you can post the topic on here and get responses that way.

We need you to be present to clarify details in the topic, and to ensure the discussion is leading to the answers you are looking for! If you do not participate or your question/topic isn’t clear enough it will be postponed. Also: always ask for more time than you anticipate your topic needs!

Please have your topics ready at least 3 days before the meeting so we can prepare good answers. Topics announced afterwards will be postponed to the next meeting.

  • Topic: DBusInterface (Nemo.Dbus) docs and properties
  • Some details about the topic:

DBusInterface is not very easy to work with in it’s current state. According to the source code, it exposes some very useful properties like a status field, but I haven’t been able to use it yet. Any chance this gets documented? getProperty is also undocumented, but is rather useful. Additionally, exposing DBus properties as QML properties would be even more awesome!

Currently, I’m using DBusInterface by updating some QML properties when a signal comes in, and that sounds far from ideal.

  • Approx. time needed: 5 min
  • Substitute (optional): @direc85 (pretty please?)
