Schedule: Thursday 11th Feb 2021 at 08:00am UTC (Check here for your local time)

Topic proposals for the meeting:

  • add your name/nick using the template below to suggest a topic.
  • indicate how much time you will need for the topic 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 then name a substitute who can in your place.

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 topics needs!

Please try and have your topics ready at least 3 days before the meeting. This will help us have answers ready beforehand to save time. Topics announced afterwards will be postponed to the next meeting.

[4.0.1.x] UI element changes
#2
  • Name / IRC nick: Mister_Magister
  • topic: Url aware .desktop file opening
  • some details about the topic: So I made merge request to libcontentaction that allows devs to specify url domain so that if user clicks link with domain that matches specified it will open said app. It’s done extremely easy and extremely robust all i did was to in case of x-scheme-handler/https mimetype extract domain from url and convert it into x-url-handler/<domain> mimetype. Then apps can just add x-url-handler/youtube.com or x-url-handler/* in order to handle specific domains. That’s it, all mimetype handling and everything is left as it was. I and other devs would love to see it in upstream. It doesn’t break anything because if it doesn’t find any x-url-handler that would match it just falls back to standard mode.
  • approx time needed: 15m
  • optional:
Sailfish Community News, 12th February, Koli
#3

  • Name / IRC nick: KeeperoftheKeys

  • topic: SFOS 4.0 UI element changes

  • some details about the topic: In SFOS 4.0.1.45 several QML UI elements have stopped working, so far for gPodder I found IconContextMenu and IconMenuItem to have stopped working.
    – Are these items being removed or will this be fixed before GA?
    – Where can we find a list of changes to QML UI elements?
    – What is the recommended new UI item to use that will allow the application to render properly both in SFOS 4.x and in old SFOS (the work around I have found for IconContextMenu does not render properly on SFOS 3.x)?

  • approx time needed: 10 minutes

  • optional: I think the question is clear enough to be discussed whether I make it or not.

Thanks for discussing my issue @sledges on reading the logs I feel a bit stupid that I forgot these were “my” components (I usually grep through my code and forget to look at file names) either way if new components were added to Silica that cause this name breakage shouldn’t Silica get a version bump?
