Hello. UbunCon Sintra 2019 just posted my first talk at the UbuCon (and my first talk ever).

If you want to get started with clickable and you don't know how, you might find this videotutorial interesting or useful.

Have fun, thanks for the fish and sorry for the inner jokes.

PS: You can post your questions in this thread if you need me to clarify something

I have been working in a Morph Browser icon.

Thoughts?

Hints:

• Name

Marius answered to «Why is called Morph»:

Since it "Morphs" into different shapes (convergence) and fits all screens

• Icon
  Based on Origami (Licenced CC-by Creative Mania from the Noun Project)

@ktatar156 Interesting. You may arrive at some break point in time with Google things and focused on moving to Focal (which is a tonne of work). Then it will come the rest.

• Mail: You could use Dekko. It works perfectly with all standard email accounts. Gmail is being worked on (again).
• Contacts: Work is being done and there are workarounds, export and import the agendas.
• GPS works in UT. Android apps are an additional non-UT feature I would say.
• Firefox: it is difficult to port by the way is designed (I believe), I know you said you can't code but you could try finding a group of coder instead. I know is difficult but that's how some other random projects got developed (waydroid is an example)
• Webapps: people insist in making those even if discouraged. You can filter the apps by native if you like.
• Outdated apps: well, that has a more difficult solution. Some things you could try is poking the developers, ask for ownership, create a developing group...

But I would say it is not fair going away, come back and expect someone else did the work you request.

List of Useful Code

I thought it would be useful to do a list of little templates, tools and maybe tricks to common problems we face when developing.

Templates

• About QML Template
• Button to Hide/Show Header
• Download Dialogue with Progress Bar
• Import Hub example. Click on the button to import a file and see in the logs the mimeType, url, etc

Tools

• Download Interceptor (download files that cannot be handled by the download manager
• Blob Saver (be able to download blob url)

Thanks @bhdouglass
Do you want to share yours?

We have finished a first draft for a Human Interface Guidelines wiki

It is basically most of the information we have been using until today.
Merge requests and comments are welcome

So, following @Josele13's idea this could be it:

@Flohack Do you need a rounded corners version for something? If you use the sqared svg UT takes care of the corners

Oh, expect bugs (and hopefully new features soon), but PodCat may be a slight faster on every version.

Random thoughts:

I've been using only UT for the last four years. No turning back for me. I have very good experience with my E5.
I've bought a PinePhone to support the project and to have a possible replacement for my beloved grandpa E5 in a future.

I'm interested to know the use we do of the clock app as it will be useful for a small redesign

a) I open the Clock App when I want to: _____________
b) I normally open the Clock App from: ______________
c) I think Clock App misses: _______________________

Rate the following aspects between 0-4, being
0 I don't know what's that,
1 never, once or for testing,
2 some times,
3 quite often and
4 always:

d) Clock (the time)
e) World Clock (more than 1 city clock)
f) Alarm (wake me up)
g) Chronometer (timer with laps)
h) Timer (count down)

i) I have been using Ubuntu touch as my main device since: _______ (or never if it's not your main drive)

I have started this configuration file for Geany to highlight the element names.

It's not nearly finished but MRs are welcome

I can post again

Sorry for the hiccup

@Keneda said:

was still active before

True. Sorry, I had too many old thread reopened by the user.

@Keneda thank you Kaneda, but this user was reviving threads inactive for months with the same message (that I merged into one thread or deleted if it was only this message).
One thread is enough. Mentions on active threads are ok if it's not only the link to other threads.

I don't want to get you upset

I'm sorry. I should learn again how to listen. Forgive me.

@mihael said:
why are you against click on notification bubbles? - especially since you have them disabled

True and well spotted.
I find bubble notifications annoying (that I left clear) additional the app badges (or whatever called). Let me explain and mix.
I disabled notification bubbles but SMS ones can't be disabled (nor incoming call ones, that's understandable).
I do that because they turn on the screen (unwanted behavior for me) and I read «add tap actions». So for me is «unwanted with SMS and unwanted tap actions on top». I read now that they might be options.

I already answer automatic responses when I get a call (and the phone is on my pocket).

On the desktop, as Unity does, notification bubbles are «click transparent» so you tap through them because you cannot move them.

I find it terrible if you are using an app and tap on the header and SMS bubble shows. Add a url action.

That's my point of view.

@mihael said:
Thank you.

Thank you.

PS: I find a terrible idea those App badget
Notifications should be all in one place: the Notification indicator, not scattered on each app.

@Zer0 please, I would suggest you don't spam on old subjects. One thread for your app is more than enough

@mihael this is the intended behavior.
No click on notification bubbles, please.
I have disabled notification bubbles long time ago, as they turn on the screen and that's annoying.
Notifications should show in the notifications indicator. All of them in one place.

@mihael that's the behavior by design.
Notification bubbles turns the screen on (you can swipe them away).
Notification in the Notifications indicator are clickable, they should open the app or addition options (like the quick answer from SMS app).

The only notification bubble that doesn't follow that rule (and others) is the one from Dialer

@developerbayman said:
simple question really ...do we really need app confinement??

Yes

@developerbayman said:
...but like everyone including myself is making unconfined apps because xyz does not work

Only a few developers are unconfining their apps because they don't want to follow the OS way of doing things. Last time I got a «ContentHub?, No!».

@lduboeuf aaaah, true. I thought Notes was unconfined... (I thought all core apps would be), but it seems not to (apparmor)

It also needs to specify an account-qml-plugin that I think is how the app (Notes in this case) authorize the provider:

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/manifest.json.in?ref_type=heads#L15

the qml file is:

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/src/account-plugin/qml/evernote/Main.qml.in?ref_type=heads

PS: I'm still confused with the different hooks and different apparmors...
