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)

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?

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

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

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.

Hello!
Thanks for the hype, notification and questions.
@domubpkm:

• the Linphone app currently diesn't support encryption. It's planned for next releases. Supposedly is possible with the code but all the help is welcomed.
• About privacy, here you have the legal aspects of Linphone service. Notice that when stted «contact list on your phone» and similars, they are talking about iOS and Android Linphone apps.
  Linphone for UT uses the command line Linphone, called linphonec and the daemon linphonecsh and you can see here the modification Brian did to it and the qml code used in the app.
• Here you can check how SIP should work as a protocol.
• And to change the email parameter for a Linphone account, you have to do it (for now) at their website or creating a «new account» in the app and checking the bottom section (witch is actually the same website).

@fla maybe a good alternative to the Telegram groups could be the forum, it's divided in subjects and is available openly, and already set up.

I have updated the qml templates with an element I feel very proud of: Rotate an element dragging it. Yeah!

Let's dance:

Let's redesign the Clock. Send your sketches. Have in mind that it has to be Ubuntu Touch. Keep in the Suru guidelines and remember that is has to rotate (so portrait and landscape) and adapt to small and big screens. Some ideas collected from the survey:

[...] we are giving a prominent space to World Clocks and Clock, which are thins that few people uses (specially clock if it's visible on the indicators)
I'm thinking that:

• Could it be possible to join timers and chronometer in one Section and add a Sections for Alarms? So that could be: Alarms | Clock | ChronoTimer?
• Do we keep Sections as they are but swap World Clocks and Alarms? So they are visible when opening the app? And put the World Clocks in the BottomEdge?
• We make the clock smaller to squeeze the world clocks there? We get rid of the clock And split the Selection between a list of alarms and a list of world clocks?

@homerours Mhm... I thought that was fixed.
Let me check with Hannah otherwise I should have a backup of the rom image...

@fungie Thank you

@fungie said in Lomiri suggestion:

@cibersheep i mean the launch bar on the left side. Like the taskbar on windows.

I know how the task switcher works. I think its just unnecessary since the job can also be done with the taskbar.

I have not used Windows for more than ten years now.
The Launcher is also where you can pull the Dash. It is designed since Unity (as Kugiigi explains) with smaller screens in mind to computer screens.

You pull from the right, you scroll and then you tap. Quite a few stesteps. And it might be necessary to change the grip to do so.

I suggest don't skip the tutorial that appears the first time you install UT and use the OS for some time. You'll get used to it and find your way.

Short swipe from the right will swap two last apps, long swipe from the right will show the spread and you can close the apps with a swipe. No need to tap.
And you are missing that you can alt + tab like Unity. So the «necessity» or «unnecessity» of a feature might be wider in the whole picture of the OS

@fungie said in Lomiri suggestion:

I would like to have the option to have the taskbar on the buttom of the screen and make it always visible.

With task bar do you mean the indicators bar? Lomiri is top left OS. And it's thought to work on mobiles and computers (in the future)

Another nice option would be to disable the old task switcher, add a back gesture instead and decrease the long press duration to close apps from the task bar/or somthing like first click switches to the app, second click closes it.

And old task switcher is the app spread? You can close apps swiping up (you can do more than one at the same time)

@placebo666 You can create an account to weblate and check the current translations here: https://translate.ubports.com/

@kingu I'm sorry, but it is very difficult to understand what you are trying to explain here.

Can you try again with other words?

@slimps I've never tried it. I prefer to use an qml webview as I mentioned before

Let's see if someone else with more experience with html5 only apps can answer

@slimps said in Content exchange: Choose all file types from File Manager?:

[...] Is there a way to make my HTML app accept PDF files from Content Exchange, so that other apps that want to send PDF files to other apps can show my app listed?

Yes and no. You can be the ContentHub destination app of Documents file type, but not of pdf specifically.
Some info: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/guides/contenthub.html

An example: https://gitlab.com/TronFortyTwo/sturmreader/-/blob/master/contenthub.json

(this file is used in the manifest of the app)

I don't know how complete the ContentHub api for html5 apps is. You have information here: https://api-docs.ubports.com/sdk/apps/html5/ContentHub/index.html

The message you get is because you have to specify the kind of files the app is expecting.

I normally use a qtengineviewer so I can have more control: check https://gitlab.com/cibersheep/doc-renderer
It is in alpha state though.

XD XD lovely
