    • Next up: Update the QR barcode with a new design.

    • Review feedback on PRs and push updates.

    • Managed to setup new machine with Ubuntu 22.04 and also build and run Collabora online.

    • https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/10726 → needs changes

  • Attila

  • UI logging: fixed some problems, added documentID, and rewrote reporting script to reorder log file if needed. Tried to reproduce this problem, but … it seems sometimes when multiple documents are written at once, they got mixed in the log file.

    It is merged, and we will check how it will work in this meeting. :slight_smile:

  • Extract and transform API → insert slide into presentations → still needs some work and then will create PR
    Tested the interactive mode, it worked with content control text changee. I will test it with slide insertion, it will probably not work with everyting now, as I don’t cared about the display, undo, or some other update thing that is not needed if we just save it to a file.

  • Andras

    • TileWorker optimization was not included in install set, not it is – we can test during this call (which means everything should work as normal, but document update during scrolling should look faster that before)

  • Szymon

  • Improving TreeView widget

    • already have foundations merged to core in RED

    • added dynamic height in the sidebar so we don’t show full tree, but scrollbar

    • fixed size of icons to not cover labels if are wider than usual

    • context menu fixes for position (but become broken after conflict with orhter PR probably)

  • Slideshow in-window now doesn’t open new popup but is inside main window, so we have only Presenter console in separate window

  • Darshan

  • Aron

    • nothing to add

  • Caolan

  • still working on some autotext and configuration features

  • ported a subset of the “spotlight” feature to online

  • Auto committed Watchdog profiles

  • Vivek

    • Created iFrame for user-setting /Admin-setting

      • Need Szymon input on how to generate the WOPI token

      • Szymon → I will look after the call. I think it would be nice to talk with Julius. But I need to check the code first.

  • Currently Working to make Auth with NextCloud

    • Problem : Wopi auth token generated based on FileId/Path

      • Solution suggest by Szymon: Maybe we can create fake Path for UserId and create auth token, We need to change bit code of how we generate token for this case. [Working on it]

  • Bayram

  • (In Progress) - Cursor Requires Double-Click to Activate After Moving a Column with Formulas

    • working on the hide() function of contextmenu → select cell immediately after dismissing the autofill contextmenu

    • This behavior not only happens for autofill popup but also happens for some popups/menus on the document: (e.g.: font color popup, context menu, spellchecking menu etc…)

    • First click closes the popup/menu. Second one focuses on the cell.

    • I’ll try to implement new behavior only for autofill popup and will try not to touch/break other popups.

  • (Closed) - Enhancement - Show “Delete contents” info when using auto-fill for deleting cells (GH#9913) : https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/9913

  • Skyler

  • iOS copy/paste formulas

  • iOS shape movement

  • Now looking at more clipboard bits (Android copy/paste issues on large things, iOS formulas without all references, etc.)

  • On holiday from tomorrow afternoon – happy holidays everyone and I’ll see you in the new year!

  • Pranam

    • Imroving interoperability to import formulas from MSO

    • Fixing some async dialogues freezing new users joining

  • Gökay
