**Collabora Online Weekly Meeting #20** Date: April 29, 2021 Next meeting: May 6, 2021 All minutes published on: [https://forum.collaboraonline.com/t/collabora-online-weekly-meeting-22](https://forum.collaboraonline.com/t/collabora-online-weekly-meeting-22) **Attendees:** - Pedro, Nicolas, Kendy, Thorsten, Michael, Ezinne, Andras, Gokay, Aron, Andreas, Rizal **Community update (Pedro)** - Muhammet unwell still, but stable. - Have been quite busy creating new Easy Hacks - and other issues, perhaps less easy – but good first issues to tackle. - More people contributing – but don’t know the numbers. - Polishing various things – source-code comments, online documentation - docs-wise; transforming the loleaflet API documentation – turned into source comments - doing it option by option; will be good. **JSON Toolbar / Notebookbar changes (Szymon)** - Work going on here – using the new JSON structure from Andreas - avoiding empty git message commits. - Now missing one thing – regarding tabs: Home tab is slightly different JSON structure. - no change in impl. Yet – just building – just did a cleanup of our static json structure in the JS; so we can play with it … - doing the work on master (Andreas) - last PR sounds awesome – tested on Windows (Pedro) - next step: some open issues – we have CSS files with fixed colors (Andreas) - can we switch to some variable color ? - go to loleaflet.css – already leveraging some CSS vars there - sounds great, started doing some of that in the past too (Pedro) - need to come up with something for IE - we drop IE11 in master for co-2021 etc. (Michael) - is there a list of variables to use ? (Andreas) - list is on top of the CSS file loleaflet.css (Pedro) - free to come up with what you think is the best. - Love to see more ‘cool’ use instead of loleaflet (Michael) - some back-compat bits. - Not all content-related notebook bars (contextual tabs) are available (Andreas) - added Szymon to an issue – ask; most context related tabs we don’t need. - for eg. media files, or embedded files / OLE ? But for graphics - would be nice to have the context tab. - Because no-one added it yet (Szymon) - please CC new additions: UNO commands, particularly dialogs to Michael/Kendy - Switch from classic → notebookbar default ? (Andreas) - what is needed there? Do we have everything already? - What is still missing? Some testing – really desperately need to do (Pedro) - when using calc – some comments/buttons that need to work properly - testing: - insert→row break; didn’t have in classic mode - a reason: need to define print regions first - doesn’t make sense to include (Andreas) - need some visuals on the page too. - For Calc – don’t have a “show paginated view” yet. - Will do that auditing (Andreas/Pedro) - thanks for the windows testing from Andreas (Pedro) - can you send staging CSS files ? (Andreas) - way more stuff there; have a look … - branding above is there (Pedro) **CanvasTileLayer bits (Michael)** - Seems the browser is not our friend – big backlogs of events in the web-socket. - producer/consumer mis-match → fixed that. - Rendering of frames not as fast as it could / should be. - Profiling that & doing improvements → 300ms to render a frame: too long. - Tor building end-to-end profiling tooling. **Icon theming (css class names) (Pedro)** - We have to do server side variable/color substitution → which is easy enough. - Needs resourcing. - Added a comment / archive to the forum with an example for future reference. - [Collabora Online Weekly Meeting #15 - #2 by pedro.silva](https://forum.collaboraonline.com/t/collabora-online-weekly-meeting-15/226/2) **Async Saving (Michael)** - Reviewed and merged 1st tranche … doing larger groups of writes here - Ash is preparing patches, and fixing corner-cases around async save - expect a week or so to get it in. **Gitpod(Pedro)** - not possible to run scripts on it; tested - it’s not. - Can we use gitpod while pushing PR’s; tested & re-tested permissions - can’t see how to accept from the org side. - Andras helped out – but … tricky; dropped for now. - PR’s are always from private branches - doesn’t allow more people to commit to that PR - can write notes (Andreas) - eg. a user who can contribute – its fine; but for regular users doesn’t make sense. - Also good not to use-up the 50hrs free gitpod/month … - tested windows client instead; need to install an additional git – the DCO =) - a bit annoying. - Can paste the Signed-off-by \<\> string into the commit (Michael) - Change-Id- worked. - Solved Andreas’ issue – by getting setup on Windows. **CI bits (Andras)** - continuously fixing problems with CI – not a single cause, there is progress. - Michael fixed one for Android - still seeing problems with the debug build – for unknown reason - shutdown & cleanup loolwsd – throws an exception – trying to chase it. - Packaging problems – need to add header files to distribution, so ‘make dist’ should contain these things. - Small stuff to fix along the way. - Switched back to cp-6.4 for master 10 days ago or so, - probably it would work for co-2021 now too; need to try it. - Was not buildable on Android, eg. have tickets for that. **Pull requests (Michael)** - none **Nextcloud & Staging (Andreas)** - default to Notebookbar ? … - did a gap analysis (Szymon) - missing bits from classic were added to notebookbar - probably nothing is missing. - Should we switch to Notebookbar yet ? (Michael) - hold off it a little bit – wait a bit more (Pedro) - lots of changes / improvements entering - wait – a bit more confidence to advocate for that. - Expect this for co-2021 (Michael) - if not sooner. - Would be nice to have it next month (Pedro) - in one or two more weeks. - Will help to improve the notebookbar layout (Andras) - to make it more consistent. **Ongoing work (Kendy)** - Dennis is working on improvements in calc auto-fill - re-enabling it, and improving it to be more usable. - popup with possibilities planned. - Improved rendering of PDFs → so it is possible to scroll the whole document - instead of clicking in the slide-sorter. - Slowly starting on sidebar bits (Szymon) - working on co-2021 branch – first fixing cypress tests - ensure mobile-wizard works correctly. - Fixed – a couple of issues in wizard & notebookbar - Formula-bar – changed in 7.1 … - was surprised to see no rendering of rich text in formula-bar (Michael) - thought this was the point – but apparently not even in PC version - issue with the formatting (Kendy) - not visible in the formula-bar, but preserved when editing there. - but destroyed when writing back from the plain text … - new impl. with JS / input field etc. ? - applying changes? - Could we render it with a local text widget, but not edit there ? (Michael) - worth filing a ticket (Kendy) - Getting 2021 working & onto JSDialog. **Release schedule bits (Andras)** - No releases planned this week - Big patch set merged to cp-6.4 yesterday - CODE 6.4.9 - blocking on async saving / bulk writing work review … - one to two weeks out (?) - New core branch co-2021 polishing for next months - hope to have a snapshot as/when it passes its tests. **Next Meeting** Next meeting will take place on Thursday, April 29, 2021 at 10:00 am (UTC)
