I fear this will be still a problem for someone that starts coding on CO - Gabriel: I can confirm I had this issue locally - Alex is on it - Kendy: if he could create a generic fix to upstream that would be highly appreciated - I manage to solve this by removing the json ### **GitHub Issues** Enable Save As feature that would if necessary ask and convert to the desired format ( example VSD, VSDX,) - [Enable Save As feature for document formats that can be viewed but not edited/saved (VSD, VSDX etc) to ease edit workflow · Issue #3817 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/3817) - Kendy: Mert has implemented a more generically way for doing this! - Kendy: He expanded the map of document formats, initially we had this for CSV and now it’s much better. We just need to add additional mappings, like here: - [xlsb type should be readonly and added option to saveas odf by merttumer · Pull Request #3749 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/3749) Improve f-droid blog post - [remove ambiguity · Issue #3776 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/3776) → to do for Pedro (mkt) Scrollbars (document vs sidebar) - [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/3725) - We need to check if one of those scrollbars is getting default css styles from browser (appearance) ### Design bits (Pedro) - Improvements around classic mode - using the space more efficiently for menus horizontally (still to be merged) - Even with toolbar icons, decrease the size of the icons while keeping the same touch area size - Close button appears sometimes when it shouldn’t . For example when viewing the readonly mode - Mobile - Hunting missing icons - Fixing annoying bugs (drawing areas, alignments etc.) - However it would be better to convert these to icon view - Szymon: yes it’s possible and I think it is worth checking - Szymon: But there are some bugs in the core e.g.: scrolling, so we need to fix them first. - Improvements around About dialog, done - We now have a new shining Welcome dialog - Still some improvements could be done, created issue [#3790](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/3790) - Kendy: For the future when we are going to have the possibility to have that served from outside how will we do it? - Let’s keep all that in the upstream and then later if the outside source is available then it takes that if not it defaults to what is in master - Created more issues regarding UI (icons and components needing improvement) - Andreas already start on that: [PR#3797](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/3797) - Branding - Need to improve how we generate it with the goal of reducing repetition - Saw Andreas’ PR on jumping width of drop-down for font-size (Pedro) merged - Contextual toolbars (Andreas) - I have noticed that we have sometimes a glitch on mobile when switching between → I need check - Mobile calc: selecting a cell and playing with formula bar would trigger the keyboard non-stop → I need to see if I can reproduce this with clear steps - Szymon: we had similar issue with contextual panel, so we are aware of that. But I think it does not happen in every device → we need to look at it ## Schedule & update (Andras) - Plan to release new CODE 21.11 soonish - There are many patches waiting to be reviewed and merged - Probably it will happen at the end of the week - Collabora Online, probably in January - We are getting good feedback from the community wich we will use it for this release - It will be a very stable release - We release security releases - We send emails to partners etc - Nicolas: Do I need to update my repositories - Andras: Yes, there is info on that in the partner portal - Kendy: BTW do to heavy renaming it might not be super straight forward - Nicolas: It would be great to have those notes very up in the release notes - Andras: Actually it’s going to have straight forward. We already updated the documentation and I would like to work on some kind of migration script ## Misc 1&1 bits (Gabriel) - Waiting for the tests to pass but other than that nothing more - Saving issue ([Data are not saved in spreadsheet files when mounting is disabled · Issue #3604 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/3604)) - Any feedback from Ash - Alex working on contributions, didn’t manage to join today. ## a11y work (Gokay) - Lighthouse score is much improved - can now activate a11y for the online side - will add listeners & will send a draft-PR this week - updated PR to make notebookbar items unique (Szymon) - to check it doesn’t break icons – then it will be ready. ## Update on what we’re up to (Szymon) - Fixed clipboard bug (formula bar) ## Other updates (Kendy) - Focus on the things that need polishing and PRs etc ## Next Meeting Thursday, Dec 16, 2021 at 11:00 am (UTC) (12 CEST)
