Nextcloud bits (Raul)
- Julius is sick.
- Raul – working on: Edit pdf files with Collabora Online isn't available any more · Issue #1894 · nextcloud/richdocuments · GitHub
- Had a look, knows when this started to happen
- We probably need to introduce URL to communicate with Collabora (that points to the specific file)
- UI rework by juliushaertl · Pull Request #1820 · nextcloud/richdocuments · GitHub
- Can see that the old code is there, but even if we enable that it will not work due to the new viewer
- It only allows 1 to 1 mime-type to app
- Already a PR prepared : Add `openWith` function to OCA.Viewer by Raudius · Pull Request #1273 · nextcloud/viewer · GitHub
- It will allow different apps to open different files via context menu
- Exposing edit option for PDF files with COOL.
- There is this idea of having an additional Edit button right from the modal viewer (office.view)
- If the Collabora viewer is able to handle everything that the normal viewer can handle than maybe we could use the CO as default to edit the PDF (annotate)
Gabriel (1-and-1)
- What do we use to edit (annotate the PDF)?
- Kendy: you are able to add annotations and then they are save as real PDF annotations (you can then open in any PDF viewer and see them)
- Kendy: hopefully we will be able to improve and allow other things like font filling, other types of comments (highlighting, and other things
- Not possible to use composition (shapes) since that is more complicated
- There are no plans in the short term to add these additional capabilities including editing the text etc, but I’m able to pointing you in the right direction
- We use different library to view/edit when compared to Core
- But you need to export a variable to able able to see the same thing:
- export LO_USE_PDFIUM=1 before starting Core
- But you need to export a variable to able able to see the same thing:
- What about the COOL stuff from the other week ;)?
- (Pedro) explains grammar checker
- (Pedro) it is already avaialble in the latest CODE 22 release but the setting is not on by default (coolwsd)
- (Andras) we still need to decide if it will be backported or not
- Marco introduced new cypress tests for impress full screen animations
- (Rashesh) reviewed and merge
Forum (Pedro and Rahsesh)
- We are trying to make more regular announcements in the Forum itself thanks to Marc
- Hopefully people tend to test the new stuff and avoid outdated bug report
- There is some WIP new footer in the Forum
- Rashesh keeps asking more logs
- Regarding "Document loading failed" - NGINX, no Docker · Issue #4966 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub
- It seems it’s something that keeps bites us (already reported in other places)
- But this was a problem on the user side
- Can't change table border in tablet fullscreen layout
- noticed missing ‘Miscellaneous’ section in the sidebar with two more table options – need to find out what is going on; is it possible to access them ? - missing a sidebar-group ?
Can’t change table border in tablet fullscreen layout from sidebar · Issue #4942 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub
- Szymon will look into to see if we have it but in other place or if simply we don’t have the specific widget that allows those controls to come to life
GitHub activity
- We have new contributor (thanks Szymon and its easy hack Replace magic numbers with keycode constants · Issue #4929 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub )
- Thanks to Rimuruweb for replaced magic numbers :D by Rimuruweeb · Pull Request #4961 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub
- Interesting enhancement request from Nicholas
- missing him – would like snap-lines / guides:
- discuss it next time, still on vacation
- Dark Mode
- Rizmut pushed yet another dark mode icon (regarding content form buttons)
Design bits
- Lots of formula-bar ergonomic fixes from Szymon (Szymon)
- Fixed shortcuts (was hurting UX)
- Also fixed selctions (wrong position of carret)
- Needs more test around MacOS (option key )
- Content Controls
- improved the form tab where they are – so they look better, icons fixed.
- Some polishing ongoing here that needs testing.
- (Rashesh)
- There is a bug you cannot insert a picture, working on it
- Improvements around User avatar list and fix for weird overlapping and not closing the popover
- WE also have now additional indicator for the person we are following
- Still the “Following” string needs translation (only on master)
- Context menu unreadable menu entries on mouseover → this got fixed (only on master)
Release Schedule (Andras)
- WE just released the CODE 22.05 ← major milestone
- WE we find bugs or other reports we might do bug fixes and release right after
- And of course we then release the stable CO 22.05
- We stop releasing CODE 21.11
Other ongoing work
- (Ezinne): taking la ook to all the Github issues but they do share a common problem: difficult to reproduce (probably users are not feeding us enough info)
- Tried to help people on how to show (picture or log) but it ends up not being a bug but it is actually how it supposes to be
- But I need some inputs from Kendy: Notes for presentations · Issue #4937 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub
- (Kendy) best way to answer is to say that it is not in our short term plans to add that but we can most def. Add to our list of possible enhancements etc
- (Kendy) maybe worth it to close it after? Or maybe let it open in the case someone wants to work
- (Pedro) Maybe we could create a different label/tag for these type of issues
- (Pranam): Trying to improve the writer comments (specially undo comments)
