Julius

  • Sidebar concerns:
    • lots of negative feedback here still.
    • Darshan fixed this for three cases – but we have 2x cases more where the Nextcloud sidebar shows up by default; particularly for internal shared link.
    • There is an explicit open-sidebar call after we close; it gets closed, and re-opened for internal links – hunting this down (Darshan)
      • gave a stack-trace to Julius, and trying to work out why it doesn’t close. [done]
    • Preferred – generally disable it – design team decided against it.
      • In all places where the viewer opens; we have the sharing sidebar showing up.
      • Need a way in richdocuments to prevent that.
      • Other apps installed that could influence timing of calls.
        • Pedro will get a list of apps installed to help reproduce it locally. [done]
    • Found the lingering problem: fix: Avoid triggering a defered sidebar open if openFile is already handling that #41636 : [stable27] fix: Avoid triggering a defered sidebar open if openFile is already handling that by juliushaertl · Pull Request #41636 · nextcloud/server · GitHub
      • It’s against Nextcloud 27, richdocuments 8.2.3
      • Not merged yet, but already approved
  • Open in new tab by default (?)
    • UX testing feedback tells us that files in new tabs is a serious issue
    • AI: share feedback with Julius (Pedro)
    • Google opens in a new tab by default (Nicolas)
    • A website that is an application: a “file explorer” (Pedro)
      • user expects, the file opens – something new happens.
    • May be needed inside the Nextcloud server – not in richdocuments (Julius)
  • Probably follow up release with still pending fixes next week
  • WASM
  • Calc Performance: cells with lengthily text
    • Improvement was merged
  • First beta of richdocuments for upcoming Nextcloud 28 was released, nothing fancy just compatibility changes to adapt to upstream refactoring of our files app

Nicolas

  • Checked the LanguageTool integration (in desktop) and filled some remaining issues
  • Has some impact on spell/grammar checker in online too
    • reported the findings; lets see what happens.
    • Will poke Miklos (Michael)
