Re: Librsvg 2.40.7 is released

2015-02-17 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos
Hi:

 As for rendering bugs, do you have any favorites?

Yes, animation using JavaScript scripting, tho I can see the hard of
this librvsg doesnt support it as of today, and it would be great to
have.

Re: Killing off UNCONFIRMED in Bugzilla

2015-02-13 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos
Hi:

I would like to keep it for both Contacts (gnome-contacts) and
Calendar (gnome-calendar). I've been trying to follow this bug triage
guidelines [1], and for me it means bugs I haven't even look at. Once
I look at a bug, I move it into NEW, but it serves organizational
purposes.

Re: Search Providers

2015-01-30 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos
Hi:

 You could get the best of both worlds by doing what gnome-documents
 does (ie. use an inactivity-timeout):
 https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-documents/tree/src/application.js#n133

 That way, your process does not linger for ever, but it stays around
 long enough to cache a quick series of searches.

That would present the same problem initially. We would want the app
to return the search results as fast as it can, but since it takes
some times to load the machiney initially, the user would have to type
his query, wait a few seconds for the first results and then, after
that, the querying will get a better, snappier.

And this makes me think on when does gnome-shell span its
gnome-shell-calendar-server. I'm thinking about those applications on
Windows that registers itself to be started at launch. Do we want that
for our users? Or it's better to slow search at times.

Search Providers

2015-01-29 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos
Hi:

I thought initially of mailing this to gnome-shell list, but after a
bit of thought I think it belongs here instead.

I have the case of two applications: Contacts and Calendar and its
search-providers. The case is that those two when launched in order to
perform a search need to connect to eds and perform long time running
operations. Contacts needs to connect to Folks which in turn connects
to EDS services and then make the matching, and Calendar connects to
EDS to create calendar-client and query the calendars for the range
inspected. It is then, when the applications are ready to execute some
search.

My idea was to have them (the app, which provides search at the same
time) running all the time in the background, but that feels like
using the resources of the CPU without the user knowing. True, the
user can do some digging and disable the search-providers if he feel
some lagging or wasting of resources, but I'm not so sure. Good
defaults is what we should do right? That brings me to: what would be
the best course of action here?

A final note about this: both apps would benefit from being running
perpetually; the  launch time would shorten by a lot, because we would
just need to create the windows.

Erick

PS: I have no idea of what the epiphany search providers does, but I
guess something like this would happens if it would provides search
thourgh Google or the search-engine of choice.
PSS: Right now Contacts makes a full launch on every call to its
search-provider. This could improve once Folks gains a matching cache,
but that's not close at leat for now.

Re: A last blocker review for 3.8

2013-03-23 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos

 It's possible that this is due to a performance issue in libfolks. We've
 been picking up performance work lately (starting with adding some
 profiling tests to our test suite), so we'll hopefully be in much better
 shape for 3.10. The main bugs to keep an eye on are bgo#689549 and
 bgo#687671.

 But as far as blockers, this and the other performance bugs won't be
 fixed by Monday, but hopefully within the next month or so.

 -Travis


What I'm worried about is about we can improve performance a bit before
3.8.1 or we might have to left that work pending for the next cycle. And
I'm including myself, since I will need to fully profile Contacts to find
out to slow paths.

Re: GNOME Calendar app and tasks

2013-02-17 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos
I hope. Eventually.

Just curious - is there a plan to integrate tasks in future Calendar app?

Right now I'm a little short of time. But I'll keep working on it.

Introducing Calendar

2012-05-24 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos
Hi:

Some time ago I started coding Calendar application for Gnome as
sketched here[1]

Currently the application does some pretty simple stuff,  like showing
the events of calendars suscribed in Evolution for the actual month.
The rests of the views has to be added/coded yet, but I think the
architecture design is almost completed.

The code is hosted for now at Github[2] cause doesn't have a release yet
as stated here[3], anyway I'll talk with the admins of git.gnome.org

Now, the call for help is for someone on the Design Team to step
forwward to take care of the design parts of the development since I
must confess I'm pretty bad at that, and I have some concerns with the
mockups posted on the wiki.

So, I'll keep up updated.

Re: Sharing widgets between GNOME 3 applications

2012-05-07 Thread Erick Pérez Castellanos
The way I see it, is that we need to provide some widgets to do the
stuff following the guldelines of the new Gnome Design
As Allan says here [1], there's a new kind of toolbar, which have some
stuff in common, and it will be worthy to look into the possibility of
make a specific widget for it, and the sames goes for those new kinds of
iconviews, and for the selection patterns as well.
