Outreachy project progress
Hi Folks, The update for the project is that the relative patch of this project has been +1 verified and covered all the tasks that were mentioned by Jim before. Hekio has reviewed the UX and given his comments upon it. I will be working to address all of them and may be connect with him for some follow up questions I am looking to launch this project soon Thank you, Khushi
Outreachy project progress.
Hi Folks, I am at the end stage of my project "Sidebar Deck for QuickFind". Past three months have been pretty much very knowledgeable for me. From starting with a UI on glade to ending it up with the actual functionality of searching the keyword in the find bar and making it appear on the quick find bar panel. My learning graph has made a good inclination with respect to my career. Few weeks back I was left with some tasks and I guess almost all of them are covered now. First, there should be no entry to the search list if nothing is found. completed the highlighting part of the searched item to stand out the keyword along with this some more minor prettifying changes also has been added like, 1. edit view scrolls when a search find entry is selected, 2. Grab focus to find keywords in the document. Crash issue is covered. Bringing the find to attention is the one I am currently working on and about to close in a day or two. Next, I will be working on improving my Patch to get it merge and taking approval from my mentors Working with LO during these months has always been pretty exciting to me. The amount of learnings I got from here will have a great significance in my career Thanks, Khushi
[outreachy] Project progress (week 6)
Hi Folks, Here comes the 6 weeks report of my project progress. I feel proud to mention that I am all going according to my project timeline. My mentors Jim and Heiko are ones who are always available to resolve any issue and make working in the LO environment much more fun. Learning new things and encountering such a big codebase is itself a task whenever I initiate any new milestone per week in the project. I started this project by making a UI layout of a quick find panel on glade (using a virtual box for that). Next I integrated the ui with the code to make the Find Deck icon appear on the sidebar panel. Following up with that, I spent some more time on glade in figuring out how to expand the treeview component. This is all about making a structure. Consequently, I first made the search bar track the keywords on entering the search field. I connected the entry control to the source and to add an activate handler for it. Made functions named as FillSearchFindsList(). Sequencing, I built a functionality similar to "Find all" in the quick search bar. On entering the keyword it highlights corresponding words in the document. Currently, I am half way on accomplishing the task of fetching a string of words from the right hand side and left hand side of the selected word. Once make build stops giving the errors I think I will be good to go. As Jim said in LO we make change, test it out, think, think, make change, test until we get a successful outcome.
