<js> next should be the "Add" dialog. that thing is huge
<clarkbw> i created http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131247 <-- for launcher name
--> naggeldak (~naggeldak@p508DE781.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #ui-review
<clarkbw> i'll make anothe bug for the preferences discussion, all IRC logs are saved in the bugs
<paobac> js: and it doesn't work either ;) (at the moment)
<js> :)
<auspex> Something I don't understand in the main window:  Is the size column showing the compressed size?
<js> btw, are you planning to port to gtkfilechooser?
<paobac> js: already done in cvs
<paobac> auspex: no the real size

<clarkbw> paobac, 
* clarkbw has an itchy trigger finger :-)
<paobac> the problem with the Add dialog is that I have to do 3 things: add selected files, add selected folders or add files with a wildcard
<-- dowem_ has quit (Leaving)
<clarkbw> what are the load/save options especially helpful for?
<paobac> wildcards do not work at the moment, because of gtkfilechoose, maybe I have to add  the option "Include files:" which makes it even bigger :(
<paobac> clarkbw: to load and save the dialog options
<clarkbw> is it for saving the regex for exclude/include?
<clarkbw> there's only a few checkboxes to save otherwise
<clarkbw> i'm getting at 'just remembering my last setting'
<paobac> clarkbw: yes, it saves all the options
<clarkbw> maybe save the include/exclude in a drop down list
<clarkbw> store everything in gconf
<paobac> clarkbw: it saves even the current folder
<seth> paobac: Would there be a possibility of the quick unzip change (i.e. where you double click and the file just unzips) for the current release, or is it hard?
<seth> clarkbw: How far are you from Boston, btw?
<clarkbw> seth, it takes me about 5 hours to get there
<paobac> clarkbw: it can be usefull to update a backup
--- seth is now known as sethLunch
<paobac> sethLunch: no it's not hard
<clarkbw> does it save all the options in gconf or in the options file?
<paobac> in the options file that you specify
<clarkbw> i'd recommend putting it all in gconf and automatically remembering the settings
<paobac> clarkbw: this do not allow to have different backups saved
<paobac> clarkbw: say I want to backup all *.doc and *.xls files in the Documents folders, and all *.c *.h files in the Devel subfolders
<paobac> clarkbw: instead of remembering all the options, I just load them from a saved file
<clarkbw> ok, well i think a list of inclusions can be remembered for future use, enabling this
<clarkbw> however this dialog is more of a poweruser dialog
<js> could it be split up?
<paobac> maybe some options can be removed
<js> into "Add..", "Add folder.." and "Add from file patterns.." perhaps?
<paobac> this do not reduce the number of options in the "Add folder" and "Add from file patterns" cases
<js> no
<clarkbw> if it's about backing up files we might want a different dialog for doing backups
<clarkbw> i.e. Edit -> Add looks like I want to add a file to my archive
<paobac> well, adding files to an archive IS a backup :)
<clarkbw> but the Add dialog has options to the likeness of creating backups 
<clarkbw> point taken :)
<clarkbw> is picture something similar to this under Archive -> Create Backup
<clarkbw> how about an expand button for the advanced options?
<clarkbw> compromise?
<paobac> well, let's try to remove some option first
<clarkbw> call it 'Backup Options' :)
<clarkbw> what do you think needs to be removed?
<paobac> "Exclude backup files" and "Exclude hidden files" 
<clarkbw> always exclude instead?
<-- UliGNE has quit (Ping timeout: 600 seconds)
<paobac> always include, and you can exlude them using the "Exclude files" option
<clarkbw> sounds good to me
<paobac> or always exclude, and you can include them using the "Include files" option, I like this the most
<clarkbw> ok, even better
<clarkbw> paobac, is there a Test item in the Archive menu?
<paobac> clarkbw: yes
<clarkbw> what does that do?
<paobac> it tests archive integrity, this is a feature some archive utilities have (zip, rar)
<clarkbw> can we change that to Test Integrity?
<paobac> ok
<clarkbw> for the opening of files, can we make that more similar to natilus?
<clarkbw> use a default action of open
<clarkbw> and use the Open Files... as Open With...
<paobac> yes
<-- MwC has quit (Client exiting)
<paobac> what about the "Ignore case" option in the Add dialog, I never changed it, perhaps we can consider it always true
<clarkbw> ok
--> Rudd-O (~rudd-o@200.63.198.224) has joined #ui-review
<Rudd-O> this is rather quiet =)
<Rudd-O> how's spatial nautilus going?
<clarkbw> i think we might need a little break :)
<auspex> Always true?  One of the portability problems with zip is that filenames are lost.
<Rudd-O> (the small progress bar just right below the user list in this channel is the lag meter, right?  I'm using XChat)
<auspex> Where's dobey? He know more about this, iirc.
<Rudd-O> (I think it could use a tool tip)
<Rudd-O> lol clarkbw
<clarkbw> :)
<clarkbw> ok, so for the Add dialog anything else?
<clarkbw> Rudd-O, here are the screenies we're working with: http://www.gnome.org/~paobac/screenshots/
<Rudd-O> thanks clark
<-- paolo has quit (Client exiting)
<paobac> clarkbw: no
<clarkbw> cool, so we can move on! :-D
<clarkbw> thanks for all your patience paobac
<Rudd-O> does gnome have an api for defining/retrieving default protocol handlers?  I remember gnome1 had something like that.  It's for usage with gnome apps.
<Rudd-O> the screenies I'm looking at could be changed a bit
