smyruHas this been announced that XA2 will be discontinued with 5.1?10:31
Mister_MagisterMy disappointment has reached new low, jolla devs don't even understand why pixel ratio matters12:17
piggz[m]Dont grumble without context12:44
SailMaa[m]Would 100 million phones for every Pixel be a good ratio?13:21
SailMaa[m]* good ratio? (Just trolling ;)13:22
Mister_Magisterpiggz[m]: let me grumble thanks15:34
attahsmyru: Not that i know. What makes you say that?19:04
HengYe[m]in notifications, is there a way to get rid of the loading spinner for the newly-launched app? i have a dbus adapter that catches the signal in saitrix that works fine but there is still a loading spinner on the main page (showing a second "sailtrix" instance with a spinner, even though such instance does not exist)19:08
attahYou must have done something nonstandard with your launching. Did you declare the ExecDBus and X-DBusActivatable in the .desktop file?19:34
attahOr have you handrolled your own dbus activation somehow?19:35
HengYe[m]i wrote it before those were placed in sailfish. i'll take a look at those params19:55
HengYe[m]I do have X-Nemo-Single-Instance19:56
attahHere is what i did to use it https://github.com/attah/harbour-seaprint/commit/29c5bbf62bd08410cb3c8b7d1c3b132a9ce2e79c19:58
attahUnfortunately some other crap sneaked in, and setting exec to full path is wrong19:59
attahI don't believe i needed any single-instance setting before that - it just worked20:03
HengYe[m]yeah i think mine is too far off from that20:04
attahBit i'm also not sure it is really DBusActivatable you are after20:04
HengYe[m]i am doing these lines upon the SailfishApp QQuickView20:05
HengYe[m]        view->raise();20:05
HengYe[m]        view->requestActivate();20:05
HengYe[m]when the dbus signal is received20:05
HengYe[m]so it's quite non-standard20:07
attahI guess it is sort of expected the OS/launcher is confused by it then20:09
HengYe[m]thing is in some cases (sailtrix in daemon mode) i do need to launch it20:09
HengYe[m]but in other cases (not in daemon mode, the app is open) i do not need the spinner20:09
smyruattah: This had been davidrasch answer in the thread you also took part later on. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/beginner-question-on-xperia-xa2/26366/220:15
smyruHe posted reference for this here: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/beginner-question-on-xperia-xa2/26366/720:16
attahIt's not the most outrageous thing i've read, but i don't recall reading it before20:16
smyruI am a happy XA2 user, and I am not going any thicker than that.20:17
smyruwider I mean20:17
attahThe 10-series are narrower (and thinner, meaning less circumference)20:20
smyruStill an airstrip device for me.20:20
smyruDue to their length20:21
attahI say "meh". the XA2 wastes half the height difference on absolutely nothing20:21
attah(screen height difference)20:22
tuplasuhveli[m]I don't think the length is much of a problem, as long as there aren't many UI elements in the top part of the screen. Gladly, many apps don't have them.20:22
attahHengYe[m]: I can't claim to understand all nuances here - but changing to standard dbus activation sounds like it could be for you20:23
attahtuplasuhveli[m]: agreed20:23
attahAnd as long as i don't use anything connected to it, pocket size isn't an issue either20:24
attahAnd i probably wear the most standard jeans there are, Levi's 50220:25
smyrutuplasuhveli[m]: There are gestures though that start at the top of screen.20:46
tuplasuhveli[m]smyru: dat true. I tend to slide my hand upwards when I need them, but it is not ideal.20:54
tuplasuhveli[m]I think it would make some sense to be able to close apps by performing a bottom swipe on either side of the screen. This may have consequences I haven't thought about, though.20:54
tuplasuhveli[m]Opening the top menu (when an app is open) is pretty easy, just perform an edge swipe and swipe down.20:54
tuplasuhveli[m]...and now I realise I'm bringing software discussion to hardware discussion. Sorry about that :D20:54
