Today: *
- Fixed up PR #805 so mouse over on download works properly. Thanks @creviera for the pointer there; see comments on the ticket for why it was missed.
- Created PR #842 (merged) to fix #806 so the UI updates to the correct state if local copies of files are no longer available.
- Investigated #812. See comments therein for outcome. TL;DR while niggly the reported exception doesn't appear to cause any problems. However, see screenie of slow start-up of client with 1000 sources (now issue #846)
- Investigated #828. Also see comments therein for outcome. TL;DR - not sure what's going on here since Qt seems not to do the expected behaviour. I've suggested a work-around.
- Thanks to Nina passing on the fixed up SVG I finished up minor changes on #789 (login screen polish) so that it's rebased and ready for review.
-
Blockers/Asks: *
- More things for my todo list please! Jen, Erik..? Keep 'em coming. :-)
- Else I'll look into #846 (blocked UI in startup of client, mentioned above)
Yesterday:
Today:
- Will join support sync for user research prep
- First pass on UX improvements for updater post-beta, filing UI polish issues
