Discussion

• ChimeraX
  • PySide2 browser-lack-of-history bug report was fixed after release of 5.12.2
  • Should "open folder" be a menu item under File
    • Only opens DICOM series file right now
    • Potentially can open TIFF series or PDB ensembles
    • May be interpreted as "open folder as a container" rather than "open some data in the folder"
    • Action: change "Open Folder" to "Open DICOM Folder"
  • git flow release
    0. backup the repo
    1. remove "master" branch from repository
    2. remove from clones = git pull
    3. create "master" from "develop/0.8" and push to repository
    4. "git fetch" from clones
  • Toolbar and button bar unification
    • Greg will build a ribbon prototype for toolbars using ​https://github.com/OkGoDoIt/Office-Ribbon-2010
  • Putting RBVI bundles on toolshed
    • Want separate run-time vs build-time dependencies in bundle_info.xml
    • Visit the bundle-release page (from intranet) and release your bundles
    • Need to segregate "standard" bundles from "extra" bundles
  • What happens when restoring a session that uses an uninstalled tool?
    • There is a manifest of bundles referenced by session file
    • Need to detect missing bundles
      • Show warning or offer to install bundle?
      • Restore rest of session or give up or ask user?
      • What about gui vs nogui?
        • Currently, tools are skipped in nogui mode
        • Might get unnecessary warning about missing bundle that won't be used for restoring session in nogui mode
  • Stable APIs
    • See action items
  • Move to github
    • Move to private RBVI github project
      • Easier to share with collaborators with github admin tools
      • "pull requests" should simplify enhancement/fix submission
      • will not happen that soon

Action Items

• Conrad will look at "git flow" for common practice
  • ​https://datasift.github.io/gitflow/IntroducingGitFlow.html
  • Conrad use "git flow" to release 0.8 as a test run
• Conrad will look for existing UI toolkit that implement Office-style ribbons. or some other well known app
