Discussion

• ChimeraX
  • PyQt update
    • PyQt 5.12 and Qt 5.12.1 were released
      • Two wheels are built now (WebEngine is separate)
      • Custom schemes for web browser must be registered before any web engine instance is created
      • The initial size for help viewer is tiny
      • Wheels are available from plato but not currently used in daily build
      • Needs more investigation on what changes are required between 5.9 and 5.12 (at low priority until Vulkan implementation is higher priority)
  • Toolbar and button bar unification
    • Greg will build a ribbon prototype for toolbars using ​https://github.com/OkGoDoIt/Office-Ribbon-2010
    • Prototype is almost ready
  • 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
