Discussion

• ChimeraX
  • PyQt license needs to be renewed soon
    • Post-5.12.1 fixes browser history bug
    • PySide2 (which requires 5.12) may be an adequate replacement for PyQt
    • How much is PyQt license, and when does ours expire?
  • Toolbar and button bar unification
    • Add comments to toolbar-unification
    • Greg split the label display options and added home tab
    • Greg will implement ribbon in Qt
  • Manager/provider toolshed functionality (#1661)
    • Conrad will work on this
  • 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
