Discussion

• ChimeraX
  • Renew PyQt license
    • Department credit card cannot be used for software anymore
  • IHM
    • IHM format changed a lot
    • Ben wrote IHM parsing library (ihm, post-SWIG source format) on PyPI and fixed ChimeraX IHM reader to use the library
  • Modeller
    • Deployed comparative modeling tool (not loop-filling tool)
    • Generates homo- and hetero-multimers
    • Both command line and GUI
  • Tabbed toolbar
    • Qt version deployed
    • Make tabbed toolbar default and not show old toolbars
    • Deploy new icons after review on Monday
    • Fix spacing issues
    • Stretch goals for 0.9 in priority order
      • Switching to manager-provider paradigm, which would work better if mouse modes also use manager-provider
        • When new tool adds mouse mode, it should show up in toolbar
      • Will add "radio-button" style for mouse modes
      • Instead of single button, can also have group of buttons in a dropdown
  • Manager/provider toolshed functionality (#1661)
    • Parts of preset functionality uses this
    • Need HTTP scheme manager for PyQt 5.12
      • Conrad implemented the manager and initial providers
      • Whoever does the PyQt 5.12 migration will use the data
  • Discuss 0.9/1.0 feature set
    • See Roadmap
  • 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
