[07:36]micheleC: @denk: what platform do you build TDE on usually?
[07:36]micheleC: do you use SCO mkspec files by any chance?

[08:57]denk: micheleC: at this moment I use freebsd
[08:58]denk: soon I want to change it to illumos again
[08:58]denk: when we will be ready to port userland apps
[08:58]denk: btw, I'm preparing zfs support anyway
[08:59]denk: I'we written 100k of the code
[08:59]denk: *I've
[09:01]micheleC: ok thanks for the feedback
[09:06]denk: once more, perhaps we lost dilos name due to to conflict with the big boss
[09:06]denk: that is why I did not commit anything for illumos parts
[09:08]micheleC: ok
[09:08]micheleC: so you mean dilos support will not see any more work on it?
[09:09]denk: dilos is distro based on illumos, I want to continue to work on illumos parts
[09:09]denk: therefore it could be supported
[09:10]micheleC: ok, I couldn't understand what you meant by "we lost dilos name due to to conflict", that is why I asked
[09:10]denk: probably we will rebrand it with another name
[09:11]micheleC: (y)
[09:12]micheleC: now I get it
[09:13]denk: some time ago I worked in Argo (a company where dilos founder worked), we did very big storages based on zfs
[09:14]denk: then I changed the primary work due to... (it does not matter) but I continued to work on the platform
[09:14]denk: I ported tde to it
[09:15]micheleC: and this became Illumos?
[09:15]micheleC: or is it a different platform?
[09:15]denk: illumos
[09:15]denk: because it has native zfs support
[09:16]micheleC: (y)
[09:17]denk: in some time the owner of Argo and the platform founder had a money conflict (as I understood)
[09:17]denk: yes, money again...
[09:18]micheleC: so you will need to change the name of the platform in future...
[09:18]denk: what we're trying to do
[09:20]micheleC: (y)
[09:29]denk: https://apt.tambov.ru/zfs.png - like this
[09:29]denk: a new dataset in an existing dataset with zfs properties
[09:30]denk: the work is in the progress
[09:31]micheleC: (y)
[09:39]denk: micheleC: btw, you said it could be realized via user scripts
[09:40]denk: I know dilog and kdialog, but how to create a complex form with the tools?
[09:40]denk: for the zfs properties
[09:52]micheleC: what did I say could be done via script? could you refresh me my mind?
[09:53]denk: I did not ask you what you mean that time
[09:53]denk: what I'm doing: right click in the file browser -> create new -> folder
[09:54]micheleC: ok
[09:54]micheleC: and?
[09:54]denk: then a function detects where I want to create an object
[09:54]denk: if it is a zfs mountpoint it switches to create a dataset (with many properties)
[09:54]denk: or just create a folder (how it worked)
[09:55]denk: you said it could be done with a user script
[09:55]denk: my question is how? what could be used to do it?
[09:56]micheleC: I don't recall the details, but perhaps I was suggesting to use a script to differentiate between a normal folder and a dataset?
[09:56]denk: maybe, I don't know what you mean
[09:57]micheleC: keep in mind I am *no* zfs expert, so there is no way I can tell you how do to things like that on zfs. You would know way more than I do
[09:57]denk: I asked you about a tool to create a complex form
[09:57]micheleC: so perhaps it was a general conversation and I was putting ideas to explore on the table
[09:57]denk: and not about zfs :)
[09:58]denk: at this moment it is completely in C++
[09:58]micheleC: ah. is the conversation on this chat? if you remember approx the timing, I can go back and re read the conversation. That perhaps will refresh my mind
[09:58]micheleC: I know there is a small program that allows to create forms from scripts
[09:58]denk: "tell me the name, sister!" :)
[09:59]micheleC: it was a KDE little applincation that I discovered some time ago when I was looking at some nice programs to add to TDE
[09:59]micheleC: now that I think of it, I think it was around the time I added Kommando
[09:59]denk: I will read about it, thanks
[10:00]micheleC: I think I found the conversation, it was around Dec 10 last year
[10:00]micheleC: "I think it would have to be a custom script and then add a custom command to it. Many users would not have a zfs in first place"
[10:00]denk: yeah, it was near that date
[10:00]micheleC: this was my comment.
[10:01]denk: the users without zfs will not be affected at all
[10:01]micheleC: from what I read, you were asking whether we could add a feature to the "create folder" to create a dataset instead of a folder.
[10:01]denk: with or without the code
[10:02]micheleC: my comment was saying that since most users won't use zfs, it would be better to have a script to perform that, perhaps invoked from the "tools" menu
[10:02]micheleC: I didn't mean "it can be done by script"
[10:03]micheleC: I meant "it *should* be done by script"
[10:03]micheleC: but if you prepare a PR to have the behavior pop up only when on zfs, then we can review and consider for inclusion.
[10:04]denk: that is why I did not add a new item for a dataset
[10:04]micheleC: ok. I think there was a bit of reciprocal misunderstanding :-)
[10:04]denk: yes, thank you for your time
[10:19]micheleC: no prob
