Gajim - 2023-07-17

lovetox: I guess, I can work with `Gtk.ListBox.signals.row_selected`

For now, I have

``` def _on_msgrow_selected(self, listbox, row) -> None: print('selected row no. ' + str(self._list_box.get_selected_row().get_index()) + ' of ' + str(self._contact.jid.localpart)) ``` ✏

got hold of the variables I need to work with.

hi, how can I send attachments with the gajim flatpak?

clicking on "add files" does nothing

console says: `Can't open portal file chooser: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop`

I went to flatseal and allowed gajim access to the session bus, still it will not work

Google the error

It's nothing Gajim can influence

I did, so is the wlr desktop portal just broken with flatpaks? I only installed gajim as a flatpak because the normal arch package is broken / doesn't work

``` https://conference.gajim.org:5281/pastebin/d7ff94e2-53c8-40ad-89c6-2922935b4e1d

^ this is the error from the normal arch package

hm did you migrate to a new gajim version ?

this error basically says your account is invalid setup

this can be solved by removing the config

.config/gajim

but of course this will lose all your settings

If I make a `dict` in `view.py` to store index of last selected `MessageRow` for each chat, in which file should I implement the shortcut to focus on that index?

the `dict` in `ConversationView` should be accessible from that file in a good way.

I've thought about making the shortcut in `main.py`.

the way I would access ConversationView from `main.py` would be

``` def _focus_last_visited_message(self, _action: Gio.SimpleAction, param: None) -> None: chat_stack = self._chat_page.get_chat_stack() view = chat_stack._chat_control._scrolled_view dict = view.last_visited ``` ✏

Obviously, this does not look okay. ✏

lovetox: alright I'll try this. Yes, I have been switching around from the git version to the normal arch package and back

gajim launched successfully after removing settings.sqlite

I need to have that shortcut available as "win.focus-last-visited-message" in `shortcuts.json`. That is why I implemented the method in `main.py`.

kurion, the idea of actions is

that you register a action for a window or app

then you can connect to that action from anywhere in the code

and register a callback

check for example _connect_actions in chat_stack.py

the actions are registered somewhere else, but the code that needs the info when this action is triggered should connect to it

so i guess you want the conversatonview to know when this action is triggert

so it should connect to that action and register a callback

except you want that the action also switches chat

then of course it needs to be higher in the hirachy

The UX I have in mind is, I switch chats with `Ctrl+Tab` and press `Ctrl+L` and that lands focus on the last selected `MessageRow` for that chat.

I am checking out `_connect_actions` in `chat_stack.py`

hi, are the contacts nicknames in Gajim shared with the server?

The contacts nicknames are shared with the server no matter what the client is.

thank you

would be nice for there to be an option to keep it locally for privacy

aquatarkus, not sure what you mean

what I mean by what? by contact nicknames, or by keeping it locally only?

> would be nice for there to be an option to keep it locally for privacy Well... You can remember every address you want to contact without adding them into your roster.

lovetox, They is too concerned about their privacy.

Gajim can contact someone without adding them into your roster.

I know, I'm not complaining or anything

I just said that it would be neat if Gajim could use an offline contacts list instead, or at least for the nicknames to be kept locally and not uploaded to the server

>Well... You can remember every address you want to contact without adding them into your roster. Some servers and somebody will block strangers that are not in their roster.

aquatarkus, If users want the server to block someone, the server MUST know the address.

I'm not talking about the address, but rather about the nickname

in what scenario ? when you join a groupchat?

because otherwise your nickname is only shared with people you want it to share

let's say I have this one friend, and we want to communicate privately while not leaking much metadata. We use gibberish addresses and communicate over Tor. But for the sake of simplicity, I added their real name as their nickname on my contacts list.

because I expected that to be clientside

it is clientside, why do you think its not?

Mike said above that it's uploaded to the server

is it not? good then

aquatarkus, Gajim is open-source, you can change it to whatever you like.

I know, I'm not complaining...

aquatarkus, ok sorry, yes if you set a nickname in your roster

this is sent to the server, because the roster and all its information are stored there

alright, ty

Tyttö

does anyone have any ideas on how to reproduce the "getting kicked from muc" condition that results in the message from the server "Error: You are not currently connected to this chat"?

my guess is it might have been caused by an out of memory condition on the account server but I don't really understand this situation

couldn't muc server restart cause this?

what is a quick way to select the last ListboxRow of a Listbox?

It looks like single specific method does not exist for this. ✏

There is a get by index method

And maybe combine this with a count method or something like that

But if I remember we already count the rows somewhere

yup, I guess I found it.

`row_count = len(self._list_box.get_children())` in ConversationView

And index may start with 0

Thanks. I found `get_last_message_row` method in ConversationView.

that did the job. ✏

hi, flatpak nightly still not works..?
