Gajim - 2023-07-29

"op" changes only in gajim (not in firefox, gedit, libreoffice, etc.)

Can gspell/hunspell be doing that?

> Hello. Is there some kind of auto-complete in Gajim. I cannot type "op" without Gajim changing it to "original poster". How could I turn this off? (Manjaro Linux, Gajim 1.8.0.) Thanks. are you saying that if you type "op" then hit space it changes it to "original poster"?

I don't think gajim changes anything that I type, only underlines words that it thinks are misspelled

I bet it's the Acronym Expander plugin, Novice8 ✏

oh i never even knew that plugin existed

@fjklp. Thank you. That was it.

👍🏻

one of my contact has sent me a link looking like `aesgcm://http.example.org:5281/upload/(lots_of_numbers_and_letters).jpg#(something_looking_like_a_hash_or_key)`

how can I open it outside of a client?

Right-click > "Save as" or "Open folder"?

maybe https://github.com/roobre/omemo-wget

fjklp: Thanks.

I am reading `rostrer.py` to find out how the hover effect is done.

But cannot find the responsible code block yet

to be specific, I need the status message of the contacts

Grep tooltip

found it. thanks

for personal use, I need to put status and status message of a contact in the ContactRows of the Start/Join chat dialog.

how can I access a contact's status (online, dnd, busy) as literal text and status message from `start_chat.py`

Contact object

[Object object]

qy: this is not javascript :)

I tried to get the status of a contact by the @property `status` like ```contact.status``` inside ContactRow.__init__

but this gives ``` AttributeError: 'BareContact' object has no attribute 'status' ```

I'm pretty sure I am missing something here but cannot detect what it is

the contact parameter says it is of type `ContactT`

ah it doesnt exist yet

thats because a bare contact does not have a status

each resource can set their own status

so you can use contact.get_resources() and then access the status atttribute

hi, how can I protect myself against spoofing in OMEMO conversations?

also is it possible to backup my OMEMO keys so that if I log out and back in, my device will still be verified to someone I usually chat to?

Gajim stores the keys. Logging out doesn't change that

but where? Can I back it up and then restore if I reinstall gajim?

I would like to have a way to prove to my contacts that I am myself

Probably in your user folder, depends on the OS where exactly.

I'm on linux

Flatpack?

no, arch package

there's a .local/share/gajim/omemo_aquatarkus@(server).db

Look inside a hidden .local folder in your home directory

Yeah its probably in there

Looks like a sqlite file

yeah, but this seems like the entire db for encrypted messages?

Possibly, dunno

small feature request: right clicking on the profile avatar on the lower left should bring up a dialog to change presence status (online, busy, away etc). Would also nice to have a keyboard shortcut to change the presence status

I have an issue with gajim-remote

`gajim-remote get_unread_msgs_number` works as intended, so the program *does* work, but some of the features, particularly account-related features, dont.

`gajim-remote get_status aquatarkus@<server>` gives me the following error: https://conference.gajim.org:5281/pastebin/00258949-28a5-4b60-9cff-9f96596d0782

Try only the domain

wym?

You supplied a xmpp address

But the method wants an account name

ah

so that would be just aquatarkus?

I got the same error with just`aquatarkus`

`aquatarkus` is my account label in gajim

The domain

oh

I see

but why does it work like this? What if I had two accounts under the same XMPP domain/provider..?

could I not have both accounts logged into gajim?

It's only visible if you don't set a account label

Yes this is a design error

We should use the account label or xmpp address

I see, thanks

There is a command list_accounts ✏

yes, in hindsight I should have checked this before asking

but I didn't think it was related judging by the error message, I assumed this maybe had to do with dbus or something, because I'm running gajim via `ego`

✏

lovetox: Thanks

aquatarkus: are you refering to `https://github.com/intgr/ego`? ✏

yeah

having a different issue now

`gajim-remote change_status dnd domain.tld` doesn't work, what is the correct syntax?

nvm I figured it out

the field "message" is mandatory, "" works to leave it blank

are there any plans on adding a feature to quickly record and send audio messages to gajim? That's a mainstream feature in modern IMs that some of my friends would certainly love

My friends are saying that, searching pour group chat history is frustratingly difficult. For instance finding our earlier discussions regarding solar panels and batteries that we've had intermittently over the past weeks. Are there any tools to make reading back through chat history more practical and reliable ?

shodan, search for "solar", browse the history by clicking search results?

aquatarkus, not at the moment, but there is already an open issue for this feature

I see, thanks

Worst anti-feature evar 😨
