Gajim - 2023-08-23

is anyone else experiencing malfunctions with unread notifications from gnome-shell-extension-appindicator ?

or whatever your indicator is?

mine sometimes gets stuck in the unread notification state and other times does not indicate unread messages

astanad: you would need to install it through msys. But why would you need to install it in the first place? Gajim comes with nbxmpp bundled

Is there a way to make gajim put attachments in contact/MUC-specific folders? It would be pretty nice to allow browsing attachments with a specific contact with external tools.

it doesn't look like there's a convenient way but it can probably be done with a script ✏

looking at logs.db, this is where messages are stored and the only place I'm seeing referencing the filename

Thanks! Don't you think having attachments in chat-specific subfolders would be a sane default? Browsing the attachments for a given conversation is very useful IMHO.

Yes it's on the long list of things to do

how does gajim know what files it has downloaded and the file name? ✏

I see the download urls in logs.db but no reference to the actual filename

How do I decrypt messages from before I logged in? My other session has the OMEMO keys and works fine from there.

The same as signal it has perfect forward secrecy, and that means it isn't possible

It is per client

There's no workaround, such as moving the keys manually?

No, by design

If you want that you need to switch to Ox

(OpenPGP)

But I am not sure if Gajim supports that

And it is much weaker e2ee

There's a plugin for it

Not even key moving would work. That's the whole point of forward secrecy. You would need to transfer the unencrypted database

what does this TODO in cache.py point to? `# TODO: Expire entries`

> Not even key moving would work. That's the whole point of forward secrecy. > You would need to transfer the unencrypted database How do I do this? My other client is Conversations

> what does this TODO in cache.py point to? > `# TODO: Expire entries` Sounds like it's possibly a planned feature of disappearing messages?

I don't know of a tool that can do it. Someone would need to develop that. As far as I know there may be ideas to have a unified way to share these things, but it doesn't exist yet.

fjklp, we build a hash over the url, and thats the filename

My virus scanner tells me that Gajim-1.8.1-64bit has Malware, Win64.Trojan.Generic and it refuses to install it on Win10, 64bit.

Hiker, where did you download it from?

check the URL _precisely_

Gajim.org

are you sure? please make sure

https://gajim.org/downloads/1.8/Gajim-1.8.1-64bit.exe

upload it to virustotal and check

looks like a false alarm to me

1 security vendor flagged this URL as malicious

Xcitium Verdict Cloud Malware

yes. and all the others didn't

89 others

My virus scanner, too.

Hiker, it's a false positive

How do you know?

I'm out, sorry. Virus scanners have many false positives and I'm not the one to prove to you why _your_ virus scanner is most likely wrong

Please ask your vendor ✏

>Win64.Trojan.Generic the trojan horse is the number of babes that will start messaging you when they find out you use xmpp

might be a problem if youre unprepared

Hiker, the source is open for gajim, youre free to build it yourself if you dont trust the exe installer

thats all i can give you other than telling your virus scanner to ignore it

there's a piece of data in the exe that looks *heuristically* that it might be a trojan horse, thats all your scanner is complaining about

antivirus is fairly stupid

ive been more worried about outdated software and targeted attacks than viruses

Use Linux 🐧

😒

sorry Veronica linux gets detected as a virus

Gajim 1.8.1 has been released some days ago, and now we have a release post as well :) https://gajim.org/post/2023-08-08-gajim-1.8.1-released/

That does not sound timely.

We had some issues publishing that post, but now it's here 🎉

thanks!

> fjklp, we build a hash over the url, and thats the filename full url? sha1? single round?

is this important which sha algo?

I'm trying to write a script that links to files by contact

checkout get_image_paths()

> sorry Veronica linux gets detected as a virus Which distro? Also I'm not surprised considering microshit wants you to keep using winglows

cal0pteryx, i want create an xmpp client with nbxmpp !! that"s why i want know how to install nbxmpp on windows !

cal0pteryx, sorry ! Gajim is awsome ( using it for 6 years) ! but i want creat a lightweight xmpp client not with all featues ! for personal use !
