Gajim - 2024-02-22

hi sweet people, I have a question

is there like a plugin to record voice messages on gajim?

it would be really useful if someone made it

I don't know of one but this has been a fairly frequent desire expressed by people

it seems like it would be a fairly easy plugin to create too

fjklp: we got a volunteer? :p

if I knew python I probably would :)

in the meantime you could use the voice recorder (windows), just tested, it saves the recordings, you just have to paste them manually into the gajim window.

don't know the situation on linux.

that's what I already do, but it isn't quite user-friendly imo

or just do it on the phone.

> that's what I already do, but it isn't quite user-friendly imo thats's true. for longer messages it could save time anyways.

> don't know the situation on linux. stefan: parecord.

wonder why gajim devs always seemed to not be interested in this feature

Other priorities, otherwise it's open source, so you can do it yourself or sponsor someone to work on it or hope that someone else does it finally :)

maximus: most things I implement are things I want to have personally. I don't use voice messages :)

meson, it may not be really easy for someone that is not familiar with the codebase

that's true, it took me some time too when I rewrote the audio player widget, but I can assure you, you get excellent help here ;-)

do you know any good resource/documentation to get started on writing plugins? ✏

I think it'd be worth it to implement it directly into the core to contemplate the player widget.

where is it located?

Hi, I have a question. Is it possible to re-fetch the chat history of a MUC, having joined the MUC, after changing the Default Sync Threshold to a higher value from an initially lower value?

Here it says that the option applies to new public group chats. Does it mean that it has no effect on MUCs that were joined before changing that option's value?

I previously set it to a one day threshold, which I then realized was too small a value for me

I have been scrolling up with the mouse wheel, yet the chat history isn't being fetched at all

remind me pls, is jingle file transfer broken in gajim?

Now I have changed the threshold to one month. Surely I should now start seeing chat history beyond February 21st, right?

The chat history is stuck on that day in my Gajim client.

Cannot retrieve earlier messages.

dennisk: this setting applies only for first time joins. Gajim isn't able to dynamically fetch earlier messages

no currently not, the xmpp protocol does not enable this easily

Why cannot I open the inspector, huh?

Only with the environment variable.

Works fine here

Ctrl+Shift+I

Possibly something overrides it then.

Ctrl+Shift+D doesn't work either.

And AFAIR, I already had such problems with modern Gajim before.

bodqhrohro: problem is on your end.
