Gajim - 2024-07-16

Hello, when I edit the display name of Firefox in the Manjaro Linux start menu, Gajim can no longer load linked Internet page in Firefox. I am not sure who can fix this but am raising it with both Manjaro and here. (Also not that critical for me. I can just not edit the display name.) See this more details: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/editing-name-of-firefox-in-whisker-menus-favorites-disrupts-function/165518/6

I dont use manjaro, btw

feels like such an arch based distro brings more surface for bugs

epic: that's totally irrelevant here

novice8: gajim should only request to open a browser. Not sure, maybe we had a setting for that. You can check Preferences > Advanced. But that's the only thing which comes to my mind

cal0pteryx: Thanks. I couldn't find anything promising in Advanced Configuration Editor (not that I am good at finding things of this sort). If Gajim is hard set to request only a browser, then the solution may have to come from the Manjaro end.

novice8: does this affect the opening of URL's in other applications or just gajim?

this might be the equivalent of doing xdg-open in the terminal

John: Only Gajim. Even after Firefox's display name change, xdg-open opens to browser. This was valuable info. Thanks. (Apologies if the message doubles up. Somehow the first one did not appear in my Gajim.)

We use Gio for opening stuff, and that again uses different stuff depending on the distro

It's a deep rabbit hole. But it's certainly no Gajims issue

Do I need to install or change sth in order to make drag and drop a file into Gajim Flatpak possible on Fedora40 KDE Plasma Wayland?

xdg desktop portals (kde, gtk, gnome) are installed

hannibal ^ ?

I'd like to document required packages to get gajim flatpak fully integrated. meson could you post the packages you installed?

``` flatpak 1.15.8 xdg-desktop-portal 1.18.4 xdg-desktop-portal-kde 6.1.2 xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.15.1 xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 46.2 Gajim 1.9.1 flatpak GTK-Version: 3.24.42 GLib-Version: 2.80.2 PyGObject-Version: 3.48.2 ```

Thanks!

On editing Firefox's name in start menu affecting Gajim's ability to open links in Firefox, it would appear that it was not "just Gajim." There were other consequences outside Gajim. If intereseted, you can see that in the same posted I linked before, or here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/editing-name-of-firefox-in-whisker-menus-favorites-disrupts-function/165518

meson: what Gajim version?

hannibal: as posted above, 1.9.1 ✏

Missed that :)

meson: can you create an issue?

hannibal: done

Hi. Good afternoon from Brazil!

> In "Maximum message length", I have provided "1", which should block spam messages. It did not work. I am still being spammed.

At least the spam rate has reduced.

For each spammer, Gajim says I have received a message from a stranger; so it seems they are no longer adding me as contact.

Oh wait, that's on Conversations (the smartphone app). In Gajim I have not seen recent spam

Can I block contacts in batch?

I still have my workspace polluted with a lot of past spam.

cal0pteryx, actually the description is wrong, for sending a file (that is, opening a file picker on the host) you only need xdg-desktop-portal-gtk or xdg-desktop-portal-kde, every other one (notably xdg-desktop-portal-gnome) are about the rest of the desktop integration.

I see, thanks!

Multiple portal implementations can provide the same endpoint, it’s then up to your desktop environment to order them correctly.

And to this day, only GNOME and KDE do this properly that I know of…

All smaller DEs fail to load them correctly, relying on the user to install exactly the wanted one(s).

Note that this isn’t only about flatpak, portals also get used outside (much more in GTK 4 than it was in 3 though).

And they will maybe be used a lot more in the future to secure plasma software :) > Sandbox all the things! > Moving towards a "portals first" approach in our frameworks > Improve portals for sharing content between sandaboxes https://phabricator.kde.org/T17370 ✏
