wurstsalat pushed 1 commits to branch gajim/master change: Search: Use quotes to mark search filter content - https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/commit/51aa3f6acd82a5f3b66b05509c9e1d43369b1afa

Hell yeah. I've been looking forward to the quoted search filter fix.

I don't think that commit included an update to the search tooltip. I assume we should update that to reflect the change.

It looks like message search is implicitly quoted? Meaning, an unquoted search for 'drag drop' will only return results for that complete string. It would probably be good to mention this in the tooltip too. ✏

let me know if you want me to make an issue for this

fjklp: quotation is only for the three keywords from, before, after. An example search would be `from:"fjklp" query` And everything inside quotes is taken for a nickname

The query part did not change its behavior

that's what I thought

But yes, the tooltip needs to be update, thanks!

looks like ubuntu 24.04 has python3-sqlalchemy 1.4.50. I guess that means I still can't run git.

why? use a venv

also we have a flatpak nightly

I'm using the nightly flatpak but sometimes I get impatient :)

Like right now I'd like to see how cal0pteryx fixed the message highlighting

> why? use a venv I need to learn this stuff ↺

scripts/dev_env.sh

Would it be possible to merge an already existing new style message database with an old style database?

no

sheeeit

why is that relevant

I started using the gajim nightly flatpak when the new database layout was released without migrating my database because I was afraid of corruption, so I was putting it off. Now I have months of logs on the new database and years of logs on the old one.

export logs on the old one, archive it, and be happy with what you got on the new one ✏

lol

I wonder if I could cobble together the sql commands to make a working merge

the situation where i have to look up what someone said a year ago, didnt happen until now

I do it occasionally

my company deletes all messenger logs after 30 days ✏

you learn fast not to keep important data in the messenger :D

I'm all for keeping notes, but keeping well-organized notes is difficult in my experience. So I've been leaning on the "self-documenting" nature of chat history a lot.

> my company deletes all messenger logs after 30 days well, that kind of creates an interesting dynamic :) ↺

not really, people simply use messenger only for a quick message, thats it

its like with my parents whole foto collection is essentially low res whatsapp photos, and they access it via whatsapp :D

cal0pteryx: The scrollbar hover problem reminds me of the problem where text in the chat message composition/input field becomes shaded the same as quotes and replies. Might there be a similar bug with the message quoting code where the scope is undefined or wrongly defined and it extends to the message input box somehow? The only problem is that this behavior is oddly highly variable; I don't know how to reproduce it.

> its like with my parents whole foto collection is essentially low res whatsapp photos, and they access it via whatsapp :D lol, sad ↺

fjklp: if you can reproduce it, we can see where it comes from.

Unfortunately I can't. Tried many times.

I'll be typing, it gets shaded, I stop typing. Then new messages from others in chat can make it change. Hitting backspace, then typing the same letter usually will result in no shading. I have no idea how it works. Still trying. It just feels like trying to reproduce might be the wrong path at this point.

fjklp, something like this? where red would be grey?

No. I'm not sure what the image implies. For me, the entire text in the input field will change all at once to grey. But it often will "randomly" change between normal and grey shaded. The changes seem to always be caused either by typing a new letter, deleting a letter, or a new message appearing in chat.

There is no change in background color when it happens. The color seems to be the same as quoted message text.

that's no CSS issue I think

I think you might be referring to the thing that happens on line wrapping sometimes.

yes, that one

actually, I'm not sure it's line wrapping, but just multi-line messages.

> that's no CSS issue I think Hmmmm ↺

either way, that one should be fixed ^

I just have this feeling that it's related to messages being quoted and the context/scope/whatever somehow extending to the message input

but that would not change by typing another letter or deleting one

I'm trying to be careful to not assume too much :) And I'm not saying that I think it is a problem with the CSS here. I _was_ asking if you thought it could be. But now I'm speculating that it could be a bug in whatever library that handles the quoted message shading code.

Maybe I should change the quoted message color to red or something and see if the buggy message input matches that color when it happens.

fjklp, I'm just exploring ;)

which file controls quoting text color?

search for "referenced-message". that's the class which is added to the widget

``` https://conference.gajim.org:5281/pastebin/d717c508-79b2-4d43-89a1-757831609e36

This? And may I have a tip on how to make it red?

Yes, that one. background-color: red

1. background-color: red(@insensitive_fg_color, 0.06); 2. background-color: alpha(red, 0.06); 3. background-color: red; ?

all I did was message things up lol

fjklp: succeeded? Where do you try to change it? In the source or gtk Inspector?

I'm changing source for my flatpak install. Doesn't matter because it's nightly and will get fixed on next upgrade.

only success on messing up the UI a bit.
