Gajim - 2024-08-04

hmm, I'm not sure how picky to get on reporting all the things that might be "wrong" with the message search as I assume we are trying to get by without going full complexity of word splitting and everything

so it's difficult to say what I expect search to do differently when I know that the full possible capabilities are probably a fairly time consuming project that won't be happening right now

I wonder if it would make sense to build filters into the gui instead of interpreting them from the single search query, as a means to make it easier

I'm wondering if the ability to search for messages from multi-word nicks was delayed because it is like opening a can of worms :)

what can of worms, its now quoted, whats the problem?

it just seems like trying to do this without word splitting and extra code makes some difficulties

I'm writing a bug report

it's done

That's how a quick fix turns to making a gui overhaul required :P

Maybe I just revert the fix and be done

:(

I need to start learning to code, damn it ✏

I had planned to do this via gui anyway

Oh. Well, that does seem like it would require less work overall.

It's certainly easier to determine filters then

cal0pteryx: do you have some UI concept in mind? I know the Dolphin maintainers are debating on overhauling their UI and they've created some mockups. However, a good search UI seems to be hard. https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/issues/46 ✏

meson, an expander containing three filters: one entry for username, and one date selector (+ display label) for before and after

that way, filters can be present on demand

and due to proper input handling, we make it less error-prone

Could that be made generic enough to use it also for a media browser? (I've not had time yet, but I feel motivated at some time in the future)

Anyway sounds good to me

I'd do that once we get there :)

it's not super-complex

The media browser? Okay, I put it off my list ;) ✏

:D 2h tops

but yes, a media browser with filters would be nice

You say you'd write a media browser in 2hours? easy :D
