Gajim - 2024-11-19

Hello. I may have found a bug. I found that, if you paste a long link, then the chat window fails to wrap properly (or the wrap length becomes much longer, obliging you to have a wide window if you wanted to read the rightmost edges of lines). To demonstrate this potential bug, I will insert a long link. Sorry if it disrupts your reading experience (as it must). All you have to fix the issue, is to right-click link > delete locally. Thanks.

I am using Gajim in Manjaro Linux. The version is 1.9.3 (Unix/Linux).

Sorry, that was: hover over link > click three dots icon > Delete Message locally

novice8: it's a known issue https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11854

@hannibal: Okay. Thanks.

> Though old gtk4 version not tested with that lovetox: well, it looks like I'll wait till I update debian to next stable before I can test gajim-gtk4 :) > Gajim needs gtk4 >= 4.14.0 (found 4.8.3) to run. Quitting... ↺

can you guys pretty please fix the d&d issue?

Please report it on our issue tracker with detailed information what DE you are using, Wayland/X11, flatpak or not

ok

Hi, do you know where i can get the omemo of an account (mine or another one) on 1.7.3 (debian 12)? ✏

I am stuck since i do not see how to get thé omemo key from my own client so i seem unable to confirm my omemo key and so i can't use gajim in a secure way

Fil: you mean the fingerprint, not the private/public/iterated key. In recent version you have a lock symbol button next to the input field, where you can see your fingerprint in a dialog if you click it. Or Go to Accounts -> manage accounts (earlier it was named add account iirc) -> encryption (omemo). Or if your version still uses a plugin for omemo: Go to gajim -> plugins -> omemo plugin settings ✏

Hello, I have a basic user question. I use Gajim on multiple devices. Where in the menus do I find the name for each instance? (Am attempting to send a file that's large so Gajim asking me for device name.) Apologies for such a "dummy" question.

meson: thx :)

I noticed in gajim 1.7.3 that some accounts with which I just exchanged are however displayed at the end of my workspace. Do you know how to fix this?

fil: you probably hovered your mouse over the list. The list does not sort if you hover it, to avoid jumping chats under your cursor

I don't think so, here is what I got

timestamps are from 2021 but I received messages from today (and the accounts are displayed at the end of my workspace)

Known issue? git master 1.9.5+git20241117.d997efc1-1 (Debian experimental) has no tray icon.

debacle: since gtk 4 removed its status icon, we had to implement our own. There is a dbus service now aand it works with some implementations (kde for example). lovetox knows more :)

cal0pteryx, I changed the image preview a bit :) what do you think?

Rounded corners, better vertical spacing, great! :)

but it's not complete, I see there's a weird frame around. Will check that tomorrow.

if you wanna play around or finish it for me if you are okay with the way to go: https://dev.gajim.org/mesonium/gajim/-/commit/9cc2ba76b463abd58ecb8efac2f23af8833b6e5b

meson: thanks a lot

why round the corners? aren't you just cutting off part of the image?

bard_: it's just a very few pixels. No one has ever complained in Conversations afaik :)

And they cut away there a lot more.

I certainly complained to myself and friends when Conversations did it as well. very strange and unfortunate trend.

its a small preview, i guess if you care about 5 pixels in a corner, you will also care to see the image in full, and one click opens it in your favorite image viewer

Hi, your CI seems to be failing here: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/1101

This won't lead to anything. Some people like rounded corners, some people don't. Current trend is rounded, and that's also what Gtk does. So rounded it is

Link Mauve, im not sure this is the right solution

if they type a username, the next step in the assisant will fail

would it not be better to maybe give an example in this dialog?

Right now it says "Please enter an XMPP address"

it could say "Please enter an XMPP address e.g. username@domain.org"

or we could replace the entry placeholder with an example of the jid

lovetox, I remember reading not long ago that placeholders like that are bad for accessibility.

it cant be worse than no hint at all ✏

also i dont see how that can be bad, its text on the screen

debacle, sadly libappindicator is based on Gtk.Menu, which is only available in Gtk3. So we're left to implement all backends ourself

does gajim support OMEMO encrypted file transfers? Like, https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0396.html ? ✏
