is this plugin built into upstream by now? since, uploaded images already have previews currently

Yep https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim-plugins/-/wikis/home#plugins-list

its just for images with formats like HEIC, don't work. Would need the necessarily libraries I assume installed to enable this, just needed to know which ✏

> GdkPixbuf and PIL will look for libraries that will enable it for these :) ↺

There are pixbuf loaders for that. And afair Gajim's wiki lists one for heif/heic

When I open the Log in the debug console in the GUI, the date is "11/22/24" How can I get a proper RFC 3339 date format?

:)

jstein, in the log or in the protocol tab? ✏

The tab named "Log"

you probably mean the protocol tab

on what version are you? ✏

since a year we display the iso format

before that it dependend what was configured on your system

my version is 1.9.3 (Unix/Linux) compiled from source on Gentoo

> before that it dependend what was configured on your system I remember that we discussed this some time ago. This is why I am curious where the old time format comes from. Should I check my config for an old setting or does the log need to be deleted for a new creation? ↺

jstein, in Preferences > Advanced > ACE, check for "format" (date/time) and reset it

was set like that^^ I will reset it and set it again and restart.

after restart it is still the same. Any further ideas?

i already told you, it was changed a year ago to iso format, before that it took it from your system configuration

you cannot configure this in gajim

lovetox, so the option is obsolete. Correct?

and (b) I need to find the origin for the strange date format somewhere else

jstein, probaly a gajim update would help

its not obsolete, it just does not influence that timestamp

haha, that pinged me

but its weird that it does show it like that, because 1.9.3 was released 2024

hm there is some bug here

the timeformat we pass, does not influence it

Oh Gajim is already at 1.9.5.... I did not notice. Thankfully its weekend. I will have a look at the package.

i found the bug, we did not change the format in all places

so its still the old one for the debug console, it depends on your system config

its correct iso format if you start gajim from console

lovetox, thank you for looking it up in the code!

lovetox, started from xfce-terminal and got the same result.

jstein, i meant the output in the terminal console

the debug window will always show the wrong one

ah :D

Hey, i can't seem to install OMEMO on Gajim it just doesn't show

any help

Debian

kris33, What do you mean, what version are you using? You don't see the icon in the bottom right of the chat window?

i see it but it doesn't show in the plugins (first time user)

it's available in the one-on-one chat as a shield but cant find it in the plugins

That's how it's supposed to be, right? It's not a plugin

i may got it wrong from the website

i thought it's a plugin

it used to be, but these days it's integrated

> i may got it wrong from the website Which website?

kris33: ?

Guys, is there a way from GUI to download someone else's avatar?

i know that they are stored in cache, but i don't want to go trough hassle finding one image among thousand

and also if I can delete media of a group chat that I left

no, you can gather the hash from debug logs and find it in the cache folder

> and also if I can delete media of a group chat that I left media is stored in a download folder, not per chat, so yes you can delete files there, but you need to check every one and decide if you want to delete it ↺

there is no way that you can know if its from that chat

> no, you can gather the hash from debug logs and find it in the cache folder okay then, what command should I use to get the hash? ↺

nevermind, found the cached avatars folder

thanks for help

I am new to Gajim. I had a suggestion for improving the platform - when writing really long messages, I notice the text gets cut off, so I just wrote the message in notepad and copy-pasted into Gajim, but I wish there was a way to expand the relative size of the textbox that you type messages into at the bottom similar to how the Workspace can expand further right.

*expand the text box vertically I mean

c_theorist, it does, you mean it should do more than 5 lines?

Yeah I was thinking more than 5 lines but it's not a huge deal! Also, in general I really like the platform

I think a button to expand into "message composition mode" could be useful for some. Then again, auto expansion might be best. As always, I wonder how other messengers are doing it.

the same, whatsapp gives you 8 lines

the main use case of a instant messenger is to write short messages, you dont draft documents here.

and next you tell me people use Discord as a forum /s
