Gajim - 2025-07-03

Hey guys., Why my chat says, This message was encrypted with OMEMO, but not for your device. How can i fix?

Most of the time it's because messages were sent before you install the app on the new device, or maybe you let the device disconnected for too long (days)

Are you in one of those situations?

Yeah, Unfortunately. What can i do?

To avoid it in the future you need to keep your devices connected regularly. For the first case you can't do anything, it's how end to end encryption work

thank you

the emoji selector has no emojis in it for me since 2.3.0, categories are empty and search doesn't find any

oh dude

er, wrong channel, sorry.

Regarding window rendering issues on Windows, this may be a clue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7567

> translate.gajim.org is back resoli, Thanks lovetox. I checked and my account is still valid. ↺

The current italian translation is really a mess

The worst part is the right mouse action over a conversation, which is not only absurd, but even functionally wrong

The wording for "Pin Chat", "Move Chat" an "Mute Chat" are rendered as "Group Chat" "Private Chat" "Private Chat" italian equivalents. Morover, the two "Pivate Chat" items lead both to the timings list for muting chat. No way to engage the move chat action. (Happily, it is possible to drag and drop chats for moving them)

A short video to better illustrate:

https://share.conversations.im/resoli/message/jjVxg86g8KLeVxHQ/Video_del_03-07-2025_09_27_08.webm

I corrected the translation for these items, but I don't know if that will revert the fuctions as well

I guess that something happened to translations on this 2.3.* releases. Weblate says that these words were untouched since years

Thanks I check in the evening

Hi guys, before, with the old Windows version (195 i believe) I could right-click on a picture in a browser, click "copy" and paste the pic into the Gajim chat. That doesn't work with the new version. How can I re-enable it?

And I cannot drag&drop pictures into the Gajim chat window?!? WTF guys! And while installing the new version, the install process deleted the content of my C:\Users\[user]\Downloads\Gajim folder. WTF?!?

I corrected the translation of switch widgets as well

resoli: thanks

sevenupman: thanks for your feedback. I'll try to reproduce that later

sevenupman: Aren't downloads usually found in C:\Users\$user\AppData\Roaming\Gajim\Downloads ?

or is this only the case if installed via the app store?

No we changed it to the Standard Windows Download folder

With app store Installations appdata is virtualized and other apps don't have access

Which lead to the picture app not finding a downloaded picture

> sevenupman: Aren't downloads usually found in C:\Users\$user\AppData\Roaming\Gajim\Downloads ? YES! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. As lovetox correctly pointed out, the d/l folder was changed and I had to assume all downloads have been lost. But the drag&drop issue still exists. ↺

Great :)

Regarding pasting on Win10 and Gajim 2.3.2, I can confirm that it doesn't work:

https://share.conversations.im/meeson_/message/llP2Yn51N7ColjQo/A8fw1xfmReuLG-TZcHDolg.jpg

I get a mime type error. Gajim was installed via the msi installer.

And someone reported earlier here that opening dialogs doesn't feel snappy on Windows, can confirm that too. There's like quarter to half a second delay. ✏

> And someone reported earlier here that opening dialogs doesn't feel snappy on Windows, can confirm that too. There's like half a second delay. Maybe even longer. I can confirm that. Windows 10 on a pretty powerful Ryzen machine. ↺

And someone reported earlier here that opening the preference dialog doesn't feel snappy on Windows, can confirm that too. There's like quarter to half a second delay. ✏

mesonium: most likely an MSYS issue, little we can do without bigger changes

Thanks for the pointer regarding image pasting. I'll have a look later

And the about about dialog, it doesn't open for me centered on Win10

Features neither. Hotkeys' window is fine

> Regarding window rendering issues on Windows, this may be a clue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7567 I think you linked the wrong report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7577 ↺

Weird, my just message from Gajim 2.3.1 isn't displayed in Gajim itself, but apparently it was sent according to Conversations. :-/ This time on Tumbleweed.

Re-switching to the chat shows it, but it's still shows an older message in the chat list ✏

mesonium: both reports are relevant, thanks

> Weird, my just message from Gajim 2.3.1 isn't displayed in Gajim itself, but apparently it was sent according to Conversations. :-/ This time on Tumbleweed. oh I also got the same issue today: lot of messages show on Conversations by I never received them on Gajim ↺

Restarting Gajim now doesn't show my last messages. I will need to debug this later.

> Hi. 2.3.1 version starts as a blank white window for me on Windows 10 64-bit (Intel integrated graphics, if this is important). wroot, you could try to add a new system environment variable named `GSK_RENDERER` with the value `cairo` or `vulkan` and restart Gajim. According to the above linked issue, this might fix the issue for you. ↺

There was a similar DnD issue for msys2 on Win10: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4498 however, it has been resolved 2 years ago. Probably it has regressed once again?

> No we changed it to the Standard Windows Download folder couldn't the old folder be migrated on updating? ↺

. ✏

yes, but its to cumbersome

there could be 20 GB in this folder

then you need to build a file transfer dialog, show progress etc

> then you need to build a file transfer dialog, show progress etc A message that informs the user of the new folder would be nice. Would have saved me a near-heartattack. Is there an option to change the folder back to the original location, potential issues nonwithstanding? ↺

no, why would you do that?

To keep everything as is? It certainly worked for me before without any issues.

its not unthinkable to have a custom download location configureable

yeah somekind of inbuilt "Whats New" Dialog that pops up on first start in each version, could be nice

hannibal, any idea why the openpgp plugin fails to build? https://github.com/flathub/org.gajim.Gajim.Plugin.openpgp/pull/14

lissine: no, it's complicated, sadly. Windows uses a virtualized file storage for windows apps, and that's not suited for shared file access (like opening images in other apps than Gajim)

Gajim 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 have been released and include some bugfixes: https://gajim.org/posts/2025-07-02-gajim-2.3.1-2.3.2-released/

> Regarding pasting on Win10 and Gajim 2.3.2, I can confirm that it doesn't work: For me it works fine. Which kind of file did you try to paste? ↺

cal0pteryx: a txt file and a jpg

Ok, I tried a png from the snipping tool and a browser image from chrome (also a png)

I assume it's a more general issue. So we both use an up to date win10, gajim 2.3.2 installed over 1.9.5 with the installer? You copy the file, click into the input message field and paste it?

Windows 11 and 2.3.2 from the Store for me

So at least two variables, which differ

sevenupman also uses Win10

for me pastes from irfanview (ctrl-a + ctrl+c) don't work. but most others do

I pasted it from the windows explorer

So drag&drop works from Windows Explorer (Win10) but not from XnView MP, while it did before. Right-klicking images in a browser and pasting them in the chat works occasionally, it seems. While it didn't work for me earlier today, it seems to work fine now, from different browsers. Go figure.

It's probably presenting different mime types for different cases. I'll check more extensively
