Gajim - 2025-07-08

not sure if pasting an application error here is ok or should I open an issue?

mirux: a way to reproduce this would be nice :) how did this happen?

good point, I cant remember which exact action

trying to remember/reproduce, sry, no more info atm

Screw pixbuf, just do `picture.set_file(Gio.File.new_for_path(filepath))` and all the performance bottlenecks are gone :D

it's now as fluent as with the color tiles before

(called in a thread though)

Picture loads the file as-is into ram? Or does it convert it to the required size on the fly?

https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/enum.ContentFit.html > Scale the content to fit the allocation, while taking its aspect ratio in consideration. I get it scales it automatically using this option

mesonium: you should not call any gtk operations in a thread

lovetox, yes, I noticed that right now, due to crashes.

Gtk is not thread safe

And loading a file needs no python thread because it offers a async api

So simply assign the bytes to the picture on the callback

like we do in Gajim, right?

Somewhere yes

But maybe you need some kind of queue

Because calling async api on 1000 files at the same time will probably reach some glib task or thread limit

You could also have a file loading thread that passes the bytes with idle_add

Though also this has limits if you call 1000 times idle_add in the same mainloop iteration, the next iteration will still block

alright, thanks, I will need some time to think about it and try things out.

Also I think this will create a memory problem for many files, as I never seen any memory released, maybe check that

Hi, I just upgraded to Gajim 2.3.2, but I get a log of “2025-07-08 20:14:47 (E) nbxmpp.stream (jabber.fr) Unable to connect to jabber.fr” and I can’t figure out how to open the XML console any more.

Windows 11. Just upgraded to 2.3.2. Previous version used to blink/flash the chat window when I receive a new message. I can't seem to find where to make 2.3.2 flash the window.

Link Mauve, ctrl + shift + x, or preferences -> advanced -> xml console ✏

Patrick, it was missed, it comes back in the next version

> Patrick, it was missed, it comes back in the next version thank you for this information :) ↺

lovetox, thanks, but it says the same error with no additional info: 2025-07-08 20:39:16 (E) nbxmpp.stream | (jabber.fr) Unable to connect to jabber.fr

you need to run gajim -v

Ah thanks, I didn’t have the Tor daemon running: 2025-07-08 20:46:25 (I) nbxmpp.connection (jabber.fr) Connecting to proxy ([::1]:9050) 2025-07-08 20:46:25 (I) nbxmpp.connection (jabber.fr) Connect Error: g-io-error-quark: Could not connect to proxy server 127.0.0.1: Connection refused (39)

It might be useful to display this information to the user, if the proxy is failing rather than the connection to the server.

cal0pteryx, why do you copy the file rather than moving it there, or even saving it in place?

because it's "Save as"

Ah, so you already saved the file in some internal Gajim directory, and then just copy it? Gotcha!

it's always saved in "downloads", but "Save as" works as a shortcut to save in a different place

Thanks for the explanation. :)

Surprisingly many ways for things to go wrong :D

Yeah. ^^'

Especially in languages which don’t force you to handle exceptions.
