Gajim - 2025-08-02

test

How do I fetch MUC histories on demand? Tuning up sync threshold has no effect on 2.3.3 Gajim, but in the same group I can keep fetching messages from Cheogram (Android client).

Now I have to read those messages *now*, and find the place I last read manually, since that made Conversations forget the scrollback, too.

Also in Gajim 1.9 scrollback could've been imitated by stashing away a copy of a message and using search. But search is also broken now.

If one searches a message in Gajim 2.x, Gajim will continually scroll down to the last message, marking everything as read, and also making searching old messages impossible, since now it has to load *everything* from then to now.

Hello. Is there a way to leave a MUC, more directly than searching for it and using the 'forget this chat' from contextual menu? ✏

yes, closing the chat in the chatlist

Mmm ...

Yes and?

So, `provenick`seems known to account

Yes why would we not remember

So I guessed test was still in the participant list

The start chat Dialog is a list of known chats, not a list of joined chats

Which is not, as you said

When i click `forget this chat` in the contextual menu, the appearance change

Yes some people don't want old chats in that list anymore, that's why we added a forget option ✏

Yes, I misunderstood that

Thank you

on Windows, how does one completely uninstall Gajim? Need this so i can do a clean re-install

the problem computer was installed using the setup, then uninstalled. then the windows store version of 2.3.3 was installed.

we are seeing a black box around the window and the taskbar doesn't flash for new messages so i want to uninstall it completely and try again

> Patrick, had you checked the link to enable window flashing in Window's settings? yes. it is enabled ↺

gajim on her pc has a weird black box around the window. something is wrong and i think we'd like to uninstall it completely and start over

I'm not sure if this workaround is in 2.3.3? likely not ✏

I'm not sure if this workaround is in 2.3.3? ✏

it is, but it only makes the black border smaller, it does not hide it

mesonium, thanks for pointing to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/105 this explains for example why clicking window shadows is not activating windows in the background. the shadow is part of the gtk window, thus preventing windows from actually receiving it ✏

sounds reasonable :) you are welcome ✏

see also the comment https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/8559#note_2439181

> So stuff like shadows is more about integration into the windowing system, but even there it's not a great idea if some backends do other stuff because themes are written for GTK as a platform and not for gtk-on-$backend. So if we wanted to make shadows drawn by the OS, we should do that for every OS if at all possible. :D what a mess

Indeed

Patrick: the border is a known bug

A reinstall will not help

But it should be small and don't actually hinder you to use the application

This is a test message. Sorry.

Hmm.

Just fixed the inconsistency in Spanish translations for "ban". In summary, the decision was to keep "_expulsar_" for kick and to use "_vetar_" for ban. I left a compilation of what was being briefly discussed in here and other chats, for reference. For further reading: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12401

Recently, I have done a big search about Gajim. It supports a lot of very old XEP-XXXX versions. So I have started to publish and give solutions to compare current supported version to latest, it will permit to do easy update :) It is based on XEP-0453: DOAP usage in XMPP: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0453.html // "Show Supported XEPs" on https://xmpp.org/software/gajim/ - https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/blob/master/data/gajim.doap XEP-0398: User Avatar to vCard-Based Avatars Conversion update: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12402 XEP-0153: vCard-Based Avatars update: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12403 XEP-0084: User Avatar update: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12404 XEP-0054: vcard-temp update: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12405 XEP-0292: vCard4 Over XMPP update: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12406 XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat update: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12407 XEP-0060: Publish-Subscribe update: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12408

That's pretty much what that link says

help > features doesn't show anything about that

did it actually get taken out or disabled by default?

i didnt find gst-plugins-gtk4 at first because some IQ 9000 genius named it media-plugins/gst-plugin-gtk4 (plugin without s, unlike all other gst things) for whatever reason i love maintainers
