Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

vishcompany

I'd like to change the function of the return key from send to new line. I guess it's hidden somewhere in the menus.
Is there a chance of the menus being accessible at some point?

No it's not a feature offered by Signal Desktop. There is no interesting feature in the top bar menu, everything is in the left menu. You can acheive what you want by expanding the editing area by typing on the small arrow.

Thank you, that works fine.

Regarding the left menu, if it has not been mentioned yet: On my X23 I can access only the left part of the menu, when in portrait mode. In landscape mode, the right half becomes visible, but any scrolling only moves the left half, so the lower parts of the right half are not accessible.

Yesterday I started with a Oneplus 5t with UT. I tried to videocall with my mother on Signal UT. We could talk and I could see her, but see couldn't see me.
I also have family abroad, so it is a pretty important function for me.

Also do I have a very big local community here on Signal (>500p, 20 groups and also more specific topicgroups non-local). It is important for me to put off sound-notifications for some groups and not for others. I couldn't find how to do that. Is this already somehow possible?

Yes: go into the group you want to silence, open the menu from the three dots at the right hand top, and choose the 'mute' setting that you want.

@pparent There was a signal update this morning on android, Since then signal app on UT crashes when trying to send a picture as attachement. greetings!

@messayisto

It has probably nothing to do with the Android uprade, there is currently a know random crash when uploading files specifically a Picture. I've investigated and found where the bug comes from, I will try to fix it next week.

Try again several times and you will probably observe that sometimes it crashes sometimes not.

@pparent thanks a lot!

I've published version v8.3.0-1, it brings the following improvements:

Significantly improve the reliability of ContentHub.
Fix the issue with searching for messages in conversations.
Fix access to the media panel in contacts.
Fix the message menu opening inappropriately when scrolling.
Fix the application for the 24.04-1.x daily branch.
Improve reactivity at startup.
Update to Signal Desktop 8.3.0.

Don't hesitate to report if everything works well for you!

messayisto

@pparent yea, it has improved, thanks! one question: was it before that one can only send one single picture?

Moem

@pparent Looks good!

I have a question... I recently tried running SignalUT on UT version 24.04.2.x and it would not run. Is that still the case?

My reason for wanting to run the 'bleeding edge' version is that it gave me great improvements in battery life.

No Idea about the state of 24.04.2.x for now, I can only say that this version works with current 24.04-1.x daily branch!

They are constantly doing updates on the bleeding edge branches, that impact XWayland apps, it's hard to keep updated all the time.

@Moem I just tried it on 24.04-2.x daily. The app opens, loads messages, briefly shows the chat list and then crashs. On the second start if hangs at the splash screen. So no, broken on 2.x.

Fair enough! That's great!

Ah yes, that makes sense, thank you.

Hum that's true that there is a strange thing happening with pdf. I will try to see that in next revision.

In the mean time from my experience if you try it upload a PDF after uploading a picture first (without necessarily sending it), then it works.
