      I had SignalUT working okay but then had other issues (with primary Molly, Waydroid) causing me to uninstall (click trash icon in OpenStore) and reinstall several times.

      Now, it seems SignalUT won't start (it just hangs indefinitely). I'd like to cleanly uninstall, reinstall and then link to my (now working) Molly Foss within Waydroid.

      Is there a more brute force method to cleanly uninstall everything (than trash can icon in OpenStore)? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.

      Use UT Tweak Tool, then clear all 3 data locations from that.

          I've published version 0.8.3-2 with the following improvements.

          • Make the left menu responsive
          • Fix a problem with uploading a document other than image (contentHub)

          Note: no Signal-Desktop version bump for this revision, because building broke with my current scripts for 8.4.0 and 8.5.0, I'll have to look into it later.

          Don't hesitate to tell me if everything works well for you.

              What do you mean "change the appearence"? It simply means that you can display and navigate properly in the menu in vertical mode, as shown in the screenshot.

              The combobox still do not work, it is a problem with XWayland and Lomiri.

                @pparent sorry for beeing unclear. I appreciate using the navigation, but when I click for example on " appearence" there is only "system" available. But thats normal, isn't it?

                  It's not that there is only "system", it is that the combobox, ( or "<select>" in html ) does not work. i.e the element that allows you to chose, does not display well, but it is sadly the case in most XWayland apps, in UT and I can't do much about it right now.

                      I'm not sure how relevant this is to the development of this extremely useful native app. But I think it's at least interesting.

                        @Moem Very nice, could be very cool if Signal Destkop, hence Signal UT, would become a primary client, with no need to link it to an iOS or Android device!

                        Thank's for sharing!

                          Up to now I didn't find a way to insert a picture from gallery or filemanager into a signal chat - latest UBT with my FP4...

                            You need to open file directly from Signal app, by clicking on the "+" in the bottom right hand corner of a chat, and then select the gallery app, to select the file to import.

                            It's true that there is currently something that should not be: Signal appears in the application grid in content Hub, as an option to export an image to, it should not, this does not work that way, only the other way around import the picture from the signal app. I will correct that in next revision.

                              @pparent sorry - none of the buttons that appear in the bottom right corner have an effect, except of a short flicker of the keyboard...

                                Can you tell which version of UT are you using, and post a video screenshot? because on all the phones that I own it works fine, so I would need to see visually whats happens on your phone.

                                      Ok but could you record the screen when it fails to import the file with:

                                      https://open-store.io/app/screenrecorder.ubports

                                      because I fail to see what could be happening.

                                        @pparent Many tries later - with a failed speechmessage too - unexpected: sending a picture works fine up to now. Later I will send you a screencast of the failed picture insert before. Btw: installing the screencast App failed... AppStore always returns to the green "installieren" button!

                                            You can publish on youtube or other video platform.

                                            For the record I will publish a new version with update Signal-Desktop version, in early june.
