          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.

                  I've just released revision 8.13.0-1, it includes the following improvements:

                  • Better integration of ContentHub
                  • Better integration of left menu
                  • Bump to Signal-Desktop 8.13

                  It took a bit of time as changes upstream broke my way to compile the package and I had to investigate it.

                  Also I've changed the way ContentHub is handled, now it is hardcoded in Signal-Destkop thank's to a patch. I will make things smoother and more reliable for the user, but it will also prepare the ground for switching to Wayland, with Mir2.x

                  This version should also not crash on Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.x, although the virtual keyboard will probably not work, like on all XWayland apps with 24.04-2.x (currently).

                  I plan to release a new version every 1-2 month, as a Signal-Desktop version is only guarantied to work for a period of 3 months.

                  A feature I want to add is the ability to configure scaling with fine grain.

                  Tell me if the new version works well for you! 😊

                    @pparent good update. I am noticing that the keyboard seems to close after every message rather than staying open. And it seems like that when keyboard closes, the text entry still stays halfway up the screen. But that bug was preexisting. The keyboard closing after every message is new.

                      Yes because for now I cannot detect when the keyboard is really open or not.

                      The keyboard closing after every message is new.

                      Ok I guess it might be a change upstream in Signal-Desktop that provoked it. Thank's for reporting I'll see what I can do about it in next revision.
