Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

bunt7

@pparent I can´t send pictures at the moment, but I try to describe it.

There is a possibilities to set an emoticon: direct on the left beside the text "(-:" This doesn't work on my phone.

But now I found out, that there is another possibility on the downside between "where you can change to numbers". The button shows like a "earth".
So for me is ok now, but first I did not know the second way to set a smiley.

Hum ok well that's strange, on my phone I can add a smiley both from Signal Panel, and from the keyboard (via the icon like a earth).

But it's true that even on my side the smiley panel is a bit buggy keyboard opens and closes many times, sometimes I need to click twice on the button, but other than that it is usable! (It seems it works more reliably if you first click click elsewhere to close the keyboard, and make the text-edit area be at the bottom of the screen) There might be a bug though I will see later.

By the way next release will focus on Importing/Uploading files.

@pparent very cool

I've published the new version v7.83.0-1 that allows uploading files.

For Christmas send a photo to your family with Signal UT, and let me know if it works!

Next release will focus on notifications! Though expect a delay as I will do a pause for Christmas holidays!

Ps: Import and export files through contentHub is currently done in a hacky way until we can switch to wayland and xdg_portal. It might occasionally/rarely fail (including application crash, or application loosing focus) in that case restart the app, and try again.

Could you document the process, when you do? It will be of a lot of help for other developers

Thank you for your suggestion.

I would say, I guess the commits are the documentation of the process. It's not overly complex, and I would say is kind of self-explanatory for a developer.

By the way the code in the Signal UT repo was already reused by someone for "Chromium for UT" App. (I also reused my own code for "Min Browser")

Now if there are specific questions about it I'm always open to answer! But for now, I'm not sure to see the point of investing work into translating the code into human words, that are going to be more vague, and less precise.

Veeeeery nice! It looks slightly hacky, but yes it works. Another sweet improvement!

Can it be, that admin validation requests of people who want to join via a group link, are not displayed in the app? I didn't saw them, but did see them in Signal desktop on my laptop. Both linked, not primary devices.

@danfro

I'm not sure what exactly this would look like, or where this would display. If you have a screenshot it could help!
