@ikoz ah, background color. That could be too. With flickable I think, I couldn't get flicking flickable and scrolling in the TextArea get working since both use the touch events. Yeah, not that easy. Its not that I didn't try.

@domubpkm This is more for the "human eye". The file will be simple text regardless of the extension. But I think this is safer also when sharing to other apps since they can use the extension.

But I agree, I should simply add the extension without bothering the user with this checkbox.

@ikoz Have you tried it with a large text in a TextArea? Its too long ago to remember details, but I tried that and decided this won't be a good solution. I think scrolling or so was not possible or some other restriction. Some users do have multi page text, so that would need to be handled.

Its not that I am against it. If we can make that usable I won't mind. Maybe I did something wrong when trying.

@ikoz Because text doesn't allow scrolling and pan, webview does. The whole handling of long documents is not easy and would need to be added manually. So a webview is an easy out-of-the-box solution. Not perfect, sure.

@domubpkm tedit uses .txt for all files stored. That should have been there all the time. Is there some different behaviour now than before?

No, the link would only be clickable if you would wrap it in proper html tags. See here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

I will try to see if I can improve the copy option, but that is our morph/webview implementation. Should be the same in your browser.

@domubpkm Please try this build. https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/10912582472/artifacts/raw/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/tedit.danfro_3.5.1.1_arm64.click

I did increase the version number. This might be needed for the device to pick up the apparmor change. I had to add "webview" permission there.

@domubpkm I finally found my mistake and managed to implement a read-only mode using a webview. Can you (and anyone else of course) please test this new build: link (use link below)

It might not be the most fancy way of doing it, but it seems to work. Since the text is shown in html, if you do use common html tags like <b>bold text</b> they should be displayed. Yes, that means if you do bother copying links with the full html link tag, they should be clickable as well.

@mschmids Since some changes in mattix sdk cause the problems, it may well be that element web faces the same issues as cinny, because it likey uses that as well. Just a guess, though.

@wally Correct, Cinny does work on focal very well. But right now, we will not have newer Cinny features.

If I find some time, I will try to do some UT-only bug fixes. And I will keep trying to look into making the newer version to work on UT.

@AppLee Sadly this is true. Cinny 4.7.0, 4.7.1 and 4.8.0 have been released. But they bumped matrix sdk, which makes the app only throw an error (as web app in morph the same). I didn't find a way yet to make it work with our Webengine (I tried with every release). I will try our dev group when I find time, but in worst case we will need to wait for a newer browser until we can have more cinny updates.

Oh, sorry, just saw that you are still on xenial. There is no xenial version of cinny-ut and there will not be one (at least not done by me).

@mschmids Better try cinny-ut from OpenStore, which is a much newer version.

@janmv I joined their matrix community room at https://matrix.to/#/#tchncs:tchncs.de. Sadly recently a lot talk about spam protection, but that is where I asked and learned about that. I confirm, a friendly admin - unless your a spammer.

@Marcos Thanks for your detailed instructions. I take it, step 2 means to kick the bot user our of the space/room? I am not using beeper, so trying to find out the aquivalent for Cinny.

@janmv are you trying the tchncs.de signal bridge? There where discussions in their matrix room during the last few days, that the maintainer of that server thought about blocking users from foreign (= non German) countries due to some very heavy spam happening recently.
I sadly saw some of the pics before they got redacted and got invites into rooms. Trust me those ... (I am struggling to write people, monsters would fit better) whatever need to be stopped. But sadly all of us are affected and suffer.

So maybe they did make that happen and restricted access to the bot.

Note: I was assured, when I asked, that existing users are not affected.

@Marcos May I ask, how do you remove a bridge? I couldn't find much info on that? I think of re-doing my signal bridge since somehow I get no notifications but an unread counter of 1. Something is stuck somewhere.

@rdfrs in addition to what @Moem explained, you can also go to the room with signal bridge bot, there you can type

• help to get a full list of available commands
• start-chat PHONENUMBER to start a chat from the bot end, provide the phone number in international format as +1234567890

And once you have your chats as rooms in Cinny, you can type messages there as with any other room.

@RedXXIII Thanks for reporting back. Good to see it confirmed, that both Cinny's can't "live" next to each other.

@RedXXIII you can only try uninstalling the old one. I don't have both installed. It might be to some of the patches we use, that they register to the same push helper. So it might be worth uninstalling one.

Anyone else here using the tchncs signal bridge and having problems recently? It stopped working for me.

From reading in their support chat I learned, that might be due to some "federation issues" with tchncs and matrix.org. Whatever that means.
