    • RE: tedit development and design discussion

      @domubpkm And I got something else for testing. I added an option to share notes from tedit to other apps. Can be tested from this pipeline (is including the subfolder additions): https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/14249888806/artifacts/file/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/tedit.danfro_3.6.1_arm64.click

      And now when importing a file via content hub into tedit, the file list page is not show (if that setting is enabled to start with that view). That doesn't make sense, when importing we want to see our imported file.

      @domubpkm Yeah, I found the bug, thanks for testing. Forgot an "else" branch when no slash is used. The latest build should fix that: https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/14248945062/artifacts/file/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/tedit.danfro_3.6.1_arm64.click.

      @domubpkm that must be the last change I did. It worked with the first change. But I can confirm that, need to look into that. Thanks for reporting.

      @domubpkm Please try the latest build: https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/14223553449/artifacts/file/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/tedit.danfro_3.6.1_arm64.click

      Not nice, but as a quick solution, I add a linebreak after the last slash. So subfolders are now shown on a separate line, the file name on another line. This allows to display longer names/more than one subfolder.
      But I do admit, this is not a fully perfect solution yet. So better not overuse it.

      If you wish to filter for all files in subfolders, you can put the "/" in the search box.

    • RE: tedit development and design discussion

      @domubpkm I understand it this way, that subfolders are not readable. I did add this functionality and also allow saving including subfolders right now. You can try a build from the lastest pipeline: https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/14208121476/artifacts/file/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/tedit.danfro_3.6.1_arm64.click

      It would be great if you could give that a good test. I am not sure if I found all places where the file name needs to be adjusted to allow subfolders.

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @pparent my description was maybe not clear enough. The power button itself works. It brings up the power menu, but pressing the buttons failed. But I can't reproduce it right now (after a reboot). So who knows...

    • RE: Questions specific to gestures..."back"

      @undrwater I think it may not be a general aversion to guestures, but UT already has some implemented. So adding more without breaking something and doing it in a nice way isn't easy.

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @pparent thanks a lot for the quick response. Just some feedback in case others try that:

      yes, the app now opens, but...

      • I can't close it, when swiping into the drawer, it becomes a transparent window which I can't swipe to close
      • I couldn't reboot with the power button since that was somehow blocked

      I hope that makes some sense to you.

      @pparent please don't get me wrong. I know that 2.x daily is bleeding edge, so I don't expect you to fix that imediately. Just wanted to share my experience.
      Interesting that @ida_ gets it working eventually. Maybe I would need to try more often.

    • RE: Questions specific to gestures..."back"

      @CiberSheep to be honest, I disagree here. In my opinion we rather should update our HIG design to cover/allow for other app navigation methods.
      For instance OP8T (and another device which I don't remember) has the camera exactly where the back button sits. And this back button IS hard to reach with phones getting larger. This is a problem coming up again and again for a reason.
      Yes, there is no universal back, but there is in-app back.

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @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.

    • RE: signal bridge on cinny

      @richdb Isn't beeper technically working like a bridge (collection of bridges)? There are also other signal bridges out there, or one can self host one.

    • RE: signal bridge on cinny

      @messayisto I just checked on my signal bridge room. That has encryption enabled. So in theory it should work this way. But of course no idea if it would work when setting it up new again. Sometimes old tjings work and new ones break.

    • RE: signal bridge on cinny

      @messayisto Matrix bridge signal is linked as a secondary device to your signal installation. I never did that since using the bridge, but I can guess, that when changing your primary installation for Signal, you may need to connect all secomdary linked devices again. Would kimd of make sense.

      Regarding "login" and no answer, I don't have much advice, but only know that matrix bridges can hang. If there is no message/reply at all, best try again later or zry to find out if your bridge works. I had it before, that the bridge was down or flooded or whatever and the bridge maintainer had to fix something. So have some (a lot) of patience might be needed.

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @gpatel-fr We certainly can als use gsettings. I made a proof of concept for ThemeSwitch app a while ago (https://gitlab.com/Danfro/themeswitch/-/tree/gsetting_focal?ref_type=heads).

      I am almost sure we can't use other apps values without loosing confinement. The value would need to be provided by the system. I guess if GRID_UNIT_PX could be changed in system settings and apps read that, that might work. Or it may need another apparmor rule. But I am really not that knowledgable to answer all details.

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @gpatel-fr I do admit, I didn't look into Qt6 yet. Maybe that will bring us ways to improve. And you are right, since we use components like Qt or Ubuntu, there are professionals working on that. But it still needs people to make use of it in UT.

      @pparent Looks like its somehow working with a config file: https://gitlab.com/myii/ut-tweak-tool/-/blob/master/src/app/qml/behaviourTab/LomiriScaling.qml?ref_type=heads#L32

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @mango I remember discussions from TG groups every now and then. And @pparent I am sorry if my comment about glasses was misleading. I didn't wanted to be disrespectful for people with reduced sight.

      The qml code does in theory allow to use relative text sizes. See: https://ubports.gitlab.io/docs/api-docs/index.html?p=lomiriuserinterfacetoolkit%2Fqml-lomiri-components-label.html
      I think this might even be a Lomiri adjustment, because I don't see textSize property in normal Qt Label.
      Maybe we should bring up this topic into develompent groups again.

      But for instance buttons generally don't have word wrapping available by design. So increasing a label by using a larger text (not mentioning longer translations, German is bad in that regard 😅) may make the button label being cut off. Just as one example on how complex this is.
      I guess I should start by using this setting in my apps and try to rework them at least step by step.

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @gpatel-fr Sure, that's why I said its a personal thing. I am well aware that some people really need larger text. We had other users asking for that feature before. I gladly can still do without. But it doesn't change the situation, that we wish do help them, but haven't got the menpower to do so.

      Although signal app might be different being a desktop app, if that allows scaling. So it could be done per app.

      I actually compared the text size of teleports with signal app right now. Text in Signal app is a bit smaller than in teleports. This is on OP5T with default scaling at 21.
