Many thanks Dax, option 1 fixed it, but just to point out I had to select 'show hidden files' in the file browser settings (for any other tyros like me). App looks fantastic, and just the job. :)

naveenrv's picture

Images don't seem to load anymore. Is this a known issue?

Dax's picture

In conversations?

naveenrv's picture

Yes, in conversations. The circle that shows loading status keeps rotating endlessly

Dax's picture

There are two types of messages that are handled in a differently:

  1. Pure Photo: Message is displayed as an image
  2. Photo sent as File: A small thumbnail with filename and size displayed in the right part

Is it possible to know which type is? (Checking it with the official client, if needed)

Thanks!

naveenrv's picture

This is just for pure photos. Works on the official telegram app though

timetourist's picture

This question might sound very naive, but it just came to my mind... Are all connections between Sailorgram and the Telegram servers encrypted? So even if I'm using a public WiFi my traffic is secured?

Dax's picture

Hi!

MTProto is used in order to communicate with Telegram Servers.
More info here: https://core.telegram.org/mtproto

Secret Chats have an additional layer of protection

timetourist's picture

Thank you!! This app should receive official support through Jolla. Since Jolla possitions itself as a good choice for privacy advocates, secure messaging should have highest priority.

Ok, so let me report some minor bugs: ;)

1) New Message cover action disappears after opening a voice message (which leads to media cover actions), i.e. closing audio files should restore New Message cover action.

2) Saving an audio file will show a notification "Image was saved in Gallery", the saved file was OGX saved in ~/Music.

3) [As mentioned before] Download menu item doesn't disappear after having the media file (both photo and audio) downloaded.

4) Scrolling doesn't work in multilined messages so if you paste a long text you can't see nor edit the first lines currently out of page; instead, it reveals pully menu.

5) Notifications: Disable Notifications doesn't work for groups. The pully menu option stays unchanged and the app keeps notifying about groups with Disabled Notifications, however works for individuals.

6) Profile editor: When changing username the app doesn't return any errors for existing usernames.

7) The chats main page needs some work for better landscape support.

alina's picture

I'm happy you're back, and I hope you've had good vacations. :)

The bugs (2), (3), (4), (7) are fixed in 0.71-10 dev edition.

Dax's picture

Yes :)

You was right about automatic downloads: in some circumstances pure photo messages was downloaded automatically.

It's fixed now, you will see the thumbnails first, complete medias are downloaded when you click on it.

Media management received lots of fixes in this dev-version.

Dax's picture

1) Fix in 0.72

2) Typo in string, I will fix it in 0.72, saving audio files in "Music" folder is a feature, Telegram records audio in OGX format, that's why vanilla Sailfish can't play it.

3) Fix in 0.72

4) Fix in 0.72

5) Fix in 0.72

6) Known issue: that Telegram's API is missing in Cutegram's library, I need to implement it myself and send a patch to Cutegram's developer.

7) I know, maybe I can reduce the header a bit :)

alina's picture

To improve conversation page (especially in landscape), what do you think about removing the whole header, just like Messages app? Because the sender name is displayed with every single message.

Dax's picture

I can make a switch button in settings so everyone can customize the view when he/she likes

alina's picture

It'll be great!

alina's picture

Thanks for your reply.

7) I mean the first page which shows the green/red dot for status and lists all conversations and groups.

Dax's picture

Aaah, the main page!

If you have any ideas in order to improve it, post here! :)

alina's picture

No idea, it doesn't fill the whole screen.

Dax's picture

Sorry, my fault, I've never noticed!

It will be fixed in 0.72

Thanks for the features!

Hi. Would like to make some correction in "harbour-sailorgram-fr.qm" and send it back to you. Any utility available to do so?
Dax's picture

I'm using Transifex for localizations: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/sailorgram/

You can contact French team there or create an account and make the corrections yourself!

objectifnul's picture

Done, thx.

UiPo1goo's picture

Great work. But sometimes won't reconnect because does not show newest messages like in TG.

Don't use other UI handling and display, use the Sailfish way.

Give me a bitcoin address and you will get a small tip.

Dax's picture

It seems to be related to Cutegram's library: https://github.com/Aseman-Land/Cutegram/issues/128
I will make some tests in order to fix it!

I have added BitCoin's address in the project's description.
Thanks! :)

Crash sending (selecting) photos.

Hi, great work so far!

But in version 7 we can only select some first in order and small photos for sending. If I try to scroll down my cameras folder content the app will crash. I think it is a problem with picture size an/or preview before selecting a photo.

It crashes BEFORE I can select a photo!

Lots of greetings

 

Uwe

 

Dax's picture

So, the issue is in the file picker?

If yes, the crash can be triggered when the small thumbnail is generated, or when its size is calculated (maybe it' a division by 0), I will make some tests :)

Thanks for reporting!

zash1958's picture

Yes,

 

seems to be the file picker. First photos in the list may work, but scrolling down the list crashes the app.

 

alina's picture

Thanks again for the great update and for great new features implemented!

The new UI is beautiful, I like it. The integrated photo viewer is great, and the option to save in gallery works as it should. But it seems the media are downloaded automatically now. And I can't hear audio messages yet.

Further, there is no options to send messages with Enter. Where to find it?

Unfortunately the bug about showing contacts' usernames instead of their names still exists.
