Cool program, but lack of notifications in sleep state.

The notification policy works on 0.71-12 as I tested for both individuals and groups, and it syncs with the server at once (I was checking with Telegram Desktop at the same time). Perfect! However, on changing the policy for *groups* the mute symbol will be displayed/removed just after restarting the app.

Can we request for more features? :) (1) A pully menu on the top to load more (older) messages, and (2) if the conversation view could start with the oldest unread message – currently it starts with the newest one at the bottom and you should scroll upward to start from the beginning.

By the way, there are some paddings or margins which can be removed:

  1.  On top of the conversations when the header is hidden
  2.  Between the word "message" and the horizontal line on message compose

Finally, what do you think about having Settings (and About) as an attached page to the left side of the main page?

I have discovered the mute symbol issue shortly after I have released this dev-version, I need to push more fixes in Cutegram libraries, it should be fixed for the next dev version!

About your feature requests:

  1. I have saw a function that seems to do that, but I need to test it first
  2. Yes, it'a a bit annoying, I will try to implement this request (it's not easy because the ListView component is reversed and the header is treated as footer and viceversa)

About paddings:

  1. Ok!
  2. That's the TextArea that displays two lines instead of one, I need to reduce the message bar a bit! :)

I think that move Settings in an attached page is a great idea! So I can remove that horrible push up menu :)

Hi there!!
Where can I find dev version 0.71-11???
Thanks!!

Dax's picture

Dax

Is in beta testing atm, mainly for translators.
It will be followed by another dev-version (probably today) and next week i will release it as 0.72.

However, this is the download link: http://bit.ly/1JlHaaC

As I said, this is a dev-version, compiled during developmnent, so expects bugs and undefined behaviors :)

Thanks for your efforts on the dev-version 0.71-11.

Unfortunately there are still bugs in notification management, but I don't know if the problem is related to the Cutegram or Sailorgram. Sailorgram successfuly gets the notification status (disabled/enabled) from the Telegram server and changing its status works in the app, but it doesn't update the status on the server, so on other clients you will see the previous status.

I can't see any other bugs anymore.

By the way, I have two ideas. What do you think about them:

1. Having the pully menu on the bottom of the conversation view. I think it's easier to access especially with a hidden header. However, it may look ugly with the keyboard.

2. Having the tiny clock under the compose line, just like the messages app, to see the time when typing a message.

Hi!

Currently, notification management is handled locally.
Shortly after I have released this dev-version, I have discovered two new methods in Cutegram's library that should handle notification using Telegram servers, I will make some tests and I will implement it in 0.71-12

In Cutegram's libraries there are lots of public functions, but most of them should be marked as private, so sometimes is difficult to choose the correct one :)

About your ideas:

1) Yes, it's a bit ugly, I'm thinking to remove pulldown menu completely and move its options in the attached page on the right. Another option is to display the menu on the top when the header is visible otherwise it will be displayed on the bottom. What do you think? 

2) I will make it for the next dev-version!

Thanks for the feedback, anyway!

I appreciate it :)

I love your work, Dax. :)

About (1) I prefer the idea to display options on the attached page. This will be more consistent if you want to add more options (e.g. add/edit contact, search, block) later.

Sometimes (once or twice a day) the app does not show new messages. When opening a conversation, the circle keeps spinning.

Closing and reopening the app is the solution, it seems. Is there any other solution ... apart from waiting for a new release?

Great job, by the way!

Hey Jordi! :)

I need logs so I can troubleshoot the issue.

Connection issues are related to cutegram libraries.

Dax

Thu, 2015/08/27 - 11:33

You'll need to execute sailorgram from terminal and post the log file by opening an issue GitHub or somewhere else (Info)
Currently this is the only way :(

I have decided to provide some debugging facilities built-in in the app so it is possibile to troubleshoot issues easily :)

Thanks a lot for your hard work Dax. The app works smoothly and intuitively, nice!

I do have one question however. When I want to initiate a new chat with someone and I go to Contacts to do so (via the pull-down menu), the Contact list shows up empty. I tried restarting the application and restarting the phone, but that doesn't seem to help. Is there any way I can force SailorGram to re-sync with my contacts list?

Anyway, enjoy your summer holidays first, looking forward to your reply when you are back ;)

have you tried to reinstall the app?

ThomasAH's picture

ThomasAH

Mon, 2015/08/17 - 12:41

Yup. Removed the app, removed the /home/nemo/.local/share/harbour-sailorgram folder, rebooted the phone, then reinstalled the app. Same results, empty contacts list.

Let me add some details that may help clarify the situation:

1.) It's the first time that I installed a Telegram app on my Jolla, and although I had used Telegram before on a Android phone a couple of years ago (when Telegram had just started) with the same phone number, I had to re-register and it seemed to have 'forgotten' all of my older conversations

2.) I do have people in my contact list that use Telegram, so that's not why it's showing up empty ;) Some people have started talking to me, which is good because once a conversation is started it also stays there. It's just that with an empty contact list, I can't start any new ones.

Hi ThomasAH!

Can you execute SailorGram from terminal and post here the log?

ThomasAH's picture

Wed, 2015/08/19 - 15:38

Hey Dax, thanks for your reply :)

Of course! Since the output is quite huge I used a paste service to share the logs. You can find them here: http://pastie.org/private/zochwvrvuj22xvwhz7ms5a

While I ran the program, I also switched to the Contact list, and back to the conversation list. Don't know if that would make a difference in the logs, so I did it anyway.

Hope this helps. If there is anything else I can do please let me know!

Hi there, due to my stupidity, I lost the activation code.... so now I'm stuck on 'Wait for the activation code and press 'Sign up'. If I re-install Sailorgram it just goes straight to this again, and I don't seem to be able to request a new activation code to resolve. Is there anything I can do? Tks

Hi!

You have two options: 

1) Delete the folder "harbour-sailorgram" located in /home/nemo/.local/share using a file browser.

2) In that page there is a Push Up Menu, so you can request another activation code.
