This MR deals with only sending threaded messages. Showing threads will turn up in a follow up. This allows you to start a new thread by clicking reply in thread to a normal message.
You can also do a threaded reply to a threaded message in the main timeline at the moment because those messages aren't shown in a separate thread timeline yet but will be in future.
This function will automatically create a "neochatstarerc" for us, and
KConfig will decide the best place for us to place our state. It won't
always be in AppDataLocation.
Move the functionality to cache the contents of a chat bar from the room directly and to a new ChatCache object. This works pretty much the same with a few extra check and balances, this also made it easy to put a test suite around the functionality so I did. The current functionality should be identical to what exists.
This is in prep for threads which will require managing even more caches if we create one per thread.
- Don't show a dot over profile pictures.
The dot was intended to be part of the Avatar when there is no image and the Avatar is too small to show an icon.
Currently, it is visible over the profile picture. If we still want the dot, it should be upstreamed
- Fix avatar images in StateComponent
So the original space parent and child stuff was technically a bit naughty in that it allowed multiple rooms to be set as the canonical parent. Because while a room can have multiple parents only one should be canonical. This adds the following:
- When adding a child or parent there is an extra check to select if the new parent should be canonical
- Any parent can be selected as the canonical one from the room settings
- All functions ensure that there is only ever one canonical parent by ensuring all others are false when a new one is set.
This is an update to searching the public room list. Currently if you can't find the room you're looking for you can type a full alias of room ID into the search bar and a view/join button appears. This is hard to discover and technically broken since it was turned into a generic component for finding rooms (it kinda works but doesn't fit now as it's focussed on the joining rooms not adding new ones to spaces). It is also not very discoverable if you don't know it's there.
This patch patch updates the workflow to be truly generic and hopefully more discoverable. Instead of using the search bar if no results are found a button asking if someone wants to manually enter a room ID or alias appears. This launches a dialog where the user can type in an alias or ID and it has some basic checking to make sure the string looks as expected.
The new functionality also generically works for joining rooms and adding children to spaces.
