When you just want to share or view your own profile, the UX has proven
to be a bit confusing. You could try to scroll to find a previous
message of yours, or hopelessly go down the rabbithole of settings (none
of which provide a copyable user ID currently.) Lets cut down on the
slack by providing a way to instantly open your profile from anywhere.
This replaces the "Show QR Code" action because this is duplicative
within the profile itself.
Move notifications button to a more appropriate position next to username. It used to live in the room/spaces bar, which doesn't make sense context wise. Also the mobile view moves to a bottom navbar anyway.
This is just a copy-paste of the adjacent settings tool button with appropriate icon and callback.
Previously timestamps were in the right-hand side of the messages which made it very hard to relate timestamps with their corresponding messages.
Moving them right next to the name makes much better UX wise (and surprisingly didn't make the UI too crowded). I have tested this in dark light and bubbles mode, and it all looks good and comfortable to me.
I have also tweaked how the timestamps are formatted.
- For messages on the same day, it will skip the date part.
- For recent days, it uses relative timestamp (yesterday, XX:XX)
- For everything before its shows short form date and time
The tooltip now uses Long Format of Date and Time.
I did this for images a while back, but not for these. Otherwise you
can't press escape or perform other key navigation functions easily.
BUG: 515462
FIXED-IN: 25.12.2
MessageDelegate calls model.findEvent(root.eventId), which existed in
MessageFilterModel but was missing in MediaMessageFilterModel. This adds
a findEvent() implementation to MediaMessageFilterModel so the context
menu works correctly in the media scroll view.
In a future patch I want to add support for viewing banned/invited
users, and it's also been mentioned that UserListModel is quite slow
too.
The biggest cost is sorting the member list (power level and
alphabetically) and this happened in a few different ways:
* When the member list updated
* The user switches rooms
* Misc events such as the palette changing
But this was pretty inefficient, because internally Quotient::Room keeps
a list of members, and we kept re-sorting that same list. Our
connections were also too broad and despite having signals for members
joining and leaving we just reloaded the entire list anyway.
So my new solution is to keep the list persistently sorted in
NeoChatRoom, and reload that in UserListModel. This model also keeps
track of *all* members - including ones that left - which will be used
for the aforementioned feature. So UserFilterModel now filters out only
the joined members, and that will be configurable in the future.
I also added two new roles to UserListModel for membership and color
respectively (which makes some dead code useful again) and fixed us
overwriting the built-in Qt roles accidentally.
