Not all events that are processed in this model belong to the room, e.g.
searching through multiple room versions. Now the model finds the
correct room based on the reported room in the event.
This fixes searching through upgraded rooms, and unblocks searching
through multiple rooms in the future.
Having both the member list and permission controls is troublesome, and
scales the larger your moderation team is. We eventually may want to
manage banned/muted users too so I think it warrants having a new page.
I also moved the search field to the top so it's more accessible.
As for permissions, I tried to improve the UX generally while not
changing it too heavily. First the easy change is to the text, hopefully
the sections should be clearer (especially for "state" events.) The
bigger change here is the new sections, I tried to make it more useful
and organized. Additionally, I added more permissions like sharing live
locations and polls so they're more easily configurable.
One other change is that permissions are visible regardless of whether
you can set them or not, matching Element's behavior.
We were previously assuming that we always want to parent these menus to
RoomPage, but that only exists on the main window. If you tried to open
the menu for say - the search window - then it would confusingly still
open on the main menu.
Thankfully the way to fix this is simple, by passing a parent QtObject
around.
These are more common than we thought, good examples are pinned or
searched messages - which are not going to be in the room's history
unless you happen to have them loaded. But currently our message menu
infrastructure expects them to be, since its looked up by the room +
event ID.
To fix this is simple, we now move the job of finding the event to the
caller which may use a model instead. I didn't fix all existing
call-sites yet, mainly the message menu opening one since that was the
most obvious bug. But this opens up the door for other assumptions about
room history to be fixed too.
I had to do a bit of C++ re-jiggering in order to expose useful
functions to QML.
This is that bug that causes reply colors to be white, and this error to
print in the log:
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/neochat/messagecontent/ReplyComponent.qml:41: TypeError: Cannot read property 'color' of null
The reason why this happens is inside of EventMessageContentModel, it
needs to be able to find the relevant event in the room to fetch the
room member (and then their color.) Dependent on many variables to
align, this can happen easily if you are faster than your server giving
you said events.
But this is an easy fix, we obviously get the event afterwards and just
need to re-evaluate the the author property. I also made sure it falls
back to some color instead of white, which will also quiet the error.
You were previously relegated to looking at any avatars or a buggy
tooltip, but suffer no longer! If you tap on a message's read marker, a
dialog will pop up listing the users who have read it.
Uou can also view their profiles from here, etc.
`decryptMessage` returns null if it fails to decode the passed message. This value
then got fed into `EventHandler::richBody` which logged a warning and cleared `m_pinnedMessage`.
If we instead retain the value as an `EncryptedEvent`, the UI will pin the encrypted event
placeholder instead of hiding the existence of pins.
`room()->decryptMessage()` returns null if the message fails to decode. Since elements of `m_pinnedEvents`
get directly dereferenced in getEventForIndex, storing null values leads to a segfault.
In this case we should retain the EncryptedEvent to let the UI report the error.
I added a separator, made it so the "Copy Room ID to clipboard" button
is always shown, and made it more obvious that "Upgrade Room" prompts
you first.
This is a common feature in other chat applications (like Discord) as a
way to keep track of important information. While there isn't a standard
API for this, we can use account data to store notes.
This can happen if the user doesn't have an avatar set, as there's an
assert check inside of makeMediaUrl. We can avoid this by checking if
the string is empty before calling that.
The favorites action doesn't really deserve space here IMO, and that's a
pretty list-specific action you're more likely to do elsewhere.
For the Pinned Messages action that can be opened at the top on desktop,
but we still need it on mobile. So now it's selectively hidden based on
that.
Changed a check to use isDirectChat (which is a clearer indication of
what we want.) I also made sure not to show the account name if you only
have one, since that's just useless noise.
Since Matrix allows users to have different profiles on a room and
"outside of room" level, it's nice to have the ability to switch between
them on-the-fly.
If a setCurrentRoom call changed the active space at the end of its execution, the new room's ID ended up still being written to the old space's lastRoomConfig.
By extracting this space selection logic into a helper function, we can now calculate this value earlier and use it as the space id when writing lastRoomConfig.
- Open the menu right beneath the button
- Use pressed state for the button while the menu is open
- Close the menu when clicking the button again
- Hide the tooltip while the menu is open
