People modify animationDuration because they want a snappy client.
But it also affects a few things that do not contribute to that
and should remain constant speed:
- Busy indicator
- Progress bar animation
- Ping indicator in AddAccount ServerBrowser
- Image rotation button cooldown
- Allow using invisible mode on servers not supporting presence, to
make use of the prevention of sending typing notifications and read
marker updates
- For servers not supporting presence, display the account's presence
orb in the left pane with half opacity
- Indicate in the presence orb tooltip when the presence we set hasn't
yet been noticed by the server/the server doesn't support presence
- When reconnecting after being offline, if the server doesn't indicate
we have a status message [set from another client], restore any
previous message we had set in the current client
- Show our status message striked out when we're invisible or offline to
indicate that it isn't being broadcasted
- Some code style cleanups
- Try to handle cases where we set a presence, but receive a new
presence event for our account before the server takes notice of that
new presence we want, which probably resulted in the "account keeps
switching between online and unavailable every few sec" glitch
Rather than toggling display of the tooltip.
Since the tooltip will show up on hover too, the user might quickly
hover then click on the button only to see the tooltip immediatly
disappear.
Closing the tooltip can still be done by moving the cursor away from the
button, or tapping on it/anywhere else.
In "mobile mode" where main pane is hidden due to application's width:
- Show a back button in the tab bar of the AccountSettings and
AddChat pages
- Show a back button in the address field (opposite to the "next
button") of the ServerBrowser, unless there are no accounts added yet
(application first run) and the main pane would be empty
Downloading file messages will now show a transfer control above the
composer, similar to uploads. Measuring the progress or pausing the
operation is not possible yet.
- Remove the default Qt dragMargin: when the right pane was
hidden/collapsed in the interface, accidentally clicking on this
invisible 10 pixel-wide zone to the right edge of the window
would interfere with any button under it, e.g. the button to
expand the pane
- Fix expand pane button failing to bring back pane (due to dragMargin)
and turning the chat page header invisible
- Disable swiping to exit panes, interferes with buttons and tiles
Add visibleStart/End properties to HListView that take into account the
ListView's originX/Y, and not just contentX/Y which can be largely
offset.
Use those new properties in EventList for message focusing (fix
ctrl+up/down sometimes incorrectly focusing the message at the middle of
the screen even when we're scrolled at the bottom), and detection of
when we can update the read marker (fix cases when we're scrolled at the
bottom but the read marker never updates).
Make sure to not load tooltip images unless the user is
currently trying to see one by hovering on an avatar.
This also seems to reduce idle CPU usage.
For rich text (rendered HTML) fields and areas, the selectedText
property for some reason contains "\u2028" or "\u2029"
characters that look like newlines in Qt programs but are just
invisible anywhere else. Translate them to normal "\n".
Sometimes and randomly, a HListView/HGridView delegate's
add/populate transition will stop before completion.
This especially happens on startup when loading a large room list,
one room might get stuck and left tiny or invisible, despite its
normal space still being taken.
If a context menu is already opened for that HTile when right clicking
or using a keybind like Alt+P (openPresenceMenu), close it instead of
just creating a duplicate one.
Returning a Future doesn't work on Windows for some reason
(https://github.com/thp/pyotherside/issues/116).
Instead of using these objects from QML to cancel running coroutines,
call a Python QMLBridge function that takes a coroutine UUID and will
take care of the cancelling.
Set an explicit default left alignment for label components, to prevent
other people's right-to-left names or text from messing up the UI
in a left-to-right environment.
Make sure to update checkboxes when their default value changes
and the user hasn't already changed the value themselves.
This fixes a dangerous issue with new room switching and
room settings checkboxes keeping their value from the previous room.
