We now use a binary serialized format to save space and allow clean encryption of the user settings.
All the settings can (and should) be edited from the GUI so there is no loss of functionnality.
It can still read the old .ini format, and will seamlessly upgrade to the new format.
Fixes#1810
The qTox Project is not associated with the Tox Project in any way, with the
exception of "qTox" using the Tox Projet's "toxcore" collection of libraries.
In particular, the Tox Projet does not own copyright over the qTox Project's
"qTox" collection of software, source code, and assets.
The qTox Project's assets are under the sole copyright of the qTox
contributors, and no partiular rights are granted to the Tox Project.
If there are permission errors (e.g. root owns the shared memory), this would spam the log with hundreds of messages/s. isCurrentOwner still warns a couple of times if we fail to lock, so this message isn't necessary
If we're going to convert between pixel formats with sws_scale, we might as well do the rescaling in the same step.
Giving a potentially hueg fram to Qt and having it rescale in a separate step is wasted cycles.
We can now get the list of video devices with the dshow ffmpeg device
(so, on Windows). Most of this patch is adapted from libavdevice's dshow
private internal interface, which retrieves useful info but is only
designed to log it to stdout. We reimplement that to get an actual list
of devices names/descriptions, that we can then open with ffmpeg the
refular way.
Plenty of people voiced their opinion that everything after '>' should be a
quote. Trying to conform to anything other brings only chaos and makes
situation worse, since it is impossible to catch every exception.
There are already plenty of cases where regexp simply can't work with unicode.
In the future, qTox should have easy to use r-click options for 'Paste text as
a quote' and 'Copy as a quote', which makes it a must to have quote detection
as simple as possible, to avoid situation where user wants to paste something
as a quote, and suddenly it doesn't seem to work.
Fixes#1059#1099#1173
Continuation of #1332
* Allow quoting in action messages if line number is >1.
* Fix regression introduced by 1244d689f6 where
'\n' was being trimmed in action messages.
* Add comment about typing notifications placeholder that needs to be fixed.
Quoting with action messages produces badly looking messages,
where nick is blue coloured, while rest of text that is preceded
by '> ' is green. To avoid that, quoting should not be triggered
in action messages.
Since consistency in code is most important, 'ToxId' is used
for code, whereas 'Tox ID' anywhere outside of code.
Also fixed wrong comments in core.h:
* qTox gets only public key of a grouchat peer, not their
Tox ID
* qTox tries to return full address (Tox ID) or public key

They were suffering from double-connection syndrom, and the way muting worked was now conflicting with how the output sound level setting works
Fixes#1442
By reducing the maximum interval between two tox_iterate calls during file transfers to 10ms. This results in reasonnable amounts of extra CPU% used. If the only file transfers are avatars, CoreFile allows sleeping for up to 50ms. If there are currently no FT, up to 1000ms.
We now take the minimum sleeping interval asked by toxcore, toxav, and CoreFile
Redesign draft for settings pane and proper UX for Mac
This pull request is capable of:
Repairing settings UX on Mac (#1594)
Turning scroll areas in settings panes to vertical scrolling only
Proposing a redesign of settings pane (#1069)
Load the setting's cameria preview opengl context lazily and destroy it when done. Only preallocte Core's video buffer if we have any calls active, free up when all calls are done
Toxcore would incorrectly report the call as a video call in the call settings, and then crash while trying to send a video frame in the audio call. We workaround that by using another API that correctly reports the type of the call
When you clicked, and then move towards top-left with the cursor,
and release, the handles were displayed inside the resulting rectangle,
instead of outside.
When the user just clicks somewhere, and thus rejects the selection due
to the previous commit, show the initial 'nothing selected' helper
tooltip again.
The menu is now collapsed in the background half a second after
the user clicked on the screenshot button. This is to let the WM have
some time to open the fullscreen window, which itself is now shown
immediately.
If this doesn't help we'll need to split the screen capture display
into tiles and display those instead, allowing Qt to only draw
a few of them instead of everything.
After clicking the "Screenshot" button in the file flyout, the flyout
now collapses and then triggers the screenshot functionality. This adds
a delay of ca. 1/3 seconds between the click and the action.
When hovering over the "attach file" button in the chat form, an
additional button for the screenshot functionality will 'fly out'
to the left, showing a computer monitor as icon. Leaving the attach
file or the take screenshot button will collapse the fly out again.
Bug: Moving the mouse over the fly out and then back again to the
attach button collapses the fly out. Will sort this out later.
Also used the opportunity to rename headers from hpp -> h extension
I added earlier.
I've moved the key bindings in the main widget instead of the chat form given it
doesn't seem to be the chat form's responsibility to handle switching between
conversations it shouldn't know about in the first place. I've also included new
shortcuts to provide a more familiar feel to most people.
All in all this provides Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab for cycling as well as
Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown for cycling. This mimics common application behaviour.
In Qt chat boxes filter out events related to text editing, including tabs.
Unfortunately tabs with modifiers like those used to cycle through contacts are
being filtered despite not being used for anything.
This fixes the keybind for cycling forward through contacts (Ctrl+Tab).
I've implemented this by having the contacts list container return all contact
widgets in the order they appear each time it's time to cycle. It's perhaps
inefficient but given cycling isn't done often I don't see a need to optimize.
This code does make the assumption that the friends list isn't empty, which I'd
guess would be the case if there's an active conversation.
New friends must be added to the friend list before loading history, otherwise the history code won't find the friend in the friendlist, and the history will have blank names for the friend
askProfiles is a really dangerous function. Awful things happen when the user closes that message box. We now prevent it from being closed in more places
There are small instants on startup and while profile switching during which no profile is loaded but the GUI could still receive events, e.g. between two modal windows. Disable the GUI to prevent that.
Don't just let the user close the profile select box and continue with an empty value. We would create a new profile and save it back on top of the previous encrypted profile
- Add AvatarBroadcaster, in charge of making sure our friends have our avatar without spamming file transfers
- Fix file sending code not closing the file after transfer, which prevented file previews, and make the QFile a shared_ptr to fix the obvious memory leak
Some small additions to Core to support AvatarBroadcaster
1) action received gets modified on restart
2) sender's name is written twice if action is sent using offline messaging
3) /me is written when action is sent in groupchat having one peer
4) /me is not saved in last message variable in friendd chat
This fixes the potential edge case where a frozen then unfrozen qTox instance could have its locks delete by a new qTox instance.
We now check that we still own our locks, restoring them if we can, before saving
Starting a new instance with the -p option will force it to start a new instance with the given profile instead of bringing an eventual existing instance to the foreground
Two instances can not run with the same profiles, the profile locking code will ensure that. A user who likes to live dangerously could manually delete the lock to force two instances on the same profile, but such an hypothetical user would be asking for it.
If a qTox instance starts and becomes owner of the IPC shared memory on its first try, it considers itself the only running freshly-started instance, and deletes any possibly stale lock before starting up. This should be fine in the vast majority of cases, but if an existing qTox instance freezes for a long enough time to lose ownership of the IPC and a new instance is started without first killing the frozen one, the frozen instance's lock will be deleted as stale by the new one. If the frozen instance subsequentely unfreezes, it will be running on a profile for which it doesn't have a lock, which could cause trouble. This is an intentionaly allowed edge case, the alternative being a stale lock staying forever until removed manually. A potential solution not yet implemented would be to check that the lock is still actually present before attempting any write.
If we're running on a given profile, reload the qtox.ini, and it has a diffeent value for the current profile, we don't overwrite our current value with whatever qtox.ini says anymore
It would cause current profile confusions when multiple qTox instances where using different instances but sharing the qtox.ini
It would only trigger when multiple instances where running in parallel,
with one having enough privilege to block the other from accessing the shared memory (e.g. root)
We returned a shallow copy of the delete[]'d salt buffer
As a result the history consistently failed to decrypt and was removed as corrupted. This is now fixed.
Profile encryption should be fairly stable. History encryption was *NOT* tested yet and as such may not work, cause profile corruption, or invoke nasal daemons.
