Upstream libraries repositories

emesene embeds in its codebase a number of python libraries for the different service it supports. We embed them instead of using git submodules so we can make packagers' life better and hotfix eventual bugs.

emesene's Issues

Coversation window resizing

I think that the input box must not be resized when the conversation windows is resized.

Papyon don't receive files

I get this papyon exception when i try to receive a file:

[11:47:54 ERROR papyon.msnp2p.session_manager] No handler could handle euf-guid {5D3E02AB-6190-11D3-BBBB-00C04F795683}

All contact offline

It's normal that al contacts are offline?

Emesene open Rhythmbox

When I open Emesene, Rhythmbox automatically opens too.

.config/emesene2 folders mess

Hi, I think we need a better way to handle all those folders...

I mean... I have a lot of folders inside there, one for every contact on the list of each account that have ever logged in and also a folder for each server that was used (dummy, gtalk's, messenger, facebook) with the accounts used on those servers.

I think that the best solution is:
One folder for each server
One folder for each logged account inside each server
A "contacts_cache" folder or something like that inside each logged account with all the folders created for the contact list's users

What do you think? I'm not sure yet what do I have to touch to fix that, but I'd like your feedback before doing anything...

EDIT: also, some parts of the code uses "-at-" instead of @ for logged users, what should we use? I think that @ is better

Problem with Menu: An integer is required

Display photo & nickname

Although, in your machine, your nickname, message, and pictures are shown correctly (the nick and message are correctly taken from the msn servers). Others see them wrong.
For example, my nickname is "Nick", my message is "I'm testing", and i've recently set up a new photo. Others, instead of seeing my nick see "N" (As it would have set up since the msn nickname bug of emesene 1.0); instead of my message they see a blank espace (as if i had no message) and finally they see that i have no display picture.
Note: if i change my nick, the nick is correctly seen by others,,, But if i disconnect and then connect, the nick others see isn't the correct one (the one that i've choosen in my previuos session, the one mesinyer display in my machine).

problematic nickname(s)

see link

opened conversations and disconnect

bad things happen, not so bad, but they're not nice for sure

I can't resize input box in conversation window

I can't resize input box in conversation window below 4 lines of text (with default font). I use a small text box.

emesene2 license

we must apply the header to all source files i think

also: are we going for gpl2? i'd go for 3.0 since we're no lib or whatever..

custom emoticons architecture

also xmpp supports that [1], so it may be worth implementing (porting?) this

Emesene should use local copy of papyon instead of the system wide version.

The title says it all. The local version should be preferable since it would be far newer than the system version, especially when using emesene from git.

Problem with recent file tranfer implementation.

Using papyon session. If (in emesene2) press the button to upload something to the current contact, this is what I get in the console:

Exception in thread Thread-1:

But "_ft_manager" should exist since Worker derives from papyon.Client. I am buffled. :S

Commit 7617c13d47e5 has broken the dummy session

When I use the dummy session to test emesene I get these warnings in the terminal and the main window isn't drawn correctly(just the windows decorations show up and nothing else):

remember me should remember also protocol

when we choose to remember a mail, we should add also the protocol assigned with that mail.

The problem is when a mail is multi-protocol...

I use a gmail account and a hotmail account, everytime I should change protocol...

Multiple avatar chooser window instances

When i click in my avatar in the main window a avatar choose window its open, if click again in my avatar in the main window it open another avatar choose window. Its that ok?
I have multiple instances of avatar chooser window at same time.

Poor documentation [minor issue]

Hello!, well, I decided start to help in this proyect, and I found that Emesene git needs documentation for "newbies", I think that this is a issue, because people that wants to help in the proyect will have mistakes, and the purpose of this git should be have more developers.
I decided help with the wiki for the moment, because I don't know develop under python very well, and I'll try to add documentation of the structure of the proyect (besides xmind image in mesinyer/doc).
Greetings!

PS: I'm spanish, sorry if i have mistakes in the text.

[adium themes] buddy avatar

with current theme the avatar is showed correctly near bubbles, however the css header doesn't show it.

how about fixing this so users (read: me :p) can hide the avatars on right?

[papylib] leave multichat when closing the chat tab(window)

as title says :)

Personal message "None"

Having no psm causes emesene to set it to "None" on each startup, so you have to remove it manually every time you sign in.

setup.py

we need a proper setup.py so we can start i.e. making a PPA with unstable builds from hell and gain moar attention.

contact-list's scrollbar very "slow"

As title said....

Content roaming doesn't work in papyon

I get this soap fault when papyon try to get my roaming profile:

Contact list doesn't update

When a user go offline the contact list continue showing this user as online.....
Tried with emesene1 and emesene2.

[appindicator] add contact list

i'm willing to add a contact list to emesene indicator, lemme know if you have some nice idea about this

Message received by another contact

I answered some message, but the answer is received by another contact...
I had not opened a window or tab with this other contact.

audio/video interface

webcam with papyon already works, we can start developing some backend for handling video and audio with gstreamer

note: [1] this bug needs to be fixed in order to work out of the box

Login transition

the small preference button disappearing causes a movement of the widgets when you click on connect. is this avoidable? gtk experts, it's up to YOU

emesene and groups

am i the only one that doesn't get his opened groups remembered?

Actions -> Profile -> Change Profile does nothing

what should it do?

before that submenu was for setting nick and personal message in case you hided the Account Panel, not I don't know what it should do and it doesn't work.

e3.msn, papyon, jabber, xmpp

how about (in our ugly dropdown menu :p):

[msn/wlm]
[facebook]
[gtalk]
[generic jabber/xmpp]

with good presets?

also, do we really need to keep e3.msn since we have so little manpower?

Annoyances that won't allow to use 2.0

a) No autofocus to input box in conversation window;
b) No (custom) emoticons and text formatting, at least with adium;
c) Sounds can't be turned off;
d) Notifications and sounds are displayed/played twice sometimes;
e) No shift-enter to get a newline in input box;
f) Avatar not always updated in contact list and/or user panel and/or conversation (theme).

This is not a bug report, but more like a to-do list :)

Sort Contacts issues

Emesene seems to have issues sorting offline contacts and will not order contacts into an offline group. When the status-ordered is selected and offline contacts unhidden, it puts all the contacts into one group called online, with no offline folder.

Edit: see my comment

-> send a message to emesene2, and close emesene2 conversation window (unfocused) directly

[papyon backend] nice segfault

i don't think it's papyon related, someone with l33t debugging sk1llz should take a look:

• start a papyon session
• before your display picture is showed, open a conversation with someone
• segfault

Disconects Makes Emesene unuseable

When you disconnect the emesene, the windows disappears. And if you re open it from the systray icon, a blank window appears, making it unuseable. This either happends disconnecting from "File --- Desconectar" or from the menu of the systray icon. (Note: The emesene disconnects correctly but if you want to continue using you will have to reopen it). In addition, you can't close the emesene, and the systray icon continuo existing.

I removed everything on my computer to start a fresh clone of my repo, made a rebase with emesene/emesene and tried to run emesene (without papyon).

Appindicator should be used when MessagingMenu cannot...

I have removed the indicator-message package from my machine, because I don't like the Messaging menu. Current head uses the messagingmenu, but if it isn't present(like my machine) nothing is displayed in the tray. Not the old trayicon and not the new trayicon(appindicator).

I tried to detect if messaging menu isn't available, but I failed(still a noob). So I open this bug.

avatars in contact list

avatars in contact list does not claim (allocate) their space in the contact list.

just try making a one-line or a two-line template for the contacts in contact list and the vertical size will be based on the text, it won't care about vertical avatar space so it will be cut.
