qTox is a chat, voice, video, and file transfer IM client using the encrypted peer-to-peer Tox protocol.

qtox_enhanced's Issues

Please release a .deb package

Please release a .deb package for Linux

Does it work well on Windows 7?

Have you tested this application in Windows 7 64-bit?

Installer and Windows XP

OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3, 32-bit.

I've researchet the latest qTox's installer. The installer has started and installed qTox Enhanced successfuly.

You can see report about installer below or do not care, if no plans to create installers without next warnings.
Functions not found: WNetRestoreConnectionA in MPR.dll (this function from OS below Windows XP). DLLs not found ieshims and wer.

Why WER.dll:

WerReportCloseHandle
WerReportSetParameter
WerReportSubmit
WerReportCreate

Why IESHIMS.dll:

IEShims_InDllMainContext
IEShims_SetRedirectRegistryForThread
IEShims_Initialize
IEShims_Uninitialize
IEShims_GetOriginatingThreadId

Both is not necessary. I suggest an attempt to close in comments these function calls.

Yeah, it's installer. There is other way - portable version.

fcitx input method not work in qtox enhanced

Brief Description

OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
qTox version: v1.17.6.026
Commit hash: built-without-git
toxcore: 0.2.18
Qt: 5.12.8
DE: GNOME 42

Reproducible: Always

Steps to reproduce

1. open the qtox enhanced
2. go to "Message"(above "Send friend request" button)
3. then type a letter with fcitx(but fcitx not working in the window)

Observed Behavior

Floating window of fcitx disappears (can display text from other programs)

Expected Behavior

Floating window of fcitx appears

Additional Info

1. Using AppImage
2. Input method:(sougoupinyin based on fcitx)
3. I don't think it's the problem of qtox , it may caused by qt window, but the old qtox versions can use fcitx input method.
   check out the following image:
   Old version:
   
   qTox enhanced:
   
   (I'm sure my fcitx input is working, and I have typed the keys to switch the input method)
   4.Finally,thank you for checking out this issue!

Reverting tasks to bring qTox in Windows XP

OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3, 32-bit

Installer works well, but qTox was not started. Windows reported about CancelIoEx. I've discovered more:
JeanPaulLucien/Windows-XP-Afterlife#4

Common problem... bcrypt.dll

BCryptCloseAlgorithmProvider
BCryptGenRandom
BCryptOpenAlgorithmProvider

There is good alternatives instead.

[Feature Request] Data Feature Obfuscation (to avoid goverment detection)

My friend and I were using old version of qtox, we experinced severe connection obstacles.
Sometimes, we need several hours to connect each other, and we are in the same city.

Now we have switched to the lastest version of this repository, for now, we are like 10 mins before connecting each other, which is super handy to daily use comparing to before, thank you for the maintainance.

Chinese goverment has a large department which is focus on analyzing various vpn(shadow socks) software.
Qtox, as the only message app that be capable of evading the supervision, is definitely in their list.

[Feature Request] Local Mode (single country mode)

The reason for this Feature Request is written in here.
#11

Though I am not a soft engineer, but I figure qtox will send request to all the root server all over the world(Please correct me if I was wrong).

And this behavior will be caught by the great fire wall of china(famous known as GFW), but GFW only detect request that toward out of china.

So I am hoping maybe qtox can choose to only connect root server which is only in one certain contry, if that country doesn't have ipv4 root server, then only connecting to local ipv6 server.

simple_make.sh does not work

bootstrap.sh is absent in a git tree

status bugged : windows release (10.0.19045)

Additional Info

I search for this part in the codebase and it's not from upstream, it was intruduced in a commit name "Video: super HQ video" in Oct 26, 2022.

For information, I built the Toxic client just before and it worked fine with the same libraries.

switched repo, because upstream link was missing

we switched repo so that we have the upstream link to https://github.com/qTox/qTox
please review if there are any things missing, or that everything is ok and has the same code and that release files match.

the previous repo is here: https://github.com/Zoxcore/qTox_enhanced__archive
