#deltachat_desktop #deltachat


When having multiple accounts, do you want to be able to control whether they are connected to the email server in the background?

This is not about muting accounts, that will come anyway in the upcoming #deltachat_desktop 1.44 release (soon).

This is about being able to decide that (a) specific account(s) should not connect to the email server when an other account is selected.

πŸ”” The next version will also bring multi account notifications to desktop.

πŸ”• You will also be able to mute accounts so you don't need to mute all chats by hand in your casual mailing list account.

For macOS users we removed the window titlebar, inspired by a popular proprietary gaming chat app. I think it looks quite cool now πŸ˜„

#deltachat #deltachat_desktop


If you use the #flatpak version of #deltachat_desktop and it crashes πŸ’₯ when you click on notifications or unread chats -> you can disable notifications as workaround to get rid of the crashes.

We unfortunately haven't found a solution for this problem yet. 😒

Seems to be related to a libnotify portal + electron issue.

If you want to know more or know something that could help us to fix this problem, the issue is here:

Working on a more usable multi-account experience in #deltachat_desktop

In the future versions you will be able to switch between accounts more easily while staying informed about new messages from all accounts.

#deltachat


new #deltachat_desktop bug fix release is currently in the process of getting released https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/3582

I will make another post/toot when it is available everywhere.


Release progress at : https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/3566

The update is available everywhere, besides flathub which will take it bit longer. (help appreciated if you want it faster πŸ™‚: https://github.com/flathub/chat.delta.desktop/pull/123).

Do not upgrade yet if you use "mail.163.com", they implement IMAP strangely so a recent optimisation in Delta Chat broke support: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/5043

Release rollout progress: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/3176


a new minor version of #deltachat_desktop is ready for testing:
https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.34.5/

- fixes missing emojis in emoji picker on :tux: & :windows:
- make <delimited@email.addresses> really clickable
- and updated to the new 1.110 version of #deltachat_core, which brings stability and speed improvements. @r10s experienced significant faster message sending for example.

This release will rollout in the next weeks when we find no issues, please help us with testing if you can.


In the next #deltachat_desktop release you will be able to change the emoji set via a custom theme:
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/blob/master/docs/THEMES.md#guide-changing-the-emoji-font

Sure not trivial, but if you want it, there is a way now that does not require recompiling the whole app.

PS: This was a side effect of fixing a bug with the emoji picker font.


#devlog #deltachat_desktop finally gets its own window to open HTML emails!

https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/pull/3110


Context: if you follow #deltachat_desktop discussions on the #deltachat forum you might already know that we're planning to move #deltachat_desktop from #electron to #tauri in the future. But porting the desktop client is a big effort (our move to #jsonrpc was one step into this direction).
So I made this small sample project to check tauri out.
It's a nice side effect if the emoji picker is useful by itself, maybe we could even build a community for the emoji picker.

The new test version is out for testing 1.33.2, the "USP" of this version is that we fixed the bug that made #deltachat use 100% CPU. If you don't find any blockers, we'll release this version as 1.34 to the website and stores.πŸŽ‰

just added that you can see the sticker in quotes, just like we're already used too from quoting images

#deltachat_desktop


Finally working on reducing notifications on first startup

#deltachat_desktop


scrolling in #deltachat_desktop feels even faster now after switching the backend from cffi to #jsonrpc & #rust

Be ready for #deltachat desktop 1.34, It's coming soon..


In other words, the bug where desktop (test version 1.33) kept scrolling to the top of a chat is solved now thanks to @jikstra.
That was one of the blocking bugs that are delaying the desktop 1.34 release.

We’re working hard on the upcoming 1.34 desktop release.
The bulk of the work was moving all talking with core to #jsonrpc api, which speeds up development and #deltachat_desktop itself.

The move to jsonrpc is also one big step in liberating us from electron, as we plan to switch to https://tauri.app in the far future.

Stay tuned for the new test releases in the 1.33.X release row.
(even versions are releases, odd versions are test releases)

Just added some default options in the Video chat setting in iOS, #deltachat_desktop already had them for some time now.

Thanks to the providers for letting us offer them as default options.
