Maintain in-progress messages in side-stage mode as well
Created by: myii
As discussed in the UBports Core App Developers
Matrix group:
myii 10:53 Maybe asking too much here but throwing it out there. When messaging apps are side-staged(?), if you start typing a message and then switch to another chat by mistake, you've lost the message that you've started. 10:56 I'm probably too spoilt by how modern browsers behave but it would be nice to be able to switch back and find that your work-in-progress message is still there.
Krille 11:07 In the messages app? 11:07 There is already an issue for this 11:08 Maybe at the weekend I can try to implement this using qt.labs.settings
myii 11:47 Actually all of the apps I have tried so far that have side-staging. So the core text messaging app, the original Telegram app, FluffyChat, etc.
Krille 11:48 FluffyChat has this feature already
myii 12:06 I'm using FC in side-stage on my device and it's not working. Maybe because my device is not supposed to do side-staging (N5, landscape with big change to default scaling)?
Krille 12:08 okay, maybe I havent tried this feature in side stage, this shouldnt affect this 12:08 could you write an issue?
myii 12:27 OK, when I get a moment. 12:28 Started here because it affects the core messaging app. 13:14 I can confirm that it works fine in normal mode for FC. When you reopen the chat, the text is still there. Maybe it gets cleared when opening another chat in between... 13:16 Actually, FC works perfectly in normal mode. Even if you have multiple chats with different messages started, if you switch between chats, everything is still there. So definitely a side-stage issue.
Krille 13:17 should be easy to fix :) maybe you shouldnt scale your nexus 5 down to 10% so you can use the normal mode :P
myii 13:17 Ah, FC is better than the core messaging app! That never saves your messages in progress.
Krille 13:18 Hm, I think I will first implement a better portable solution for the messaging app and then implement this in FluffyChat too. Maybe Telegram and Signal could also get use of it 13:18 *Teleports
myii 13:19 Teleports doesn't currently have side-stage.
