Deduplicate:
- In the REPL
- In `store_from_base64()`, which writes avatars received in headers
- In a few tests
- The saved messages, broadcast, device, archive icons
- The autocrypt setup message
1-2 more PRs, and we can get rid of `BlobObject::create`,
`sanitise_name()`, and some others
this PR removes most usages of the `descr` parameter.
- to avoid noise in different branches etc. (as annoying on similar, at
a first glance simple changes), i left the external API stable
- also, the effort to do a database migration seems to be over the top,
so the column is left and set to empty strings on future updates - maybe
we can recycle the column at some point ;)
closes#6245
This adds a function to `Message`:
```rust
pub fn new_text(text: String) -> Self {
Message {
viewtype: Viewtype::Text,
text,
..Default::default()
}
}
```
I keep expecting that a function like this must exist and being
surprised that it doesn't.
Open question is whether it should be `pub` or `pub(crate)` - I made it
`pub` for now because it may be useful for others and we currently we
aren't thinking about the Rust API that much, anyway, but I can make it
`pub(crate)`, too (then it can't be used in deltachat-jsonrpc and
deltachat-repl).
I replaced some usages of Message::new(Viewtype::Text), but not all yet,
I'm going to do this in a follow-up, which will remove another around 65
LOC.
this PR adds a function that can be used to create any QR code, in a raw
form.
this can be used to create add-contact as well as add-second-device QR
codes (eg. `dc_create_qr_svg(dc_get_securejoin_qr())`) - as well as for
other QR codes as proxies.
the disadvantage of the rich-formatted QR codes as created by
`dc_get_securejoin_qr_svg()` and `dc_backup_provider_get_qr_svg()` were:
- they do not look good and cannot interact with UI layout wise (but
also tapping eg. an address is not easily possible)
- esp. text really looks bad. even with
[some](e5dc8fe3d8)
[hacks](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/2215) it
[stays buggy](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/issues/2200);
the bugs mainly come from different SVG implementation, all need their
own quirks
- accessibility is probably bad as well
we thought that time, SVG is a great thing for QR codes, but apart from
basic geometrics, it is not.
so, we avoid text, this also means to avoid putting an avatar in the
middle of the QR code (we can put some generic symbol there, eg.
different ones for add-contact and add-second-device).
while this looks like a degradation, also other messengers use more raw
QR codes. also, we removed many data from the QR code anyway, eg. the
email address is no longer there. that time, sharing QR images was more
a thing, meanwhile we have invite links, that are much better for that
purpose.
in theory, we could also leave the SVG path completely and go for PNG -
which we did not that time as PNG and text looks bad, as the system font
is not easily usable :) but going for PNG would add further challenges
as passing binary data around, and also UI-implemtation-wise, that would
be a larger step. so, let's stay with SVG in a form we know is
compatible.
the old QR code functions are deprecated.
This change introduces new config options
`proxy_enabled` and `proxy_url`
that replace `socks5_*`.
Tested with deltachat-repl
by starting it with
`cargo run --locked -p deltachat-repl -- deltachat-db` and running
```
> set proxy_enabled 1
> set proxy_url ss://...
> setqr dcaccount:https://chatmail.example.org/new
> configure
```
- the `jobs` table is no longer in use,
no need to track files on housekeeping,
no need to clear it from repl tool
- some `Params` were used for jobs table only,
they can be used freely for other purposes on other tables.
param 'protection settings timestamp' was never used in practise,
its code is removed as well, so we can free the Param as well.
Restart the IO scheduler if needed to make the new config value effective (for `MvboxMove,
OnlyFetchMvbox, SentboxWatch` currently). Also add `set_config_internal()` which doesn't affect
running the IO scheduler. The reason is that `Scheduler::start()` itself calls `set_config()`,
although not for the mentioned keys, but still, and also Rust complains about recursive async calls.
Such a message may be assigned to a wrong chat (e.g. undecipherable group msgs often get assigned to
the 1:1 chat with the sender). Add `DownloadState::Undecipherable` so that messages referencing
undecipherable ones don't go to that wrong chat too. Also do not reply to not fully downloaded
messages. Before `Message.error` was checked for that purpose, but a message can be error for many
reasons.
Message.set_text() and Message.get_text() are modified accordingly
to accept String and return String.
Messages which previously contained None text
are now represented as messages with empty text.
Use Message.set_text("".to_string())
instead of Message.set_text(None).
This further reduces the cognitive overload of having many ways to do
something. The same is very easily done using composition. Followup
from 82ace72527.
This also removes BackupProvider::join in favour of implementing
Future directly. I wondered about implementing a FusedFutre to make
this a little safer but it would introduce a dependency on the futures
crate in deltachat-ffi which did not exist yet, so I didn't do that.
get_chat_msgs() function is split into new get_chat_msgs() without flags
and get_chat_msgs_ex() which accepts booleans instead of bitflags.
FFI call dc_get_chat_msgs() is still using bitflags for compatibility.
JSON-RPC calls get_message_ids() and get_message_list_items()
accept booleans instead of bitflags now.
