Expanding this into a real TODO list. text-ui would need to act as an observer on all file transfers. It can then show transfers, act also as an approver and show a completion when done. One hard is part is implementing this with the themes.. which is always difficult. Need FT to work 100% first. Tasks: - decide how this would work in terms of themes - make the the text-ui client registrar take two channels and match targetContacts to the relevant window. For now acting as an additional approver. An observer has access to the ChannelDispatchOperationPtr so it should be a copy and paste job. Hard part is making the UI from telepathy-chat-ui to ChatWidget not really messy. - we also need to remove the current horrible file transfer tracking code that is used for drag & drop. It clutters ChatWidget..removing temp files does not belong here.
Dear user, unfortunately Telepathy is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
