Questions + requests

Asked by Imp

1. I've read that you plan to add encryption in a future version. Do you already know, which encryption system will be used? Some users have suggested OTR and I think personally can only agree, because there is no better method at the moment to encrypt IM messages. Important would be the compatibility to other messenger programs, but I think, if you keep the standards, there should be no problem.

2. File transfer is one of the more important things, that I am missing at the moment. As I've read, you will implement it in a future version. I think it should be possible to drag and drop files and there should exist an entry in the context menu by right click on a user, where you are able to select a file from a file browser. But in both cases, there should also appear a send dialog, where you would have to confirm the sending process.

3. It would be great, if you could implement an option, that the whole jabber account will be removed from a server (addition to the delete option).
Here are a few information and a command for manual deleting:

I think it shouldn't be that difficult to implement it by just automating the command as a script.

4. At the moment it is not possible to reach the account profile to write any information about yourself or to upload an avatar. Are you going to implement such abilities? I think so.
Are there any ways to do it temporarily manually by any commands in the console?

5. An icon for the xmmp4moz add-on for the window of add-ons would be nice. You could simply use the green sphere on the main website for it.

The subject is in flux. See https://stpeter.im/?p=2214. When I get around to do it, I'll just try to pick the most reasonable option available.

> File transfer

This is a priority, I agree.

Thanks for your answer!

Will this require any external software/files or will all this be built in? I personally would prefer a built in method.

Imp,

I prefer the "batteries included" approach. As far as possible, even if there will be non-extension components, I'll do my best to ship them with the extension.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Imp for more information if necessary.
