Shouldnt

script:
  - cd build/debug
  - cmake -j2 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../..
  - cd ../release
  - cmake -j2 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..

include --build so Travis actually builds the project?

• A new release branch will be created
• With every new commit, it'll build, create packages and upload them to the releases page
• This could be done via a deploy github action
• A later improvement could be integrating with snap store

hi! found another odd behaviour:
if i copy or take a screenshot to my clipboard and try to paste it into a chat, it wont let me, also the attach image button wont work (i guess these are related)

keep up the good work! i will report everything i find!

Make it available only a single string and propagate to related files.

This might be achieved via changing the body class name to web dark with run_javascript function of web view. However, it needs to be tested to make sure.

Hey there,

My question is: could the main README be extended to a short "how to use this on the desktop"?

This may sound like a stupid question :) - however had, I have no smartphone/mobile, yet lots of
people nearby use whatsapp on their smartphone. So to me, it would really be useful to know how to use this, in order to then communicate with them if that is even possible (for example, right now I really don't know if it is possible or not; I read in the past that it is not possible so perhaps my knowledge is obsolete. Hope I could explain this strange issue request.)

Anyway please feel free to ignore this if it seems too much effort for too little gain. Thanks for reading!

Manjaro
Changed my plasma style and now I can't start whatsapp up. Tried in console and it outputs Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk-module"

Can you implement tray icon for this app. Excellent work!!!...

support for paste images from clipboard

Whatsapp implemented an option in their web app that allows you to switch to dark mode. The whatsapp-for-linux dark mode is not needed anymore.

• Since we want to keep the pkgname whatsapp-for-linux, it's better to serve it statically.
• Currently, I don't know how to do that properly...

The app crashes with segmentation fault when trying to download a file. Either from personal chat or group chat.
I'm using Gnome 3.36.4 in ArchLinux_x86-64 with kernel 5.4.51-1-lts. The whatsapp-for-linux version is 1.0.7-1.

Any more logs that you need, just ask.

ive seen the notification on this issue the first time i run the app... i love it BTW.

Im using arch kde plasma
will this issue be fixed?
i could find this one, cant paste image, and it reports as macos
thanks!

an options to minimize to tray instead of closing application would be nice.
distro: manjaro-cinnamon.

In an attempt to support accessibility, may we propose font size options. The feature would be to allow end-users to increase of decrease text size, without heavily disrupting the design.

Alternatively, the limitation of zooming in and out with Ctrl and + could be lifted instead. Acting like a normal web browser when you want to zoom in/out.

The XDG Base Directory Specification says configuration files should be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/whatsapp-for-linux (defaults to ~/.config/whatsapp-for-linux. Currently settings.ini is created in the working directory, which is $HOME when running through an application chooser.

I tried opening some videos sent by a friend (mp4 format). By default, the app tries to play them, but it fails ("impossible to play the video", though I think I also got a message "file type not supported" at some point), and it doesn't give any download option.

Unfortunately I got this as the first impression when opening the app, but it does look great!

The reload button in the header is missing the reload icon, and shortcuts in the right-hand side menu are not working.

Version info:
whatsapp-for-linux - 1.0.9
Ubuntu 16.04 Unity Desktop
Installed using snap

Thanks for the nice application :)

I found about this project on the AUR but it is out of date, It would be easier for the project owner to maintain the package up to date there.

It says that this browser doesn't support voice messages. Is it a bug?

on Arch linux it is giving following error while starting , though application is working without problem.

following is the error output :

** (whatsapp-for-linux:63599): WARNING **: 15:25:49.272: Error loading plugin: /usr/lib/enchant-2/enchant_nuspell.so: undefined symbol: _ZN7nuspell2v36Finder25search_all_dirs_for_dictsEv

Settings: Key file does not have key “allow_permissions” in group “Network”

I'm not sure whether this is intended but whenever I alt+tab the title bar would hide/show. it throw me off because at times the title bar would be there, then when I alt+tab again it would gone. I see in #52 this feature is intended to hide/show title bar but not sure if it's intended to hide/show it when alt+tabbing.

I prefer my windows to have no title bar, and the default GTK one doesn't match the rest of my windows. If possible, I'd like a setting to toggle the window decorations to the desktop default. For accessing the options, perhaps pressing alt would work?

I find it kind of annoying after a wile, could you implement an option to hide it under the view menu???

Your version of Whatsapp is just awesome. It would be nice if you could add a keyboard shortcut which would open a menu which will help you to search through all the chats available. Yeah I know that there is a search option available but a keyboard shortcut to open that would be nice so that I don't have to use my mouse to click on the search bar.

I would like something like what discord has. Where you press Ctrl + K (or even Ctrl + F) and the menu opens, then you just type the name and then press enter to open the chat. This would make the it more keyboard-centric and hence more faster to use.

I'm getting the error message TLS/SSL support not available; install glib-networking After install whatsapp for linux in my fedora 31, even though I have already installed glib-networking-2.62.4-1

• Running the application after building with snapcraft gives a Gtk::BuilderError with the latest version (1.0.10).
• Might be related to gtk version in ubuntu 18. We can try core20 when the gnome-extension is ready. But for now, this needs a solution.

Once I logged into the client, Whatsapp on my phone notified me that I logged in through MacOS. But I am on Ubuntu 20.04. Is this a known issue, or related to something else that user can fix themselves?

Most if not all distributions will require the UI files to be in /usr/share/whatsapp-for-linux/ui or similar, not in /usr/bin. To support this there should be some way of specifying this path at compile time.

Alternatively, look at embedding the UI files as resources in the executable itself. This will be more convenient for distribution but requires a recompile when the UI files change. https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ch01s04.html has some examples of how to compile them, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60517842/generate-then-use-source-file-using-cmake-in-clion has an example of a CMake command for compiling the resources.
