Ferdium Version

What Operating System are you using?

Other Linux

Operating System Version

Linux 5.17.5-arch1-1 (Arch rolling release), Gnome 42.1

What arch are you using?

Last Known Working Ferdium version

n/a

Expected Behavior

When having the Ferfium icon in the tray, locking the screen and ulocking the screen again there should still be one Ferdium icon in the tray.

Actual Behavior

Each time when the screen is locked/unlocked, a new Ferdium tray icon appears. If the previous one had a dot to signal a notification, it will remain there, even when the notification is read. The new tray icon seems to update just fine, the old one remains as is. Doing another lock/unlock cycle creates a new tray icon.

Only way to get rid of all tray icons, is to fully close Ferdium and re-open it. At that point, there will be one tray icon.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Ferdium
2. Tray icon appears as usual
3. Lock yout Gnome session
4. Unlock the Gnome session
5. A second tray icon appears
6. Lock your Gnome session again
7. Unlock your Gnome session again
8. A third tray icon appears
9. Close Ferdium fully to get rid of all tray icons

Comment=Ferdium is your messaging app / former heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary and combines chat & messaging services into one application.
Ferdium currently supports Slack, WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Google Hangouts, GroupMe, Skype and many more.
You can download Ferdium for free for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
For enabling webcam access you need to connect "camera" plug to snap, and for microphone with PulseAudio - "pulseaudio" plug.
This can be done in Snap GUI or via command: `snap connect ferdium:camera; snap connect ferdium:pulseaudio`.

This is not allowed, and happened after #98

Actual Behavior

This should be a single line.

Expected Behavior

Ferdium services should have access to webcam.

Actual Behavior

All services says that there is no webcams detected.

Same problem is with microphones, but this can be fixed via snap connect ferdium:pulseaudio command (can we make this access granted by default?).

But for webcam there is no ways to give that access, seems because of missing camera plug interface in Snap package declaration:

$ snap connect ferdium:camera
error: snap "ferdium" has no plug named "camera"

Steps to reproduce

In the list of snap plugs the camera plug is missing:

• I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Currently, since we forked from ferdi, the code only supports 4 "servers" for non-accountless usage:

1. Franz hosted
2. Ferdi hosted
3. Ferdi self-hosted
4. Local

Since we would like our users to not have to deal with the ongoing drama about the hosted server being taken down, we need to give a solution for the same.

Proposed Solution

The proposal is to add another server (Ferdium hosted) into the above chain. The user is then free to choose whichever server they want to use - assuming that they do not want the accountless option.

Alternatives Considered

Pre-existing servers - but, the user is at the mercy of whoever controls that server's up/down status.

Problem Description

I have one of those gamer mouse that has 2 extra buttons at the side, where one goes forward in history and the other goes backwards, but in ferdium those buttons are detected by the UI, so when I try to go backwards on reddit it shows the previous ferdium menu screen.

Proposed Solution

Redirect the mouse buttons 4 & 5 to the webapp instead of ferdium UI.

Alternatives Considered

I've seen that there is options to use ctrl+arrow to go back and forth, and there is also the right click menu, but I'm already hard wired to just click the mouse button to go back right away. I can survive with that at least.

Proposed Solution

Add:

Add only the shortcut and add the split action under the View menu.

Expected Behavior

If split view mode is set to 2+ columns, Todoist (added as a service) behaves in a similar fashion to all other services and becomes a column.

Actual Behavior

Todoist presents as a single column and ignores the split view mode setting. I assume this is because Todoist is now linked to Ctrl + T as the default to-do provider Ferdium (or at least it is on my system), but ideally, this behaviour is corrected.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable split view mode and set it to >=2 columns
2. Add Todoist as a specific service
3. Click on Todoist in the menu bar - it will display as a singular column

Problem Description

Now when creating a new bug report, users must fill manually the Ferdium version, operating system, architecture, etc, that's too annoying.

Proposed Solution

Good solution can be automate gathering this info in the app and copy it to clipboard, to easy paste it to the issue. And replace several separate fields in the bug filling form to the one textarea to paste the text.

For example, in "Help" menu we can create an item "Copy system information to clipboard" that will do the thing.

Alternatives Considered

Alternatively (or additionally) we can add "Copy system information" to the "About" window.

Expected Behavior

When a new Ferdium version is downloaded and started up, it should check the bundled versions of the service recipes within itself with what's on the user's machine in the profile folder. If any of the service recipes are outdated, Ferdium should prompt with a blue ribbon on the bottom of the screen - to ask the user to restart Ferdium. In the background, the older versions of the recipes should have been overwritten with the newer versions from inside the dmg file.

Actual Behavior

The user is not prompted, and the older version of the recipe continues to be present in the profile folder.

Steps to reproduce

1. Manually update a recipe in the source code
2. Bundle up Ferdium using the scripts folder script
3. close existing ferdium
4. open the newly built one for the same pre-existing profile
5. See that there's no prompt to the user

Problem Description

I have many added services and to open needed one I need to scroll vertically the list of services in left sidebar very often. But in the interface I see that the "Add new service" and "Open workspace drawer" buttons eats useful space, and I use them very-very rarely. "Disable notifications" button is used not so often too.

Proposed Solution

Add the option to hide the "Add new service" and "Open workspace drawer", "Disable notifications" buttons from the left panel, to free up the space for Services icons.

Alternatives Considered

Alternatively all those buttons, including the "Settings", can be hided via creating a single Hamburger menu button.

With the merge of PR #2 , we now have a kind of broken system. Pre-existing users of Ferdi would have had their profiles in different location (for eg, in macos, the ferdi profile folder is: ~/Library/Application Support/Ferdi. With the new name, it will be ~/Library/Application Support/Ferdium. We might need to either have a page documenting how pre-existing users can move over without losing any data (just needs renaming of this folder) or provide an automated way to move them over. Just logging this bug ticket so that someone can take this up prior to our releasing any versions.

Problem Description

Now, when Ferdium servers goes offline, users can't use the Ferdium at all - they see only "Could not load services and user information" error and that's all! No ways to skip cloud sync and reuse cached copy of services offline.

Same problem is when I want to lookup something on services (that supports offline mode) when I'm offline.

Proposed Solution

We can implement locally running API server (or simply store settings in local json file), with periodical (or event based - when user change some settings) sync to the server.

Additionally, this refactoring should give the ability to migrate from one account on API server to another, and even between different API servers, with keeping all sessions in Services as logged in!

Even more, we will can implement syncing own settings to several servers, or reuse Dropbox or Google Drive to store your settings in the cloud and sync between computers.

Alternatively we can cache settings file locally and use it while server is not available, but this way gives much less benefits.

Problem Description

As different services "grab" keyboard shortcuts, it gets a but painful to have to remember which shortcuts work in which service. For eg, Discord grabs the Cmd + S (QuickSwitch) and so within Discord, QuickSwitch doesn't work.

Proposed Solution

It would be a good idea to allow Ferdium's users to be able to override their own shortcuts.

Problem Description

There were several apps that can aggregate cloud music providers and provide a unified interface for control music playing status in all of them:

• https://gitlab.com/ColinDuquesnoy/MellowPlayer
• https://nuvola.tiliado.eu/
• https://getharmony.xyz/
• https://www.pimusicbox.com/
• https://tizonia.org/

But last years development of all of them is stopped or paused, so now world seems doesn't have any such application to listen music from several cloud providers with unified interface.

Proposed Solution

Ferdium already has a great UI to manage multiple web services, flexible recipes API, workflow to install and configure services, settings syncs and many other parts, that suit for managing cloud music providers too!

To add minimal support for cloud music providers to Ferdium seems we don't need so much: all that we need at minimum - is to add "Play / Pause / Stop / Next / Previous" bundle of buttons to somewhere interface (with binding to global keyboard shortcuts), and pass those events to selected cloud provider. And via next unhurried steps - add displaying now playing song title, scrubbling to Last.fm, etc.

So maybe we can consider that extending of Ferdium to cloud music players word? Or maybe start a separate project like Ferdium-Music with such functionality, with reusing and sharing most of the Ferdium code and infrastructure parts?

What do you think about this idea?

Alternatives Considered

Alternatively we can start a new separate project from the scratch, but reusing Ferdi as base for such music player, I think, makes the first steps much easier!

Expected Behavior

When using a custom server, login and signup from the app should work even if the server URL is terminated with a "/" character.

Actual Behavior

When the custom server URL is terminated by a "/" (e.g. "https://ferdium.some.site/") neither login nor signup work from the desktop app. No error is displayed, but clicking on the "Sign in" or "Create account" buttons does nothing.

Removing the trailing "/" from the URL (e.g. "https://ferdium.some.site") makes login and signup work again.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open ferdium app
2. Go to "Change server"
3. In "Server" dropdown, choose "Custom"
4. In "Custom server" enter the URL of a working ferdium-server instance with a trailing /
5. Click "Submit" button
6. Click "Login to your account"
7. Enter credentials and click "Sign in" button
8. Nothing happens
9. Repeat the steps above to remove the trailing / from the server URL and try to log in
10. Login now works

Additional information

My guess is the app uses string concatenation to create the login URL, and when the custom server URL has a trailing / the resulting login URL has a double // somewhere.

Problem Description

Just an idea, icons are generally too bright and get in the way visually at present. Having such different and varying colors often deters from the user interface and thus reducing focus on services.

Moving these into the visual background by making them less eye drawing subdued greyscale would create UI consistence, appeal and less eye / focus strain. Example:

Proposed Solution

A couple of options might be possible:

1. implement a function to desaturate and increase contrast of icons to greyscale and then dim them so they're not pure white, but are a grey.
2. allow/facilitate alternate icon sets to be provided during service/recipe definition. Basically each service could have different theme options and thus provide their own "dark" or muted appearance for improve appeal when desired.

Your issue

First of all, thank you for the huge effort to make this project happen after Ferdi has ended operations.

Shortcuts to change the selected service was a good feature in Ferdi that Ferdium is missing.

These are the main shortcuts that I would love to see in Ferdium land.

• Ctrl+Tab to move forward to the next service
• Ctrl+Shift+Tabto move backwards

Problem Description

I play music via a Raspberry Pi running Plexamp, this is controllable via Plexamp's web interface.

I have currently added the interface as a custom website, however the interface isn't very well suited to fullscreen display.

I can think of multiple url's I would like to add in this way that aren't services that make sense to add in the left sidebar of Ferdium.

Proposed Solution

It would be great if I could have additional site that operated as a flyout display like todo's do, with their own configurable hotkey to open and close.

This term implies that Ferdium is somehow tracking all the services that have been configured by all the users - which is something that we are not doing and should not be doing anyways.

Also, from past recollection, this is just a hard-coded list of Services - nothing that is based on actual data.

Its better to remove this code
