Parley 1.7.20

Mentions and chips

• Typing "@" lists the conversation's apps, Drive files and spaces as well as people, in People, Apps, Files and Spaces sections, as Google Chat does. Picking a file or a space puts it in the message as a chip.
• The People section also lists people from your organization who aren't in the conversation. Mentioning one in a space where you can add people asks first, as Google Chat does: Add and Send invites them, Send Without Adding only names them. In a direct message the mention only names them.
• The Files section shows every file Google finds for what you type, including files that match by their contents.
• A Drive file someone picked in Google Chat shows as a link to the file in the message, beside its preview.

Spaces and people

• A person's card shows their job title and their local time, as Google Chat's card does. The title comes from Google Contacts and the time from the time zone they share in Google Calendar. The card opens when you click someone's name or photo in a conversation, or a member in the Info panel.
• Show Details, on a person's card or in a direct message's Info panel, opens their details in the side pane, as Google Chat's detailed view does. It shows their title, local time, email, direct reports or management chain, recent Calendar events and Gmail threads you share, and files they shared with you. Clicking a report or manager shows theirs, and Back returns.

Windows and tabs

• The title bar shows the conversation's emoji or image, or the other person's photo with their status, before its name, as Google Chat does.
• The + at the end of the tab bar opens a tab with the Jump to conversation list instead of an empty window. The conversation you pick opens in that tab.
• File ▸ New Tab (⌘T) opens the same list in a new tab beside the conversation window in front, as in Safari.
• A conversation window with the Threads list open can no longer be made so narrow that the messages and the list are cut off. Opening the list widens the window to fit, as Info does.

Connection

• Parley no longer drops and reopens its live connection every few seconds, which showed Reconnecting in the sidebar's corner. It reconnects at once only when the network comes back after being down, or the Mac wakes.
