Support of sending picture

[ZatsuneNoMokou]

Is it possible to support sending picture or files?

[jgeboski]

Not currently, no.

[ZatsuneNoMokou]

hmm... I though it wasn't going to happen to I closed but okay.

[jgeboski]

I am only one man that happens to be in university, so I have very limited time most of the year. When I get free time, bugs take priority. We will get to it eventually.

[ZatsuneNoMokou]

Of course, I understand that

[gregg128]

Still no support for images? What a pity :(
jgeboski thank you for this plugin anyway!

[HammyHavoc]

Disa.im supports this in their plugin for Facebook Messenger; perhaps something could be ported from their source?

[dequis]

Their facebook plugin isn't open source.

But we don't need that, figuring out how to the android app does it is the easiest part.

Receiving pictures does not work also

So whats the limitation here? Understanding how to do this via facebook? Does Pidgin support image previews/thumbnails in chats?

Edit: New issue opened #255

[dequis]

This ticket is about sending pictures. Receiving pictures should work, please open a separate ticket if it fails for you.

The limitation for this ticket is time / interest.

before I go running around trying to arbitrarily patch stuff, may I ask if the following fix for insert image in xmpp could be useful? https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10056

[dequis]

Nope. Facebook doesn't use html

[jasoncook-fr]

That's a shame. I've been using this plugin for a few months now. Love it! Just wish I could insert image. It's the one thing that pertinently lacks (certainly with no tone of criticism). If I was better with this kind of development I would love to attempt contribution. Like many of us, only so many hours in the day to learn and apply. Thank you so much for this plugin! It's liberating.

@ZatsuneNoMokou Why are you closing this? Has it been implemented?

[ZatsuneNoMokou]

I don't need it anymore

[dequis]

You can click the 'unsubscribe' button on the right side if you're no longer interested, but keep this open.

[noudess]

I'd still love to see this added._

[alexolog]

Here we go again...

[JessFairbairn]

Weird lol. It would be wonderful if someone did implement this but I'm not holding my breath, the Facebook API is such a moving target
