Feature: drawing and quoting

[quozl]

Some of the original design features not yet implemented are drawing and quoting.

• increase the height of the entry widget and accept touchscreen or mouse drawing, as well as text,
• transmit the drawing and text to the shared activity instance,
• receive and render both the drawing and the text,
• add a clear entry button to the entry widget,
• in the chat history, for each transmission add a quote button, which will load the entry widget with the drawing and text.

Yes, the entry widget being referred to in the opening comment is the one for writing messages.

Task number 5 , chat history and quote button what we are aiming here to do, like chat which is already written there in current session its drawing and text?

Sorry, I can't parse your question. Although it was designed many years ago by our volunteers, I think this feature can be found in many other instances of chat software today. I note the page doesn't load. I'll add that to my list.

Ok, Is it correct what I am thinking, respond to or elaborate on the selected message without having to retype or redraw the content?

[quozl]

No, I was not proposing message selection. When the new message is sent, I would expect it to contain the drawing and text with any changes made by the user.
