Resize tall images when using full height image mode? in c/thunder_app

[–] darklightxi 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hey there!

Thanks for bringing this up - I've created a PR to handle this issue here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1709. Feel free to take a look at the demo video in that PR and let me know if this is what you meant!

Is there a word filter I can setup and swith on and off ? in c/thunder_app

[–] darklightxi 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hey there, thanks for the feedback! I agree that it would be useful to have a way to enable or disable keyword filters.

I would suggest creating a new GitHub issue on this so that we can track it better.

Is there a way to disable swiping from the left from causing me to cancel making a comment? in c/thunder_app

[–] darklightxi 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for mentioning this issue as well! This behaviour is generally intended for iOS devices since thats the primary way to navigate back.

I can disable the swipe gesture for this specific case on Android devices in the meantime, and perhaps add a setting which enables or disables this navigation gesture globally in the future (this would take a bit more time as there’s a lot of pages to consider)

Like the other issues, I would suggest creating a new GitHub issue so that we can track this better. Thanks!

[Bug] Editing a post body and saving it doesn't refresh the post. Editing it a second time edits the original version and can cause data loss. in c/thunder_app

[–] darklightxi 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for pointing this out and for the detailed explanation! Can you open up a new GitHub issue on this linking to this post so that we are able to track it? Thanks!

Can you create a new GitHub issue on this with some steps on how to reproduce this issue? I might’ve missed an edge case that wasn’t fixed.

Graphical glitches [solved] in c/thunder_app

Just a quick update, a minor version will be released in the next few days which should hopefully resolve this issue. Once that's out, let me know if you're still encountering graphical glitches!

Back action brings up keyboard in c/thunder_app

Hi there! We're already tracking this issue here and have resolved it.

A new minor version will be released in the next couple of days to fix a few issues with v0.6.0!

Thunder Release [v0.6.0]: Media management, alternative link sources, and more! in c/thunder_app

[–] darklightxi 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sometimes the app doesn’t remember the language. I always use English and I have to manually choose it while replying

Thunder defaults to using "Select Language" whenever you create a new post/comment (this is the same behaviour as the Lemmy UI). The main reason for this is to reduce the "Unsupported Language" errors that happen when you try to create a new post/comment.

Under the hood, I believe "Select Language" will set the post/comment's language to match one of the community's allowed languages. For example, if the community only allows "English", then any comments that are created with "Select Language" will automatically be set to "English".

We might be able to make a change where Thunder remembers the last language that was selected, but this might cause errors if you try to create a comment with a language that the community doesn't support (e.g., previously created a comment using French, but then try to comment in a community that only allows English). I hope that makes sense!

[–] darklightxi 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The option only shows up on supported Lemmy versions! (which should be v0.19.4 and above)

If you’re on lemmy.world, the option isn’t available since the instance is still on v0.19.3

[–] darklightxi 2 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Thanks for the additional information! Do you by any chance have experimental features enabled? If you do, can you try turning that off and see if that fixes the issue?

Here’s a quick link to that setting: Thunder Setting: Debug > Experimental Features > Enable experimental features

Hey there! Unfortunately, I’m unable to reproduce this issue on my end (I’m replying from Thunder)

Could you provide some more details to reproduce this issue? (e.g., instance, errors, etc) It would also be helpful if you could create a new GitHub ticket to track this issue!

Alpha Release [v0.5.0]: Improved inbox, additional account settings, post hiding, and more! (github.com)

submitted 6 months ago by darklightxi to c/thunder_app

20 comments fedilink

Hey everyone, Thunder v0.5.0 is finally here! This release cycle took a quite a bit of time, but introduces a lot of new features, changes, and fixes which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project on GitHub! This helps gain visibility for the project and allows more contributors to help with the continued development of Thunder. If you'd like to show some appreciation, here is a post with details on how to donate to the active contributors of Thunder.

Important: Your feed settings (default feed type and sort) will now be based on your Lemmy account settings. The previous feed settings will now ONLY apply to guest accounts. As such, you may have to re-configure your default feed type and default sort type if you were previously using the in-app settings.

Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

The inbox page has been completely re-written with an updated design to more closely align with Material 3 design guidelines. There's also been a number of fixes to support quick actions within the inbox page (e.g., voting, saving, etc).
Thunder now respects more of your Lemmy account settings including your default feed/sort settings. You can update your display name, bio, email, and much more in the new Account Settings page. You can also quickly switch between different accounts to modify your Lemmy settings across all your authenticated accounts.
Additional Lemmy 0.19.x features have been added to Thunder including the ability to hide posts, custom thumbnail support, site content warnings, and more. We are still continuously working on bringing Thunder up to feature-parity with Lemmy, so let us know what features you would like to see.
Custom user notes/labels are now available in Thunder! This will allow you to add any custom notes to a given user. You can add user labels from the settings page via Settings -> User Labels. Alternatively, you can add labels through the action sheets by long pressing on a given comment and selecting User -> Add User Label.

ℹ General

The create/edit button for posts and comments have been moved to the markdown toolbar. This should hopefully make it more accessible for one-handed use.
URL filtering has been added to keyword filters. Simply add a new keyword filter with a URL, and it should be hidden from view.
Link sharing has been improved to support additional media/external links.

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

This is the second pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0, and I apologize for the delay on this one! I've been a bit busier lately, which has resulted in less available time to work on Thunder. This version includes some small additions but is mainly focused on a few important fixes.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

This is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0! As always, this pre-release version contains many additions, changes, and fixes.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

Important: Your feed settings (default feed type and sort) will now be based on your Lemmy account settings. The previous feed settings will now ONLY apply to guest accounts. As such, you may have to re-configure your default feed type and default sort type.

Some notable changes to test out:

The Account Settings has been updated to include even more settings that are synced to your Lemmy account. You can change your display name, profile bio, email, default feed type and sort, and more! Additionally, the user/community/instance blocks have been moved to their own dedicated page for easier management.
Experimental: You now have the ability to view a post as a different user. You can access this option by tapping on the three-dot menu within a post, and choosing "View post as a different user". When this happens, you temporarily switch accounts and can perform actions and even comment on the post as if you were that account.
You can now set custom labels for users which allows you to append a note to a given user. To access this feature, long press on a comment and select User -> Add User Label.
Groundwork is being laid out to improve the performance and reliability of the post page. This new experimental post page is locked under the new experimental features toggle. While this is not yet complete, you can test out the new post page by enabling experimental features in the Debug settings page.

The full list of changes since v0.4.0 are mentioned below. As always, if there are any bugs or issues, please submit a new GitHub issue.
