This commit adds a tray icon to the application, shown in the system
tray bar, that can be used to minimise the application window. This
is a common feature on most desktop messaging apps (e.g. Telegram
Desktop or Slack) and allows to save space in the system task bar.
The tray icon provides a context menu that contains a button to
show/hide the application window, and a button to quit the
application. When the tray icon is clicked, the visibility of the
window is toggled. When the close (x) button of the window is
pressed, the application is not terminated but minimised to the tray
icon instead (it can be terminated by using the "Quit" entry in the
File menu or in the context menu of the tray icon).
The tray icon is disabled by default, and two command line arguments
are available to enable it:
--use-tray-icon: enables the tray icon
--start-in-tray: enables the tray icon and the application starts
minimised in the tray bar
Resolves: #1480
* Added top level menu shortcuts (Fixes#1688 and #1695).
The ampersand (&) character in front of a letter in a menu label
indicates that the letter that follows '&' will be used as a keyboard
shortcut letter to access this menu. In Windows/Linux, the default
shortcut combination is Alt+<letter>.
* Use non-hardcoded menu labels.
The menu labels were hardcoded in English.
We should not be using plain strings right in the source code, but
pulling them from the `messages.json` files instead.
* Remove reload options, new file/help menus, tools/log at bottom
* Further menus refactor: install handlers at template creation
* WIP: Further tune menus, add custom about window
* New About window, new help menu items, menu labels now i18n
* Default device name on registration is now computer hostname
The OS of the device makes sense for those of us testing across a lot of
different OSes. And maybe for a user with just one desktop device. But
most users with multiple desktop devices are using the same OS for both.
* About window: Only show window when content is ready
* Fix typo in app/menu.js
* Add setting to hide menu bar
Add a setting in the themes section to hide the menu bar.
The menu bar is not needed in everyday use and might not fit in with
signals dark theme. The hidden menu bar can still be shown by pressing
alt.
autoHideMenuBar is added to windowConfig and saved and restored on
startup to prevent flickering.
* Trigger events only when related setting changes
Set the event to trigger on instanciation of the view.
Notification settings no longer reapply the theme or menu bar settings.
* Save window state when closing the window
When not moving or resizing the window, no BrowserWindow config would be
created and saved.
Because export might take a couple minutes, we now set expectations
that it might take 'several minutes' instead of just 'please wait.'
We also promote 'Install new Signal Desktop' from a text link in the
instructions to a button. This is important on the 'Completed' screen
because it is bigger and to the left of the 'Export Again' button, which
previously drew primary focus on that screen.
Lastly, we also remove the title-specific element of the support link,
so we're resilient to title changes in the future.
FREEBIE
* Add support for backup and restore
This first pass works for all stores except messages, pending some scaling
improvements.
// FREEBIE
* Import of messages and attachments
Properly sanitize filenames. Logging information that will help with
debugging but won't threaten privacy (no contact or group names),
where the on-disk directories have this information to make things
human-readable
FREEBIE
* First fully operational single-action export and import!
FREEBIE
* Add migration export flow
A banner alert leads to a blocking ui for the migration. We close the socket and
wait for incoming messages to drain before starting the export.
FREEBIE
* A number of updates for the export flow
1. We don't immediately pop the directory selection dialog box, instead
showing an explicit 'choose directory' button after explaining what is
about to happen
2. We show a 'submit debug log' button on most steps of the process
3. We handle export errors and encourage the user to double-check their
filesystem then submit their log
4. We are resilient to restarts during the process
5. We handle the user cancelling out of the directory selection dialog
differently from other errors.
6. The export process is now serialized: non-messages, then messages.
7. After successful export, show where the data is on disk
FREEBUE
* Put migration behind a flag
FREEBIE
* Shut down websocket before proceeding with export
FREEBIE
* Add MigrationView to test/index.html to fix test
FREEBIE
* Remove 'Submit Debug Log' button when the export process is complete
FREEBIE
* Create a 'Signal Export' directory below user-chosen dir
This cleans things up a bit so we don't litter the user's target
directory with lots of stuff.
FREEBIE
* Clarify MessageReceiver.drain() method comments
FREEBIE
* A couple updates for clarity - event names, else handling
Also the removal of wait(), which wasn't used anywhere.
FREEBIE
* A number of wording updates for the export flow
FREEBIE
* Export complete: put dir on its own line, make text selectable

New experience in the Message Detail view when outgoing identity key
errors happen, matching the Android View.
'View' button is only shown on outgoing key errors right now.
When a contact with an outgoing identity key error is clicked, they are
taken to a view like the popup that comes up on Android: an explanation
of what happened and three options: 'Show Safety Number', 'Send Anyway',
and 'Cancel'
Contacts are now sorted alphabetically, with the set of contacts with
errors coming before the rest.
FREEBIE
We also show more errors than we used to in the MessageDetail screen
to help make it clear what is happening, and why the user would need to
re-send.
FREEBIE
Not yet using the new APIs, but ready to. Still to do:
- Send sync messages on trust decisions
- Respond to received trust decision sync messages
- Show trust decisions in the conversation history
- In that rare situation where a sent message ends up with a key error
make it easy to retry the send.
FREEBIE
Also:
- All the necessary wire-up to update things in real time. If you have
a safety number page up via a group member view as well as via a 1:1
conversation with that contact, they'll both be updated as the
underlying model changes. Similarly, the overall group will update
in real-time as members change.
- A bit of special-casing for yourself in a group conversation - you're
shown as 'me' and are not clickable, where normally that would take you
to the Safety Number screen for that contact. You are also not included
in the trust calculations for a given group.
FREEBIE
* Show a pointer cursor on safety number change notification
* Add 'click to verify' to the text shown there
* Add ':' to the text shown on the safety number screen
* Limit the width of the safety number box, to force 3x4 layout
* Center the safety number box
FREEBIE
This is to ensure that when there are a lot of unread messages, the user
is given the chance to see all of them by being scrolled to the oldest
new message.
When a new message comes in, the indicator will be incremented.
When the user sends a message or switches away from the conversation,
the last seen indicator will be removed.
FREEBIE
Add names and sizes for all attachments except images, and (as with
arbitrary attachments), clicking on the text will open a save dialog.
In the absence of a filename, choose something that makes sense.
Display different icons for different media types, including distinct icons
for voice notes and audio files.
In iOS theme, audio, video, voice, and files are all encapsulated in bubbles.

When we can't connect due to being unlinked, network status indicator
will show an appropriate informational message and a button to open the
installer window to relink.
// FREEBIE
Let momentjs handle proper pluralization of relative times. This comes
at the sacrifice of displaying 'minutes' in the conversation list
timestamp rather than 'min'. Note that we don't use moment's fromNow
instance method so as to preserve the rounding logic that matches the
Android client.
// FREEBIE
Add a section under settings for performing a contact sync from your
mobile device. This just re-runs the same import operation that occurs
at install/link time.
// FREEBIE
For messages that failed to send due to network errors, this change
allows retrying them directly from the main conversation view rather
than only from the message detail view.
