Molly is fine, we support linking to Molly. I consider @valldrac a friend of mine :slight_smile:

But I can’t help you without some logs!

Hi all,
I’ve just joined a group here and ppl have been sending multiple photos in one post. More than 12. I can’t seem to see more than the initial group. Is this a current limitation?
Xperia 10 III

Yeah, the UI supports only five attachments at the moment. IIRC the attachments are downloaded in the attachments directory anyway so you can look for the attachments received. The easiest way is running ls -lt | grep "Jan 25" (or whichever date it is) to see the 12 attachments that arrived at the same time or near it. Then you can copy them to Pictures and see them in Gallery.

Better attachments viewer page is on the list but sadly there hasn’t been any progress on it for some time. But it’s coming, at some point :wink:

Registering Whisperfish as a primary device is not currently working for me. I am getting the following error in the process:

This occurs right after I successfully complete the captcha.

Same here, Xperia X10 II, tried several times and according to the wiki I have to wait 7 days before I can try again.

hi,
i did try to install whisperfish as secondary device on my c2 and get the same result

can you point me to the 7day information please ?

There is indeed currently a known issue during linking.

Possibly, you may have to erase the data directories before trying again though. You should see a fix coming this weekend.

@sailor28, could you try wiping (see link above) and capturing the logs during the registration? If you indeed come from Android/iOS, you may want to disable the registration lock before trying again, or indeed wait 7 days with the previous account untouched/uninstalled.

thanks for the quick answer (as always :slight_smile: )
i have checked the register-lock. it is off
yes i do cleaning before retries. (took me a while to find the folders after the months on volla)

do you think there is an issue running primary and secondary (whisperfish) on same phone ? beside the fact that you need something to copy the qr code ?

Not at all. In your case, you’re just bouncing on this issue. Before I release that, there’s something else I want in. Shouldn’t take long :slight_smile:

You can fix it with this

How do I reset Whisperfish to be able to register again?

rm -rf ~/.local/share/harbour-whisperfish ~/.config/harbour-whisperfish ~/.local/share/be.rubdos/harbour-whisperfish ~/.config/be.rubdos/harbour-whisperfish

Thanks for the response!

I have cleared the folders and checked that the registration lock was off (it was, hadn’t used the official Signal client in a while anyway). I tried registering again, but got the same problem. I did capture the logs now, which you can find here: Whisperfish logs - Pastebin Service
It gives a couple of error messages with regards to local data corruption?

Should have linked this from the get-go, but you’ll have to enable verbose logging: Home · Wiki · Whisperfish / Whisperfish - Signal on Sailfish OS · GitLab

I think this will probably be the same issue as the linking now though, so maybe worth waiting a day or so for the next version.

Okay, thanks, will sit it out!
I’m currently rate limited by the captcha anyway :slight_smile:
