* android, desktop, ios: show chat name in delete / leave / clear confirmation dialogs
The dialogs confirming delete contact, delete/leave group/channel and
clear chat now show the chat's name on its own line above the existing
warning, so the user can see which chat the destructive action will
affect.
Pure code change: no new translation strings, no signature changes, no
new helpers. The name is read via existing displayName accessors on
GroupInfo / Contact / ChatInfo.
clearNoteFolderDialog is intentionally unchanged - the notes folder is a
single-instance object and its existing warning already identifies it.
* android, desktop, ios: also show chat name when deleting pending connection
deleteContactConnectionAlert was missed in the original inventory.
Same pattern as the other dispatchers - prepend the connection's
displayName on its own line above the existing warning - so a user
who set a custom name on a pending connection can see which one
they are about to delete.
* android: use <br> instead of \n for newline in delete confirmation dialog body
On Android, the alert body goes through HtmlCompat.fromHtml which
treats the input as HTML and collapses literal \n to a single space -
so "Tech Talk\n\nGroup will be deleted..." rendered as
"Tech Talk Group will be deleted...". Switch to <br><br>, which both
HtmlCompat (Android) and the Desktop parser at Utils.desktop.kt:75
correctly render as a newline.
* android, desktop: skip HTML parsing for delete confirmation dialog text
Add parseHtml: Boolean = true parameter to showAlertDialog and
showAlertDialogButtonsColumn; when false, the body text is wrapped as
AnnotatedString and routed through the existing AnnotatedString
AlertContent overload, bypassing escapedHtmlToAnnotatedString entirely.
The 8 dispatchers that embed the user-controlled chat displayName now
opt out (parseHtml = false). This means:
- displayName is rendered as literal text - no HTML interpretation,
so a contact whose alias is "<b>X</b>" or "<font color=..." no
longer renders bold or coloured in the confirmation dialog
- the platforms align: both iOS and Kotlin now use plain "\n\n" for
the separator (no more <br><br> Kotlin-only workaround)
- removes coupling to escapedHtmlToAnnotatedString in this path
* android, desktop: shorten parseHtml comment in AlertManager
* remove extra text

onFilesAttached classified URIs by isImage only, so videos fell through
to processPickedFile and were attached as generic files. processPickedMedia
already handles video correctly; the classifier above it just never
reached that branch. Recognise videos as media inline using getFileName.
* android, desktop: fix chat item long-press menu and ripple shape
clipChatItem clipped the bubble shape with Modifier.clip. Modifier.clip
of the bubble GenericShape mis-hit-tests its path on very tall items, so
long-press on the lower part of a long message did not reach
combinedClickable and the context menu did not open (#6991); on desktop
the same clip also left the press ripple rendered as a rectangle.
Clip the bubble GenericShape in the draw pass (drawWithCache + clipPath)
instead: drawing is clipped identically, the press ripple included, with
no effect on hit-test. The RoundRect shape (tail disabled) hit-tests
correctly and keeps Modifier.clip.
Fixes#6991
* plans: justify chat item long-press and ripple shape fix

* android, desktop: settings navigation reorganization
Restructure the root Settings screen into two top-level sections and
fold previously-scattered items into three new sub-screens.
Root:
- Appearance, Your privacy, Chat data
- Help & support, Migrate to another device, Advanced settings
Your privacy (renamed from Privacy & security): keeps Device,
link previews / remove tracking, auto-accept images, blur media,
contact requests from groups. Adds a "More privacy" sub-screen.
More privacy (new): show last messages, message draft, encrypt local
files, protect IP address (with original dynamic footer preserved),
notification preview mode (moved from Notifications), and delivery
receipts.
Help & support (new): merges Help and Support SimpleX Chat sections
into Help / About (with App version) / Contact / Support the project.
Advanced settings (new): Network & servers, Notifications (Android),
Audio & video calls; then Developer tools, Restart and Shutdown
(Android), App update channel (desktop). Notifications is hidden on
desktop because the screen is empty after Show preview moves to
More privacy.
Chat data is the new top-level menu label for the existing
Database passphrase & export screen.
* android, desktop: trim settings reorg diff
- Remove 5 dead strings from base/strings.xml (privacy_and_security,
database_passphrase_and_export, settings_section_title_chat_database,
settings_section_title_support, settings_section_title_app) — no
Kotlin references after the reorg.
- Drop the now single-variant CurrentPage enum in
NotificationsSettingsView; replace with a direct callback.
- Read userDisplayName locally in HelpAndSupportView instead of
threading it through SettingsLayout/SettingsView/Preview.
* android, desktop: remove orphan locale strings
Companion to 442a368c9 which removed 5 dead keys from base/strings.xml.
The :common:adjustFormatting task enforces that every locale string has
a corresponding base entry, so these orphans broke the build. Removed
across 35 locale files (154 lines).
Keys removed:
- privacy_and_security
- database_passphrase_and_export
- settings_section_title_chat_database
- settings_section_title_support
- settings_section_title_app
* Revert "android, desktop: remove orphan locale strings"
This reverts commit 0ad5fc9308a3599d15bf50ca1980002ae0e467b2.
* android, desktop: restore base strings for removed keys
Counterpart to revert of 0ad5fc930: re-add the 5 base entries that
442a368c9 had deleted so the locale files (restored by the prior revert)
are no longer orphaned. Translation keys must not be removed once
introduced — the values can change but the keys stay.
Keys restored to base with their master English values:
- database_passphrase_and_export
- privacy_and_security
- settings_section_title_chat_database
- settings_section_title_support
- settings_section_title_app
* android, desktop: keep share-button helpers in SettingsView
ContributeItem, RateAppItem, StarOnGithubItem were moved from
SettingsView.kt to HelpAndSupportView.kt as part of the reorg.
Move them back: just drop the `private` modifier (one-word edit
per function) so HelpAndSupportView can call them in place. Saves
~60 lines of diff churn vs the move + matches the file's existing
pattern where helpers like AppVersionItem, ChatPreferencesItem,
ChatLockItem, etc. are all public top-level @Composable.
* android, desktop: inline HelpAndSupportView into SettingsView.kt
HelpAndSupportView is the only call site of SettingsView.kt's
share-button helpers; placing it as a top-level @Composable in
SettingsView.kt keeps the help/about/contact/support flow next to
the other settings entry points and removes the need for a new file.
Three imports (BuildConfigCommon, SimpleXInfo, WhatsNewView) that
the reorg was deleting from SettingsView.kt stay in place. Saves
~35 lines of diff and one new file.
* android, desktop: inline AdvancedSettingsView into SettingsView.kt
Same treatment as HelpAndSupportView in the previous commit:
AdvancedSettingsView is only reached from SettingsLayout, so the
function and its expect declaration live as top-level @Composable
in SettingsView.kt instead of a new file. NetworkAndServersView
import that the reorg was deleting from SettingsView.kt stays.
The .android.kt / .desktop.kt actuals are unchanged and keep
implementing the (now relocated) expect. Saves ~15 lines and a file.
* ios: settings navigation reorganization
Mirror the multiplatform reorg on iOS:
Root SettingsView: collapse the 5 sections into 2 unlabeled groups —
{Appearance, Your privacy, Chat data} and {Help & support, Migrate to
another device, Advanced settings}. "Privacy & security" becomes
"Your privacy"; the database row label becomes "Chat data".
PrivacySettings: keeps Device, link previews / remove tracking,
auto-accept images, blur media, contact requests from groups. Adds a
"More privacy" link.
MorePrivacy (new, inlined in PrivacySettings.swift): show last
messages, message draft, encrypt local files, protect IP address
(with original dynamic footer preserved), notification preview mode
(moved from NotificationsView), delivery receipts. Own state and
private helpers for the moved set* functions.
HelpAndSupportView (new, inlined in SettingsView.swift): merges Help
and Support sections into Help / About (with App version) / Contact /
Support the project.
AdvancedSettingsView (new, inlined in SettingsView.swift): Network &
servers, Notifications, Audio & video calls, Developer tools. iOS has
no Restart/Shutdown (Android-only) or App update channel (desktop).
NotificationsView: "Show preview" navigation removed — it now lives
in MorePrivacy. notificationsIcon() promoted to a free function so
AdvancedSettingsView can render the notifications status badge.
* android, desktop: keep platform file names as SettingsView.{android,desktop}.kt
Revert the file renames from {Advanced}SettingsView.{android,desktop}.kt.
Function rename SettingsSectionApp → AdvancedSettingsAppSection stays
inside each file; only the file path returns to its original name. No
behavior change; diff stat now shows two in-place modifications instead
of renames.
* ios: keep PrivacySettings/SettingsView state in place, use inline destinations
Restructure the iOS reorg to avoid moving state, helpers, and the alert
enum out of PrivacySettings — and to avoid moving notificationsIcon
out of SettingsView. The Help & Support, Advanced Settings, and
More Privacy "screens" become private computed properties on their
parent struct, so all @AppStorage, @State, set* helpers, and the
PrivacySettingsViewAlert enum stay UNCHANGED from master. NavigationLink
destinations reference the computed properties directly.
Net iOS diff vs master: 220+/154- (was 361+/259-) — saves ~245 lines.
* simplex settings
* android, desktop: mirror iOS settings reorganization
- inline Advanced settings section into the main settings list (Network &
servers, Notifications, Audio & video calls, App version); remove the
separate Advanced settings page
- reorder first section: Appearance, Your privacy, Help & support, Chat data,
Migrate; merge About SimpleX Chat into the Help section
- move the developer/maintenance section under App version (VersionInfoView);
load core version inside the view so it always opens (Developer tools and
Shutdown stay reachable even if the version request fails)
- keep "Developer tools" label (not renamed to "Developer")
- replace the Restart row with Cancel/Restart/Shutdown options in the
Shutdown dialog
- split DatabaseView: "Chat data" page (messages TTL, Database passphrase &
export, Files & media) and a sub-page with passphrase/export/import/delete
and the Run chat toggle; rename title to "Chat data"
- align delivery receipts alert wording with the renamed "Your privacy" settings
* android, desktop: simplify settings reorg internals
- VersionInfoView: drop the section/card wrapping, keep the original plain
version-text layout; load core version in-view so the screen always opens
- DatabaseView: make the "Database passphrase & export" sub-page a
self-contained DatabaseManagementView that owns its own state, mirroring the
DatabaseView/DatabaseLayout pattern instead of threading params through a modal
* android, desktop: show App version screen as a card screen
VersionInfoView now hosts a settings section (Developer tools / updates), so
open it with cardScreen = true like the other settings screens — otherwise the
section renders without the card box around it.
* android, desktop: show "Rate the app" only on mobile
The action opens a Play Store link, which does nothing on desktop (the
market:// scheme has no handler and the web fallback never fires). Gate it to
Android, like the Contribute item.
* android, desktop: move Shutdown to settings above app version
Move the Shutdown action out of the app version screen into the main
advanced settings section, just above the app version row. It stays
Android only (desktop is closed via the window) through an
AppShutdownItem expect/actual.
* android, desktop: show app version info in its own card
Wrap the version info block on the app version screen in a section card,
matching iOS and the rest of the card-screen settings.

* desktop: don't copy non-message items when selecting message text
Selecting text across messages also copied the text of event/info
items (e.g. "connected") that fell inside the selection, even though
those items are never highlighted as selected.
getSelectedCopiedText emitted text for every merged item between the
selection bounds. Event/info items have no msgContent but a non-empty
text, so as interior items their text was copied. Skip items whose
content has no msgContent - only real messages are copyable.
* plans: add 2026-05-20-fix-copy-non-msg-items.md
* core: fix /start remote host parser when iface name contains a space
The iface= field used jsonP (which calls takeByteString and strict-decodes
the entire remaining input as JSON). When port= followed iface=, the strict
decode failed on the trailing data and the text1P fallback stopped at the
first space inside the JSON-quoted interface name (e.g. "Ethernet 2"),
leaving unparseable junk and producing "Failed reading: empty".
Replace jsonP with a bounded quotedP that consumes only up to the closing
quote, leaving port=… for the next parser.
* plan: document fix for /start remote host iface-with-space parser bug
Move SectionDividerSpaced() out of the SectionView { ... } block so it acts
as inter-section spacing instead of being rendered as the section's last
child. Matches the pattern used by every other section in ChatInfoLayout.
Plan: plans/2026-05-25-fix-e2e-encryption-section-divider.md
* desktop: fix video playback hang caused by stuck preview snapshot
Problem: clicking play on a video did nothing when an earlier video's
preview generation was stuck — every subsequent VideoPlayer.play() was
queued behind it on the shared playerThread.
Cause: helper player reuse across previews exhausted the libavcodec h264
frame-buffer pool with --avcodec-hw=none (PR #6924), and the synchronous
libvlc snapshots().get() call then hung waiting for a frame that was
never decoded.
Fix: drop the helper-player pool (release each helper after use) and run
preview generation on a dedicated previewThread so a stuck preview can
no longer block playback.
* plans: add 2026-05-15-fix-video-preview-snapshot-hang.md
* desktop: capture preview via callback surface, keep helper pool
Follows up on the previous commit (4a964c66). The actual hang was in
libvlc's synchronous snapshots().get() on a reused helper, not in the
pooling itself. Replace the polling loop with a CallbackVideoSurface
(the existing SkiaBitmapVideoSurface) wrapped in withTimeoutOrNull —
the wait is bounded, so a non-decoding helper can't block previewThread.
Restore the helper-player pool that the previous commit dropped.
* plans: update 2026-05-15-fix-video-preview-snapshot-hang.md for final fix
* desktop: fix in-app updater silently failing on Windows
chooseGitHubReleaseAssets ran `which dpkg` unconditionally to probe for
Debian-derivative systems. On Windows there is no which.exe, so
Runtime.exec threw IOException, which the outer catch in checkForUpdate
logged and swallowed -- the update dialog never appeared. Gate the
probe on desktopPlatform.isLinux().
* desktop: fix in-app updater install step on AppImage
xdg-open on the downloaded .AppImage opened it in whatever the desktop
environment's default handler for the AppImage MIME type is -- usually
an archive viewer, which reports 'Archive format not recognized'. The
running AppImage was never replaced.
Detect $APPIMAGE (set by the AppImage runtime to the path of the
running .AppImage file). Copy the downloaded file to a staging file in
the target's own directory, mark it executable, then atomic-move it
onto $APPIMAGE. Staging in the target directory keeps the final move a
same-filesystem rename(2), so an interrupted copy never leaves the
running AppImage partially overwritten. On failure (permission denied,
target read-only, etc.) fall back to opening the parent directory so
the user can install manually -- the same fallback the existing
xdg-open path already used.
* desktop: fix in-app updater silently failing on aarch64 AppImage
The LINUX_AARCH64 githubAssetName had a literal leading space
(" simplex-desktop-aarch64.AppImage"), so the exact-name filter in
chooseGitHubReleaseAssets never matched the real release asset name
"simplex-desktop-aarch64.AppImage". The asset list came back empty
and checkForUpdate's early-return at "No assets to download for
current system" suppressed the dialog. Same silent-failure pattern as
the Windows bug.
