Mentions disappear

[Kai Mast]

Sometimes the mention tab is just empty. I am not sure why this is happening but I guess there is some cleanup in friends that removes old messages?

I would expect that at least 20 of the most recent mentions are show but they aren't.

Rob: Can you point me to where this could happen? I just looked through the code but couldn't find any "cleanup" stuff.

In main.py it calls prune_model(2000). So if you've received 2000 new messages since the last time you were mentioned, then yes, the mentions will disappear.

Ah thanks.

So, we would need to change this to prune per stream. Otherwise, the mentions Tab sometimes is empty or just contains one or two messages which looks kind of broken.

Think I need some help on how to use GVariant here.

Basically I want to find out which stream each row belongs to so I do something like that while iterating over them:

iter = Model.get_iter_at_row(pos)
stream = Model.get_row(iter).stream

But then I get:
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Dee.py", line 24, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError("object has no attribute '%s'" % name)
AttributeError: object has no attribute 'stream'

Not sure if I use it correctly

It'd be "Model.get_row(iter)['stream']" i think.

Okay I think this is implemented now. Will test it for a week and see if something broke :)

Going to close this as friends is not in development anymore...
