Send Images? #6

Thanks for the awesome project!

Is there any way to send images via signal-curses?

jwoglom commented 5 years ago

This isn't supported currently. If signal-cli (really libsignal-service-java, which it depends on) supports attachment uploads then this is likely possible, as it would only be a matter of coding up the UI. From looking into this briefly it appears possible, using the -a parameter to signal-cli to specify an attachment to upload, though I'm not sure how it works over the dbus interface of signal-cli which is what signal-curses uses. So this is potentially doable, depending on how feasible the latter is. If not, signal-curses could start a new signal-cli process specifically for the task of uploading an attachment.

So, in short, this might be a bit of a pain to implement UX-wise but is likely possible in some fashion. No guarantee if and when I might get around to it, but PRs are welcome.
