Is it possible to actually insert stickers from Pidgin? Couldn't find it.

majn commented 9 years ago

no, at the moment not

Any ideas or more specific pointers on how to implement this? Not being able to use sticker is one of the major issues that prevent me from using Pidgin with Telegram again :/

ildar commented 6 years ago

excuse me for IMHO: the issue is the inconvenience but not critical, as I use telegram-purple for texting and stuff and when I need to send a sticker I just pick up the phone and do it. I could also use web.telegram, but don't: we use telegram-purple exactly to avoid it, right? :))

Phoenix616 commented 6 years ago

I realise it's not a critical issue but a rather big short coming: The custom stickers are one major selling point for Telegram so not having them is kinda sad. My main goal of asking was to maybe get some pointers to eventually just implement it myself and not really knowing what libpurple is capable of nowadays.

"not having them" is just half-y. You can receive but not send

Honestly I don't think that stickers could be implemented in a generic libpurple interface, in a way that would please everyone. Seems like you'd need some sort of custom UI and logic for that, which might make any attempt compatible with Pidgin only.

If anyone feels like implementing this enhancement, it might be a better idea to direct your energy to tdlib-purple. For now, there seems to be nobody who implements any enhancements for telegram-purple, so I'm closing all "enhancement" issues. Of course, Pull Requests are still very much welcome!

(Also, I agree with rodneyrod: I think this would need special support from the frontend anyway.)
