send_photo on secret chat not working

[PazChauhan]

When replying to a Basic or Group message I am able to send an image using send_photo(peer, file).

When replying to a secret chat message, I generate the response using the same code as for the Basic and Group message responses i.e. using send_photo(peer, file).. However, no photo is sent for the Secret Message and telegram-cli cannot be 'safe_quit'. I need to 'quit' to exit telegram-cli, but it cannot be restarted. This is the log I get when trying to relaunch:

it has worked for me to receive a photo, so it must be something random, anyway, the problem is view_photo will not work as message id is always 0

Hi,

are you using send_photo on a secret chat?

send_photo works fine for me on a basic and group chat, just NOT on a secret chat. Do you have any sample code of this working for you that I can refer to please?

Thanks in advance Paz

i said it has worked for me to receive a photo in secret chat, i was merely pointing out that even if the function would work, there would be a problem using view_photo, which asks for msg-id, which in secret chat is always 0

update: yes, it worked to send a photo in secret chat, I used the following syntax:

send_photo !_Max /home/purple/test.jpg

I did not have debugging enabled but no error was shown and the photo was received by the other party, safe_quit does not work, but quit works and restart works

Hi,

Yes, I too can receive a photo in secret chat. Luckily, I do not need to view photo, but good to know its shortcomings.

Thanks, Paz
