Ability to delete/remove actual group chats and secret chats #524

Open jonnywilliamson opened 9 years ago

jonnywilliamson commented 9 years ago

I'm just after writing a Laravel package as a wrapper around telegram-cli and during the process was testing out most of the features.

The one glaring command that seems to be missing is the ability to actually REMOVE or delete a group chat (and secret chat) from the cli.

We can create them

create_group_chat
create_secret_chat

We can add and remove people from them

chat_add_user 
chat_del_user

But no ability to remove old ones once everyone else has left one!

Have I just missed something or am I doing it wrong?

I also see that issue https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/343 https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/283 https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/496

Are all practically the same. Just wondering what your thoughts are @vysheng ?

I think a workaround could be to log in to webogram, and use that cli-client for chat deletion. If you don't need to do so very often, this would be possible, I think. Although I agree that it would be nice to have a feature to do that in tg-cli

@LukeLR Yeah thats exactly how I'm doing it at the moment. To be fair I have very few group conversations and it's not a major issue for me, but I was curious why it was missing from the CLI.

Just wondered if it was an oversight or indeed a deliberate omission.

Yeah, I agree, would be nice to know why it's missing ;) I guess that vysheng just didn't had the time for it yet ;)

According to the telegram-api there is actually no option to delete a group chat.

If you for example create a second chat with the same name, telegram just appends a "#1" to the original name. So if "Test_Chat" already exists, the print_name will be "Test_Chat#1" while the title remains "Test Chat".

Maybe someone could ask the telegram-makers if there will ever be an option to delete a group-chat?
