Unclear that keyboard shortcuts like command+f exist (other than from release notes). Worth adding to the Edit menu, along with any other undocumented shortcuts?

Other nice keyboard shortcuts used by BetterChat on the app store are command+n for new messages, shift+command+n for new audio messages, and command+g for new group.

Those small changes along with the bug in search would make this best-in-class I believe.

Hi @bcalik,

I am not sure whether you have seen my comment.

Do you plan on releasing an Ubuntu deb package for your version?

Is there any way I can help you with that?

Thankfully,

Robert

Anyone had the same problem? Just white screen, nothing is loaded into the screen.

Works well and then, without clear notice, stops working and requires a restart. Has anyone else also experienced this?

Running the latest release on OS X 10.11.1.

Deleted
~/Library/Preferences/com.electron.whatsapp.plist (not sure of the name of the file here now, since i've already deleted the file).
and
~/Library/Application\ Support/whatsapp

But, still the issue remains.

Been using this app for 2 days and I've noticed that it doesn't close the way it should. Electron keeps running in the background and the systemtray icon doesn't go away either. Launching another session of the app doesn't fix this, it just add another instance of Electron to the running processes and adds another systemtray icon.

Edit: I've noticed that the app launches 2 instances of Electron to begin with.

Good Evening,
After Closing Whatsapp-Desktop, the Icon in the System Tray doesnt go away. When I click on it it says :

Wanted behavior: make the thing disappear after closing Whatsapp-Desktop.
After opening and closing n times Whatsapp-Desktop i have n Icons spamming my System Tray.

OS: ArchLinux (64bit) with kde-plasma, Whatsapp-Desktop downloaded from the AUR with pkgbuilder

I did what the page told me, just
git clone https://github.com/bcalik/Whatsapp-Desktop.git
cd WhatsApp-Desktop
npm install
npm run build
and this error appears

Whatsapp-Desktop version - latest

If you're using the app and close it's window it goes to the system's tray as shown here:

But if you click on the icon instead of restoring the app's window you get this error:

And the process is still shown as running:

I'm running Debian testing x64 with GNOME.

Just noticed, that when a group chat is muted I still get notifications!
The red badge still appears... Is that something that could be fixed by the client?

I want to get customize dialog box with new message and contact details of that person instead of standard notification.
Can i do that? If Yes..Please guide me how to do it?

When I try to use the keyboard combination nothing happens :/

That is what I see when I try to login

It would be nice to have a screenshot of the app in the README.md.

I noticed that when I close or minimize the window into the dock, a notification still appears and when I click on it, it´ll will also bring me to the main desktop, but it won´t maximize the window.
It´s not critical, but it requires an additional action which can be a little bit annoying when you use it a lot (which I do right now).

Is it possible to get windows binaries?

Is this Project still alive?
The last release is from 6 Apr 2016 and and there happen 21 commits to master since this release.

I have found out that this wrapper was done using electron wrapper, and after checking the connections my whatsapp has i have seen that the application shows the desktop connection as if it was connected using the Mac version while using the original web version shows the correct OS name which in my case is Debian Ubuntu

The Whatsapp.app "file" is a folder. What in there am I supposed to run? I'm on an Ubuntu 14.04.

Hi, there. I may say that my reasoning could be wrong, I've not checked it, but I think there could be an invisible privilege escalation security issue with this Electron app.
This could be caused with third-party remote JS code, like WhatsApp code or any CDN libraries without the user notice.

Basically, the app fetches some unknown JS code and execute it in the node.js runtime instead of a normal browser JS runtime (Spidermonkey, V8), meaning that it has access to node.js IO (filesystem) and other potentially risky modules.

The solution may consist in execute the webpage in some kind of isolated sandbox, from which the JS code can't have any access to node.js capabilities.

Any real implementation for this? First step may be check Electron configs or some npm modules.

@bcalik I was just curious that can we build simple chat bot around this framework. Any idea...

As OS X default the close button shouldn't quit the application - in my opinion ;)

The license is needed in order to get the packaging done on some linux distro... I assume it's MIT?
also if you can add the license on github it would be better :)

The download link on README.MD is broken.

Each menu item in this menu is giving Java errors whenever the user tries to use one of them.

Hello personal , all right?
I'm trying to accomplish sending images by browser cosole and I'm CORS (Cross Domain) problems. Does anyone know how I can do this ?

The following sample code:

var imageURL ="http://www.mydomain.com/image.jpg";
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var image = new Image();
image.setAttribute('crossorigin', 'anonymous');
image.onload = function () {
canvas.width = image.width;
canvas.height = image.height;
context.drawImage(image, 0, 0, image.width, image.height);
canvas.width(function (blob) {
var event = new Event('drop');
var uri = new URI(imageURL);
var file = new File([blob], 'upload.' + uri.path.substr(uri.path.lastIndexOf('.') + 1), {type: 'image/' + (uri.path.substr(uri.path.lastIndexOf('.') + 1))});

});

};
image.src = imageURL;

Best regards .

Hi is possible to disable menubar icon?

Thanks

Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits

I have added the following lines to package.json:

...
    "clean:linux": "rm -rf ./dist/linux",
...
    "build:linux": "npm run clean:linux && electron-packager ./app \"Whatsapp\" --out=dist/linux --platform=linux --arch=x64 --version=0.30.0"
...

It creates the files correctly but when I execute, it opens a borderless window:

and it doesn't show any icon in Unity launcher:

(forget it. Noticed this is not the one, but just a placeholder.

run the whatapp executable binary after I unzip, and I get this error message. I could still proceed though.

Hi guys!

How can I change the applet icon ? Does it depend on the gtk-icon-theme ?
