auto-download? Jabber

[rotefantas2]

hello,

is it correct that if I send a file from my huawei p20 pro with cheogram (they say it's a conversations-fork but i don't believe it, however) to my miranda NG on my windows 10 that i have to download them manually?

everytime i send a picture as a file (i had this discussion with cheogram users already, you can send pictures as pictures but the exif-data will be resettet to 1st Jan 1970 so i have to send pictures as files, but in the end the result is the same except the exif-data is correct then) then i have to click every "http-link" of every file (picture) i have received with miranda NG, otherwise they won't get downloaded.

sometimes they do get downloaded automatically but it's a rare phenomenon.

good thing is that as you can see (i had some troubles uploading files this time, impressive 8 MB per file, i've never had this before on my p20 pro) that i have uploaded 105907.jpg at least twice and miranda NG automatically adds a "filename (1+n).jpg" to the filename. i wish paint and ms edge would do that too.

i have discovered the forum notifications. https://forum.miranda-ng.org/index.php?action=profile;area=notification

i will delete the bookmark. i hope i will get an email.

rotefantas2,
there're a couple of options for that in Options - Events - File transfers dialog:
- the very ability to download files automatically
- to set the certain limit to download files automatically, based on their size

but mention must be maid that HTTP links themselves are not downloaded, only files sent by HTTP Upload

[rotefantas2]

i will check it

my reaction

[rotefantas2]

somehow the upper option lost it's tick after clicking on OK. on the second try the tick remained.

the lower option had been changed from 2000 KB to 0. i saw that small files had been downloaded automatically but not files above 2 MB therefore i had to change it too.

should be defaults settings.
