Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.13
 

Unfortunatelly is not practical for me, crashes seems to be extremely random, each time I look for a different approach I get a new crash. And very often, once a crash happened, I just have to start over again removing all the contacts, sometimes removing the last contact I added and produced the crash is does not fix the address book. So is really a huge problem.

For now I prefer to continue my life without whatsapp rather than loading all my address book manually :(

But is this request of contacts necessary for Yappari to work, or is just so you can have the list of contacts to pick one to send a message to? What I mean is adding an option to start with an empty contact list in Yappari, not making this initial request for contacts, if that makes any sense (I don't know how whatsapp works).

Understood, but I like how well integrated conversations is and I'm not sure pidgin support skype anyway, which for me is more important than having whatsapp. I managed to live without whatsapp for now, and even when it would be extremely nice to have it, I don't want to completely change the way I use the phone for it, but I really appreciate your feedback and the detailed explanation of the alternative!

I do wonder how there is only about 10 people with this problem, nobody use the integrated conversations? That's odd...

I actually think the Conversations integration sucks and a lot. It's ok for Skype, but you can't receive files through MSN/GTalk/Yahoo/AIM. A lot of features are not supported that I use a lot so I decided not to use it.

I do use it for Skype though, but rarely.

Yappari is almost perfect now.

Just missing 2 things:
- Even there is no contact synchronization yet, most people still need a very simple function: automatically add local country code to the address book entries if it is not in international format
- Received "files" and "images" are an URL, how about just show the URL in the dialog before having any inline image viewer / etc? It should not be too difficult for the current code

If Yappari is open source, I think these will be added very quickly.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.13
 

I would prefer if Yappari left the contacts as they are. It's not the responsibility of a third-party app to fix your broken contacts. If I ever catch Yappari or any other application "fixing" anything of my contacts I'll immediately purge it and be angry about it.

After all, your problem requires a one-off solution. Write a script for that!

I seriously doubt that. Particularly at this stage of *early* development, the less people who play around with the code the less chances that one of them fvcks up.

Cheers.

I'm using Conversations IM as well and have absolutely no problems with my phone book.
I'm storing for each contact a lot of info (mobile numbers, land line, adress, skype/ICQ/MSN/FB/ etc contact, etc...) and there are no conflicts with whatsapp.
That's why i'm very looking forward to the contacts sync (or at least some icon or the number next to each contact, so that i know whether i'm selecting the mobile or landline number). But please go through your ToDo list as you wish, i can wait. ;)

Thanks again for this nice application!

Absolutely agree.
Adding the country code should be the responsibility of the user. This is anyway mandatory if you leave the country, that's why i'm always storing new numbers with the country code.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.13
 

Totally missed my meaning, firstly whatsapp official client will assume the number is local if the number has no country code, secondly, whatsapp official client doesnt need to modify user's address book in order to do this, it probably do it in its own in-memory address book during runtime.
That's what I mean, not "Yappari modify my address book" but it should determine the number is in international format or not, if not, just prefix it by country code "when talking to server" (no need to store this number).
This is the behaviour of whatsapp official client that is user friendly to us.
Anyway, not all country people used to put country code in address book, like china and most asian countries.
