In the repo:
```
$ bin/nim_status_client --help
```
In the packaged app (macOS example):
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --help
```
Output:
```
Usage:
nim_status_client [OPTIONS]...
The following options are available:
-d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory.
```
**Using the option**
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242"
```
The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with
`--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`.
Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]`
or `-d [path]`.
The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so
`--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See
[Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual.
It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying
different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2"
```
**Windows**
It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking
`bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production
build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a
session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run
but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir`
option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a
recommended terminal.
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly
instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option,
it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See
the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.
**Linux**
The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a
production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development
build:
```
$ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever
```
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead
of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is
required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the
`run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.

BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling
of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory:
```
Status (app data directory)
├── data (status-go directory)
├── qt
└── tmp
```
Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing
installations will lose their customized settings.
At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if
`Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to
`Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to
problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that
settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before
this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus.

Command-line option support is provided by
[nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils).
The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of
passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development
builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make
V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile.
A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to
`false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line
nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In
the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to
"production vs. development". At present, production builds and development
builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can
have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug
builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with
`RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized).
Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between
development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the
"data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves
as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS
`~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to
whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall
data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go.
This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion:
* The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to
store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by
status-go.
* For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative
to the root of the repo.
* For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before,
e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`.
The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be
referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It
would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We
can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing
installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of
`Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do,
I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could
cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now
to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`.
---
**NOTES**
More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is
contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both
development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories
outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on
macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing
defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See:
https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141.
In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For
example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in
`src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine
for now, but better code organization is desirable.

Closes#2268
[ieq]: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-identifier-equality
Fixes: #2248.
Add a close button to the seed backup warning banner in the wallet. The banner will reappear upon application restart as long as the seed hasn’t already been backed up (`profileModel.mnemonic.isBackedUp`).
A new .svg with a white outline needed to be added as well because the original “close.svg” had a purple outline, which would show up when the ColorOverlay applied to the close button had an opacity less than 1.0.
Bump dotherside to a commit that is on its current master branch. The previous commit and the current commit have the same contents, however the previous commit lived on a branch, and not on the master branch of dotherside.
An attempt to bump nimqml to its master branch commit resulted in an error, which has been logged https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/2275. Instead, the commit change here is the same as dotherside — moving the commit hash from its branched version to the commit that lives on the master branch line. However, as mentioned already, it is not at master HEAD due to the error.
The popup to invite friends to communities has so far always been a brand new
popup that's opened on top of possible existing popups.
The design however, expects that the same section should be shown as part
of a wizard-like process inside of the existing community profile overview
popup, when entered from there.
This commit extracts the invite friends popup section into component that
can be reused as stack view, as well as modal content, to implement both
scenarios.
This commit changes a bunch of things related to ui bugs in the community
profile popup. Fixes include:
- Removing the `Delete Community` option since this functionality isn't implemented yet
- Changing the color of the menu item's icons in dark mode to be blue
- Doing the same in the memberlist popup
There's a regression in the application where kicking members from communities
doesn't work anymore. This was due to UI logic being moved to a different model
without updating the corresponding view action.
Fixes#2274
This adds a `Publish` stage to the combined `Jenkinsfile` which when the
`PUBLISH` parameters is true pushes a __draft__ release to GitHub.
The job remembers the last value of `PUBLISH` parameter selected.
The release uses the contents of the `VERSION` file at the root of the
repo as the name for the release, and leaves the contents to be filled
in by whoever will approve the release.
The automation overwrites - or to be exact, deletes and recreates - the
release, so releated builds for the same release will simply re-create
it. All the built artifacts are included in the release.

Prior to this commit, only admins of a community could open up the community
profile popup from inside the community. However, normal members should be able
to do so too.
Normal members shouldn't be able to create channels, nor should "leave
channel" be an option of the context menu provided inside of a community.
This commit removes these.
As discussed in https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/2144#issuecomment-817791172 and https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/discussions/2145, it's no longer desired
to have different appearance settings across multiple accounts.
Instead, the appearance setting should apply globally to all accounts,
essentially bypassing the individual setting stored in status-go.
This commit introduces a new global setting called `theme` which,
at the time of introducing this commit, can be either:
0 => Light
1 => Dark
2 => System
Because those enum values matches the `AppearanceContainer.Theme` enum,
this commit removes it completely and simply relies on QML's built-in
`Universal.[Light|Dark|System] variants respectively.
Closes#2144
This commit introces global settings that apply across accounts used
inside the application. This is useful when settings like the selected
locale should b the same across all accounts.
Closes#2144
Fixes#2050.
This PR contains changes to fix the name validation for new communities and new channels in communities. In the process of updating this, better validation was also added to both popups (create community and create channel), including the prevention of the "Create" button from being enabled until all form fields were valid.
During this process, it was noticed that the community image cropper was not actually cropping the image *in the preview*. Once the community was created, status-go was successfully cropping the image as the user intended. However, the preview thumbnail prior to creation was not accurately showing the cropped image preview and showing the entire image centred instead. *This is still yet to be fixed.* One solution is to upgrade Qt to `5.15` to take advantage of Image QML's `sourceClipRect`.
It's not supported to run `brew update` multiple times simultaenously. A better
fix for this can be implemented, but for now in the Makefile have target
`bottles/pcre` depend on target `bottles/openssl` so that they run serially
when `-jN` is passed to `make`.
I was originally going to change `brew update >/dev/null` to
`brew update >/dev/null || true` but decided the Makefile change provides a
better guarantee that simultaenous `brew` commands won't interfere with each
other. In the process, I revised some of the script's `echo` output just a bit.
Current settings caching logic was inefficient when attempting to retrieve settings that contain the sensitive mnemonic. While those calls were limited to the login logic, each call would need to round trip to status-go to get all settings when they wanted to include sensitive data, as the cache was not being updated for these calls.
This PR updates the cache regardless if sensitive data is requested of not, effectively making the caching mechanism more efficient during login.
Fixes#2131.
After some heavy profiling, it became clear that sending of each message was causing a fetch to get all contacts from status-go. This was incurring a minimum of a 0.03s delay for each fetch, which was causing a bottleneck each time it was called for various operations throughout the codebase.
This code addds a layer of threadsafe caching to the contacts call, such that only the first call to contacts fetching will incur the delay, as well as every fetch after a contacts CUD operation.
There was a bad merge in PR #2225 that caused the QML propery `activeMailserver` in `SyncContainer` to be stripped out. This was causing an error in the console: `qrc:/app/AppLayouts/Profile/Sections/SyncContainer.qml:16: Error: Cannot assign to non-existent property "activeMailserver”`.
This PR adds the property back in and resolves the issue.
