Sent messages are doubled
Problem:
Sent messages are doubled in 'finch', so conversation looks like it
user a: sent message
user a: sent message
user b: received message
user a: sent message no2
user a: sent message no2
user b: received message no2
First 'sent message' shows immediately in chat window, it is probably local, but then after some time another copy of 'sent message' appears (with different timestamp). It is most likely that second copy of message is sent from the server.
Does anyone else has this issue as well? Plugin was built from c7731614e410d47305761b7dcc88ce5a61e3eeef commit and Finch 2.13.0
Whoops, this should have been on the list of Known Issues - just the way the PulseSMS server is currently set up, we don't have any simple way to check if the message we've sent came from Pidgin or from the website.
At the moment, we either have the option of not displaying self-sent messages from PulseSMS/the phone, or getting the duplicate sent messages. There's also the possibility of not displaying the message sent from Pidgin at all, and waiting for (up to) 60s for the server to tell us the message that we sent, but that wouldn't be a great user experience.
@EionRobb I notice a similar issue with contacts. If I message a contact from my list, I receive the duplicate the message from a second contact, not in my contact list, with the same number. (The duplicate contact is apparently "consistent," though, in the sense that the same contact is always created, judging by message logs.) Could this be explained by the same server configuration issues? I can file a separate issue otherwise.
Excellent plugin, in any case. Your plugins are almost single-handedly keeping Pidgin/Finch useful in the current messaging ecosystem.
Is there an option suppose to be available to not display self sent messages? so it just pulls it from the server? I'm not seeing that option inside the plugin pref.
