Yes, would be an option - Better than nothing I guess - Thank you!

Did you try to receive the pictures on your Desktop PC? Did that work? If it doesn't work either the problem is something else, not Signal on your PinePhone.

Yes, in the Signal-Desktop-App on my Linux-Desktop-PC (Kubuntu) it works, I see sent images there. Hmmm... Huh

@zetabeta & @shulamy:
Because it seems not to be a general problem according to Pelecanus - Does your "Signal-Desktop-App on PinePhone" show images someone sent you?

i use x86-64 laptop (with debian/linux) for both signal-cli and signal-desktop-app. both work fine. getAttachment also works, and files are stored locally, assuming command receive has been done.

maybe i test signal-desktop-app in a pinephone, but not immediately.

edit: adding debian/linux laptop
edit: typo

Ah, my fault sorry, I got you wrong somehow then. Smile

@picture problem: I also can't sent pictures on my PinePhone (takes forever, nothing happens). Really strange. On PC all is still good, recieving, sending... It's like some other package/framework/... used by Signal is missing on my PinePhone/Mobian, but I don't know what it is.

@dante404 Did you see this issue?: Since 6.19.0 I am not able to handle images and attached files
It seems other people have the same problem with Signal Desktop on ARM. Unfortunately no solution so far.

Edit: there is also some discussion in the Mobian matrix room.

you are right. signal-desktop 6.20.0 gave me blurred picture (in mobian)

i will try to finish signal-fli install and check if it is better

@Pelecanus & @shulamy :
Ah, thank you very much for the infos! Smile

At least I can stop searching for a problem at my specific install/system now. Wink

Hopefully there will be a solution.

it seems that you use desktop app? do you use arm64 or x86-64 version?

i use x86_64 version and desktop app with 6.28.0 version and attachments and images work fine.
