Tdesktop: [Feature Request] Remove Pinned Chats limit

[hadi77ir]

Currently, pinned chats are limited to 5, but someone may have 100+ chats, of which he wants 10 to be pinned.

Please remove this limit. (I'm thinking you're using an array with max length of 5, if that's the case, change it to a linked list :D )

It's a server side limit

[madpipeline]

Where do we report the issue for the server then?

[stek29]

@ovidiub13 Twitter or Support (Ask a Question button in settings)

[CodingSpiderFox]

Has this been reported to the server side project?
If so, could you please provide a link to the issue here?

[stek29]

@CodingSpiderFox Server side issues are tracked internally. Even if you get the link you won't be able to view it.

[CodingSpiderFox]

Does that mean the issue was reported?

@CodingSpiderFox I don't know. I personally haven't reported it.

[oxydron]

Wow, this issue is closed. Just 5 pinned chat is so little. I have 9 main groups and 2 of them I need to search on the search field everyday, several times.

[CodingSpiderFox]

Can someone please tell me how to contact the server side maintainers?

[auchri]

@CodingSpiderFox https://twitter.com/telegram or in app support.

[CodingSpiderFox]

Reported it via in-app support. By the way: I was told that this is the official way to report server side issues.

"(Here in this chat is the official way for suggestions by the way. The app developers normally don't comment on such things.)"

[warshell]

This is really absurd.

The Telegram X app source code:

/org/thunderdog/challegram/TGDataManager.java/updateOption()

[CodingSpiderFox]

Can you explain what in detail you mean by saying absurd and why?

[warshell]

@CodingSpiderFox

• There is no filter / groups in the telegram so the whole list with bots, people and chans are the big mess, sometimes i even miss a messages from the people in this trash, i even created a second account for the groups, to use on another phone, but its another story
• Why to limit up to 5 pins if there is such awful filter options ?

[oxydron]

Tabs for people, groups, bots and channels. No pin limit.

[DoJoMast3r]

Atleast 20 pins!!! 5 is crazy

[oxydron]

No pin limit.

version 1.3.9 telegram desktop ubuntu
and there are pin limit !!

[oxydron]

Wow seriously that tabs to simplify out things and no pin limit is a bad idea? Ok, it's better to scroll for people, groups, channels and bots on a single list and a nice 5 pin limit.

[221V]

you say "no pin limit"
but there are pin limit !!

maybe you write your thinking not fully correctly ))

[3xploiton3]

Need this feature, please update

[warshell]

Open Sesame!

[Torrichel]

Same there. @TelegramBackendTeam, please, remove 5 pinned dialogs limit.

Hi dev team, it has been over a year since I posted my issue in regards to this explaining the common sense behind having multiple pin options and being able to sort them (a year) https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/4037

And 2 years since the OP here did it. I have no clue why, even at the server side someone though that 5 as a max was enough. Same reason am guessing at one point bill gates thought 640kb of ram was enough. So please solve this rather simple issue. I do not think the way the code was done in the server and the way it was programmed was done in a non future proof way to not solve this months ago.

As a note if server side is troublesome to implement - make client option to pin chats as you like - cause yes common sense is that it`s extremely comfortable to have at hand and see changes on persons/channels chats you like

[SevakAvet]

Guys, I understand there's a server-side limit, but as a compromise, why not to raise this limit client-side even though those chats won't be synched? As mentioned before in many comments, not everybody needs sync. I'd be totally fine with 5 synched chats and the rest just pinned in desktop app. Thanks!

[Dimensionsofahimsa]

It's impossible for me to use Telegram without more than 5 pinned chats

[luisalvarado]

Hi guys, just in case this issue is linked to issue #6697 but that one is linked to this one, so which one is the actual one?

[RememberTheAir]

@luisalvarado #6697 has been closed because as a duplicate of _this_ issue. This issue has been closed because tdesktop is not going to change the limit as long as the API does not change it

[RememberTheAir]

@Neurotoxin001 there is a limit of chats you can pin, the API won't accept any request trying to pin the 6th chat on your list - and the max number of pinned chats is also passed to the clients when they ask for the server config. The clients you mentioned just ignore whatever limit the API wants you to respect, but obviously by doing that they cannot sync the chats the users pin if they want to pin more than 5
