Add "Cancel invitation" option (formerly: Resend an invitation to contact to join a group swarm)

Bug report and feature request

Device A

• Platform: Linux
• OS version: Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon
• Jami version: 202406271943
• Distribution channel: Jami.net Beta

Device B

• Platform: Windows
• OS version: Windows 10
• Jami version: 20240515
• Distribution channel: Jami.net Beta

Further information

• Account-related devices: single
• Can you reproduce the bug: at will

Steps to reproduce (STR)

Dot points 1 to 3 refer to the screenshot.

0. Add a participant to a group swarm. They don't receive the Jami group invite as their Windows version of Jami was 202204... (yes, April 2022 over 2 years old). They install the Windows Jami beta; however, they don't see the invitation to join the group swarm.
1. In the Add participants their name does not show as an invitation has already been sent.
2. There is no option to resent and invitation in the right-clicking on the their name in the Details panel.
3. Can a Cancel invitation please be added to contacts that have not accepted an invitation, eg Invited, Banned, Blocked and Kicked?

Actual result

1. Group swarm invitation request does not seem to arrive to a person if they don't have a recent version of Jami.
2. Once a contact updates their Jami version to a recent Jami version, they still do not receive the Jami invitation to a group swarm.

Expected result

1. Group swarm invitation should arrive to people who have not accepted an invitation if they are not blocked, kicked or banned.
2. Allow resending group swarm invitations to people who have not accepted an invitation.

What do you think?

Thank you

This issue has been reproduced twice from Device A (Linux computer) which sent the invitation and two different Device B (both Windows 10) which are 2 physical people.

A "Cancel invitation" for group swarms would enable a workaround if a contact does not receive the invitation. Seemed to have happened when contacts using Device B (Windows 10) were offline when the invitation was sent from contact using Device A (Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon).

"Cancel invitation" does not seems necessary for 1:1 swarms as right-click on contact and select "Remove conversation" works; however, if sending an invitation and then "Remove conversation" still sends the connection to that contact, perhaps it would be beneficial to add a "Cancel invitation" to 1:1 swarms if the contact has not yet accepted the invitation request.

What do you think?

Thank you

I think you should also keep in mind you can use your own account on multiple devices: If one device is faster and does other things (because it might be offline for a few seconds) the daemon should have rules?

For contacts who have been sent an invitation to to group swarm and have not accepted the invitation, i.e. "Invited" is shown next to the contact, should the right-click menu have:

1. A "Cancel invitation" option please be added?
2. The "Block contact" option please be removed?
3. The "Kick member" option please be removed?

If the "Cancel invitation" option is select, should:
4. The contact be removed from the list shown in Details, Members?
5. That member be reinstated in the list shown when clicking on the "Add participants" icon in the top-right? This should enable re-sending an invitation.

Thank you

Does this help with the resolution of #1673 (closed)?

Adding a "Cancel invitation" option will also help when an incorrect contact is selected from the "Add participants" drop-down. The incorrect person will not need to be banned/blocked/kick, they can just have the invitation cancelled.

The swarm member list shown in the Details panel will also be cleaner as there will be less members who are banned/blocked/kicked.
