I'm going to publish a service menu using Telegram Desktop instead of telegram-cli. Would it be better for you?

hi
i love to use telegram but i wish to ask you: i did download normally to https://telegram.org/dl/desktop/linux file executive is telegram, so i think if you can add or fix for without "telegram-cli", is it possible?

instead telegram-cli is not good for my company (many users..so installing telegram-cli from github is long time)..

Hi, it's not possible since Telegram Desktop is GUI-only and doesn't have a CLI interface. You can try to fill a request on Telegram Desktop tracker on GitHub asking to add this feature.

Alternatively find a convenient way to install telegram-cli: what's your distro?

for i in $(telegram-cli -C -W -e "dialog_list 51" | tail -n 52 | head -n 50 | cut -d' ' -f2-10 | cut -d':' -f1 | tr ' ' '_')
do
contacts+="$i ";
done;

dest=$(kdialog --combobox Contact: $contacts;)

telegram-cli -W -e "send_file $dest '$1'"

kdialog --passivepopup "File sent to $dest";

exit 0;

Shows more chats and autofills the kdialog combobox with only one variable.
Hope it helps.
