Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: gtk-ui Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Saikat Guha (syncromesh) Assigned to: Richard Laager (rlaager) Summary: Allow local user-defined buddy photo Initial Comment: Allow the local user to set the locally-displayed buddy photo/icon for a buddy. The 'alias' feature allows the local user to locally override/set the server-supplied *buddy name* (which is a good idea since people cram all sorts of junk into their name). Similarly, people cram all kinds of images into their buddy photo (visible in IM windows at the lower left, in the tooltips in the buddy list, and next to the buddy name in a large-format buddy list). If the buddy is putting up random junk, the local user should be able to override it locally with their buddy's mugshot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-09 21:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

Also, the current drag-and-drop functionality would need to be updated to work with your new code. I'd recommend storing a separate buddy icon preference on the buddy, so that when the remote buddy icon changes, you don't lose the local override. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sadrul Habib Chowdhury (sadrul) Date: 2006-09-21 11:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1132702 I am currently working on a patch that adds 'Set Custom Buddy Icon...' and 'Remove Custom Icon' (when approp.) to the context menu of the buddyicon in the conversation window. I am currently doing it from gtkui-only, ie. without doing anything from the core. But it looks more likely that the core is going to need to be aware of custom buddyicons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Laager (rlaager) Date: 2006-09-10 22:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=156487 You can currently do this by dragging an image into a conversation window for that buddy. I think it'll be overridden if the buddy changes their icon, making it mostly useless. I could be wrong though. I'm going to look into this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1555942&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
