Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Stephen Touset (phleg) Assigned to: Tim Ringenbach (marv_sf) Summary: Chat window should use contact alias Initial Comment: Gaim allows for multiple accounts to be grouped as a single "contact". This contact can then be aliased, which is incredibly useful. However, when chatting with a buddy, it still uses their username in the conversation. I would think that the correct behavior would be to default to displaying the contact alias in the chat window if no alias is available on that specific account. For example, say I have a contact named Bob Dole, who uses the accounts [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I attempt to send Mr. Dole a message, the chat window will be titled "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (of course, depending on which account is prioritized). It should display Bob Dole, rather than the account name. However, if I have the same setup, but with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account aliased to Mr. Dole, then conversations with him on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] should display as Mr. Dole, and the conversations on [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be listed as Bob Dole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-11 13:02 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.
