Allow viewing profile information of a contact #2391
Comments
I was actually more concerned about a person's future names (since an alias would obscure those), than past ones. And also, more technical things, like the ID, which isn't a name at all (e.g. If I want to give a contact's ID to someone, so they can talk to each other). But I do see the mention of the user "About" page, which would definitely be needed for this. |

This isn't actually fixed, since you still can't see a contact's current name (Which they have set for themselves), only the alias you've set for them. This should remain open pending #1195 or #1189. There is, however, a workaround now, in that you can copy the set alias to the notes, and set the alias to empty, resulting in the current name being shown. However, I believe it should be shown in the dialog regardless of whether the current alias is set to empty. |
After the profile information of a contact is loaded, the list is updated with the name and (size-reduced) picture, instead of the ID. If you set an Alias (which is necessary to prevent people playing around with names), the name they set for themselves is no longer visible, as pointed out in #1195.
From my experience with certain other programs, I was expecting to be able to right click the contact, and pick "view profile", to see more details, such as the contact's ID, their current name (Not the alias I set), a zoomed-in version of their profile picture, etc. But no such option is present.
As an added bonus, it would be nice if there was a small textbox where I can add notes about a person. It's helpful in instances where you add more people than you are likely to remember in a month or two. This is a common occurrence to me, which I usually solve by going over our chat history, but sometimes I just want to add a little note specifying who this person is, and why I've added them.
