User-provided avatars

[bronger]

I'd like to have the possibility to set avatars for users with a bad or no avatar. I attached a patch in which avatars in the cache which end in "_local" take precedence over the contact-provided avatars. It doesn't change the GUI yet but it is already working if you copy the avatars into the cache directory manually.

Is this the right way? In particular, are there yet other places where I must look for the "_local" files?

this sounds like the good way to do it. good luck for the GUI

[bluegraydragon@…]

how far are you with the gui for this feature? Been looking for something like this for ages ;)

No, I've been lazy. While the non-GUI code itself is working and well-tested, I'm a wxWidgets guy and GTK is all Greek to me. So don't hold your breath.

(In [8092]) add ability to set an avatar for a contact. fixes #2967

Thanks a lot.

The attached patch solves an issue on the Windows platform and adds support for local avatars in tooltip popups.

Is there a possibility to "unassign" an avatar?

[bronger]

Right-click on it.

(In [8094]) [bronger] make force avatar work under windows. see #2967

[asterix]

(In [8095]) [bronger] show user defined avatar in tooltip too. fixes #2967

[asterix]

right click, or in the dialog where you choose the avatar, there is a clear button too
