[gnomeicu-support] Feature: Nickname replacement

[Christian R. <me...@me...>]

Hi!

You wanted feature requests, you get feature requests. I think this one
should be rather simple to add.

When you right-click on a user and select user info, you can change the
nickname/alias displayed in your user list for that contact.

But the only preselected alternatives to chose from are other nicknames
already in your contact list. I don't understand the point of that,
unless you want identical aliases for several different contacts in your
list, but I don't know why that should be useful.

Instead, I propose that one should [also] be able to choose for example
the contact's

Lastname, Firstname
Firstname Lastname

as predefined alternatives in that box, so that this contact will be
shown with his full name in the contact list.

Sometimes I prefer having contacts shown this way - some people choose
incredibly lame nicknames that I don't want displayed ;-)

I know that I can enter exactly what I want shown anyway, but my
suggestion was merely that the alternatives above be added to the
predefined set of alternativs in the drop-down box.
That's by the way how Windows ICQ does it.


Cheers
Christian
