Description A. Mosteo 2008-10-11 20:11:06 UTC

Version:           0.60.2 (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-6-generic

I'm not sure if this should go in some existing report, like bug #139115. However, since the identity system seems to have been reworked for KDE 4 and these are reports for the old version, I'm opening a new one.

If this is a bug or a wish is not clear to me. I would expect that the avatar and nicknames of the parent identity would be applied to its children accounts. This isn't happening, at least for MSN and GMail accouns. I also can't find an option to force accounts to use global or identity settings.

Comment 1 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2008-12-11 11:59:19 UTC

I can confirm the problem, to set the nickname and avatar on msn i have to do it from the account's settings and not from the identity's settings.

Comment 2 doc.evans 2008-12-16 00:44:30 UTC

Can't do it for a jabber account, though, since there seems to be no way to set the picture on such an account. So since they don't inherit the picture from the identity, there doesn't seem to be able to set a picture at all for jabber accounts.

Comment 3 Cédric Bellegarde 2009-01-11 13:08:01 UTC

Same bug here, avatar works with msn but not with jabber :(

Comment 4 pedro 2009-01-30 12:26:14 UTC

same here, but changing the avantar on the first tier identity changes none subaccount's avatar.

Kopete 0.70.0

*** Bug 175810 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 6 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2009-06-25 13:32:31 UTC

Ok now it works with msn but still not with jabber

Comment 7 Elias Probst 2009-09-08 18:29:15 UTC

Problem does still exist with Jabber on KDE 4.3.1/Kopete 0.70.90!

Changing it to "bug", as it is IMHO a not-working feature which is expected to work.

Comment 9 doc.evans 2010-01-18 00:58:39 UTC

This comment is rather OT, but I'm a bit puzzled as to how this has been marked as a dupe of a LATER bug. I thought that that wasn't supposed to happen, and that the later bugs were supposed to be marked as dupes of the earlier one? Did that convention get changed?

Comment 10 Matt Rogers 2010-01-18 03:28:50 UTC

no, the convention hasn't changed. we will just mark earlier bugs as 
duplicates of later bugs if later bugs have more information.

Comment 11 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2010-01-18 14:08:55 UTC

Which doesn't seem to be the case for this couple of bugs...
