Description Jithin Emmanuel 2009-06-25 06:40:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Among my yahoo and gmail contacts not every one's display pics are shown.

But contact image will be shown in contact properties and if I select contact properties and click ok. it will be shown.

Is this still valid in KDE 4.3 or newer?

Comment 2 Jithin Emmanuel 2010-01-03 13:51:43 UTC

It gtalk one its fine. But broken for yahoo still.

Comment 3 Matt Rogers 2010-01-17 05:02:53 UTC

we've made some avatar fixes for Yahoo in KDE SC 4.4. Please reopen if one of those fixes does not address this bug.

Comment 4 Jithin Emmanuel 2010-01-19 07:31:55 UTC

Is the fix part of kde 4.4 rc1? If yes then this bug is not fixed. Kopete in kde 4.4 rc1 has the Photo source options disabled except the Custom one.

Comment 5 Jithin Emmanuel 2010-01-25 05:42:52 UTC

I tried 4.4rc2. Its not displaying contact pictures for all users.

Comment 6 Blingg 2010-02-18 18:54:01 UTC

Tested Yahoo! protocol on KDE SC 4.4.0, same thing...I can't see contact pictures for all users. I also don't see nicknames for any of my contacts, don't know if anyone else is experiencing this.

I'm using KDE 4.5 on Kubuntu 10.04, 

Facebook:
Contact avatars from Facebook (via jabber protocol) are flakey, and don't always load for all contacts - where a contact avatar fails to load, the user can cause it to load by selecting 'user information', then the missing avatar loads.

Yahoo!:
Avatar support not functioning, not possible to choose avatar, not shown in user information.

Windows Live Messenger:
Avatar support functioning correctly.

GaduGadu: 
No avatar support - see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210059

Skype:
No avatar support (but API means it should now be possible - Pidgin has it).
See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221537 (which should now be re-opened).

Hello from the KDE Bugsquad!

Unfortunately, Yahoo has discontinued the Yahoo Messenger service, and the code has been removed from Kopete.

Thus, I am closing this bug as "UNMAINTAINED" since it will no longer be fixable, or able to operate due to Yahoo.
