Description jens 2009-09-05 11:53:43 UTC

Version:           0.70.90 (using Devel)
Compiler:          msvc2008 x64
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Pictures of avatars aren't visible and I cant 
set an avatar to my user account. The reason is that kopete fails to 
write down the avatar as png in my user profile. I can see the complete 
folder structure under:
c:\users\[myuser]\appdata\roaming\.kde\share\apps\kopete\avatars\

but when writing the image to the disk the path looks like:
D:\c:\users\[myuser]\appdata\roaming\.kde\share\apps\kopete\avatars\User\50ebb0ef48852b1f0fa7f48ff7750ff3.png 
(thanks to Process Monitor)

According to Ralf Habacker from the windows team this is an path() vs. toLocalFile() issue. I tried to replace all occurrences of path() with toLocalFile() in kopeteavatarmanager.cpp and the issue is (at least for me) resolved.

Awesome. Thanks for the patch. When I get it committed, I'll close the bug.

fixed with one of my KUrl::path() -> KUrl::toLocalFile() changes
