Description Elias Probst 2012-03-18 12:10:30 UTC
Currently, the logviewer shows only the accountnames of contacts in the listing on the left.
This makes it hard to find the history of a contact of which you probably only know the real name, e.g.
account: uB3rl337|-|aXX0r@im-provider.tld
real name: John Doe

My personal use-case:
Our company uses shortnames for XMPP-accounts, e.g. "Elias Probst" becomes "ep@company.com".
I'd prefer to be able to filter by the real-names of my colleagues instead.

The filter below should still filter also by accountname.

Thanks for your remarks. This issue has been fixed recently by commit d7cc5c8 [0]. The list view has been converted to a per-account tree view and contact's real name (or alias) is shown.

Filtering by both account name and real name was added by commit 3a3a945 [1].
