Buddy Icons from Address Book bug
Posted: Wed May 04, 2005 3:16 pm
I've had some weirdness with buddy icons not always appearing for MSN contacts, but I won't go into that right now because the bug I'm definitely seeing now is to do with using icons from the address book.
I had Adium (this is with 0.80) set up to use icons from the address book if there was no buddy icon supplied by the contact (I assume that's what it means when you leave out the check in the box that says 'even if they already have an icon'). For one contact in particular it imported an icon from the address book. Fair enough. However, when I turned this option off, the address book icon is still there, although I know the contact in question has his own buddy icon set on his client.
This is a little odd.
The other thing that's odd is that I've used the image selector in address book to crop and zoom the image a bit. It shows up fine in address book, but in Adium it's still in its original format. I don't know if you can do anything about that, but I thought I'd mention it.
