lazy display picture retrieval

Post by bishop »

i was wondering if it would be possible some time in the future to have a feature added which can be enabled so that adium does not grab display pictures from contacts unless a conversation window is opened by the contact, their client requests my display pic or if i open a conversation window

?

i asked for msn because some users have plugins which tell when a window is opened and by grabbing display pics it shows the same as if a window was opened
and makes us look like stalkers
could have other benefits too but maybe it can be added as an option if its not too hard?

aMSN removed that feature at least 8 months ago, that may be someone with an old version. Now the window only open if someone start typing.
