disable/improve profile pictures #1

Closed ghtau closed 2 years ago

Please allow for disabling profile pictures and/or add more pictures and make their size much smaller (preferably in the low 10s of kbs instead of 100s).

I don't dislike the idea of profile pictures but currently there are only 10 and they're too heavy. With over 10 accounts in my database, multiple accounts are sharing the same profile picture. I think this defeats one of the main purposes of having them.

...and thank you for this great project. My family used it last year and it was a big hit. They've already told me to get it set up for Christmas this year :)

I do realize that one can change their profile picture to something unique by setting a URL on their profile page. But for one, I don't think it's a great user experience (especially for a bunch of non-technical users) to have the same picture as several other users by default and being required to find and link to another image just so it can be unique. And two, I worry about someone linking to some hideously large image. I'm not sure if it would necessarily degrade performance of the application, but I for one would rather not be using my mobile bandwidth on 5MB profile pictures :)

I think I would prefer just being able to disable them completely.

Done! Update to 1.27.0 and set PFP=false! :)

I'm glad you're finding this useful!
