inconsistent names for contacts #187

Open hannesm opened 6 years ago

hannesm commented 6 years ago

since #182 is merged, the contact list now contains the name or alias instead of the jabber id.

unfortunately the log still contains the jabber id, and the sorting in the contact list is based on the jabber id (which makes it hard to find if you alias foo@bar.com to a)

/cc @TealG I reverted your PR #182 in #189 due to several shortcomings:

it's not intuitive to me how to unset an alias (/alias without any argument seems to work fine)
I fail to find a way to unset a name (which is the server-side preserved nickname for a contact)
sort etc (including /go) still works on xmpp ids, rather than names
needs documentation in README.md

these issues first need to be thought through and properly addressed
