User Picture

[jancborchardt]

Every user having a profile image would incredibly improve the overall experience especially for sharing files.

• The pictures would be shown in the sharing dialog, so you can quickly tell people apart.
• They would be shown inline in the Files app so you can see who has access to the file.
• Your own picture would be shown on the top right next to your name when logged in, because we all know you like seeing a picture of yourself.

We just need to have a function in the personal settings for adding and displaying a photo. (As a fallback or for initial population, it could take the email address and query http://gravatar.com and https://www.libravatar.org/, although querying a 3rdparty service might not be good.)

Good idea

[jancborchardt]

@kadukeitor you developed the User Photo app: http://apps.owncloud.com/content/show.php?content=154679 Are you interested in integrating this directly into the personal settings page of the ownCloud core? I think it would be really cool to have this!

For oC6 the Contacts app can have different backends - one could be local users, which I think we should focus on.

[kadukeitor]

I think it would be great .. :)

@jancborchardt @kadukeitor @raghunayyar is currently working on the user management - shall we integrate this feature right away? No need to push it to the 'old stuff'

[jancborchardt]

Right, user management needs pictures too. @raghunayyar let’s do it! :)

But regarding pushing it to the old stuff – it still needs to be exposed and changeable in the personal settings of each user, as well as callable by sharing for example.

[raghunayyar]

@kadukeitor Can you get this in? It shouldn't take much time. I will integrate with the User Management, right away. (allready reserved a column for it :v:)

[jancborchardt]

@raghunayyar you probably got that but just to be sure: the user photo should be the leftmost column, just like in Contacts. :)

[raghunayyar]

@jancborchardt it is, its in the mockup too ;)

[jancborchardt]

What’s the status on this? @kadukeitor are you interested in getting this into core?

This will be so awesome thanks to the work of @Kondou-ger! If you like to test it @kadukeitor please have a look at #4506
