GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 599083
ICQ contacts lack info
Last modified: 2009-10-21 14:07:15 UTC
this report was originally filled at (wishlist): https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/454227 Binary package hint: empathy There's a lot of user info in ICQ: nickname, real name, gender, birthdate, spoken languages and so on. In Empathy, contact information dialog has only ICQ number and nickname. This wouldn't disturb me mostly, but when I set up Empathy to my ICQ account, half of my contact list is displayed as just ICQ numbers, not even nicknames. I have no idea who is who there. It would be nice to get nicknames to be displayed somehow first, because that's what Pidgin does, and because there's no way to use Empathy until it's done. And second, it would be even better to enhance Contact Information dialog a little bit. It would help, for example, when one decides whether to approve authorization request.

Thanks for your bug report. There are 2 bugs here: - Empathy should get information using ContactInfo and display it. This is bug #588922 - telepathy-haze should get these information from ICQ contacts and expose them using ContactInfo. I'm closing this bug as dup of #588922, feel free to open a bug on bugs.freedesktop.org about the Haze issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 588922 ***
