Hi, Yesterday we merged profile support into the master of Ring GNOME, so now all the desktop clients support profiles.
A profile is basically just a vcard representing the user. You can set the name and image you wish people to see when you contact them. For now this profile is only transmitted (via the text messaging system) when you make a call to someone. Now, when users first install Ring, they will be prompted to choose an image (from the camera or a file), though they are not required to do so. Users with Ring already installed will have a "default" profile created. All users can change the name and image in the settings. Note that currently the default profile will have the name "Default"... I feel that this should be changed so that no name is set and thus the account alias is transmitted as before, instead of "Default", but this is the current implementation in master. Currently all accounts are associated with the same profile, although nothing prevents us from implementing support for multiple profiles in the future. This is a new feature, so there will surely be various bugs and desired improvements. Thanks! -stepan _______________________________________________ Ring mailing list [email protected] https://lists.savoirfairelinux.net/mailman/listinfo/ring
