Description Guillaume Desmottes 2010-10-04 00:46:16 UTC

Original bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631289

if there is a slash in the identifier of a contact the previous conversations
are not working because of the direcotry structure.

Comment 1 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2010-12-06 10:43:49 UTC

I don't know how this could happen. The filename is constructed by log_store_xml_get_filename(), where in chat_id the slashes are replaced with underlines, and the same with the account (done by log_store_account_to_dirname()). Any ideas?

Comment 2 Nicolas Dufresne 2011-02-24 09:19:27 UTC

Now the slash replacement is centralized in 0.2 branch. But I do think that this may lead to issue since the retreived entity will not have correct ID. This will prevent matching with existing contact. I think we need to store the entity information somewhere, this would also allow having the Alias and avatar-token when doing a get_entities() or a search().
