Description Guillaume Desmottes 2012-04-24 06:17:29 UTC

I just wated ~one hour of my life debugging a TpContact avatar "issue". Turned out I was asking for TP_CONTACT_FEATURE_AVATAR_DATA to my factory but not TP_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CONTACTS so I wasn't getting the avatar (but was getting the TpContact from the TpChannel making it harder to catch).

If a reasonably experienced Telepathy developer wastes so much time on this, there is probably something wrong with this API.

I've made a suggestion about this for 'next' in bug #49371 comment #5
