    "Avatar" vs "profile picture"...

  2. meeeeson

    I'd go with "Profile Picture", an "avatar" I'd expect to have in apps like 2nd life or WoW (I don't play either)

  3. wurstsalat

    Second one is self explanatory

  4. Zash

    https://docs.modernxmpp.org/terminology/ ;)

  5. Zash

    Avatar is what it's called in the protocol, so I guess it's fine for now to call it that in the protocol recommendation page

  6. MattJ

    Yeah

  7. Zash

    Other thing I'd be interested in seeing how it would work out in practice... the under-specified, implied way to publish multiple resolutions and formats, and maybe even multiple avatars.

  8. Zash

    Like I did, mouhahaha ``` <metadata xmlns='urn:xmpp:avatar:metadata'> <info bytes='2231' type='image/png' height='96' id='be6bcdf1adfef04eff8f7b3800ab22784308be74' width='96'/> <info bytes='550' type='image/jpeg' height='64' id='7af26f067f0064980af356384d39497d2294cb26' width='64'/> <info bytes='32074' type='image/jpeg' height='512' id='348d9c179da999dea9bfca6b934d9e1d11531ecb' width='512'/> </metadata> ```

    "GLHF"

  10. Link Mauve

    If that would work, I could add a second version to my avatar.

  11. Link Mauve

    Like an AVIF one, to go alongside the SVG.

  12. Link Mauve

    So that I’d get all clients to support it.

  13. Zash

    Wasn't PNG the single MTI?

  14. Link Mauve

    MTI, but not MTP.

  15. Zash

    But in practice with only one item supported...
