Room avatar not show if room avatar is not set, in "non encrypted room" #8027
Labels
A-Room Avatar
O-Occasional
Affects or can be seen by some users regularly or most users rarely
S-Minor
Impairs non-critical functionality or suitable workarounds exist
T-Defect
Something isn't working: bugs, crashes, hangs and other reported problems
Steps to reproduce
Create a new room, add another user, after room member increased to 2 (accepts the invitation),
Room avatar just show first letter of 2nd user, instead of his avatar.
As a comparison, desktop client nheko will show 2nd user's avatar for these kinds of room.
These kinds of room stand for one to one chat, and without encryption enabled.
If "start direct chat", then a room with encryption enabled will be created,
they are basically the same as the example I just mentioned,
the only difference is encryption (at least in my observed).
Outcome
What did you expect?
What I expect is if a room have only 2 user, for example, me, and "Tom",
on my device, show this room's avatar and name as "Tom"'s avatar and name,
if Tom changed his "room display name" (/myroomnick) to "Tom2",
this room will name as "Tom2" and still have "Tom"'s avatar.
On the other hand, on Tom's device, show this room's avatar and name as "My" avatar and name.
Generally speaking, I'd wish to have something like "start direct chat" without encrypt enabled.
My these gamer not programmer friends are very confusing with encryption.
They may lose their key without backup in one day and messed up everything.
What happened instead?
A room have only 2 members without encryption, only show another person name's first letter, instead of avatar.
