[jitsi-dev] Display Name instead of SIP URI

Hi,

At the moment in Chat window SIP URI is displayed. I would suggest to
change this to "Display Name" (if available in 'From:' header). Please
see PDF below for more details:

Hey Chris,

I'm not a SIP expert, but what happens if James has more than one SIP account and keeps the same display name for all his accounts. Then, if we have a "meta contact" for James in Jitsi, containing all his SIP contacts and we open a chat with him, we won't be able to distinguish the specific protocol contact from which he's writing. In the chat window we explicitly show the protocol contact address and not the display name in order to show which is the exact contact we're writing to at the moment.

Cheers,
Yana

Hey

When I look at Chris' Screenshots again, I think the specific account where a buddy writes from doesn't matter in the notification popup (and in the chat log too). To be able to distinguish multiple accounts we could change the chat window title: instead of showing just the display name or the address, show both. E.g. "James (xyz33441@sip.example.com)"

Ingo

Hi,

In my opinion SIP From header should be handled by User Agents in a
similar fashion as SMTP From header is handled by email clients.

When you receive an email:

From: "Chris Maciejewski" <fgj4s3gs-lab1@ams.edu>

any well behaved email client will show From: "Chris Maciejewski" in
the GUI, not fgj4s3gs-lab1@ams.edu.

When SIP From header is composed from two parts:

"Display Name" <_SIP_URI_>

as the name suggests, "Display Name" should be presented to the human
user, and _SIP_URI_ processed by underlying UA automata.

Just my 2 cents...

Best regards,
Chris

Agreed.

Could you please open an issue for this?

Thanks,
Emil

Hi Chris,

Your patch is now committed (r8776) and ack-ed on our contributors page!

I've just made some minor modifications that fix the same problem when a typing notification is received before the actual message and adds the displayName parameter directly to the createContact, instead of calling renameContact.

Thanks!!!
Yana
