in the "edit contact name" dialog (accessible from "contact profile"), it is a bit unclear, how "Name" us used:
we prepared the following strings for enhancement (this requires the strings to be updated first):
- use string
edit_name_placeholder
as a placeholder for the input field ("test" in the screenshot) - use
edit_name_explain
as text below or above the input field - both strings take the result of
dc_contact_get_auth_name()
as a parameter. if empty, usedc_contact_get_addr()
. do not use the "display name" 1
the email address and layout can stay as is.
cave: existing strings and placeholders should still be used when the dialog is used as "add contact manually" for non-chatmail accounts
compare deltachat/deltachat-desktop#4090 and deltachat/deltachat-android#3254

-
the "display name" may be the nickname, this is fine nearly everywhere else and indeed the preferred method to display a name - but not in this special case :) ↩
