Move avatar icon generation from mailnag-gnome-shell to a mailnag plugin

Open pulb opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Move the avatar icon generation code from mailnag-gnome-shell (aggregate-avatars.vala) to a mailnag plugin.

  • The generated icons should be stored in a volatile location like /run/user/<current_user>/mailnag/avatars.
  • Icons should have the name of the associated email address.

Benefits:

  • The mailnag-gnome-shell extension published to extensions.gnome.org currently does not support avatar icons (because uploading binaries like aggregate-avatars is not allowed). This would change if mailnag itself would provide avatar icons.
  • The libnotify plugin could show those icons in a notification.
  • Other extensions/programs could use the generated icons.
  • mailnag-gnome-shell would be javascript only (no more compilation/installation steps required).
