#Slack download profile photo trial
Having spent a couple of days testing out the beta, I’m happy to report back that using the drag-and-drop image upload feature hasn’t caused Slack to crash a single time yet – and I did a fair amount of image uploading during this trial period.Įven better, the beta appears to be running smoothly altogether. The annoying part is that sometimes the bug would get triggered by simply dragging an image over the app – regardless if you meant to drop it in Slack or another app. Every once in a while, when using the drag-and-drop feature to upload images, Slack would crash as soon as you hover an image over its client. But I cant move over this without addressing it in any way.For those fortunate enough not to encounter this bug, let me sum it up for you. Should i just let it pass? Should I speak with the HR and tell them if there is no policy around the picture then atleast now we should have one? I couldn’t find the strength to respond to such amount of hatred. In my request I did mention that it was not easy loosing the person for anyone. Let me add here that this person was not talking to him for more than a year and was infact bad-mouthing both of us. So at the end how much it hurts you to see the picture I have no care in the world as to what you feel. Before he was someone to you he was my friend my buddy my close one. There are people here who've known him for years unlike you just for months. Let me remind you one more very important thing. Slack isnt a platform to make your personal request. And next time please use some judgment or sense as to where you are posting your personal message. So I am sorry your emotions does not matter to me. Your emotions or personal loss does not matter to me simple reason being you are only my colleague not my friend. When I did request very humbly, almost showing my vulnerability that seeing his picture is a constant reminder that he is not with us anymore, this is what my colleague responded with: Putting a picture with him seems like a deliberate attempt to annoy me. Now, this colleague n I do not share a good bond. He n I were in an accident but I survived. My question stems in the fact that one of my teammates has put a picture with my ex boyfriend who died a few months ago. Thank you for some really valid points and your in-depth view on this matter. email, GitHub, etc) for consistency and recognisability across as many platforms and tools as possible. Related to the above, I make a point of using the same image in as many places as possible (e.g. For me, this is probably the most important point. I also think they should remain relatively static - if you change it every week it has much less value in terms of people recognising quickly who the message is from. (In a much smaller organisation I expect that would be less of a problem though.) But also because (as you mention) it doesn't feel appropriate - they don't work here, and they're nothing to do with this communication channel. I also think it's unhelpful to use a photo that includes more than one person - if nothing else it tends to make the details smaller and therefore the image harder to identify/recognise at a glance. because they have the same name or a physical resemblance) using a photo of that celebrity works well! Having said that, when someone has an established association with a celebrity (e.g. I certainly think it's unhelpful for it to be a photo of someone else. I also like the hybrid - cartoonified/caricatured images of the person. But there's also a good number of image avatars. (At lets face it, whatever it is will ultimately come to represent you, or at least be associated with you, pretty quickly anyway!)Īt my company I'd estimate that most people use a photo of themselves - some quite straightforward headshots and some with a bit more personality to them. I think this will vary somewhat between organisations depending on their size, sector and to some extent leadership at various levels.īut overall I think yes, it should represent "you" in some way, though that doesn't mean it has to be a photo of you.
