direct message rooms should use human readable name instead of internal room ID #6

onePinger · 2019-04-17T05:18:36Z

Direct message rooms are displayed using the room id which doesn't display the user name

Instead of displaying Internal room ID: !OTfeVaBRMxLeEkCMvQ:foo.bar.com tag editor should show Unamed_room (UserID)

If only one member is found in a room, set the room name to `Unnamed ($MEMBERNAME)`. If more than one member is found the room name is left as null and the raw Matrix address is used (as previous behaviour). Lazy loading is used so member list is not necessarily exhaustive. The only situation I can imagine this failing is when only one other user has been messaging in a group chat for a long time. To guarantee all members are retrived a request to /members for a specified room would be required (not implemented). Closes turt2live#6

Hello! I wrote a pull request to fix this behaviour: #11

I encountered this when using the EMS account migrator. Direct messages convert to rooms incorrectly, and I found this tool to change them back.
