Enhancement: Update Algorithm to create default Avatar for Pàdé

[gjaekel]

Update the algorithm for choosing the Initials for the default avatar introduced in "OFMeet". This will respect the common European syntax for display names ("lastname, firstname" -> "FL")

As a copy of the changes for "meetings", I made a verified patch for plugins/pade/classes/docs7inverse/index.js for function _createAvatar(), but I can't locate this file in the sources?!

See

pade/docs/inverse/index.js

Line 1749 in f828f42

function _createAvatar(nickname, width, height, font)

[gjaekel]

I see, source for Pàdé is at this repo. 😄

[gjaekel]

I found the identical code at

pade/docs/js/background.js

Line 1591 in f828f42

function createAvatar(nickname, width, height, font, force)

?!? Is this used or is it an artefact?

Yes.

But I don't change js/background.js::createAvatar(), just inverse/index.js::_createAvatar() to see the expected results.
