Whisperfish - The unofficial SailfishOS Signal client

We slipped a broken profile page to the release, that would be on me, sorry about that!

Luckily, this is something that can be fixed on-device. In order to do it, however, you have to be familiar with Terminal, devel-su and text editing:

devel-su nano /usr/share/harbour-whisperfish/qml/pages/ProfilePage.qml

Go to line 281 and edit it like so:

From: visible: numericFingerprint.text.length > 0
  To: visible: numericFingerprint.text.length > 0 && !isOwnProfile

Then comment out (or remove altogether) line 278:

From: visible: !isOwnProfile
  To: // visible: !isOwnProfile

Save the file and restart Whisperfish. Now you should be able to access the profile page again - this time with the new feature of being able to edit your own name in your profile.
