Support Chinese Name Format: “<Surname> <Given Name>”

Reported by: transalpin Assigned to: nobody

Description

There is an option in Address Book which allows you to put the surname in front of the given name(s) for some single entries (while default mode remains “<givenname> <familyname>”). This is especially useful for Chinese contacts. When selected, also other apps like Mail recognize this preference. However, Adium doesn’t. Probably not a huge bug for most Westerners, but sometimes it would be nice to see the name displayed correctly, so you can just copy&paste it when you start a conversation. Hope it’s easy to fix. 謝謝.

Change the name format in Preferences->Advanced->Address Book to what you want :)

That's a global setting. transalpin is asking Adium to honor the per-contact setting (yes, Address Book allows that, and the Address Book API allows to read that information).

So "First Last" becomes "Last First".... what happens in the other global settings? Nothing? 

if (([[person valueForProperty:kABPersonFlags] intValue] & kABNameOrderingMask) == kABLastNameFirst) {
   if (theDisplayStyle == FirstLast) {
	theDisplayStyle = LastFirstNoComma;
   }
}

If the global setting matches the local one, nothing happens. If they differ, you have to switch.

Yes, but there are other global settings which aren't a mirror image of "Last First." There is, for example First Last-initial. I don't think swapping that to Last-initial First makes much sense....but then I wouldn't use this functionality. Does it?

(In [24305]) Respect the 'last name first' per-contact setting which can be set in the address book. Fixes #10327
