differ between users and external participants

[mokkin]

There should be an option to differ between nextcloud users and external contacts from addressbooks when adding participants.
The user in the example is a nc user but also has an entry in the addressbooks. Maybe there could be a symbol and/or the user picture to see the difference.

I actually don't think we should show an indicator.

In a case, where there is an user with the identical email address as a contact, it should only show one of them, not both. (At the end of the day, it doesn't matter which one it shows, because we only put the email into the ics data anyway).

@tcitworld @jancborchardt Any objections?

Indeed.

Don't we want to allow directly referencing Nextcloud users through DIR at some point ? Would allow having avatars, and same kind of menu we have in files on users avatar to create a direct talk room.

wether email and/or user should appear or not, I don't know, I'm no UX/UI expert.

But currently, it is different in files and in calendar, I think the experience of sharing to:

• user
• contact
• email
• federated user
  should be similar on these 2 apps (and on all apps in an ideal world).

It currently is not.

Users / contacts are de-duplicated these days, and we show an icon if it's a team. I think this can be closed as the original issue is from version 2.x when latest is 5.0.0
