Hey when you select the menu ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/8/87163d0c5ae423723b7a2caa7792961ec590b7ff.jpeg) Can the user set the profile image here? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/7f46ef7eed8df87892c8dc08e0ea096ef5f4782c.jpeg) If so, how? If not why is it here? If you can then need to indicate to user how it is done. Taking examples of other app designs there is usually text over a blank icon saying ‘set profile image’ once the profile image is set the text is display’none’ ---

It looks like it comes from gravatar. ---

It is just a place to connect an image with an email address. Once you log into glide, it retrieves the image. ---

Thanks, not really what I was expecting. Never mind. I would prefer it if no icon appeared if image has not been set. Perhaps I will add to wish list. Thanks for replying:) ---

It seems to add it if you log in with a Gmail address and have a Google account profile pic (I don’t have a gravatar account but I assume it works the same). What would be ideal is a component called “Profile Image” that would allow the exclusive use for this purpose. Or… in the image field have a condition that sets the image as the signed in user’s profile picture.
