      Currently only users can set avatars. However, if a user refuses or ignores calls to change their avatar the only recourse is for the administrator to change their password, login as them, edit their profile and then change it to something else and let them know of this. This is incredibly round-a-bout and a bit of a privacy issue. Surely, if I can change a user's details I should be able to change their avatar?

            I just released v1.1.0.0 of the profile photo uploader. It does better face detection and cropping, has a version checker, and a test harness to see how the system will crop and resize your photos.

            Small disclaimer: This works great on my setup. I have not tested it outside of my setup. It should work just fine as I am using the standard API's that come with Confluence, but it is an open source project and I'm not getting paid for it, so I haven't done extensive testing in all scenarios.

            That said, here is a utility I created to upload user photos in batch. You can get the source here ...
            https://bitbucket.org/fredclown/confluence-profile-photo-uploader

            The compiled binary is here...
            https://bitbucket.org/fredclown/confluence-profile-photo-uploader/downloads/ConfluenceProfilePhotos.zip

            Basically you supply the program with a folder where the user photos are. It will pull in all the .jpg,.jpeg, .tif, .tiff, .png, and .bmp files in the folder. The photos must be in this format username.png, username.jpg, etc. Since Confluence profile photos are 48x48 and most photos are not square it will do face detection and then crop the photo unless you specify otherwise(via a checkbox). It has a form mode (just click on the executable) and a headless mode (supply the command line arg /headless) for automating the process. Hope this helps you out.

            Sensible suggestion and really shouldn't be too hard to implement. Also good would be the ability to set a new default avatar.
