So I guess something bad happens:
- When the database is saved.
- When we import directly into the database.
- The import process seems good only when we import from a vcard
(vcard and then using FW addressView?) and again things become bad
while saving (using FW Addresses?)
I checked the code and database save is done using a direct dump of the
dictionary, not much that can go wrong.
Birthdays are working for me. Using my existing database (I use one,
update it on changes, my current "address book");
1) import
- With the help of Lars he sent me a VCF exported from his mac
- the VCF was imported into Address Manager quite well, including
images, phones, addresses, emails with Phone and Home distinction, added
notes
- on application exit I let the AddressManager save the DB
- I reopen, the data is there, Birthday is correct compared also to the
VCF file
2) direct creation
- created John Doe with DOB 26/07/1965 (safe date and order, cannot be
misinterpreted month-day)
- quit & save
- reopen check John, the date is correct!
3) export John suing "export"
check generated card has:
BDAY:1965-07-26
which is correct
4) delete John & reimport
Date of Birth is still correct.
This, plus previous tests of past days, make me belive things are quite
stable. I am running and have installed SVN development version of
course, please be sure you do too.
Please try John Doe! (Attached)
