01[20:18] <darrin> hey
01[20:18] <darrin> anyone here on the dev team?
01[20:20] <darrin> better question: Anyone here?
[20:21] <chithead> an even better question would ask for information and not
for people
01[20:22] <darrin> :) ok im an old fart havent used irc in probably 15 years
01[20:22] <darrin> I used Quteconvert.py (I think was the script name)
01[20:22] <darrin> But it dosent quite suit my needs
01[20:23] <darrin> I am rewriting it probably in bash cuz im more comfy in
bash
01[20:23] <darrin> i was looking for something a little more plaintext for
the wgcard spec than the include files
01[20:24] <darrin> My situation is thus:
01[20:25] <darrin> My company loves me and gave me a [[:used:]] mac white
powerbook
01[20:25] <darrin> im wanting to map my custom field address book export
(vcard group=all)
01[20:26] <darrin> into contacts.xml :)
[20:26] <chithead> probably it is best to write to the mailing list for that
01[20:27] <darrin> so... export mac addrBook --> my script --> nice clean
unified contact entry :)
01[20:27] <darrin> and we all dance and sacrifice an encryption key to the
electron gods
01[20:27] <darrin> Ill hit the Mailing List ;)
To clarify, In the MacOS address book app, I have created custom fields
almost 1:1 of what contacts.xml contains.
I utilized the python script from the dev pages and the resultant output was
less than ideal for my situation.
I am not too familiar with python. (Mild understatement, i can't even spell
it)
Direct import of the addr[[:something:]] native format export from OSX is
beyond my capabilities.
I am planing to create (and share ) a script whos sole purpose is to convert
the vCard2 dump from the dump into wgcard formatted strings and produce
usable entries in contacts.xml.
probably shell or worse case perl
I'd like to find a more human readable spec for the wgcard. Not like a rfc
post or anything but something that would assist in the understanding the
constants and variables.
Direct question of relevance: The <im> sub(?)item
<account>{Some-sort-of-hash-here}</account>
Can that be left blank in contacts.xml and regenerated when qutecom is
reinitialized?
Thank you
