Exporting OM2008 contacts to VCard (was Re: OM2009t4: failure to suspend)

If it works the same way as Qt Extended I just set up an SMTP server and told it to send all contacts by email. Is it possible to handle sms messages in the same way? I doubt it, IIRC they're stored in the Sqlite DB. How does it work with non-latin characters? Not very well I would suspect, I've one contact with a name which was exported with quoted printable encoding, but it just got imported as is to the Paroli database. :-( cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.

I think it said it wrote about 149 contacts out, but that's because many of them have multiple numbers (home, work, mobile, etc). Does it handle a large volume well? It wrote out the file really quickly, I don't think that'd be an issue.. I have over 200 contacts, and up until Om2008.12 my main grips were that I couldn't search contacts and scrolling such a large list was a PITA, That's definitely a problem in Paroli at present, you need to just scroll down the list to find the person you're after. :-( I sort of like the way that Neovento does it where it displays N contacts on a page with arrows to go backwards and forwards in the list, it avoids accidentally selecting a contact for instance. and also that it would have a seemingly randomlyish sorted order (not insertion order, not alphabetical, etc... BUT it had two sets of ordered contacts) As I've rebuild my contact list from scratch this doesn't seem to be too much of an issue for me, though I don't know how it orders the ones in its own DB versus the ones on the SIM. cheers!

Re: OM2009t4: failure to suspend
I've seen this happen once so far in the couple of days I've been playing with OM2009TR4. I hadn't associated it directly with incoming calls - but it's not impossible.
