When I looked at g-contacts closely before Oneiric's release, it did not do anything empathy's contact list could not do, and it was very rough still.
I installed 3.3.90, and I must say I'm shocked how poorly designed this program is. When you start it the first time, you get a totally unintelligible setup screen with two unobvious choices where to keep your contacts, and two misplaced buttons which at first appear to be a menu. (attaching screenshot). The main window has a very poor layout, tons of empty entries, and it does not show much information. (attaching screenshot). Frankly, this is not an app I want to see in our default install. Evolution has a much better UI to manage contacts. If the new empathy needs this, I strongly suggest to keep the current empathy version and backport some bug fixes, or revert the removal of empathy's builtin contact list. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833383 Title: FFe: [MIR] gnome-contacts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-contacts/+bug/833383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
