I'm sure that's a limitation we could fix. Is there a bug against the address book app for that? > Was the possibility of allowing direct AddressBook DBus and QtContact > accesses gated by a nice Allow/Deny dialog like we now have for the camera? > > This would be easier both for developers and friendlier for users IMHO. > Am I missing a reason why this is not possible technically? It is possible technically, but our security choice was to never allow blanket access to user data. It's too easy to just go Allow without considering the consequences. Long-term a user-friendly approach I hope we'll get to is allow the user to select (using the content-hub) a group of contacts (one of which could be "All"), and hence forth the app would get access to all of the contacts in that group. As for developer-friendly QtContacts, I think we could transparently back it up with the content hub, getting the best of both worlds. Could use a bug against... qtubuntu? content-hub? for that as well. -- Michał Sawicz <[email protected]> Canonical Ltd.
