[BitPim-user] Suggestion: categories

[Macs R We <ma...@ma...>]

I have a suggestion for improvement in how BitPim handles categories.

When you tell BitPim to import names from a VCard that belong only to 
categories A, B, and C, it would be nice if BitPim would only import 
category indications for those categories, and not any other categories 
the names happen to belong to.

Example: I use Apple Address Book to manage my contacts.  I have many 
more contacts in the Address Book than I want loaded into my cell 
phone.  So I export the entire Address Book and then ask BitPim to 
import only the categories Cell Family, Cell Businesses, Cell Friends, 
and Clients.

As far as choosing the correct entries, this works fine... but when I 
download my phone (VX5200) I find a raft of extraneous Groups have been 
created (Xmas Card List, Clients With No Email, etc.) because some of 
the chosen names also happened to belong to those groups.  Since I 
didn't ask for those groups to be selected in the import step, it would 
probably be more correct for BitPim not to track them in its database.

Thanks.
