[BitPim-devel] Bug Report - only 4 categories with contacts in Phonebook

[Phillip J. <pjo...@gm...>]

BitPim 1.0.6 - official (same bug noted in 1.0.5)
LG-PM225

Only the first 4 Groups/Categories are correctly associated with
contacts after retrieving information from the phone. A contact that
is associated with the 5th group (or higher) in the phone is displayed
without any Group/Category in BitPim. (First 4 refers to the order in
which groups are listed in the phone, BitPim later arranges the group
names in alphabetical order)

All of the group/category names are correctly downloaded from the
phone. If I edit a contact using BitPim, all of the groups that are
defined in the phone appear in the list of categories in BitPim.

I haven't worked with python before, but I poked around the code a bit
to see if I could find something. In "phonebook.py" there's a section
dealing with categories:

'Category', ("categories", 0,  None, "category", False),
'Category2', ("categories", 1,  None, "category", False),
'Category3', ("categories", 2,  None, "category", False),
'Category4', ("categories", 3,  None, "category", False),
'Category5', ("categories", 4,  None, "category", False),
'Categories', ("categories", None, None, formatcategories, True),

As a naive quick attempt, I tried modifying this code to the following:

'Category', ("categories", 0,  None, "category", False),
'Category2', ("categories", 1,  None, "category", False),
'Category3', ("categories", 2,  None, "category", False),
'Category4', ("categories", 3,  None, "category", False),
'Category5', ("categories", 4,  None, "category", False),
'Category6', ("categories", 5,  None, "category", False),
'Category7', ("categories", 6,  None, "category", False),
'Categories', ("categories", None, None, formatcategories, True),

since I have 6 categories defined on my phone. Alas, my lofty dreams
of submitting a bug-fix at the same time were dashed :-(

Any ideas? or pointers where else to poke around in the code?
