[Bitpim-devel] How to handle speed dial index

[Stephen W. <sa...@us...>]

As I prepare to get up the nerve to let my Sanyo 4900 modification to
Bitpim write to my phone, I wonder how Bitpim should handle Speed dial
indices.  The speed dial index will be overwritten unless I explicitly
write it out.  OK, so I only have 8 speed dial slots on the phone which
will take about 2 minutes to recreate by hand, but why not get it right?

If bitpim can save a speed dial index along with the phone book, then
this pretty much solves the problem.

If it is not planned for bitpim to save a speed dial index (or if one is
writing a phonebook to a phone where that phonebook doesn't have a speed
dial index), I thought that the speed dial could be handled as follows.

1.  Before writing to the phone, read the speed dial index.
2.  Remove speed dial entries that don't have a corresponding number in
the phonebook being written to the phone.
3.  Write out the edited speed dial list.
