Re: [Osmo-pim-friends] VCard issue; extension proposals (Was: Synchronise Osmo Contacts with External Application)

Hi Albrecht,

Thank you for noticing the issue with the N tag. It is already fixed (in
both trunk and the dbus branch).

I also made a small research awhile ago. There was no decent C/C++ VCard
library.
That's why I implemented VCard printer in Osmo from scratch.
The implementation of the parser is in my todo list but not too high.
So... good luck with that :) probably your best bet is a yacc/bison
based parser.

As for the birth date and multiple phones - that would be quite tricky
to do with the current Osmo model.
I am cooking something big it this area. It will be done first for
Tasks, than - for Contacts and others.
It will greatly simply the extension of the existing model. So I would
rather postpone the phone and dates changes until it is done.
It will also allow us to implement other requested enhancements such as
https://sourceforge.net/p/osmo-pim/feature-requests/140/
 and maybe https://sourceforge.net/p/osmo-pim/feature-requests/138/).

Regards,
  Max
