#1 Ability to add NAB groups to contact list

[Kieren Johnson]

Great work on the plugin.

The sametime client allows you to select a group from
the Names and Address Book and this automatically adds
all the users who are in that group.

I would love to see this functionality in the ST plugin
too.

THis would be a killer feature for this plugin - it makes Trilian
usable for larger Enterprise Environments - It should have the
highest priority!!!!

Indeed, I had to add almost 80 people by hand, which is
doable, but not much fun :-)

4 of us use Pro and use Sametime for our internal IM.
Manually adding users isn't too much of a problem, but is
always something left forgotten to keep current. As a result,
new employees, constractors, etc. don't get added to our IM
users. We would find very useful the ability to simply add a
NAB list and as that was updated by IT, our Trillan lists get
updated.

I would love to see this feature added. It seems as though the greatest challenge would be multiple occurrences of a contact (a single contact appearing in multiple groups).

For those who are interested, the easiest way to get all your contacts into Trillian is to export a contacts .dat file from Sametime and import it in Trillian. The plugin does support the data format, though it ignores groups. The nice thing about this is that once you have all your contacts loaded and in groups, loading in an updated contacts file adds the new contacts wherever you want, and skips all the contacts you already have... I load them into a 'new contacts' group and deal with each as needed.
