[RFC] Import contacts from KDE Connect
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Hey Sink people!

D9691 is adding contact synchronization to KDE Connect. Therefore it stores the phones contacts as vcard files on the disk. Could this be used for a "import contacts from phone" feature?

Hey,

Sorry for the late reply, I have missed this ticket.

We currently only have carddav support, so the question is how that feature would work exactly.

What would be possible is:

  • Write a vcard resource that loads contacts from a file. I'm not particularly interested in this solution as I think it would't be a good solution for the majority of users.
  • Write a sinksh import command. This would be a commandline only import utility that is integrated into sinksh and allows the user to import a vcard. I think this would be a great addition to sinksh.
  • Expose an import functionality in Kube. Something that we could plan for in the long run, but I think it will have to wait for a bit at least.

All options can be discussed of course.
