Do you have more infos about it ?
Which application do you use on windows7 ?
Where is stored ?
Sorry I ask you because I create "importwizard" in 4.9 which allows to import data/settings/addressbook etc. and I need more infos.
thanks for your help.
Comment 2 Ivan Kouvykov 2012-06-09 16:25:03 UTC
Application is a standard Windows Contacts (presinstalled on Win7)
Each contact is stored in a separate *.contact file.
All files are stored in C:\Users\"USERNAME"\Contacts windows directory.

There are a few spec details there http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735869.aspx

Then http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735778.aspx claims that "New applications should not use this set of interfaces"
Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2012-06-10 08:37:54 UTC
Oki thanks for infos.
Will study it.
"New applications should not use this set of interfaces" so We will need to support it to import contact but we need to develop and other import api for future.
Ok will study at it for 4.10.
