Bug 424940

Good idea indeed.
But it seems that windows 10 doesn't store contacts here.
But I will add this support in kaddressbook.

Do you use windows 10 ?
With which application ?
Regards

Hi,
could you told me which apps do you use ?
Or sending me in private others contact file please ?
I need more testcase.

Thanks

I actually use Linux full-time, but I encounter contacts folders when migrating clients over to Linux. I believe Outlook and some other Microsoft apps used to store contacts in there. Windows 10 does not, opting instead to use the People app which, while being a desktop app, requires logging into a web version to export contacts.

The main reason this is valuable is because all the people who upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 have a contacts folder, and it's not unlikely that there are contacts in it that they might want in the event they switch to Linux or require data recovery. I opened this feature request after a client came to me with an old laptop running Windows 10 on a failing drive with several hundred contacts in the folder.

I'm attaching some contact files with the real info replaced in a text editor.

Created attachment 130646 [details]
Sample .contact file with name and email address

Created attachment 130647 [details]
Sample .contact file with separate fields for name, last name, and first name

Created attachment 130648 [details]
Sample .contact file for a contact with only an email (no name)

Created attachment 130649 [details]
Sample .contact file for a contact with an embedded base64-encoded .BMP profile picture

I implemented import support.
If you have some testcase with IM address or physical address or phone number etc you can send me it so I can confirm that all works as expected.

Thanks.
