It is only mean to be one-way. it was mostly added so that the SMS app knows the contacts. two-way sync would be a lot more complex to implement (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > It is only mean to be one-way. it was mostly added so that the SMS app knows > the contacts. > > two-way sync would be a lot more complex to implement Thanks @Nicholas for the answer. I know about the complexity of a real 2-way sync. However, it would be quite a core functionality of such an application like KDE Connect. Are there plans to to enhance this in the near term to allow optimal integration with KDE PIM? Technically most of the needed is there already, just not the sync.

There is nobody working on adding two-way sync to the contacts plugin. I don't know about KDE PIM, but if other apps wanted to use KDE Connect's vcards, they could use the KPeople library to access them (the same way the SMS app does) (In reply to Simon Redman from comment #3) > (In reply to raguse from comment #2) > > Thanks @Nicholas for the answer. > > I know about the complexity of a real 2-way sync.

It would be a nice feature, though, the direction goes anyway towards full mobile and cloud, instead of Desktop, which questions the usefulness of such sync option nowadays. I see this bug report is status Resolved, so this topic is closed for me. Many thanks and have a nice week/weekend. |
