CSV and VCF import support

Hardware Librem 5

The script’s desktop shortcut is marked as adaptive, so it should not be necessary to select “show all apps”

@joao.azevedo i have a file that has say 60 contacts they all are in the same txt file with, this is a use case scenario as i exported all my contacts as vcf file into one file:

--------- file begins length file =
BEGIN:VCARD
magic contact info 1
END:VCARD

BEGIN:VCARD
magic contact info 2
END:VCARD

----------do until end of file = stop, if dupes , skip dupe import, if VCARD detail error skip to next vcard, keep parsing optimistically…

It appears the script does not loop and ends at the first VCARD.

Since these are simple and known delimeters can we do this algorythmically?

I had all my contacts in the one file and it worked.

The only difference I see is that there are no blank lines in the .vcf file that I generated for import i.e.

BEGIN:VCARD
first contact lines
END:VCARD
BEGIN:VCARD
second contact lines
END:VCARD
etc.

@irvinewade you are right it worked mostly! i was to quick and had double imported contacts without scrolling down on the list.

Now if there only was a way to import microsoft marup contact files ending in filename.contact these would be one by one.
