Today I tested: Contacts Importer
My starting point was 200+ contacts as schema valid LDAP data in LDIF format.
I thought the easy way to do this would be: import as a new address book into Thunderbird, then export address book as VCF, then scp the VCF file to the Librem 5, then use Contacts Importer.
And that did basically work. Certainly saved a lot of error prone typing!!
On the other hand, the original content wasn’t perfect and, as expected, the GIGO principle applies.
Other comments:
- Thunderbird produced VCF 4.0 and I wasn’t sure whether Contacts Importer would support that version, but it seemed to go OK.
- Company contacts, as opposed to individual contacts, all imported with a unique name of the form
system-address-book:pas-id-uuidand I had to key in the name by hand (but that’s not so important - I was more worried about error prone typing in phone numbers). The actual problem crept in during the Thunderbird step.
I’m declaring victory on that.
