Some time weeks ago I used an huge workaround, but it worked. Contacts - Options - Send All.. - (in qtopia it let you choose how send them, select by email) - Don't send the message that pop ups, but save it as draft. Now, get the mail with the contacts attached using: cp /home/root/Applications/qtmail/mail/$(ls -t \ /home/root/Applications/qtmail/mail/ | head -n1) /tmp/contacts.eml (it copies the latest modified mail/sms to /tmp/contacts.eml, you can find the needed file also grepping like this: grep vCard describing multiple contacts \ /home/root/Applications/qtmail/mail/* After you got the mail with the contacts attached, copy it on your PC. If you can handle the .eml files with your mail client, just open it and save the attachment. Otherwise open that file with a text editor and decode the base64 encoded text (under MIME-Version: 1.0) using a tool like this [1] (if you don't want to write down few lines of python/php/c...)

Re: [Om2008.9] How to export Vcf Contacts from FR?
Great! Now I know which client to use, let's play!!! :)
I've spent 15 minutes reviving my SQL (which I had forgotten for at
least 5 years), and this is what I have so far:
*
sqlite3 /home/root/Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite 'Select distinct
nickname, title, firstname, middlename, lastname, suffix, profession,
b_webpage, company, office, department, jobtitle, default_email,
phone_number, h_webpage, spouse, gender, birthday, anniversary from
contacts, contactphonenumbers where
contacts.recid=contactphonenumbers.recid;' | sed 's/|/\t/g'
addressbook.txt
*
This creates an addressbook tab-delimited-file with all the fields I
thought where important for each contact (some info may be missing,
check the columns and tables).
Each contact that has more than one phone number will appear multiple
times because I haven't yet come up with a clean way to show the join
between the contacts and contactphonenumbers tables, so for now it
just duplicates the whole line, with the only difference being the phone
number.
Anyone versed in SQL will be able to hack this into a full VCF file
generator... or you can just go the Python way (but I prefer to use the
nice tools already in place) :)
Your turn! ;)

I found sqlite3 on my desktop pc, which makes things a lot easier. I
think that is included on anyone's Linux box these days, and on
www.sqlite.com/download there are also precompiled binaries for Mac and
Windows. You need sqlite version 3 for the .sqlite files on the FR.
I've been playing a bit with it: copied a .sqlite file from the

it quite easily:

I can imagine a python script on the desktop/laptop that would read all
the dumps, disect all the insert statements, combine the information
based on the recid attribute and after pulling all that together, write
out Vcards.
Note that I am using qtopia. I am not certain if the structure on
OM2008.x is identical. If that is the case, I can imagine a config file
per distribution, mapping attribute-names to the necessary Vcard
entries. (I have a lot of imagination.) You'd then run the python script
with a parameter telling it what config/mapping to use.
I am sure I can write something like that. I am however not sure how
long it would take me, as my order for 36-hour days has still not been
fullfilled. *grin*
