Yes currently only by display name.

What do you mean about business names?

Well it's a compromise between simplicity in the UX and supporting the rfc as good as possible. The current implementation parses the formatted display name after a basic, western style first name, additional names and last name and doesn't deal with pre- and suffixes. I explained some of the reason in https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/693 You also have to take into consideration that this is a relatively simple web app, that is supposed to work sufficiently for the vast majority. It still needs a lot of polishing, but it will never be a full blown business application. You can easily sync with a desktop application via CardDAV if you want full all the bells and whistles ;) I've CC'd to Jan-Christoph Borchardt who is the main man for UX issues. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Thomas Tanghus _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list Owncloud@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
