I don't know what formats the GPE-contact program will accept as import, but 
abook will export to the following formats:

  a -   abook   abook native format
  b -   ldifldif / Netscape addressbook (.4ld)
  c -   muttmutt alias
  d -   htmlhtml document
  e -   pinepine addressbook
  f -   gcrdGnomeCard (VCard) addressbook
  g -   csv comma separated values
  h -   allcsv  comma separated values (all fields)
  i -   palmcsv Palm comma separated values
  j -   elm elm alias
  k -   textplain text
  l -   wl  Wanderlust address book
  m -   spruce  Spruce address book
  n -   bsdcal  BSD calendar


and will import the following:

  a -   abook   abook native format
  b -   ldifldif / Netscape addressbook
  c -   muttmutt alias
  d -   pinepine addressbook
  e -   csv comma separated values
  f -   allcsv  comma separated values (all fields)
  g -   palmcsv Palm comma separated values


I recently exported my abook addresses to a single .vcf file I then imported to 
Evolution.   It took about 5 seconds and worked perfectly.

good luck,

You may want to ask on the GPE mailing list (see 
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpe-list to sign up) 
where someone may be able to comment on your problem with importing the big 
file.

You could turn the file into a script for gpesyncd (each card must start 
with "add vcard BEGIN:VCARD").  Ask on the GPE list if you want some more 
info on using gpesyncd.

Or use OpenSync (but that requires a separate Linux system, for now).

GPE-Contact import

2007-10-04 Thread Gary Baribault
Hi guys, I have an IPAQ with about 900 contacts .. I am trying to get
them to the GPE-Contact program. I created a massive vcard file, but it
wont import it. I then used BT to thansfer many of them, but GPE-Contact
seems to only let me import one at a time .. does anyone know how to
import about 900 vcard files at one time into the program?

Thanks
