it would be a nice option to be able to select from a set of mostly default fields the ones, that you would like to use as your default for your contacts so no empty fields would be displayed while nothing necessary would be missing. Also you should be able to add completely custom fields. Having said that, I checked from my most complete PIM which fields I use:
* First, middle and last names (should be separate and allow sorting by first or last names) (* Nickname) * Cell phone * Home phone * Business phone * Personal e-mail * Business e-mail * Profession * Company * Department * Birthday * Home address, city, postal code, state, country * Work address, city, postal code, state, country * Free notes of unlimited length * Small portrait in jpg format, no idea if that would be in any way applicable here. That's what would suffice for me. It would be nice to be able to add several of the same type of fields. For example a contact that works in two places should be able to have two work addresses, professions, companies, departments, business phones, business e-mails etc. Thanks for asking for feedback, Yogiz On Tue, 9 Feb 2010 21:13:14 +0200 Tom Hacohen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey all, > > Intro: > Recently we overhauled the contact app to use the new opimd types (the > change is not yet completely committed to master branch). > In this change we also overhauled the contacts application, now each > field is chosen using a combo box and not by inserting "free-text". > You will be able (not yet implemented) to add any field to this combo > box so you'll be able to choose it whenever you want.
