One question that hasn't been answered by my earlier Emails: Does the CONTACTS_DIRECTORY attribute govern user preference?
[mkd] No, the CONTACTS_DIRECTORY governs where the user contact directory will be served and read from. The OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY governs where the user preferences are saved in a file with the name of <MAC-ADDRESS>-phone.cfg. Things like ring-tone selections, background selection and other features that may be enabled/set from the Settings->Basic menu option.

Huijun has been already been investigating, and is ready to start implementing the "overrides" approach, if we have consensus. Actually Huijun also found a challenge regarding default values that I hadn't thought of. He'll post shortly with the details. I wrote: > Marek wrote: > > 2.

To be clear, we could do this, though I don't think we have a reason to in our environment. (Note: The "overrides" capability doesn't apply to this file...)

Marek? Grammar corrected: Does the CONTACTS_DIRECTORY attribute govern user preference?

I've raised XCF-2736 to cover this enhancement request.
