Add abook backend
Feature request: Bidirectional interoperability with abook
Motivation: I am old-school and tend to use abook while using a terminal-only computer, but would like to use gnome-contacts when using a GUI.
Desired completion criteria:
- If
~/.abook/addressbook
file exists, populate "Change Address Book" option to include abook data source (else, if a user doesn't use abook in the first place, this change will be invisible to them) - If abook data source selected, import abook entries, populating fields already compatible with the existing version of gnome-contacts
- If abook data was imported from
~/.abook/addressbook
, also provide the option to export compatible data back to the~/.abook/addressbook
file - Major kudos if the data sources remain synchronized!
