vcard file format #3

Closed Nikostratos closed 3 years ago

Nikostratos commented 3 years ago

I encoutered two issues with importing vcards:

1. vcard file format has to be given in one syntax:

e.g. Phone-Numbers have to be in format TEL;TYPE=CELL:

However some vcards are in Format: TEL;WORK;VOICE: TEL;CELL;VOICE:

(As exported from MS Outlook, vcard-version 2.1) => If implementation is too much trouble for now, then maybe this should be documented?

2. vcard encoding

When importing vcard I got the error "can't decode 0xcf" I see that kp.ppl is expecting utf-8 However MS Outlook exports vcards in format: ORG;CHARSET=Windows-1252:Rüdiger Engineering ADR;WORK;CHARSET=Windows1252:;;Feldstraße 105

manually removing "ü" from vcard solves the issue and exports successfully. => Is there a way to skip characters, which cannot be decoded? For this particular case "ü" and "ß" don't need to be imported...

Hi Nikostratos.

I have added support for different encoding - check the new encoding parameter in the ppl.ini file for how to specify the encoding.

Also added support for customizing the VCARD format - check the cell_tag, home_tag and work_tag in the ppl.ini file.

Currently the release is in preview - please download version 0.8 and let me know if it works for you.

Amazing. it's working 100%.

I like the solution with the ppl.ini - config file.
