Support of Thunderbird 3.0 for duplicate contact manager

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Duplicate contact manager is a great tool. Thanks for the work. Some friend
asked me whether duplicate contact manager could support Thunderbird
3.0beta and nightly since he is using one of them. So I tried to do some
porting work. Attached file is the initial patch that I have and it works
for my Thunderbird 3.0 nightly on OpenSolaris.

One thing not so clear to me is the use of editCardToDatabase in the source
code. What is this function call supposed to do? I can't find the
definition in mxr comm-central so I comment out this line for temporary
solution.

Any comments/review for the patch will be appreciated.

Hello,

I tried your patch to test Duplicate Contact Manager in Thunderbird 3b2 on 
Ubuntu
Jaunty 64.

All works fine for the moment, I made tests with duplicates, there are detected 
and
removed.

As I do not know anything on programming, I made manually copy-paste of your
corrections to the extension files with gedit.

First, I forgot the "//" on file chrome/content/duplicateEntriesWindow.js, line 
:
@@ -232,7 +233,7 @@
//              deleteCard.editCardToDatabase(this.directory.directoryProperties.URI);

So when I removed duplicate contact card, I got the error message "TypeError:
this.directory is undefined" but duplicate was well removed.

Now I made the good correction and it works.

I hope it can help and that extension will be updated officially with this 
patch.

Thanks !

An updated binary would be nice for people without a working build environment

I'm using the package from the SF.net page 
(duplicate-contact-manager-20091213-0925-tb.).

I can't edit the contact to be saved in the comparision-window, is that another
defect with TB3?

I've applied Alfred Peng patch and I'm currently testing it. An official package
should be made soon.

I've packaged a version with the patch and some minor improvements. However, I 
cannot put it on the Mozilla site for the moment (no access to the 
administration).

People who are interested can download and test the version 0.7 from the SVN 
trun. Here is the URL:

http://duplicate-contact-manager-for-thundebird.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/duplica
te-contact-manager-0.7-tb3.xpi

Keep in mind that it won't work with Thunderbird 2.

Thanks to Copelnug for making this happen!

I really like this add-on, but... if only were possible:
1) specify what column to use for comparison
2) specify what column to display (I really miss DateOfLastUpdate...)
Since I have to merge three different Address Book, with each around 3000 
contacts... 
I hope someone could help...
TIA
