Import VCF with single contact #330

Closed timmli closed 9 months ago

timmli commented 9 months ago

What is the recommended way to import a VCF with a single contact into Khard's database?

I have tried khard new --input-file contact.vcf (v0.17.0) but that was unsuccessful.

There is an issue that sounds similar: https://github.com/lucc/khard/issues/287 My problem, however, is not having single files with many contacts.

There is no import command for vcf files. You can simply copy/move the file into khard's address book folder because internally khard uses vcards to store contacts.

Moving the VCF to the address book (vdir) does not work in my case, because the VCF does not yet have a UID. Any suggestions how to handle VCF without UID?

The docs of khard have a note about tools that can help sanitizing vcards before coping them to the khard folder: https://khard.readthedocs.io/en/latest/scripting.html#integration
