[Bug 1331348] [NEW] No access to contacts on File
Public bug reported:
Hi,
There are no option to sync contact for a human being form the Contacts
apps, from a backup file (xml,vcf,…?). This need comes from that many
users of Ubuntu might be moving from Android or other famous OS on
phone; these OS not always give the option to sync contact on SIM, but
on an file on the SDCARD, so Ubuntu (address-book-app) should provide a
way to import these backups.
Steps :
* Launch contacts
* no option to sync, import/export contact are found on the interface (only a search option and a + option)
* swipe from down to access the + menu, users might expect to add manually contact here, no more option like importing contacts from file.
* To be sure I checked in the system settings, no import option found there
User should be able to add contact from his backup on SDCARD (no one
want to import hundreds of contacts manually).
** Affects: address-book-app (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
