Save / backup / restore Contact List

[thiagopeixoto16]

Hello,

As a feature request: Would be nice to have a button like Export / Import contact list

Thanks

Is there a workaround, like a db that's easy to access?

[alauzon]

I don't know yet.

You can modify this database: ~/.local/share/linphone/friends.db but be careful with the vCard data. You must strictly respect the vCard grammar.

The file is under ~/.var/app/com.belledonnecommunications.linphone/data/linphone/friends.db on my Ubuntu platform.  I see it's an SQLlite DB.  I was able to edit the DB and add and modify records manually. I now need to import my VCards from NextCloud to this DB.  Interesting project.

Thanks for the tips! I'll also try to migrate this file from one Linphone installation to another, because that is my use case. Thanks!

Would, at least in principle, be possible to use the plugin infrastructure for separately trying to set up the import export mechanism? Similarly, would it be possible to use the plugin infrastructure to set up a way to query google-contacts? Or is the plugin mechanism dedicated to the "calling" part of the program only? Is there documentation on the interfaces that the plugins should and can access?

+1 for this feature request.

inserts into sqlite-db works but it's not a convenient solution for endusers.

Therefore an import/export with csv or excel or would be nice

I use vdirsyncer and insert into sql db with a shell script as described on https://klausdieter0815.wordpress.com/2023/01/25/linphone-addressbook-nextcloud/

I am finding that linphone does not seem to re-read the friends.db when entries change during runtime. Also the lack of interpreting TEL: entries in vcard is a problem. So, yeah. There is a workaround but it isn't great.

Sync with fruux.com or the like would be ideal.

Regarding the lack of tel xdg file type handler, these links might be of help

Regarding the lack of tel xdg file type handler, these links might be of help The problem is not the missing xdg handler but that the TEL-fields in vcf seem to be ignored by linphone. Linphone likes IMPP fields with sip contacts. This is somewhat of a problem when users just want to call a contact on POTS using whatever sip upstream that happens to be available.
