display contacts from multiple addressbooks

Open sahne123 opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I'm not sure how it is supposed to be.

Opening the app there ist always the first Adressbook selected and only contacts within are shown. How can i select ultiple or all addressbooks? The checkboxes seems to have no function at all. Is this a bug, am i using it wrong?

The default view is that only the addressbooks contacts are shown up which is selected! The checkboxes get later a possible function perhaps really to show all contacts in list (using as filter)!

That would be great. As i use many addressbooks (for sharing) seeing all contacts or at least search over all contacts is essential. Maybe i find some time to look at this enhancement.

@libasys Okay, i think i can implement this. But we have to think about the usability.

If we use the checkboxes to determine wich addressbooks are active the click on a certain addressbook to show this one should be removed. What means you can't just click on a adressbook to show it's content only. You have to select/deselect the others - just like in the calendar app.

Do you agree? I see no good way to combine both things in the gui without confusing the user. Do you have an idea?

Maybe clicking the name auto selects the adressbook and deselect all other addressbooks? Not sure if this is intuitive.
