Feature Request: Select multiple contacts (use CTRL or SHIFT etc..) Its helpful when needing to batch edit a small subset of contacts (i.e. add/edit group, download, add/edit business details etc..)

Sorry, Im from Germany and Im not used to this shortcut: pr?

SCO-Bernhard avatar Mar 06 '18 15:03 SCO-Bernhard

@SCO-Bernhard PR is just a programing shortcut on Github and this means, that every contributer can create a pull request which gets merged into the master code. Deutsch ist für den Deutschen an mancher Stelle echt einfacher :D But it´s an international project 👍

I asked @skjnldsv since he added the label 1. to develop 👍

No pr yet! A full rebuild of the app is scheduled, this feature will be one of the priorities :)

skjnldsv avatar Mar 06 '18 16:03 skjnldsv

@skjnldsv any ETA for the rebuild ? Or just an issues to subscribe to follow the rework's progression ?

@rgarrigue unfortunately, no. We're slowly organising ourselves for this task, but this will require a bit of time.

Sooo, four years have passed...may I ask, how's the self-reorganizing going? ;-)

Very down our priority list :) Nonetheless a proper internal API in contacts now exists to implement batch-processes. If anyone wants to dive into this, it will be easier!

Yay, can't wait for it!

Mass actions are not not implemented so group-moving contact or mass delete is not possible; we had to use CardDAV+Thunderbird but it's not a perfect solution (i.e. contact groups are not sync) and it multiplies tools.
