Vcf import failed - values are not decoded from quoted-printable format

[SebGer]

Steps to reproduce

1. Import vcf with fields containing 'ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE'

Example (here in ADR, but can occure in every field):

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:Mustermann;Max;;;
FN:Max Mustermann
TEL;CELL:+4912345678901
TEL;HOME:+4912345678902
EMAIL;HOME:[email protected]
ADR;HOME:;;Musterweg 1;Musterstadt;;12345;
ADR;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;=4D=75=73=74=65=72=77=65=67=20=32;=4D=75=73=74=65=72=73=74=61=64=74;;=31=32=33=34=35;
BDAY:1900-01-01
END:VCARD 

I got such files by exporting contacts from an android mobile.

Expected behaviour

Contact is shown with decoded values

Actual behaviour

The according values are still shown as quoted printables

I have the same issue. Is there already a fix or a workaround for this problem? As far as I know there is no release date for 1.3 given at the moment..

[DeepDiver1975]

No fix yet available ....

[aspdye]

The release date for 1.3 is planned for the May 30, 2016 😉 Find out more about the milestones of ownCloud Contacts at: https://github.com/owncloud/contacts/milestones

We could use mathiasbynens/quoted-printable to encode/decode quoted printables.

[mrosic]

This is a huge deal breaker because it's not possible to properly export contacts for Android to Owncloud/Nextcloud.

I've found this website as a workaround: http://www.webatic.com/run/convert/qp.php Unfortunately you have to give your contacts to this website... over unencrypted HTTP.

Any chance this will make it into 1.5 ? (I just fill importing and exporting is quite important, which is why currently I am on 8.2 tree, but so want to come over 9.1.

I found this issue trough google.

For anyone searching for a way to import their android contacts, I used this library: https://github.com/mbideau/vcardtools

to convert my vcf from my phone to a new vCard 3.0 vcf that works!

I used:

python3 vcardtools.py -xn output_dir/ contacts.vcf
cat output_dir/* >> contacts_new.vcf

and then you get the contacts_new.vcf that is vCard 3.0 compatible.
