gnome-contacts-exporter

This program is my cli to the contacts.db used by gnome-contacts, which usually lies in ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db.

My intention was to automate the exporting into a vCard-File (contacts.vcf), which can be done by hand in gnome-contacts.

Usage

For exporting use the arguments:

• --source contacts.db --destination contacts.vcf

and for importing use:

• --source contacts.vcf --destination contacts.db

TODO

• converting from vcf to sqlite3 (Import)

• converting from sqlite3 to vcf (Export)

• implement daemon-function, which listens to sqlite3/vcf and imports/exports automatically

• adding --dry-run for testing

• add Earthfile for testing-environment

• Write Tests for different cases
