How does Sailfish handle contacts?
asked 2016-05-30 13:37:41 +0300
I'm sorry if this has been asked before (I can't find anything on it) but I'm a bit unclear about the Contacts app.
Suppose I've imported contacts from three accounts: 1. Corporate Exchange account 2. Gmail account 3. Outlook account.
Question 1: From which of the accounts will Sailfish OS take the photo of the contact? (I know it's not the Exchange account).
Question 2: When I create a new contact, to which account does it save the new contact? It doesn't save to the SIM hopefully?
Q2: Jolla saves contacts to phones memory, people knowing more about this can probably tell where you can find the db on the system.

Multiple avatars can be downloaded from multiple different providers, if the synchronisation plugin for that provider supports downloading avatar details. The user can select which avatar to use by long-pressing the avatar image within the Contact Card view of the People application.
Contact data is stored by default to the local device database. Depending on the synchronisation strategy selected for the account, "local" data will be synchronised to those accounts. In the future, once we've updated the stack to the latest QtPIM, we will have better support for per-account and per-addressbook synchronisation strategies.
