Hello Jolla people,
I have Sailfish 3.0.1.14 running on Xperia XA2 -Dual SIM. I would like to transfer contacts from old phone to new one. But there is no possibility to import contacts from file. I thought it should be somewhere inside "People" app. But there is only "Select contacts", "Show search" and "Add contact"menu items.
So I would like to ask, how can I import contacts ? Thanks for answer

if you dont mind using terminal:
Install vcardconverter if not already installed.
pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-contacts-qt5-tools
Import contacts from vCard
devel-su -p vcardconverter contacts.vcf
Export local contacts to vCard
devel-su -p vcardconverter --export contacts.vcf
found via
Sometimes when importing a vcard address book, some of the records do not import. I found this exporting a large address book from Evolution. It seems the importer is picky about some of the X-* vcard tags and formats and then ignores the corresponding records. This snippet worked for me.
#!/bin/bash
# decruft evolution vcards
sed -e 's/\;X-EVOLUTION-E164=[0-9]*//' \
-e 's/\,\+[0-9]//' $1 \
| sed -e 's/\,\"+[0-9]*\"//' \
| sed -n '/X-EVOLUTION-FILE-AS/!p' \
| sed -n '/X-QTPROJECT-FAVORITE/!p' \
| sed -n '/X-NEMOMOBILE-SYNCTARGET:bluetooth/!p' \
| sed -n '/X-GENDER/!p'
