When you open Settings -> Apps -> People you're presented with the option to import contacts from VCF file. If you add more than one file to the storage you're presented with a list of options called "From file" but without the actual file name for each entry. It would be nice to have the file name mentioned for each entry in the list in order to be able to differentiate which file is which.

Workaround: merge all contacts in just one VCF file. They are simple ASCII files, so you can "cat" them (search "merge VCF cat" in your favorite search engine, there are tutorials for Windows, OS X and GNU/Linux).
Once done, only one option "From file" will be displayed. Tap on it and all your contacts will be imported.
If my Sailfish version (1.0.2.5) there's a bug when importing VCF files containing multiple entries: only first one is actually imported. If it happens to you, open the VCF file using an editor and erase that first contact (every contact begins with a 'BEGIN:VCARD' line and ends with END:VCARD). Save the file, return to Settings and tap again on "From file".

I think this may be a translation issue, as the filename is supplied to the translation for each file entry. What language is your device in?
