Comments on: Export Address Book 1.1: New formats, more options http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/06/27/export-address-book-11-new-formats-more-options/ Tips and add-ons to make Apple Mail / Mail.app even better Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:12:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: consumer_q http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/06/27/export-address-book-11-new-formats-more-options/#comment-7950 consumer_q Tue, 27 Jun 2006 19:09:57 +0000 http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/06/27/export-address-book-11-new-formats-more-options/#comment-7950 This can be a handy programme, and it is nice to see an update with more export options, but there is one format that seems to be forever overlooked by these types of utilities - vcard. Why is there still no application/plugin that will export chosen Addressbook.app fields into the vcard format? Am I the only person who wants this functionality? What I like about Export Address book is that one can choose a Group of contacts - and also choose certain people within that Group - for export. However, I would like the field selection changed from pulldown to checkboxes. The pulldown menu selection really slows down the field selection process for me. The ability to have/save a template of different export fields within the application would be useful too. That is, associate certain fields to be exported - not contacts - with "work", "personal" , "family" or whathaveyou. I need to play around with the application as a little more - I may have a use for it in Filemaker input workflow - but without the .vcf export I am hesitant on purchasing.
