package rolo
tags 442457 upstream
thanks

Hi,

I am forwarding the bug report below filed against the rolo package in
Debian, although I believe that upstream development of rolo has been
stopped.  The author claimed on 2003-08-29 that "Rolo Development Put On
Hold Until Early 2004" [1].  However the last CVS commit dates from over
four years ago.  Also, the rolo-user mailing list seem only to receive spam
nowadays.

Hi!

Firtoff, thanks for maintaining rolo.

I would like to see a new feature added (please forward to upstream,
if appropriate).
The user interface should display the value of "TYPE" attributes for
vCard fields that have such attribute.

For instance, let's consider the "TEL" field:
If I have the following in a vCard:

  TEL;TYPE=home:xxx xxxxxx
  TEL;TYPE=work:yyy yyyyyyy
  TEL;TYPE=cell:zzz zzzzzzz

rolo interface shows:

  Telephone #1  : xxx xxxxxx
  Telephone #2  : yyy yyyyyyy
  Telephone #3  : zzz zzzzzzz

which is not much helpful in understanding *which* of them is the
office phone number, *which* is the home phone number, and
*which* is the mobile phone number (well, this last one is
maybe easily detected by the prefix, but, well, some people
have more than one mobile phone number, some for work, some
for friends and relatives...)

I think the interface should display something like:

  Telephone (home)  : xxx xxxxxx
  Telephone (work)  : yyy yyyyyyy
  Telephone (cell)  : zzz zzzzzzz


The same goes for the other vCard fields that have a "TYPE" attribute.
The "ADR" field, for instance: a contact could have more than one
address (home, work, and so forth...).

I hope this feature can be implemented soon.
Thanks for considering.
