Hello,
first I have to thank very much the programmer of this very very useful tool. I
just switched to Deb Ubuntu 9.04 over from Windows and I'm very impressed what I
have now on my desktop. In the moment I think I'll never switch back.
But back to syncevolution which serves me a small bug which results in
disappearing of the "Mobiltelefon" entry in the Evolution contacts view.
Evolution is version 2.26.1, syncevolution is version 0.9-2 and I use Genesis
0.4.1 too but the bug shows up also without Genesis. My Syncserver is Memotoo
and the configurated vcard format is vcard 2.1 I also tried vcard 3, but with
the same bug. What happens: I set up a completely empty contacts list. Then I
put in a test contact with all fields filled with records. I started
"syncevolution memotoo" and found all records in my Evolution contacts view,
except the "Mobiltelefon" entry. The field in the listview and cardview is
empty. But when I open the contact in the contacteditor then the "Mobiltelefon"
entry is filled correctly. Only switching back to the listview changes nothing,
but when I change the cellphone number in the contacteditor then the cellphone
number shows up afterwards in the listview. Doing a new sync will again make the
"Mobiltelefon" entry empty.
Cause I'm a real novice concerning Linux and all this pretty good stuff I hope
that this list can help me solve the problem.
Best regards and again all thumbs up for this very good syncing tool.

I can reproduce it on Fedora10 with EDS 2.24.1 when syncing contacts with Memotoo. Then
more investigation is taken
1. testing with Memotoo on Fedora10:
Create a contact with “mobile phone” filled on memotoo and then make it sync-ed to client.
The contact is displayed in cardview and listview with “mobile phone” empty. Check the
data in EDS:
TEL;TYPE=HOME,VOICE:87654321
TEL;TYPE=HOME,CELL:123456789 ( seems that this one can’t be parsed on fedora and ubuntu
)
After editing it from Evolution/Contacts, the item in EDS becomes
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=2;TYPE=CELL:123456789-mod
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=1;TYPE=HOME,VOICE:87654321
Then we can view it filled in the listview and cardview.
2. testing with Memotoo on moblin with EDS 2.25.91:
We can view “mobile phone” without any edition.
3. testing with Scheduleworld on Fedora10 with EDS 2.24.1
Create a contact with “mobile phone” filled on scheduleworld and then make it sync-ed to
client. The contact is displayed in cardview and listview with “mobile phone” filled.
Check the data in EDS:
TEL;TYPE=HOME,VOICE:87654321
TEL;TYPE=CELL:123456789
After editing it from Evolution/Contacts, the item in EDS becomes
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=2;TYPE=CELL:123456789-mod
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=1;TYPE=HOME,VOICE:87654321
4. testing with Google on Fedora10 with EDS 2.24.1
Create a contact with “mobile phone” and “home phone” filled on google and then make it
sync-ed to client. The contact is displayed in cardview and listview with “mobile phone”
filled, but “home phone” empty. Check the data in EDS:
TEL;TYPE=CELL:123456789
TEL;TYPE=HOME:87654321 ( seems that this one can’t be parsed on fedora and ubuntu )
After editing it from Evolution/Contacts, the item in EDS becomes
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=2;TYPE=CELL:123456789-mod
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=1;TYPE=HOME,VOICE:87654321
Testing on both OS are based on vcard3.0.
Thanks,

sync
Hello,
first I have to thank very much the programmer of this very very
useful tool.
I
just switched to Deb Ubuntu 9.04 over from Windows and I'm very
impressed what
I
have now on my desktop. In the moment I think I'll never switch
back.
But back to syncevolution which serves me a small bug which results
in
disappearing of the "Mobiltelefon" entry in the Evolution
contacts view.
Evolution is version 2.26.1, syncevolution is version 0.9-2 and I use
Genesis
0.4.1 too but the bug shows up also without Genesis. My Syncserver is
Memotoo
and the configurated vcard format is vcard 2.1 I also tried vcard 3,
but with
the same bug. What happens: I set up a completely empty contacts list.
Then I
put in a test contact with all fields filled with records. I started
"syncevolution memotoo" and found all records in my
Evolution contacts view,
except the "Mobiltelefon" entry. The field in the listview
and cardview is
empty. But when I open the contact in the contacteditor then the
"Mobiltelefon"
entry is filled correctly. Only switching back to the listview changes
nothing,
but when I change the cellphone number in the contacteditor then the
cellphone
number shows up afterwards in the listview. Doing a new sync will
again make
the
"Mobiltelefon" entry empty.

Thanks! Both the original report and this additional investigation were
really helpful. If we don't have a "fill in all fields in the web and
sync to Evolution" test case in the QA plan, then adding it would be
very useful to catch cases like this.
Now, the problem obviously is that Evolution doesn't handle some TYPE
combinations. They can be stored, but the list view doesn't recognize
them. There must be some other code path in the contact editor because
editing the contact fixes the TYPE.
We should apply the same fix in a incoming script for contacts *if* we
synchronize with Evolution contacts:
TEL;TYPE=[HOME|WORK],CELL => TEL;TYPE=CELL
TEL;TYPE=[HOME|WORK] => TEL;TYPE=[HOME|WORK],VOICE
In other words, strip the distinction between home and work cell phone
(WORK,CELL wasn't mentioned in the bug report, but I expect it to suffer
from the same problem) and add VOICE if only HOME or WORK are set. The
former looses some information, whereas the latter should be safe.

Any takers for this one?
