Contacts

Lists your contacts

Nitrocid KS provides this feature as an addon.

The contacts application lets you list your contacts that are imported from the contacts folder found under the KSContactsImport folder. It shows you basic information about your contacts.

The contacts application is usually found in your computer under the form of a feature in your favorite mail client or under the form of a standalone application. It's also found in your smartphone in which you can make phone calls and send SMS messages.

Nitrocid KS, however, has this application as a standalone application and can be executed by invoking the contacts command. You can also perform contact management without the contacts interactive TUI by using one of the following four commands:

• contactinfo: Shows you contact information

• importcontacts: Imports the contacts from either a MeCard string or a vCard file

• listcontacts: Lists all the contacts

• loadcontacts: Loads all the contacts

Please note that Nitrocid KS is unable to make phone calls and send SMS messages to your contacts as it requires a special device, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, to be able to make calls from your computer, and we don't intend to simulate that.

This application currently supports the following keystrokes:

• F1: Deletes a selected contact

• F2: Deletes all contacts

• F3: Imports contacts from your exported contact files found under the KSContactsImport folder

• F4: Imports contacts from a selected path to your contact file

• F5: Shows extra information about your contacts

• F6: Searches the contact list for a specified name

• F7: Searches the contact list for a next occurrence of a name

• F8: Searches the contact list for a previous occurrence of a name

• F9: Gets raw information about a selected contact's card based on the saved VCard data generated by VisualCard

• F10: Imports contacts from MeCard

• Esc: Exits the application

The contact application can import your contacts from the KSContactsImport folder if your contacts file is one of the supported formats by the powerful VisualCard library:

• VCF contact files holding a single contact (version 2.1, 3.0, 4.0)

• VCF contact files holding multiple contacts (same version, mixed versions)

• Android contacts database file (contacts2.db)

The contact application can also import your contact through a short MeCard syntax given to you by a QR code behind it. Below is an example of a complete MeCard syntax:

MECARD:N:Sanders,John,,,;TEL:[phone];EMAIL:[e-mail];ADR:,,Los Angeles,,,,USA;NOTE:Note test for VisualCard;;
