- <p>Plugin allows merge contacts with filter by accounts.</p>
- <p>Unlikely to standart function for merging
- contacts our plugin lets user to filter contacts by accounts.
- For example let us consider a user that has two accounts: jabber (on the gmail.com server, so
- called Google Talk) and ICQ. When user choose filtering by jabber account, then
- the list of contacts will has only contacts which have account on the
- gmail.com server, when user choose filtering by ICQ account, then the list
- of contacts will has only contacts with have ICQ account. Also user can
- find duplicate contacts from the menu of our plugin. This code belongs
- to Marco Barisione and he has the separate package
- with this function for maemo address book. A package has the name
- "contacts-merger".</p>
+ <p>Plugin mergers contacts.

+ Internet users often import contacts into a device address book from different services like social networks, instant messengers and so on. The data of contact record of a user's friend may differ from service to service. Hence in the address book may appear duplicate records which refer, as a matter of fact, to one person.</p>
+ <p>
+ In the case of some hundreds of friends the address book size grows unreasonably. Our plugin is a tool helping to solve this problem by merging duplicate records into one record of the address book. The plugin simplifies search of duplicate contacts by presenting contacts list in two windows. User can define selection presenting in any of windows subset of contacts receiving from one service only (e.g skype, icq, jabber). In a window selection of a contact may be done by live search from keyboard. We also have used code of Marco Barisione contacts-merger plugin, providing search of duplicate contact by comparison of contacts records fields.
