Same here. It works, but is only sending the first contact.

[slimjim1219]

sameee with only one contact

[Helidos]

Well I just downloaded the updated version from preware and it in fact only exported the first contact.

Download the one from this thread and it will export them all.

[ptheisen]

How do you download and install without the use of Preware?

[LunaticX]

neither the one in preware nor one posted on first page are working for me

they both only send first contact..

[jamesonrw]

How do you download and install without the use of Preware?

download the patch to your computer, open webos quickinstall, click on the plus sign and locate the file then click install.

Hi, I'm the original author of the patch which is available via preware. It has been updated and now works with WebOS 1.3.5.1. It does only export 1 file, but this file contains all of your contacts. Depending on what program you are trying to open the .vcf file with (Outlook for example) it may only show the first contact.

I recommend getting a vCard splitter program in this situation to break the single large .vcf file into each individual vCard. A quick google search turns up this perl script, this windows utility and this mac utility.

Edit: Good news! It looks like in 1.3.5, the service that is called when you choose "Save All via Email" exports ALL contacts, including information such as IM addresses, rather than just Palm Profile contacts

[ptheisen]

Brandon, Thank you for the explanation. I found a splitter and sure enough, all the contacts are there.

Thanks again.

Is there a free solution for windows that will allow me to split the vcard?? Every program that I come across is around $25.

The one I listed, vCardOrganizer, can split vCards fine without buying a license. The license is only needed if you want to use it to edit vCards.

It also appears that you can import this one vcard file directly into your Gmail contacts and it will split them out. So another way to do this might be to obtain a secondary gmail account for such things (testing, etc.), import them, and then export them to a format that's more to your requirements...

[Stall]

I am having trouble installing this patch. I have tried Preware as well as WOSQI. Error Log is attached. Any help is greatly appreciated!

[nate812]

Having a hangup too on install from Preware. Were you able to fix it?

Can either of you retrieve (using WOSQI, for example) the following files and send them to me (brandon@smartercode.net):

• /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.contacts/app/controllers/list-assistant.jsjsjs.$rej$
• /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.contacts/app/controllers/list-assistant.jsjsjs

I suspect another patch conflicts with this one.

Stall - If you NEED to get a vCard of your contacts you can always do this (it's what I am currently doing)

1. In the phone app, dial " ##66623# " (Sprint) or " #*66623# " (ATT).
2. This will launch CelleBrite Export
3. Run the export function and it will create a vCard in the .temp folder of all your contacts. It does not export contact pictures however.

Note: If you rcv and error msg, check the .temp folder. The vCard file is probably there.

It looks like the patch "Create Birthday Events" conflicts with this patch - they both modify the same file. You will need to choose one or the other. I can provide a patch file that incorporates both patches together, but if you want to use it you will have to install it manually using WOSQI - I won't be submitting it to be included in the patches feed for WOSQI / Preware.

Unified patch for "Create Birthday Events" & "Send All Contacts via Email" is attached to this post. Enjoy
