I'll pass your suggestion on to FJ without obligation!

Thank you very much! I am sorry if I did not manage to explain the idea clearly from the very beginning.

The following compromise would be possible:
If there is no name, surname and company entry, the nickname is adopted.
Would that be enough for you? Why not show it also in those cases where there is a "Nickname" and "Company" but no "First name", "Last name", etc.?
Look: if there is some last name ...

icke1954 , thank you for your reply. First of all, the respective column is called "Nickname", not "Alias". I have it enabled, so I see nicknames in that column. However, when I scroll through my contacts, having my eyes focused on the Name column, I would prefer to see some unique identifier in ...

If a contact has no name but has a nickname, it does not show up in the Name column. There is either nothing, or, if that contact has a Company field, then its Company is shown as Name. This is not the most convenient way of handling those fields. For example, I have some contacts identified by ...

It is possible if you install an old version (up to 1.0.48) of MPE client on your phone.

When duplicates are found, it is possible to drag-and-drop phone numbers and other data. However, the type of such number always remains the same in the resulting "after" column. It would be nice to be able to correct a wrong type in that process.
Example:

#1:
Home: 1
Work: 2
Mobile: 3

#2:
Home ...

Thank you very much, I tried xxx on fields in the entries being merged, but somehow did not try in on fields in the resulting entry .

In the newest beta its possible to move contacts/appointments directly via select -> rightclick -> Move to... Thank you so much, FJ!
Do you believe this beta is stable enough to use it with my main phone? I do not care if something does not work properly yet, as long as it does not spoil the ...

Correct, I hadn't even thought about that :oops: I thought this might be the case, but I still had some hope that it is not. ...there may be situations when one would like to have four digits as additional info for an event where those digits should not mean any year at all. Workaround: Appended ...

FJ hat geschrieben:Sorry, the calendar database of the phone is not able to store categories so it will be not possible to use this field as Birthday flag

Thank you for this definitive reply.

OK, even though you probably don't need this, how is the age calculated? For those who have the year indicated in some field (first of all, for contacts with the date of birth indicated), nothing would change fundamentally. In those cases where there is a birthday event without a year, it would be ...

Which date field should the birthday be based on without specifying the year?
You would then have to provide an additional option “Without year”. Well, in my view, ideally birthday-type events should be identified as such _not based on any date field_.
Let us have a look at two events exported from ...

I understand you very well, but what speaks against entering a fictitious year, for example 1900? Well, not a major issue, but, as I already said, there may be situations when one would like to have four digits as additional info for an event where those digits should not mean any year at all.
To ...

After searching for duplicates, MPE sometimes shows some duplicates saying "There were conflicts when merging the contacts. Please select the fields you want to use with click or reorder the fields with Drag&Drop".
Sometimes, however, there are situations where those contacts look as follows. For ...

The topic is not new, Birthday without a year First of all, thank you for those links to earlier topics. Before creating this one, I did some search, but, since I do not speak nor read German, I only checked the English part of the forum.
Second, I steel think that my question is a bit broader than ...

I did not understand how MPE distinguishes between "Birthday" and general "Recurrent event" in calendars, until I exported and imported some calendar entries today and found that it is done based on the "DESCRIPTION" field in VEVENT, which is shown as "Birth year" for birthdays and as "Additional ...

I don't know where you get that strange information.
Hi Maksym,
This is particularly about point 4 b IV. I have also added the russian translation, so that the full scope of this rule is clear to you and you understand my point of view. Hi Rolf,
Sorry for the late reply. I have just read your ...

When I copy a contact under Contacts/Google and then paste it (on the same phone or a different one), a window with contact details opens, and I can select a different account by xxx "Account" there. In particular, I can move a contact from my Google account to my local account in that way.
However ...

Thank you, I will try it. (Being in the army now, I have just read your message.)

Thanks I'll forward the error to FJ. Thank you. Just one small detail to add (it may be useful for FJ to know): that parameter is added (i.e., it becomes CHARSET=UTF-8;CHARSET=UTF-8;CHARSET=UTF-8; etc. after several sessions :)), changing the Phonebook.dat file size, at the very last moment, when I ...
