Minor bugs in VCF import / export (maybe)

[FJ]

Found and fixed, but i have not uploaded the new beta for this small fix.

Please note: If you set the birthday for a contact its not possible to delete it. The only way is to delete the old contact and make a new one without birthday (thats SonyEricsson )

By the way - i have a new hidden treasure implemented:
Add the following lines to the general.ini (under [Main]):
Organizer_Standardfile=C:\calendar.vcs
Phonebook_Standardfile=C:\contacts.vcf

Now start MPE and look at the toolbars.
I called it "Quick Import", maybe interesting for a geek like you

That's great... what a timesaver!! My birthday it's just the next month and I consider this as a nice present received in advance!

Hello FJ, many thanks for that great piece of software.

I see there that, thanks to Sony design, once entered a birthday can't be removed whithout removing the contact. It's true in MyPhoneExplorer and in my K530i too.

I'm very lazzy and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easy for MyPhoneExplorer to workaround this missing by automating the job. That is duplicate the contact without the birthday and then remove the source of the copy.

In that case would it be possible to remove the birthday of a contact on the phone by editing the MPE copy and resync?

@xlv600:

Ever tried to press the C-key on your phone in the contacts birthday field?
On my K550 it's possible to remove the birthday with this key.

After some search, I've found it quite easy to locate the MPE file phonebook.dat (MPE is closed), edit it with the Windows Notepad, look for the contact to modifie with Search function, remove the BDAY entry of that contact and save the modification.
Then suppress the contact in the phone.
When I run MPE, I can see that the Birthday date of this contact is properly removed. After resync, the contact whithout birthday appears in the phone as I whished.

Oups, while looking for a solution, I didn't see your post.
... And yes, it works.
Thanks for the solution
