Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I just uploaded to the extras-devel repository what is the the beginning of a cycle of new features.

This new version introduces a new view written with QML. Most people don't (and shouldn't) care what programing languages are used but the idea is that by using QML we can have "richer" user interfaces.

This new view includes two important features missing until now: search and virtual keyboard. The search, like everything else, can use some optimization and tweaks but it is already good enough to find someone to call :)

Few notes:

• After installing this version you will have two icons for mycontacts (mycontacts and mycontacts2) on the programs list. You can start the new interface using the mycontacts2 icon or by selecting "Phones (BETA)" on the menu of the "old" mycontacts.
• I combined the two into one package/exectutable to avoid wasting any resources.
• The new version lacks "style". Designers out there: we need you! Please send me printscreens with your suggestions
• The color schema is very "Windows 95"... lots of memories :)

This is by no means a finished feature but should work well enough to be worth testing it!

Make sure to let me know of any bugs comments and suggestions.

How do we get the new version? it is not showing up in the update.

You need to have either extras-devel or extras-testing repository enabled. Select update on HAM or FAP and it should show us an option.

if you don't mind using the x-terminal:
Keep in mind that will upgrade any packages that have had new versions since installed. It will list them before actually doing anything.

@fcrochik
I have 2 questions.
I have installed Mycontacts mainly for call blocking.
Does it create any log of rejected calls, and if so, where?
Do rejected calls show in the telephone app log?

Could you add support to reject unidentified/private calls?

Thanks for all your developing efforts on this platform!
Esp. for Communi, Mycontacts and GeePS.

A lot of things get logged to a text file, including any call received or rejected, but the log file is overwritten every time mycontacts start and it is anything but user friendly.

I am pretty sure that the rejected calls will get logged like any other calls.

Yes. I just need someone to help me how the call is identified. If you have received any since you installed mycontacts you should find this information on the log (/home/user/,mycontacts/log.txt)

Thanks.
I have not got any private calls yet. When I do I'll report back.
