Contacts are not "imported". Yappari requests the list of contacts that start with a + to Qt Mobility. Qt Mobility crashes.

I'm 100% sure if you delete all your IM accounts and contacts Yappari will always work.
I do wonder how there is only about 10 people with this problem, nobody use the integrated conversations? That's odd...

I actually think the Conversations integration sucks and a lot. It's ok for Skype, but you can't receive files through MSN/GTalk/Yahoo/AIM. A lot of features are not supported that I use a lot so I decided not to use it.
I do use it for Skype though, but rarely.

Yappari is almost perfect now.
Just missing 2 things:
- Even there is no contact synchronization yet, most people still need a very simple function: automatically add local country code to the address book entries if it is not in international format
- Received "files" and "images" are an URL, how about just show the URL in the dialog before having any inline image viewer / etc? It should not be too difficult for the current code
If Yappari is open source, I think these will be added very quickly.

After all, your problem requires a one-off solution. Write a script for that!

The *only* solution is to not use Qt Mobility, that is, using native libraries and querying contacts one by one (something that Qt Mobility is doing for me right now), and retrieving the avatar, the number, the name, etc.
The thing is not more than 10 people have this problem. I think it's because Conversations IM contacts, which I don't use at all (I use pidgin). That's what Qt Mobility doesn't understand and makes it crash (it's a theory but I'm like 80% sure).
Of course I won't ask you to stop using Conversations as an IM but only as an SMS GUI and use pidgin, because you have your reasons to use Conversations.
I'm 100% sure if you delete all your IM accounts and contacts Yappari will always work.
I'm storing for each contact a lot of info (mobile numbers, land line, adress, skype/ICQ/MSN/FB/ etc contact, etc...) and there are no conflicts with whatsapp.
That's why i'm very looking forward to the contacts sync (or at least some icon or the number next to each contact, so that i know whether i'm selecting the mobile or landline number). But please go through your ToDo list as you wish, i can wait.
Thanks again for this nice application!

Adding the country code should be the responsibility of the user. This is anyway mandatory if you leave the country, that's why i'm always storing new numbers with the country code.

Totally missed my meaning, firstly whatsapp official client will assume the number is local if the number has no country code, secondly, whatsapp official client doesnt need to modify user's address book in order to do this, it probably do it in its own in-memory address book during runtime.
That's what I mean, not "Yappari modify my address book" but it should determine the number is in international format or not, if not, just prefix it by country code "when talking to server" (no need to store this number).
This is the behaviour of whatsapp official client that is user friendly to us.
Anyway, not all country people used to put country code in address book, like china and most asian countries.

I seriously doubt that. Particularly at this stage of *early* development, the less people who play around with the code the less chances that one of them fvcks up.

For now I prefer to continue my life without whatsapp rather than loading all my address book manually
