Description

It would be nice to be able to import users that already have entries in the address book into Adium. Currently, all I can do is get names from address book.

Thanks

This can be done in .9svn in the add contact window.

That's one-at-a-time, rather than a proper many-at-a-time importer. I think this does make sense, especially if you have a long Address Book.

Reopening for further discussion.

I guess it was my email last week that got this reopened. I decided to implement my own version of this since I had need of this functionality. It probably needs a bit of work before it'd be ready for general usage, but I'd be happy to update and contribute it if there's interest. A screenshot is available at http://raoli.com/files/ABImport.png.

Basic functionality - any contact that is not present in one of the checked accounts is listed as importable. Clicking Add creates new Adium contacts for any of the checked contacts in all of the checked accounts. Changing the contact type, connecting/disconnecting to an account or checking/unchecking an account all cause the contact table to update.

The implementation borrows heavily from AINewContactWindowController and slightly from OWABSearchWindowController, which is one of the reasons why I think there's work that still needs to be done - some of the common code could be refactored, perhaps out into a utility class or shared parent class.

Setting milestone... could also be third party plugins. Since we don't know when/if this will be completed, this milestone seems appropriate.
