contactList, MetaContacts

Hi,

I have written a plugin, that loads all the contacts of our
company's
address books into the contactList of SC (as SIP contacts).

There are now many contacts (persons) that have more then
one number.

I have added them as MetaContacts to the list, each with
their different
numbers as contacts of this MetaContact. Those numbers are
all shown on
the UI (in the toolTip an on right-click).

Now, how can I choose which one I want to call? Is there an
option
anywhere? I think if I just press the "call"
button, the "default" one
is chosen (by MetaContact.getDefaultContact). But it is not
clear
(visible) to the user, which account this will be (until the
number is
dialled and it is shown in the call panel).

A second question: Is it right, that I cannot add two
contacts that have
the same contactID? For example, I have two persons working
at a
company. Both of them have an entry in my address book, both
with the
same number. Now I can add the first person, but not the
second one, as
the contactID (the phone number) already exists.
Is it somehow possible to have two contacts with the same
contactID?

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi,

I have written a patch for that purpose.

Now instead of the "call" menu item in the
contactRightButtonMenu, a
subMenu is shown (similar to the "removeContact"
submenu) , where the
user can choose which actual contact (of this metaContact)
should be called.

See the patch attached to this email 

Regards,
Sebastian

Hey Sebastien,

I guess I missed this one back when you first sent it.
Sounds quite
cool! What kind of address book are you using? Are you
interested in
contributing it?

Cheers
Emil
