Great app but one, minor flaw. I can't choose how the names are displayed (e.g. first name and then surname, which is default and I'd like to use the exact opposite). A bug or a missing feature?

@vrwarp
horizontal-call does not get thumbnails, at least not intentionally,
It's not the scope of the app, I want to keep it simple, A few pending features I have in mind are :
- Ability to choose which fileds are used when searching.
- Ability to choose the way contacts are displayed
- Automatic refresh of contacts incase of a change.
- Caching of contacts for faster loading.
I'm just busy at this time of the year, and can't get time to do all this + I'm not a pro programmer so these things take me time.
(:

New version 0.8-1 is hereby released!
For me, this is what installed the new QtMobility Contacts module, I am not sure how it should be if you are using the application manager, If any problems rise, I will revert back to English only and we see where we go from there.
- Removed English only enforcement since libqtm-contacts 1.0.2 is now installable! You will need to run the following command :
- From Root terminal : apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade

However, there's still no buttons for ÄÖÅ (Scandinavian alphabets), I assume theses are coming along? Also, should I worry about this log, since I got it whilst updating with your commands on X-Term?http://www.pastebin.com/YvSdsnLt
Sorry though that it's not the whole log, couldn't get it.

Code:
Setting up libqtm-contacts (1:1.0.2-maemo1) ... Setting up libqtm-location (1:1.0.2-maemo1) ... Setting up python-conic (0.1-6) ...
If you run horizontal-call and you have unicode support, then libqtm-contacts 1.0.2 was installed, else you need to resolve you problem with that program. I might be able to state the version in the dependencies of horizontal-call which will force the phone to either reject horizontal-call or install libqtm-contacts 1.0.2 but I am not sure what the syntax is.

And how can you search for contacts with umlauts if they are not displayed?

If so, can you use it in the normal contacts application?
Can you post a picture of?
If it's part of unicode, it should just appear, as I have removed all filtering.
Edit: I found some more info about it, i still need to know whats the status now, do you have contacts with umlaut? are they displayed in horizontal-call?
You can take a screenshot and upload it. Don't forget to blur any unwanted info.

I mean characters like üöä or ß. How can I search for contacts with those characters in their names? Will those umlauts be displayed automatically if I have contacts with names like that?

Also another bit that might be useful is that while getting the entire contact list is slow (20 seconds for 250 contacts for me), getting a single contact is almost instantaneous. So one optimization I made was to store a cache of all the names + id and I query the contact manager for more information when the user selects the id. I also saved the cache in the qsettings and compressed it too
I haven't looked at the latest horizontal call in a while, but if you wanted to get a thumbnail of the user, you'll have to do a BGR to RGB conversion before displaying it (yet another qtmobility bug). A related bug to that is that all thumbnails are served at 64x64. I have a bit of code that converts it back to RGB and displays a scaled version of it (~90x90). Scaling it isn't so bad because the n900 has a ridiculously high resolution
