The GC Icon in contacts was originally put there by Datapath for when planning on having only an "All Contacts" list, to distinguish what contact list each was from. With the combo box saying what contact list you are in, it seemed redundant without an "All Contacts" feature.

I intended "None" as a universal fallback. I was thinking that since not all setups will have evolution support and not every user will want the performance hit if they accidentally click "Contacts" and it loads their GC Contacts, we can fallback to "None".

I didn't go with only an "All" because not all would like the performance hit of GC Contacts. I have not yet done an optional "All" out of laziness and the dirtiness in knowing it would be imperfect in merging the contact lists. Adding this would mean I'd probably have to add back in the icons and then provide icons for the other modes. Since I'm e lazy, to avoid svn conflicts I'll wait till brontide commits in case his threading/performance work might have touched those areas

brontide, i tried to pm you for the new version as your msg said but it says you are unable to receive pm's when i tried

Doh... as others have stated just grab it from extras-devel, I'll post a link if you can't find it.

i cannot find it , i enabled extras-devel and dont see it

The new package name is DialCentral

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...d/dialcentral/

Unable to install error

Any chance this will be available in extras-devel for us chinook users?

in the contacts tab, what else is able to be selected from the drop down where it says grandcentral with the arrow next to it?

Currently, you can choose:
1. None for no performance hit
2. Grand Central which makes it do a bit of initial processing when first entering the tab
3. Maybe Evolution but only if you have the right libraries installed. It is confirmed to work on the desktop but is somewhat untested on tablets

Grandcentral is no longer a performance hit, but the contacts will not be there when the tab first shows, it will quickly populate over the next second or two. It's now 100% background threaded as well as the default.
