Is there any chance you are going to include an option for automatic restart of the widget (and just the widget!) in a future update?
Otoh, one way to do this might be to hide the main window on startup if the widget is to be shown.

I installed the app mainly as a means to send SMS messages to groups, a feature which is currently unavailable by default in Meamo 5 (which is absurd, btw). Can MyContacts do this? can you make MyContacts do this?

Very nice app. I go to be the 100th person to thank you for it!
Do I get a prize?
I was wondering if it would be possible to add in animated contacts? Use .gif or flash or movie files maybe?
I do enjoy things being animated.
Thanks again for the app!

Have you still in plan implementing "press&hold" touch dialing from widget in next releases?
Two possible ideas:
- split the on the the contact (e.g. left half show contact info, right half place call) - I don't like it!
- after clicking on the contact show two buttons under (or above) the contact icon with the options - not trivial to implement but the best I could come up with so far...
Let me know your comments

Hi Fcrochik,
I have finally succeeded followingmthe instructions you have given on how to make the widget start automatically after reboot.

I took me quite a while!
The widget is for me clearly the best thing about Mycontacts. I am afraid it would put a lot of the other Non-developers out there off, if they also have troubble following the instruction.

I decided to not "restart on boot" automatically for now because it takes a while.
Before I make it the default option I want to delay "reloading the contacts" so it does not impact the "phone startup time".
In theory I don't need to load the entire contacts database just to show the desktop but I have to work out several details before I can make it work this way.

Otherwise, I will have to create a "front-end" to allow users to enter the message when I think we have already too many good options out there.
I would suggest you (and everybody else interested on this feature) to contact your favorite SMS application's developer and suggest my approach. I will gladly work with any of them to make it happen.

For me "double click" that is now implemented is better than the 2 replacement solutions you posted above. I will think about it and let you know if suddenly a better idea comes to my mind. ;-)
Thank you for the great job once again!

Sorry, I didn't read through all 46 pages so I might have missed the information. Is there any way to close MyContacts from outside the app? Is there a d-bus command one can use?
The reason is that theme customizer restarts desktop after changes but with MyContatcs running this completely breaks the desktop. Only solution left is to reboot the device. So I'm looking for a possibility to stop mycontacts before restarting desktop and to start it again when desktop is running. Do you have any clue on how to do this in a clean way?
