There is already an internal DB structure implementation which is unlikely to change. XML output would be better handled by an external tool assuming abook generates a nice output. And TAB-delimited CSV ("allcsv"), "vcard" or even "custom" formats are here for this purpose : not as generic as XML could be, but sufficiently predictable, consistent and exhaustive to let anyone convert this output to XML or anything else. Overall, XML doesn't sound adequate for exporting abook contacts, in 2025 - because...

My submitted patch still uses ~/.abook if it's present as not to break existing installations but uses $XDG_DATA_HOME/abook for new installations. Here's to hoping it'll land in 0.6.2, if there's ever such a thing (with all the improvements made since 0.6.1, there should be).

abook overrides the whole file when saving. It comes with mentioned drawbacks but any modification in the direction of "CRUD file operations" would inevitable imply much more code to create/debug/maintain which is something no-one is currently willing (aside from maintenance, there is no active abook developer currently)

nnako — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 15:28:11 -0000

Hi @gibboris , thanks for your quick reply. I would think, that the effect of having to use the abook application with the --datafile argument, each time the application is called (from within mutt and from the command line) makes it necessary to always remember that location each time. But when the --datafile flag could be set within abook's configuration file (default is ~/.abook/abookrc) I could set it once there and forget about it in the future. As far as I have seen, there is no way to set...

Raphaël posted a comment on ticket #15

Raphaël — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 20:00:27 -0000

I think the right approach is to use the --datafile flag everywhere you want to use a custom location. I'd be less "magic" than a symlink and more predictable. There have been an attempt into respecting XDG standards (which would apply to the data directory) https://sourceforge.net/p/abook/feature-requests/13/ https://sourceforge.net/p/abook/mailman/abook-devel/?viewmonth=202011 but these was not merged so far.

Raphaël — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 18:32:59 -0000

May possible explanations: - file wasn't saved in the first place (unwritable HOME directory? You should have received a warning) - file was saved at a custom path (abook was aliased, configuration changed it?) - file was saved at a path that changed (your HOME was mounted/remounted/moved between reboot) - file was saved at a path that disappeared (your HOME was cleaned, eg live-system, ...) By default abook saves datafile into $HOME/.abook/addressbook Note: A first patch (not ready for merge yet)...

Raphaël — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 18:28:04 -0000

You may want to - Read current documentation (provide as man pages), man abook and man abookrc - Identify if anything is actually missing / unclear - Patch the documentation (in man format) and send the diff as an attachment to the abook-devel list Before you actually go into detailed modification, you may want to post there what you feel is lacking from the existing documentation and how you intend to fix it.
