GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 258920
Export function for contacts to common formats (ldiff, csv, tsv etc.)
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:44:47 UTC
A function to export contacts (and other data) to common formats like ldiff, cvs etc. would be great.
full ACK ! export function to .ldif is still missing. try synchronising online-contacts and PDA's without it, no chance. Pleaze give me that feature! :-)

adding eplugin keyword
errr... also see bug 281146 (vcf/vcalendar export for *calendar*) and bug 235502 (html export for calendar and contacts) about this.
a common exporter mechanism would be better than individual plugins for each type. but that would do too as a start
isn't there already a library that already contains that functions?
This command does not export to a CSV format - BROKEN usr/lib/2.2/evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv This command does export to a vcard format usr/lib/2.2/evolution-addressbook-export --format=vcard version 2.10.0 But vcard is less useful/supported than csv!
CSV export is fixed now.
This enhancement has been posted since 2004. Has anyone worked on this feature? It seems a good first step would be to incorporate evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv functionality into the evolution menus.

I can echo Eric's comment: "This enhancement has been posted since 2004. Has anyone worked on this feature? It seems a good first step would be to incorporate evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv functionality into the evolution menus." The export function for common formats is still a very needed one, I hope someone will work on this sooner than later. Many will be grateful. Thanks in advance.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
