GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 667912
Remove name field from formatted address label
Last modified: 2012-04-17 17:10:22 UTC
After a long discussion on bugreport 636810 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636810) Milan suggested to open a new bugreport for the conclusion. My usecase is the following: I use evolution in combination with glabels to print address labels for letters and cards. I can use the formatted address with the ${Home Address Label} variable in glabels. The problem is the fact that the formatted address contains the name of the addressee, however this is always the "full name"(FN) field. However, this field is in sync with the name field and I sometimes need the flexibility to use an other name, like "Johnson Family". Currently I store those in the nickname field. The request is to remove the Name part from the formatted address label, so I can use ${Nickname} ${Home Address Label} on my stickers.

Right, I agree with this.
Created attachment 212225 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; I decided to not change all the address formats definitions, I rather made no use of E_CONTACT_FULL_NAME, thus it's basically removed from the address label. The only problem is that this is fixed only for a new contacts or after editing it - it doesn't matter what change will be done, it only need to be clicked OK button from the contact editor. (I added and deleted a letter in the ICQ field which enabled the OK button.)
