Description Corentin Lecouvey 2013-08-13 09:46:40 UTC 
Changing address book from the app menu has no effect on the contact list.
After restarting gnome-contacts, the contact list is correctly displayed.

I encountered this issue on Ubuntu and Fedora 19.

gnome-contacts_chgaddrbook.patch

Please find attached a preliminary patch, which allows changing the address book on-the-fly.

There's still a problem : I seem unable to clear/reset the Contacts.Store on refresh (so old contacts merge with the new ones). Tried different approaches without success ; it might be related to the asynchronous nature of IndividualAggregator callbacks. Any insight is appreciated.

I think this is a folks issue. It should send the right change events when the primary address book is changed.
Comment 3 Allan Day 2014-04-08 11:07:40 UTC 
The contact list shouldn't update when you change the address book any more - we always show all the available contacts.

Do we still need this patch?

Not the patch, but this is a bug, indeed
