+# vcardexport for Meego Harmattan
+
+<img src="brokencontacts.png" />
+
+The vcard export GUI feature of the contacts app on the N950 is broken. The console app "vcardconverter" successfully digests vcards, but you won't be able to get them out. In my case, it converted some back to vcards, but failed on others. Unacceptable. For updating to <a href="http://www.developer.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/db230178-aa63-4c73-ba7f-20930da13cad/Nokia_N950_OneClickFlashers.html">today's new firmware</a>, I didn't want to take a full backup of the tracker database, choosing instead to start fresh, suspecting that the new firmware fixes <i>a lot</i> of bugs. How, then, was I to backup my contacts, if I wasn't going to backup the tracker? Vcard is the perfect neutral format for this.
+
+So in a few lines of easy Qt/C++, I wrote vcardexport, a console application. It spits all the contacts out into one giant vcard file that can be reimported later with vcardconverter. Simple and easy. The biggest pain was getting the Aegis manifest correct, as the auto-generation tool is broken, and documentation is kind of sparse, but it's all sorted now.
+
+You can <a href="http://git.zx2c4.com/vcardexport/tree/">browse the source here</a> or <a href="http://zx2c4.com/projects/vcardexport/">download the latest deb from here</a>.
+
+### Usage:
+
+ $ /opt/vcardexport/bin/vcardexport > ~/vcards.vcf
+
+Hope this is helpful. Enjoy the new firmware:
