When exporting contacts from the standard contacts application to the disk and importing them to Thunderbird - the pictures are missing.
I'd like to export all contacts with pictures though.
Is there a way to get a 100% backup of my contacts? Where are they stored and how can I back them up?
00001.vcf
. Could you check the exported file for a string likePHOTO;ENCODING=BASE64;JPEG
(one example from mine, followed by the base64 encoded pic)? Really nothing? What is the source of the pics (maybe merged in from Facebook or the like)? Also, what's your device? – Izzy♦ Oct 27 '13 at 10:5200001.vcf
created during the export does contain the encoded photos with the same string that you mention. The source of the pics is mostly.jpg
but could also contain some other formats. The device is a Nexus 4 running Cyanogenmod 10.2 . I guess the error has to be then how Thunderbird imports these contacts. – king_julien Oct 27 '13 at 11:08
