Since I’ve been playing with
Xobni more one question I’ve come across is why doesn’t
Xobni use Outlook’s own contact photo information?
That was somewhat of a rhetorical question because I didn’t really need an answer and it wasn’t worth completely pursuing for an answer.
What it did do though was make me wonder where
Outlook keeps it’s contact photo information? I’m curious because I love that
my phone displays the contact photo on
CallerID when that person calls me. It makes it really easy to see who’s calling you with a quick glance at your phone if you’re in a meeting or something.
For working with the photos themselves I put them in
“My Pictures” but I don’t necessarily want to keep all of those sitting in there. Can I delete them? Should I bury them somewhere in the file system and just remember where they are?
I couldn’t find any information about the location of this stored information on the Internet. Anybody know? Oddly enough the other information I couldn’t find in the help section is the default minimum maximum size of the image for processing.
It’s a series of questions now though, because then I started wondering what it would take (or why it didn’t already) for the
.vcf card attachments to include a photo of the contact person. What would be even cooler is if there was an option for you to include people’s avatars from things like
twitter.
