There are other use cases that depend on having all data locally, for example merging address books from several different phones into a single unified address book. Browsing that unified address book is expected to include photo data, so loading that on demand isn't an option. What you describe is part of the plan, as fallback when the data is not (yet) available locally. > When we connect we attempt to > download the full phonebook which is cached for fast lookup but while > ringing we can download the full vcard including the picture. Even if we wanted to do it that way, it also wouldn't work at the moment because the PullAll download doesn't include the information that is necessary to get the full vcard later on. Any comments about my proposals for fixing this (download into dir and/or add X- prop to vcards)? -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
