Feature description

Hi, I wolud like to suggest a feature to "better import" contacts into Fossify Contacts from desktop software like Thunderbird.

The feature is simple:

when a .vcf file (saved from a specific Address Book in Thunderbird) is imported into Fossify Contacts, a prompt message should ask the user if he want to import all the contacts into a specific group (with possibility to create also a new group on the fly).

In case of duplicated contact, the software should prompt for "update existing contacts" or "discard".

Why do you want this feature?

A better way to quickly update contacts form desktop software that support . vcf file but has multiple Address Book.

Additional information

None.
