Address field

[piu130]

Would be nice to have an address field with Street, City, County, Postalcode and Country.

Address will be added in 3.3.0. But only the structured address in one field, it wont be split to all those smaller fields. I dont want to complicate the app with that.

Hi @tibbi,
thank you for your app.

Would it be possible to add support for separate fields for the separated address fields (street, postal code, city, ...). I understand that you don't want to complicate the app, but perhaps it would be possible to use one field default and add a setting to enable the separate fields.

The missing separated fields are the most annoying thing of all contact editors I know.
I only know about two apps that allows edit of the separate fields but both are not such nice as yours.

Can you please think about it again?

I was thinking about it already, but I dont want to add it for now. I really see it as an unnecessary complication, even if optional only.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

I add a new contact ("Max Mustermann) and add an address "Musterstraße 17, 12345 Musterstadt".

After that I open the web page "https://www.google.com/contacts/" and open the address field in the web UI. All the information is shown into the street field ("Musterstadt" should be the city and "12345" the postal code).

If I export all the contacts to a CSV file I see the address is placed into the fields:

• Address 1 - Formatted
• Address 1 - Street

But the street itself is only "Musterstraße" and its street number 17.

Perhaps you can tell me the format I have to use to insert the address correctly so "Address 1 - Street", "Address 1 - City" and "Address 1 - Postal Code" are identified correctly.

not much you can do differently in Simple Contacts. Some apps handle whole addresses in 1 field, some have them separated. You just cannot make it work properly across multiple apps and services. Thats one of the reasons I simply prefer putting the whole address in 1 field, that ensures that no field will be trimmed off or hidden.
