Re: Export / Import of contact groups?

Hi,

there are two ways:

- If it's a local contact resource, the contact groups are stored here: =
 ~/.local/share/contacts/*.ctg
- If it's a remote resources, the easiest way is to open akonadi console=
 and then look at the raw payload of the contact group in the browser ta=
b.

The format is a xml, not really sure where it came from but likely from =
an old service provider.

Cheers,
Carl
