Fair enough :-)
However, I did additional things like checks, filtering, and so
forth that were important to my data-set. E.g., my contact template
does contain "0043/" as a pre-filled content for phone numbers. I
wanted to ignore those fields that got only this template and not a
complete phone number. I also wanted to get warnings in case some
data does not fulfill certain other requirements.
I have to admit that I don't know the feature-set of the Org-mode
export. I would be very surprised, if the Org-mode export method is
able to follow my custom "photo:" link I am using, grab the image
file, test if it has a image format that works with VCard
2.1 on Android, and encodes it in base64 accordingly.
You see: I want to have ways to tweak the export process. And as
long as I don't know ELISP that well, I stick to the tools I know.
A side remark of mine: a couple of months ago I tried to find out
how to store address information, phone numbers, and so on in
org-contact properties. AFAIR I could not find anything except the
:EMAIL: property. Is there a standard out there that answers
questions like "separate street from house number?", "how to cope
with multiple addresses for one contact?", and so forth? I created
something on my own as you can see on [1].
I am happy if you can get benefit from my little project and I am
also happy when Org-mode offers a great export functionality for the
rest of us :-)
