BUGDAVE Works very well! This program saves me the awkwardness of always asking to take someone's picture with my phone. I look forward to updates with additional features and improved name matching.

DAVIDE RIVOLA Good software. Another suggestion is to show also the actual image on Address Book, this will help to choose which one is better!

DAUCLAIR Thanks for all the feedback so far, keep it coming! I want to make future versions of AddressBookSync as useful and as good of a user experience as possible. Thanks for trying the app!

ELROD AX Great idea, fairly well executed.

One suggestion: Add birthday sync as a separate column, with check boxes, instead of a global preference. Often, I want to add birthday data without replacing the contact's photo, which was already in my address book. Choosing which data one wants to sync would be a big improvement to an already good application.

DAUCLAIR I only put down Intel down because I don't have a PPC Mac to test it myself with. I believe it should work fine on either Intel or PPC as long as its 10.4+, would be interested for any feedback if you try it.

GLOBETROTTERDK It seems to work fine on my G5 single (PPC) with Leopard 10.5.5. Any chance that would consider expanding this app so that it syncs Facebook contacts with Address Book?

DAUCLAIR If you are asking about syncing phone numbers and emails, there is not a good chance of the app ever doing that. The Facebook Development Platform Terms of Service prohibit accessing these through the API. Right now profile pictures and birthdays seem like the only logical thing that would be useful to sync between Facebook and Address Book.

GLOBETROTTERDK Interesting. I have found an iPhone app that adds Facebook contacts to the Address Book, as well as their current profile pictures. I wonder how they are able to do it?

CHAS_M Sheer unmitigated GENIUS!!

The only suggestion I have for this app is to expand the window to show what picture (or lack of picture) is CURRENTLY in the Address Book so that people can decide if the FB pic is a better or worse choice.

Otherwise perfect!

2COMPOSERS Works even better than I thought. Synced 65 Facebook contact pics, and: their birthdays!

Fast, uncomplicated. Love it!

MARTINRH v1.4 runs (OS10.5.8) but doesn't login to FB even though I am logged-in in Firefox. Preferences either greyed out or won't open so no means of telling the app the login details. Caused a couple of crashes on quit.

GRYPHONENT Great... but I wish there would be a version for LinkedIn as well...:(
