KMK started following the question "Can soocial sync a specified gmail contact group list to my mobile (instead of all contacts)?" in Soocial.

Handle duplicate false positives

I have a couple of contacts with (almost) the same. First name and surname are the same, but I have added a suffix to them, to see the difference.

Unfortunately, Soocial does not see (or show) a difference in the web interface, but suggests that they should be merged. It is a fair suggestion, which I normally would appreciate. But in this case, I would like to be able to tell Soocial that they are indeed two different individuals, so that they can be kept separated also in the future (and have the duplicate indicator removed).

It would be a nice addition to the service. :)

This thread is marked as "Implemented", although it is not. Maybe a sign of something... ;-) – KMK, on December 08, 2009 09:00

Not sure it is the same problem, but is is very similar.

After re-connecting Gmail (wanted photos to sync, so I deleted connection to Gmail and and then reconnected with the "merge contacts" option).

The contacts are deduped, and at first look it all looks fine. But, there are two problems with the dedupe... (or to be fair, I think it problem originates from Gmail's contact handling, but it would be good if Soocial could correct the symptoms...)

1. Companies with only a company name, has that name filled out both in the Organisation field, and in the "Given name" field.
-- it would be great if the dedupe would somehow identify this and only keep Organisation name.

2. Some contacts end up with two Organisation entries - one with only the Organisation name, and one with the the Organisation name plus the Unit 1 field filled out.
-- in those cases the two Organisation entries should be merged into one, keeping the Organisation name plus the Unit1..x fields.

Beside these small issues, the re-connection of my Gmail account was performed very smoothly. Thanks for that.

It seems this is now supported? However, the gravatar image is copied to E, rather than dynamically linked?

KMK replied on November 20, 2009 10:41 to the problem "Picture delete button" in My Name is E:

I don't even see any option to delete the pictures in the library page. Any progress on this. (Now I have duplicate pictures...)

A comment on the question "google contact pictures don't sync" in Soocial:

I see. It would be good though to have some indication that the contacts are not entirely synced, if the picture is not present in one end. I am not sure I dare remove/re-add the Gmail contact, as it may cause some loss of connected chat friends, etc.
Maybe a way to push a particular field (e.g. picture) over to one connector could be a development for you? – KMK, on November 16, 2009 13:25

Only some of my Gmail contact pictures are synced to Soocial... and in one case it seems the resolution has been changed also on the original (Gmail)?
