Google Contacts 0.3.40

Google Contacts 0.3.40 is now available for download. In this version, you can undo deletion of contacts. Since the addon is untable yet, it may delete contacts in Google by a bug. You may delete them by mistake, too. You can recover the deleted contacts/groups by using this new functionality.

You can invoke the function from a drop down menu of the Reload button in the address book window (see the image). The Reload button is not added by default settings. Customize the toolbar and add the icon if you have not added it yet.

There are a few limitaions:

• only Google entries deleted from the address book window can be recovered
• a mail list can be recovered but email addresses which are stored in it are not restored
• only entries deleted in the session will be restored; i.e, all cache are purged when you finish Thunderbird

Please let me hear your comments about the new features in v0.3.30 and v0.3.40!

Google Contacts 0.3.30

I've uploaded Google Contacts 0.3.30. It includes the following new features:

1. Progress meters appear while synchronizing contacts
2. Confirm deletion when synchronizing offline changes

The 1. is added to notify a user of the end of synchronization. Synchronizations may take some time ; it depends on conditions of your network, amout of data, load of Google, etc. If you edit address books while the addon synchronizes, it may fail. So, don't modify address books while the progress bars appear in the status bars of main (messenger) window and address book window.

The 2. feature is disabled by default. You can enable it by the option dialog. When the addon apply offline changes, it deletes some items. It judges them based on the last updated dates of them. However, the judgement is very difficult and it is impossible to do perfectly. In order to avoid wrong deletions, it asks a user items to be deleted by a popup. Uncheck items you don't want to delete.
