Improvement to Merge Items
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 10:43 am
I very much like the new "Contact details > Merge Items" setting. The problem is, that it has to decide on one of the differing labels - from what I see, I assume it takes the one of the first account it sees.
Now I would like to propose a simple improvement: If the chosen label is "other", don't use that but any that is not "Other".
Explanation:
I use a server that doesn't support all of the labels offered by DW, especially not the "Custom" one. However I find that very useful, especially for telling emergency numbers apart (e.g. my bank has "Hotline", "E-Banking", "Block debit card", "Block credit card", ...). So I keep a copy in the phone-internal account (or DW-only account) with the specified labels. But as this account always comes last in line, the contact card is still full of "Other" numbers.
What do you think?
