contacts with same uid in different address books

[sss123next]

good day. i have two address books with contacts copied via evolution, copied contacts have same uid and khard does not work with such contacts, what is best/simplest way to workaround it ?

Card X from address book phone will not be available because there is already another card with the same UID: XXXXX.....
Card Y from address book phone will not be available because there is already another card with the same UID: YYYYY....

Khard itself does not handle such cases.

But you could change the UIDs of every vcard with a small shell script.

Something like:

new_uid=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-z0-9' | fold -w 36 | head -n 1)
sed -i "s/^UID:.*/UID:$new_uid/" example.vcf

this works, thx, but it would be nice to have ability to fix this case in khard itself
