As seen at right, the Panther Address Book does updates, finally! For a test:
- Create a new address with some easily distinguishable fake names.
- Drag the address to the desktop (creates a vCard).
- Open the vCard with any text editor.
- Change something, save the vCard.
- Drag the changed vCard back into Address Book.
Nice, isn't it? Now I'm waiting for Address Book 3.1.1 that exports the UID-field to the vCard and would accept any UIDs.
[robg adds: The update feature in the new Address Book is well done. The red text in the screenshot shows the information that differs from the currently existing record, and you have the option of keeping the old car, both cards, just the new card, or updating the changes from the new card to the old card.]
