Be able to export/import the contactlist

[diederik]

As requested here, it should be possible to import and export the contact list. The most important part is exporting, so you have access to your data, while importing could be done later.

Importing could require a dialog window to select which contacts you like to add (and which are already added). Otherwise, when a contact list is imported any contacts not already on the contact list should be added. Groups that do not exist should be created and contact group assignment should be preserved as best as possible.

It should fully exporting and importing to/from the CTT format, used by WLM for exporting contacts. KMess should support to this file format, which is a basic XML file, readable in any text editor.

updated milestone, since this is getting in 2.0 after all.

I just noticed this ticket was still open, while I've created another ticket for improving the dialog (#349). Merging tickets.

The improvements I've been thinking of are:

• add field separator option. (comma, tab, semicolon)
• always add quotes arround fields?
• remove the options to select fields, if there are not many fields, always export everything.
• check formats which WLM and Kopete use.
• add last seen date, etc..
