Thanks for working on rolo!
I have a "wishlist" feature request. Rather than storing all contacts in a single flat file, it would be great to be able to specify a directory instead. Contacts would be read from all .vcf files from that directory, recursing through subdirectories. A new contact would be saved as a new .vcf file in the root directory, with some form of the FN or N field used automatically for the filename (perhaps Lastname,Firstname with fallback to FN and an integer added if necessary to prevent a filename conflict).
This would allow other vCard sources to be imported and maintained separate from the primary list. It makes synchronization easier because multiple contacts can be edited on different devices before the sync, and a conflict is less likely than if only one file is being edited. Also, managing the contact database with version control like Git is easier. It is like mbox vs maildir.
Thanks for considering!
