Sandy should also recognize "half hour".

I agree with this suggestion! I think the main point of this is to provide a means for mass action, whether it's archive, delete, or other things. For example, in my daily digest I have 15 phone calls which I completed or no longer need to do. I'd like to select them all and archive them with one action, but for now I have to select each one and then archive it.

If you can provide us an answer as to how to perform a mass selection and action on a subset of items, it will be a tremendous help to my efficiency and add great value (IMO) to the service.

Since Twitter is unreliable, I would really appreciate using IM.

got it... you were close on the phone # its actually the address data in gmail exports out as

LABEL;TYPE=HOME=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:"a bunch of text for address"

Doesn't look like sandy can handle this input... I don't know if its non standard, I'm guessing the fault is on Sandy's side.

... now what I don't understand is my initial failures with just the two vcard ID"s. Those shouldn't have failed and in fact if I import that same file now Sandy accepts them!

hrm.. None of mine had phone-numbers.. If you remove the 2 phone numbers from the first contact and then send it to her.. Does it work?

bloftin replied on July 03, 2008 18:01 to the question "Import contacts?" in I want Sandy:

im XP32/Pro and FF3... sandy will accept a single entry from me but not more. From the above post example i can do either entry but not bot together in a vcf file.

I tried a couple of different entries and doesn't look like sandy want's to parse more than one... format doesn't seem to be an issue just multiple vcards in the file.

I'm running windows XP64, using FireFox3.. My vcard looks like this (sanitized):

I simply attached it to an email to sandy (via gmail), with no subject or body (Aside my from sig). During the export, I chose "vCard" format, and saved it as "contacts(4).vcf".

bloftin replied on July 03, 2008 17:22 to the question "Import contacts?" in I want Sandy:

Whats your platform? i'm running xp and saving the .vcf to local hdd and then sending it to sandy as an attachment. Did you put anything in the subject or body?

I just did my 'most contacted' which is 20 entries and it failed. Sandy replied "I got your email but couldn't find anything you asked me to do. Let's see if we can quickly remedy that:...."

here is a snip from the first two entries... in my .vcf (modified user info)

Yeraze replied on July 03, 2008 16:12 to the question "Import contacts?" in I want Sandy:

I just exported 6 contacts into a vCard file from GoogleMail, and then forwarded it to Sandy, and she got all 6 contacts with no problems.

bloftin replied on July 03, 2008 15:43 to the question "Import contacts?" in I want Sandy:

Looks like this 'feature' is remains entirely broken. I have tried to export my gmail contacts and import them into Sandy with an attached csv and vCard with no joy.

I don't want to use Tracy's method as I believe it strips all of the meta.

Any idea on when this will be working?

Forge42 replied on June 28, 2008 13:59 to the question "does sandy work with stikkit" in I want Sandy:

The fact that these threads still get responses after al this time suggest to me that a lot of folks feel like I do: Stikkit had so much more promise than Sandy currently does. Sorry, not trying to be a troll, but that's how I feel.

Elizabeth,

Sandy has a web-based user interface. iwantsandy.com How are you not aware of it? I thought people had to go to the website in order to create an account.

Elizabeth Wiley replied on June 26, 2008 21:13 to the idea "I want to be able to specify in my email how soon before the event to be notified" in I want Sandy:

how about:

r dad's birthday july 4
*n july 1 at 11:00

or something like that? or @n...

you could even require that it be a date instead of 3 days from now or that kind of thing.

Elizabeth Wiley replied on June 26, 2008 20:51 to the discussion "Prioritizing todos" in I want Sandy:

What about the development of a general web-based user interface for editing? LIke where you could click and remove and add items from the website? I really like the flexibility that I can use email and sms, but I would like it coupled with the convenience of a simple, visual user interface available online that requires no memory of commands or power moves.
