<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51004> [replace mozilla address book parser with a new implementation that doesn't link to mozilla libraries] They've certainly accomplished the "doesn't link to mozilla libraries" part; not only can you not access your other Thunderbird addressbooks, but you can no longer access *any* other Mozilla (SeaMonkey for example) addressbooks. If you rename the ~/.thunderbid directory, you get a "The file $finame$ could not be loaded." That also applies to any previous .odb's with non-Thunderbird addressbooks (links are all that the .odb uses). Found this: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57285> [Address Book Data Source Wizard lists "Mac OS X address book" on Linux] which seems to shed some light on the issue (sdbc:address:mozilla: etc). -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
