- Thread-topic: Add photo to contact in Entourage?
Hi,
I have a couple of hundred students I want to import into my Entourage
database as contacts. I'm also able to retrieve pictures of them from our
intranet.
Because some of the students are already in the database since I've had them
before, and Entourage doesn't let you set Project or Category information
when importing from files, I have a plan to parse information from two text
files and create or update the contacts with AppleScript. This seems to be
possible except for the photo - I can't find a property of the contact class
that would hold this information.
The only thing I can think is to instead use Perl or something to create
vCard files, then convert them to Entourage contacts using the vCard data
property. But I'm not confident it's going to import everything I put in
the vCard. Then I still have the updert problem: if the contact I'm
importing already exists, I have to merge the old contact information
(including links, categories, etc.) into the new.
So before I go down that road, I wanted to ask the experts--has anybody
found a good way to put photos into contacts automatically?
TIA,
Matt
