Exporting Contacts / People with vcardconverter doesn't work

The cheat sheet seems to be outdated. You need to specify a correct collectionId to the command so it finds the correct database.

I managed to get an export done using:

$ pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-contacts-qt5-tools
$ devel-su -p contacts-tool collections

# this will print something like:
#      ID: qtcontacts:org.nemomobile.contacts.sqlite::xxxxxxxx31  Name: aggregate
#      ID: qtcontacts:org.nemomobile.contacts.sqlite::xxxxxxxx32  Name: local
#      ID: qtcontacts:org.nemomobile.contacts.sqlite::xxxxxxxx33  Name: SIM
#      ID: qtcontacts:org.nemomobile.contacts.sqlite::xxxxxxxx34  Name: SIM
#

# now take one of the ids (full string) and export the contacts:
$ devel-su -p  vcardconverter --export contacts_aggregate.vcf  qtcontacts:org.nemomobile.contacts.sqlite::xxxxxxxx31

Or, putting it all together:

 contacts-tool collections | awk '{print "vcardconverter --export " $2 "_" $4".vcf, $2"} | sh'
